Kingdom Come Deliverance 2’s Scope Was Impacted by Xbox Series S Limitations; Will Run at 4K@30 FPS on PS5/XSX

[John Elden Ring]

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's scope was impacted by the Xbox Series S hardware limitations, as developers could only make a game that was 25% bigger than its predecessor.

As reported on the Czech website Zing.cz, during the ongoing Game Access event in Brno, Czech Republic, producer Martin Klíma confirmed that the Xbox Series S technical limitations, namely the 10 GB of RAM, have impacted Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's scope. As the weakest current generation console has only 25% more RAM, Warhorse Studios decided to make the game only 25% bigger than its predecessor. This isn't the first time we have heard how Microsoft's console impacted the development of multiplatform games, but it is still disappointing.

During the event, the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 producer also revealed that on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the game will run at 4K resolution and 30 frames per second, although it wasn't specified if it will be 4K native resolution or upscaled. On Xbox Series S, the game will run at 1440p resolution and 30 FPS mode. The lack of multiple display modes suggests the game will be CPU-intensive, which is expected for an open-world role-playing game.

Yay

 

[Nomen_Nescio]

MS and shitbox strikes again.

 

[Nomen_Nescio]

Guess I will have to wait another 6 or 7 years to get a KCD game with full potential realized.

 

[xollowsob]

Press X to doubt.

When will we get a PSVR2 version of KCD 1 and 2?

What is there to doubt? The devs themselves said so and it's not like it is a secret.

That's an xbox shill. Braindead troglodyte.

So, if the SS had 16 GB of RAM, games would actually scale.

That the series S is the reason it only runs at 30fps.

Sure, buddy. I'm an Xbox shill, keep jumping at shadows. Then again, if I was a shill, I would be here to watch Sony ponies act like Xbox shills did, while their favourite plastic toy circles the drain.

This is what concerns me about ff7 part 3, the series s and next Nintendo system holding back the scope.

No, the SCOPE of the game - which is even worse than technical limitations - was affected because of the Potato Box.

That's what people with a bit of common sense and not a short-sighted view said since the consoles were revealed.

Given that Series S makes up about 70% of all Xbox sales, Microsoft has no choice but to force publishers to design around it's limitations and we all lose.

 

[Nhomnhom]

Is it first person again? 30fps in first person games should be prohibited.

Hasn’t Sony already secured the trilogy’s exclusivity? So SE’s new multiplat policy won’t affect part 3 I reckon.

Sadly I don’t think GTA6 will have this luxury. They’re probably developing around the series S limitations as we speak.

You don't need even mention spec of other devices, SE said themself, that any additional platform hurts the game's scope.

FF7RR would never ever had been the same game on PS5 if it wasn't exclusive.
