Starfield is 4K/30 on Series X, 1440/30 on Series S

Doubt it will sell well. You won’t see this in the best selling of the year lists.
Bungie's game runs pretty well on current generation console, and it looks pretty good as well.
I recall seeing, and playing, Destiny on PS4 early on and it was a very solid HD locked at 30fps... So I'm not sure why they get pulled in this conversation. Maybe you meant 343? I mean, their games perform well enough, but the cutback in graphics and general world details makes it obvious how they achieved the performance level they have. Halo:I looks so bad that I suspect they never even had to optimize any of it.
There is nothing in StarField that makes it look like a game that should run at 30fps on a console like Series X. But hey, MS are the ones selling the 12Tf console, with VRR, VRS and what not.
But how many millions of planets were visited in the first week @Swift_Star ? Surely sales don't matter anymore when we get sweet sweey MAUs /s
Because it's a well known issue. The engine is old. I guess that's the reason why Bungie's new IP "MATTER" might use the Unreal Engine 5.
Frame rate aside, WHAT is starfield. What is the story. WHY are you going from planet to planet? WHY are there no aliens in a sci-fi game besides fallout tier animals to shoot? What is the overall narrative that would put this game in league with a fallout 3 or Skyrim?
Or as an anon on 4chan asked:
“What's the hype for Starfield based around? It's so far looking like Outer Worlds just with plain non-alien planets and procedural generation (but not even in a cool dungeon-y way like Daggerfall)”

PC means nothing, of course, people are getting it on PC due to PC having a better advantage than Xbox consoles where it's 30 fps. Even I will get Game Pass on PC to play the game.

Honestly, 30 fps is not an issue, outside of the more enthusiast players, most people don't even care if their games are on performance mode or fidelity mode.
Btw, my Skyrim install is still at 720p 30fps because that's the only way to make it not crawl, thanks creation engine

Tbh, it really isn’t, but the Xbox fanbase is vocal about the tiniest detail. They roasted totk for its low fps and draw distance. They did the same with the water on sm2 and the stupid puddlegate and they don’t hold Xbox games to the same standards, so now they get called out and out themselves as hypocrites.
30fps on a game that has first person view is terrible.
The game simply doesn't look good enough to be 30fps.
60 fps > 30fps but I've never been a 60 fps or bust type of person. Enjoyed my 30 fps bangers during the PS3/X360 era just fine. Microsoft did talk a lot of shit about power and this game is exclusive so console warring is just fairness. That shit trended on twitter for quite a while. But that drama is not my concern.
I'm however very displeased to see that their facial animations and facial models are still dogshit after this being a common criticism of Bethesda titles for over a decade. You're gonna tell me you didn't invest in updating your animation pipeline and address this after so many years.... Fuck off. Expect Mass Effect Andromeda type meme's, and rightfully so. Who gives a shit about 4K if you can't get 60 fps going or your character facial models and NPC facial animations still look PS3 era bad or worse.

i fully agree. i play most games on 30fps if it is eye candy. Starfield isn't one of those.
plus, xbox from TOP TOP to bottom bottom screamed about 12tf, RDNA2, most powerful console, beast eating monsters for breakfast and here we are, second bigger game, xbox own game, with 30fps.
they deserve all the backlash and critique they are getting. really, no excuses.
The Xbox fab base is…
They created the narrative that 30fps games were a thing of the past on the “most powerful console in the world”.
No Man's Skyrim, you go around mining and playing a bad FPS around 1000 procedural generated planets.
As far as story goes you get ancient stiff animation, NPCs generated with the character creator and Bethesda tier story. Remember the awesome stories from TES and Bethesda's Fallout? Me neither.
