Xbox Series S was 'annoying to optimize for,' Suicide Squad developer says

[Fenton]

We've seen some developers speak out on the Series S' weaker hardware, including Remedy, who launched Control on Series X/S. Remember that the Series S' GPU is 61% weaker than the Series X, with nearly 40% less RAM. This reduction in power and memory has apparently caused headaches for developers, with one Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League artist, Del Walker, speaking quite openly about his experiences with the Xbox Series S.

"I wish the Series S never existed, man. So annoying to optimize for that console - I expect we'll unfortunately see more game launches get skipped by Xbox in the future," Walker said on Twitter.

I mean I would agree with the guy if their game wasn't utter trash to begin with. It's like they only take the bottom of the barrel devs and quote them on things like this instead of the actual devs that put quality and passion into their work.

You can't blame 1 man especially artist, unless, you have imperical evidence that he was to blame?
Hard to believe that artist had any word in the game. He did what he was told buy higher up.

I imagine the project in general must have been annoying for Rocksteady devs. Sure.

The article was taken down because Del never work on 'Suicide Squad'.
But what he said about the Series S still stand.

 

[Danja]

I imagine Rockstar probably feels the same way trying to optimize GTA 6 for that potato

 

[Systemshock2023]

But suicide squad also ran like trash on more powerful hardware, what's the excuse there?

Developers sure love to complain. If it were entirely up to them we would need an RTX 4090 to run Tetris.

FUD

 

[Gediminas]

if article was taken down, it was came clearly from the top. that's how m$ rules all the time.

 

[Entropi]

Lol at people trying to discredit his credentials. It's way easier and logical to admit the XsS is a shit console.

 

[AllBizness]

He is walking everything back in 3..2..1..

I doubt that, it's not like he's trying to work for Microsoft or something.

 

[Zzero]

Didn't that game come out on One? Just give them the gimped version.

FUD

Damn, My fault for trusting Del's word. Never thought he would lie at something that can easily be disproves. Why would he lie when his name was in the credit?

 

[Kokoloko]

Should of said while developing it
