Sorry, we really should abandon PS4 and Xbox One

General Discussion

Even I started on PS4. (now Xbox Series X)

As someone who played a lot on both, I know these consoles have limitations.

And likely the cause of recent lag spikes with new graphics.

This will only become worse in the future.

I seen these limitations in alot of other games too.

Aka a portion of Cyberpunk launch can be blamed on the two consoles, because it really never was meant for it.

And we just learned Fallout 4 had to delete 1/4 of their map, which include an underwater vault, mutant dolphins and a Giant Squid battle. Because the old consoles could not handle the water engine stuff.

OW2 likely has been limited as well but is being pushed forward. (Like we had seen before from other similar game companies during development.)

It would be better to abandon them. (should have been a thing with OW2 release)

Lock them to 30fps like the switch if they really can’t handle the game?

The lag spikes on series X only happen when a player leaves or joins. It’s an optimization glitch that doesn’t occur on ps5. If you’re dropping frames outside of that then you have a dud of a console my boy.

The better solution is turn them back to OW1.

And make them separate.

Heh… I’ve been suggesting making the two games separate for a while… I really wish they had done that…

I have seen this occur on ps5, so there is likely some misinformation going around

No need to do this, they can lock the older consoles on lower settings and if they want to make higher settings for the newer ones

ps4 still has a ton of players fyi, so they would just lose people by doing this

And my dad works at Nintendo

Cyberpunk (and soon Fallout 4) have already cut their PS4 and Xbox 1 players.

And Fallout 4 is totally an amazing and well optimized game that everyone is talking about.

I won’t even mention cyberpunk

Fallout 4 next gen trailer is coming soon. (Likely something similar to Skyrim Anniversary.)

12

Just what we all wanted, another Bethesda rerelease.

This game has ran flawlessly for me. And also you don’t get to disconnect 5/6 of this community. You think the game would maintain without consoles?

I get what you’re saying (and that it’s the wrong rerelease) but honestly if they didn’t Fallout series would definitely die.

Assuming that the Fallout TV series doesn’t kill it.

All consoles are just scams. They should abandon all of them.

16

(from my experience with owning gaming PCs, you could say the same.)

(didn’t last past two years at avg)

(My PCs now is more for social)

Really? I mean not to derail this thread but you’re paying $500 for a console, only to be limited by what games you can/can’t play and a controller.

They were fine before they hit the $500 mark, that’s just a stupid price to pay for them.

I bought my Xbox series X for $200…

Well that was obviously in a sale or something. They sell for $500.

Ya we need to commit to the next gen already. Been affordable and available long enough now.
