As someone who doesnt mind 30fps, there shouldnt be games running at 30 on new gen hardware anymore lol
If you target 60 fps you have to be more conservative woth poly counts, draw calls, shader complexity, rendering capabilities etc. You get have more you can play with on the rendering side and can technically have better visuals. It’s a dev decision. Devs will always need to make that decision until there are not hardware limitations.
and in this case rhey made the wrong decision imo
games like minecraft, runescape or WoW are still popular, why the hell are studios spending this much of their performance on having 4k resolution on every rock, tree and dust mite
Beth has historically had to make serious gameplay concessions because of consoles. Console limitations killed open cities and levitation on their engine in Oblivion.
I don’t mind if they play it safe with Starfield.
