Bethesda boss Todd Howard has explained why Starfield is going to be locked to 30fps on Xbox Series X|S consoles.

I will come back to this post in September to see if I was right lol

Biggest concerning signs:

  1. 30 FPS lock on xbox, there’s no way to spin that positively, absolute fail

  2. Predatory pre-order bonus skins to get people to buy before they know what they’re actually going to experience (buggy shitshow)

  3. Countless attempts to hype up the game and huge random assurances from the devs

  4. Preemptively admitting the game has jank and trying to make it seem okay lol

At least the bugs will be absolutely hilarious I think.

Wow that is way more of a neckbeard take. There is no way in hell starfield is going to beat totk. It’s going to be janky shit, but outside of specific communities nobody cares about starfield in comparison.

I think it’ll be close as TOTK is a really, really strong contender. In any other year Starfield would get it for sure. But TOTK is pretty incredible.

There is no way in hell starfield is going to beat totk.

Tears of the Kingdom sold over 10 million copies so far. Breath of the Wild sold 31 million.

Skyrim sold 60 million.

Zelda, being Nintendo exclusive, is a much smaller franchise than major Bethesda games. Unless Starfield is a total bust at launch like No Man’s Sky or Cyberpunk (and even those managed 10+ and 20+ million copies sold), it will beat TotK easily.

Edit:

but outside of specific communities nobody cares about starfield in comparison

I’d think that about a mobile game like Fallout Shelter, but at 170 million copies sold it beats all other Bethesda franchises together.
