I wonder if the recent performance increases is due to dropping consoles?
I doubt, though even IF it is we've no way of knowing.
Moreso I'd like to think that the recent performance increase is a sign of much needed optimisation that might make a console release for Odyssey, 4.0 and "live" mode more likely and something that actually happens, sooner rather than later!
MAYBE after the release of Odyssey updates 15 and 16, which is all Frontier have mentioned right now, IF they leave Odyssey on PC in a state that the Devs are finally happy with, they'll turn their attention back to consoles (and PC 3.8 at that)
Stranger things happen!sure, they released ody for only PCs, ignored consoles, said "no more content for consoles" to finally "no CGs galnets and separated bgs" only to change their mind by 180*
Santa isn't real
As we can only hope will happen here, once Odyssey is "finished"!
If that was so then this would have been shown last year when apparently Fdev stopped working on consoles?
You could say the drop of 3.8 increased the speed of 4.0 . But considering EDH 3.8 ran better than 4.0 I find that questionable .
The issue with frame speed is that as long as it's consistent it's not noticeable, but any discrepancies are seen , if you are expecting 60 and it's drops to 30 you see it , if it's a steady 30 ( numbers are just an example) it's still playable .
Because the thargoids are aggressive? (going by your other post)
Not sure the publisher gets a say with steam refunds, not sure though.
That's up to Steam, not Frontier. Their store, their rules.
No man's sky runs with 60 fps on PS5. So why not the live mode of EWell I mostly am only asking for Odyssey and the full "live" experience on "next gen" consoles, though I can see no reason not to add new ships and weapons etc to "last gen ", like we always got!
It was just TheYamiks "Unplayable" footage on the unsupported Steam Deck that made me think that with just a little optimisation the expansion and 4.0 could run on "last gen", but again indeed what I really want and "all" I'm really asking for is the full Elite experience on "next gen" consoles, which is surely still possible!
?
Because the COBRA engine is...(insert REDACTED).No man's sky runs with 60 fps on PS5. So why not the live mode of E
Did you mean: Ancient?
Yes, and I just submitted a ticket with Frontier support.
Yeah, from a biology perspective, the human eye and brain register a fresh image in a sequence being presented to them roughly every 13 milliseconds. That's in the vicinity of 80fps. Which tracks with my ability to tell the difference dropping off at close to 90fps, after that everything is smooth sailing and it's what I target with games like Elite so that any dips are imperceptible.
Of course, you want to effectively double up that cap for anything like VR with stereoscopic rendering, and you need higher refresh rates anyway for certain sync technologies to work.
One of the biggest lessons learned from the Series S though is how much lower graphical fidelity people are willing to accept if it means locking in a smoother higher framerate.
Because NMS is a cartoonNo man's sky runs with 60 fps on PS5. So why not the live mode of E
O7
But a vibrant and engaging cartoon with lots of gameplay, really great performance, tons of free updates and no in-game purchases. So all in all a really great GAME and good value to boot.
Depends what you're looking for in a game, good thing we have so many right now to cater to so many tastes, I really fell off NMS, but ED I always keep coming back to.
