"although the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S were treated to an absolutely awesome feature in particular."
I'm confused, but what is this "absolutely awesome feature in particular" that is available for Xbox Series X/S but not other current-gen platforms? (PS5/PC) Sorry but this article sounds definitely kind of misleading.
For those that didn't read the article fully, it runs at 900p with DRS (800p-1080p) Sadly, most videos seem to point at it running closer to the 800p than up while driving through the city, which is kind of ridiculous for 2022 and 4K TV owners.
I think we have Xbox One S titles running at higher resolutions than 800p :/
Yeah... I'm not too excited. Specially with how terrible Dying Light 2's "next-gen 60fps" patch went. FYI for anyone unaware, they achieved 60fps by just lowering resolution to a muddy dynamic 720p-900p resolution and lowering graphical settings (texture quality, etc). All while having major screen tearing problems due to a potentially uncapped framerate.
We really shouldn't be calling updates "next-gen" just because they boost framerate by halving the resolution/quality and unlocking the framerate.
For anyone skeptical, The Xbox Tester covered gameplay of Dying Light 2's 60fps patch. See for yourselves. https://youtu.be/WRxWegPls4I?t=238
Night and day difference! I get people hate delays, but I wish people were more understanding of developer crunch times and how much we can benefit from waiting for a game to cook for a little bit longer
@BBB It definitely had some pretty serious launch issues (save data corruption for example), but they were ironed out rather quickly early on. Thus why it's received mostly glowing reviews recently from players and game review outlets
@RadioHedgeFund That's a really poor argument to be honest. Forza Horizon games are mainly set in locations that could be fun to drive on, and never really about the "Car Heritage" the location has. By that logic, Mexico and Australia are kind of similar in that they both have mainly big Rally locations, but beyond it that's it in terms of racing. And neither of the two countries are really famous for their car history. And yet, they are both popular tourist destinations because of how gorgeous they both are from a ecology and fauna standpoint.
And lets not forget Mexico is far more than just Deserts, given a large part of it is covered in Mountainous regions and Greenery, and which could be equally fun to drive in.
Also @Luigi_Skywalker, Did Australia (Forza Horizon 3) have a huge back catalog of famous racing cars produced there? No, right?

The official announcement makes no distinction of feature availability between current-gen systems.

Re: SEGA Responds As Sonic Frontiers Suffers Performance Issue On Xbox Series S
Please keep in mind this workaround was posted already to the r/XboxSeriesS community, and users have been reporting 60fps to not work either. Has someone confirmed this "fix" works for them?

Sweet! Right on time for me to use my refund for Sonic Frontiers 😁
(runs like ***** on the Series S, 1080p 30fps with extreme environment pop-in, refunded immediately)
