Prey and Dishonored on Series X|S: FPS Boost isn't just about 60fps

Prey and Dishonored on Series X|S: FPS Boost isn't just about 60fps • Eurogamer.net

'Clearly, the big takeaway here is that FPS Boost is actually about more than just the doubling of performance. Reduced input lag is a knock-on effect of improving frame-rate, but there's the sense here that the Xbox Compatibility Team is doing more here to reduce loading times than you might expect. And bearing in mind how much of an issue storage speed limitations were for the likes of the Fallout games, it'll be interesting to see how run in their new FPS Boosted renditions. We'll be checking that out soon but in the here and now, these Arkane titles feel renewed and refreshed and I highly recommend them.'

finally finishing Dishonored and WOW.. it looks and feels like a completely different game.. FPS boost is a real game changer in terms of backwards compatibility..

And now 60 fps is important. :l

Important? Seems more like boon than important.

I really like what they’re doing for backwards compatibility.

I played these games so long ago 😄

Eurogamer's selling it like it's more important than being just a boon.

It couldn't have been longer ago than you played Demon's Souls.

Prey isn't as old as Ratchet and Clank. 🤣

If console peasants care so much about performance why not buy a PC, those 2 games played just fine on PC 4 &8 years ago. This is nothing to brag about it’s just sad to wait this long.

Good framerates are good

It's a good move pushing for these new consoles to support them on old titles

@SolidGame_basic: i haven't played Prey yet and it's awesome that I can experience these older titles while taking full advantage of the new hardware I purchased..

Sometimes, good news is just good news.. No need to try and downplay absolutely everything..

Well obviously us console peasants cant afford a PC. Which is why we all admire you PC gamers so dearly. So inspirational.

My eyes are burning. :P

Good news for you, not much news for us who have played these games on PC already. Sorry 🤷‍♂️

@gym_lion: PC Gaming is cheaper than console gaming.

It's not though is it. I couldn't get close to a XSX or PS5 specs on a £450 budget.

@SolidGame_basic: good news for me and many others.. not to mention that it's just a good practice in general for the performance of older titles to be in-line with newer hardware.. this may be old news for PC players but this is good news for console players and last time i checked, the Xbox Series X|S were consoles.. Sorry 🤷‍♂️

@gym_lion: you can buy a decent gaming pc for 1000 dollars (about 720 pounds) or go all out and buy one for 2000 dollars still in the long run it’s cheaper just because of online play is free. You get also to play all Xbox and soon some of the PlayStation exclusive games.

I could, I have two PC's under my work desk right now that can run anything on fairly high settings....why on earth would I want to sit behind my desk any longer than I have to?

@mtron32: you don’t have to sit behind your desk to play PC games you can hook it up to your PC and play from your sofa. You can use both the ps5 and Xbox controller which ever one you prefer or buy a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. So having a PC you Have access to psNow, gamepass and rest of streaming services. PC is just better

But I have a PS5, XsX, and a Switch in addition to the PC (which is in my home office). In order to use the PC on my sofa, I need to haul one of those beasts into the living room and slot it behind the entertainment console just to play games. With the setup right now I can play anything I'd like with minimal clutter from my couch or elsewhere with the Switch. The PC is just another option I've chosen to ignore, I just happen to need a beast rig for work.

@mtron32: ever heard of Laptops and hdmi

So your solution is to buy another computer over just playing on the consoles already purchased. 😂 You are too smart. 🤭

Right? Consoles are pretty close tp PC's at this point. I think the fact that we play on large displays from a distance negates any of the crispness that I see behind my PC monitor.

Weren't people saying the resolution was going to take a hit because not only is it smooth but it looks much better than I expected given people said they were dropping the resolution.

Anyhow, the responsiveness definitely is noticeable and the load times pretty darn quick, an exceptional experience has now been made even more so.

This kind of automated update is impressive and can't wait to see wider adoption to many of the XB1 games out there. Will definitely be a reason I fire up Alien Isolation sooner rather than later.

@lamprey263: yep, so glad I finally gave Prey a try after this update.. The game is awesome so far.. After finally finishing Dishonored with the new performance, I'm looking forward to a Dishonored 2 update to 60fps

@Antwan3K: I am up in air myself about whether I wanna go back and finish Dishonored Definitive Edition (already beat it on Xbox 360 years back and liked it) or play Dishonored 2 and sequel or expansion or whatever it was, which I still have yet to play, and heard great things about those. But I am committed to this Prey run-through now.

@lamprey263: Play 2. You already played the first. But first, finish Prey. 😁

My original post and what I am talking about

The person you were talking to has a PC but prefers to game on consoles in his living room. What are you not understanding? The real question is, why is the way someone play their games any of your concern?

@Pedro: prey and dishonored played just fine on PC when they were released and now people are making a big deal about it that an 4 & 8 year old came play 60 fps on consoles if they care so much about it why not invest in a PC

Because they are not interested in PC gaming. It is that simple.

@Pedro: so they hate gaming

I played Dishonored at 60fps+ on a gtx650 (welfare grade gpu btw) almost a decade ago. Now this 60fps is impressive? LOL. The fact that the ps4/xbone couldn't handle this game in 60fps was already telling a lot about how underpowered the systems were from day one.

😐

Lems do, yes.

play these games on pc with 60fps
