Spencer claimed over and over and over that Scorpio was a 'premium' console.
There is nothing, nothing 'premium' about 30fps.
Microsoft messaging about the console, it all over the place, since it got announced last year. DF analysis about the GPU and CPU made it appear the xbox could do 4K 60fps? I will say this though Phil Spencer never mentioned frame rate. The Microsoft xbox team did and often. Phil said the xbox one x was a true 4K console. We can debate him saying that was right, when games are not running at 4K native right now?
I believe the point has always been to run Xbox One games at native 4k with 4k textures. Which no other console can currently do. They also said this at the initial announcement that it will be up to developers to utilize the power of this console as they see fit. You cant expect all developers to follow a similar path as Microsoft 1P. Now given the track record of MSFT 1P I expect most Mp components of games to be 60fps. When it comes to third party games there is nothing written in stone about how they will use the power of the console infact I fully expect most of them to use checker boarding. why? Because it is easier when your engine is already setup to do this to deliver games at 4k. The additional power will probably be seen closer to launch in the optimization phase of these games we see as checker boarding.
Reading checkerboard rendering should not automatically make ps4 pro and xox games equal as that is only the resolution setting but it should be noted of the additional advantages the xox will have over the pro even if they are both using sparse rendering.
You're missing the point here. You talk about devs utilising the power of this console but what power is there really? It is ALL geared towards higher resolution i.e. it means nothing to anyone who doesn't have a 4K TV.
An option to run every game on this thing at 1080p 60fps would show it's a console with power in all the right places and the resolution bump for 4K TV's would be a nice bonus. Instead they bleat on endlessly about this and that in 4K as though that is all that matters. Spencer even asks why 60fps is even important, clueless ignorant dickhead that he is.
You need to stop using the word 'power' in relation to this thing. It is a shit budget PC with a crap CPU that massively bottlenecks framerate and a half decent graphics card. It starts and ends right there.
it's not all about 4K resolution, its also about higher quality graphics.. for example, Forza Motorsports 7 has native 4K resolution but it also has graphical qualities that approach and/or match the equivalent of Ultra settings on PC.. and yes, you can see the difference is those higher graphical settings on a 1080p TV as well as the supersampling from 4K and the other benefits they've mentioned for 1080p TV owners..
Now clearly, the Xbox One X is most beneficial to a 4KTV owner.. but to imply that all that hardware power is wasted when developers can seemingly achieve 4K resolutions along with higher graphical settings than found on other current-gen consoles, including the PS4 Pro, is simply being fanboyish.. especially when a game like Ark: Survival Evolved is indeed going to run at 60fps on Xbox One X with Epic/Ultra settings and only 30fps on PS4 Pro with medium/console settings..
At the end of the day, Microsoft said the Xbox One X is a 4K console and they are leading the charge by promising and delivering native 4K on their 1st party games.. that's literally all they can do, dude.. they aren't going to mandate 4K on other developers.. some of these developers are already doing checkerboarding on PS4 Pro and likely want to utilize checkerboarding on the Xbox One X as well in these early stages.. other devs may value doing 60fps at 1080p and Epic/Ultra PC settings instead of doing native 4K.. those decisions are beyond Microsoft's control and they don't change the fact that the Xbox One X is console that is capable of native 4K resolution and higher grade graphical settings on current gen games, illustrated by all their 1st party offerings to include Gears of War 4, Forza Horison 3, Killer Instinct, Halo Wars, Forza Motorsports 7, Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, and State of Decay 2.. future titles like Halo 6 and Gears of War 5 will likely follow that trend and that's something that no other console can claim to be capable of.. it starts and ends right there
