Phil Spencer prefers frame rate over resolution - future titles will focus more on that
- Thread starter Earvin Infinity
- Start date
Gears , Halo and Forza are 60fps on a base machine at the very least in multiplayer.
if you are playing on an X then they are all 60fps.
Yup. Played like a dream.
You can't see it, but I'm drooling at the thought of this.
I don't get this line of thought, there will always be "default" settings but isn't the best world where you get to decide the balance? Or at least for the options to be there.
Series X will be able to do both native 4K and 60fps easily for a lot of games.
The CPU was the same and that machine's literal purpose was to run Xbox One games at 4X the resolution...
Not really. There wasn't an option to boost the CPU in a meaningful way that would actually support higher framerates across the board at the time of Project Scorpio. The next best option is how can they make the GPU and memory more developer friendly and powerful, which is what they did.
Wouldn't you focus on resolution? Scorpio still uses a Jaguar not a Zen 2, it's kinda obvious why their approach would be different (half step vs next gen.)
I just hope we get options. What resolutions can we expect for their own titles if they favor framerate?
It's disappointing that someone at his level is perpetuating the false "resolution/framerate" dichotomy. What about AI, loading, physics, etc.? Sure, if the CPU just happens to be at 50% utilization, you could lower the resolution and raise the framerate. But if you're actually utilizing the CPU, lowering the resolution will do *nothing*. People need to understand it's not resolution vs framerate, you also need limit number of characters, physics, and everything else in the game that is using the CPU.
He's been saying this for a while now.
Gears 5 is already a dynamic 4K/60.
Variable Framerate/Refresh
Variable Resolution
Variable Shading
The future is bright, the future is variable
This gen we've seen franchises that had been 30 fps on last and/or current gen pushed to 60 fps (Halo, Gears, Forza Horizon). I expect that to continue next gen as well, with more first party games being 60 fps on Series X. I think it's something Xbox is committed to given the numerous comments from Phil and others regarding framerate and CPU over the last 2 years.
Yep.
Zen apus werent even close to ready at the time so it actually makes perfect sense. Besides, X1X does offer 60 fps modes for quite a lot of games. FH4 having a 60 fps mode on it is a huge achievement.
That's because the One X runs many of their first party games at 4K60, like Halo 5, and Gears 4/5.
Would love more devs to follow this as well, graphics are great already and of course I want them to continue getting better, but I want 60fps fluidity to a norm even more.
For games that look like current gen games sure. I'd rather see way better graphics at 1080p or checkerboard resolutions than 4K.
Microsoft research already work on Next Gen AI.
No loading is the goal for Series X
Microsoft acquire Havok, don't worry about physics.
Probably a similar set up to Gears 5 (4k 60fps), Dynamic resolution, temporal upscale and full resolution post effects. Also next gen features like VRS etc.
This is fine with me.
If you showed me a game at random I wouldn't be able to tell you if it was 1080, 1440, or 4K anyway. I also thing that the fluidity of 60FPS looks better in motion than the extra resolution (preaching to the choir).

Give me frame rate over resolution 8 days a week. Give the photography mode folks a web browser and access to high quality images of the game.
Sounds like a halfway admission to the PC crowd. Could also be crowing about superior tech, or the opposite.
Some people were guessing we're not only gonna see 4k, 60+ fps on next gen graphics games, but also Ray Tracing without hitches. Smelled a bit off...
