Fallout 4 was not a handcrafted enhancement. Just like the original Crackdown, it doubled its framerate from 30 to 60 fps through the BC system. They developed techniques to double framerates which were applied to a wide swath of games.

I would assume most of that work is being done alongside all of the PC work. With Halo 4 hitting flights soon and launching probably before the end of November, I could see MCC getting the Series X/S optimized patch before the end of the year.
I don't see them doing much for 5 since it's not coming to PC.
Smart Delivery = Dedicated patch/install for your next gen console (for free).
So it will get a first patch for XSX/XSS.
It's different than just BC, which won't require any patch at all, and just run the last gen version with automatic improvements.
I don't know what they are going to call enhanced games by the BC team on XSX/XSS. This generation they were referred to being X enhanced.
It wasn't simply through the BC system. It was individually done through a process with a technique/method applied by the BC team and thoroughly tested.
i'd temper expectations with that, i don't think they've comitted a date for the fallout 4 thing. it's proof of concept, i think.
I see them doing that when the MCC team is done with Halo 4. They'll move on to working on getting Halo 5 on PC.
Yes, but I'm trying to say that it wasn't specially developed for any specific game. It was developed and applied to a wide variety of games. The next-gen optimized patches are handcrafted for specific games.
Like I said in my last post:
I'll pick one up in the new year but I'm oddly looking forward to finally finishing Fallout 4 in 60fps. Also looking forward to Black Ops Cold War.
This has made me more confused about BC at launch TBH, am I right in thinking these games are being specifically altered for Series S|X and other titles haven't been patched but will get frame rate doubling and auto-hdr?
Yes, but that's different than saying it was simply through the BC system. And somebody saying the technique/method was handcrafted by the BC team and tinkered specifically for an individual game isn't necessarily wrong.
That's basically it, the frame rate doubling is not going to be for all games though.
Oh, I see what you're trying to say. Chalk it up to miscommunication then
That list is just, eh. I mean, I love to muck around with emulation and enjoy the optimisations, but when I buy a next gen console, and I jumped through hoops to get one day one, I want to get my lid blown off. This ain't it.
You keep saying this like the blog post mentioned something specific. It didn't. There will be a Series X/S version sometime next year and until then you'll be playing the game via BC.
WRC9 is going to play soooo much better on next gen consoles!!! this has me hyped for nov 10th like nothing else
Its great to have the launch line-up clearly laid out, but there's just nothing compelling there to convince me to make the plunge, and I was hella close to impulse preordering one fresh off the Bethesda acquisition, but now that the hypes settled down, I know I'm better off waiting.
For those who have got their preorders locked in though, Yakuza is the only right choice on that list.

They did say something specific:
And that's what Smart Delivery is and works.
Destiny 2 optimized for XSX/XSS version comes out December 8th.
I'd like to have 120fps and (as I'm currently playing it on PC and have gotten used to it) a FOV slider.
And no rocket league.
Imagine these will get updates when their new seasons launch.
Yeah I saw the other thread. Was really hoping launch but it's not that big of wait. Hope Siege gives us some info soon too.
Yes with possible other enhancements such as 120fps and/or Raytracing added, etc...
I'll be playing gears tactics and Tetris effect on launch day then while I wait for cod and cyberpunk to release, but it's a pretty disappointing launch lineup if I'm being honest. Especially compared the PlayStation.
