and in this case rhey made the wrong decision imo

games like minecraft, runescape or WoW are still popular, why the hell are studios spending this much of their performance on having 4k resolution on every rock, tree and dust mite

Beth has historically had to make serious gameplay concessions because of consoles. Console limitations killed open cities and levitation on their engine in Oblivion.

I don't mind if they play it safe with Starfield.

And the PlayStation ports of their games were always terrible. Like the further south you went in Oblivion the longer it would take to load a town. Sometimes Leyawin would take 5+ minutes to load.

Skyrim had that stuff with data corruption and the upside down dragons.

While I don't remember, I'm sure the fallout PlayStation versions had their own issues. So I'm glad Bethesda is solely Xbox/pc now because the PS versions were a distant afterthought anyways.

30fps is fine so long as it's not a crutch. And since it's on game pass day one, if it's terrible all I've done is waste bandwidth downloading it, and not $70.
