Senua's Saga: Hellblade II | Preview Round Up - XboxEra

Sounds like it's shaping up nicely. I am sure it'll be more of the same in terms of combat / puzzles and it'll be fairly short as well... but as someone who loved the first one I am looking forward to this.

No 60fps option for console, PC only

Given the pace of the game and the style they're going for this really doesn't bother me at all. I know others will be disappointed though...

[fishbowlhead]

Oh well I won’t even bother downloading that then, this should have been 60fps without fail on SeriesX.

[CMcK]

I’m still going to try it but no 60fps mode is disappointing. Hopefully DF can get a look at it and see if there is scope for a performance mode update.

[Brad]

Hopefully it's not limited to 60fps on PC /flex

Interpretation: new Xboxes will also have a drought of new quality titles and will rely heavily on old games.

Maybe... though with the amount of studios under their umbrella I don't think it'll be anything as severe as we've seen coming into this generation.

If it means we get backward compatibility tech enhancements like autoHDR and frame boosts which came in this generation then even better.

Xbox have made many mistakes but I'd argue their support of backwards compatibility has been pretty amazing this far.

This joke falls flat on its face, when the OG Xbox and especially the Xbox 360 had spectacular game libraries.

[Brad]

I think he's referring to whatever the next Xbox is being back compatible with series games. Not likely to be much of a draw? You're not wrong about the first 2 Xbox generations mind!

Ah my mistake.
I feel its very likely BC is a given on future xbox and ps hardware now. I for one would love BC enhancements to Xbox one and Series titles on my next Xbox. Currently my library is sitting at about 400 without gamepass
