Defining Duke, Episode 119 | Redfall Is 30 FPS - Is It Time For ANOTHER Delay?
Added 2023-04-13 16:00:06 +0000 UTCXbox fans, we have reached an impasse. It's Team Delay versus Team "Get Your Game OUT!" Arkane has confirmed that Redfall, an Xbox first party exclusive, will launch at 30 FPS on consoles with 60 frames down the line. It's clear that this generation has tested the patience of fans and, naturally, this news has led to a big blow up. The optics for this situation are clearly bad, but would things be worse if Redfall were to receive a second delay? Some fans feel that it's time for Xbox to finally deliver, come hell or high water! The Dukes dive into this brewing disaster as well is if this is a "litmus test" for an inevitable Starfield 30 FPS confirmation. There is much to be said on the quality standard Xbox is setting for themselves as they seem perfectly fine with being in second place. Otherwise, the Dukes sink into Persona 3 Remake, Ravenlok's release date, another 10 year commitment by Xbox, Sonic's continued success, and much, much more!

I think you misinterpreted Nicky V's (might've gotten the name wrong) question @1 hour 40 minutes. I think they were getting at the idea of Game Pass providing less of an incentive to stick with a game because there's less of a financial investment via the subscription model than if you were to buy it a la carte. Which personally I find to be true to a certain extent. But instead you guys just started talking about playstation style exclusives? This was a question specifically about the financial implications of games pass and how that might affect someone's game consumption. Not about the form any particular games takes. Much love.

2023-04-18 15:39:30 +0000 UTCI love the show every week but I think you guys need to check in on the editing at the hour 20 mark for me all sound was gone.

2023-04-15 03:06:46 +0000 UTCIt's a shooter? And its mostly single player? Doom Eternal is another Bethesda title and looks great, and is 60fps? Call of duty come out every year and are 60FPS? Deathloop I believe is 60fps? ANd that was a Arkane title, not arkane austin but still arkane? They purposely showed the game on PC to press, and then MS never intervened? They did with starfield because it was in even rougher shape last year. MS being hands off on a developer/publishing house that has inconsistency with specific studios within Zenimax. MS cant even get Halo right? So when do we start raising the red flag?

2023-04-14 17:23:07 +0000 UTC1440p and 60 FPS should be the bare minimum and is completely fine.
Matthew Two T's
2023-04-14 15:56:29 +0000 UTCI think games media is overplaying the need for 60 fps. Coming from a PC Gamer, i love high FPS, but never expected it in consoles and still dont.
Dana Anderson
2023-04-14 14:16:15 +0000 UTCDo you guys think the reason why they restricted the preview to single player is because the 4 player co op was too unstable to show at that stage? I'm very sure that is the case
Phil Walker
2023-04-14 11:08:19 +0000 UTCI was wondering, I thought I heard the framerate was improved to a stable 30 fps, but I doubted it was 60 now.
Matthew Cooper
2023-04-14 10:12:28 +0000 UTCI think console gamers are in for a big shock when the next tranche of current gen only games come out. When has a Bethesda mainline game ever been released at 60fps on a console? Also, good luck doing any business whatsoever with Nintendo if emulators run on your console.

2023-04-14 09:13:47 +0000 UTCI've been good to go personally with everything I play, but I also understand that I'm using the best of the best PC and that's not the norm

2023-04-14 00:42:29 +0000 UTCI'm also mostly a PC gamer but there hasn't been much to laugh about in the PC space recently. Most of the time we get the worst versions of games.
Brian Hunter
2023-04-13 23:38:45 +0000 UTCI'm over here laughing in pcmasterrace power, I hope they get the console version rocking at at least 60fps in the near future, but I have zero doubt that I'll be able to run it at a high fps on PC. Hopefully she's rocking at 120-144fps all day, but we'll see. 👍
Lou & Rei Loper
2023-04-13 22:15:06 +0000 UTCI totally get that haha.

2023-04-13 21:06:58 +0000 UTCIt's so bad now that to me it was never good lmao

2023-04-13 20:38:33 +0000 UTCStar wars sucks. If you still like it then you are objectively a dunce.
Jason
2023-04-13 20:21:43 +0000 UTCIt did not
BatmanBeyond
2023-04-13 20:12:00 +0000 UTCGotham Knights got a 60 fps patch??? My version doesn’t run at 60 fps. I’m pretty sure it’s fully updated.
Kendrick Calles (Ca-Yes)
2023-04-13 20:11:49 +0000 UTCMatty, gotta have more confidence in our Rangers. Also, 30fps,always online, lack of story progression for co-op for the non host, add all that on top of its released sandwiched between jedi survivor and tears of the kingdom, just delay it. That release timing was already gonna have it disappear in the media cycle.

2023-04-13 18:01:06 +0000 UTCI don't subscribe to game pass even though Xbox is my primary console because I mostly only buy games when they're heavily discounted. I also don't need Gold since free to play games don't require it. I'm sure it's a great service, but it doesn't align with my gaming habits. Game pass could have all of the biggest #justone games, but I probably won't be playing Hellblade 2 until a year after launch. Redfall will be at 60 by the time I get to it.
2023-04-13 17:52:56 +0000 UTCLoving the thumbnail 😄 🤣
Monterey Jack
2023-04-13 17:43:54 +0000 UTCMatty- Gotham Knights is still not 60fps on console. Please don’t get my hopes up
BatmanBeyond
2023-04-13 17:18:50 +0000 UTCHonestly I don’t care what the frame rate is if it looks fun I’m playing it. I’ve never changed graphics setting in games and I’m not going to start now.

2023-04-13 16:53:41 +0000 UTCBeing an Xbox fan has been so deflating this generation. All these promises for mediocre content.
Bobby Woods
2023-04-13 16:45:29 +0000 UTCSo let me get this straight. Today Sony is going to show FF16 at 60fps and Starfield and this game are 30 fps with the Xbox being "more powerful".

2023-04-13 16:24:57 +0000 UTCCan't wait. Thank you for the episode Dukes 💚
Namistai25
2023-04-13 16:15:21 +0000 UTCHaven't started listening yet, and I'd play it on my PC anyway....but 30fps? Not a chance in the WORLD I'd play basically anything at 30fps haha.

2023-04-13 16:14:41 +0000 UTCDefinitely delay for me
