The video from ACG made mention of DX12 issues and that it was being addressed and hopefully patched on Day 1.

I think in total he had 3 crashes, but he had a total blast with the game. He said, enthusiastically, go buy it.

Don't know how much of a difference from Series X to PC there would be to really make a difference in score or even whether you should play it or not.
 
I'm really looking forward to this. A little disappointing there's no matchmaking but I'm used to soloing games anyway so not that big of a deal to me.

I'll probably wait until the weekend to start this though. Right now I'm too hooked on running my Mercenary Company in Mechwarriors 5.

The Ascent's arcology setting is splendid, if heavily derivative - shame that all you can do here is gun and grind.

I mean, at it's core, it's a twin-stick shooter. Not sure what else you do except shoot lots of mobs.

PC has raytracing and the console version/s will not according to the developers. It looks like it won't be patched in either.

Are these ray traced effects also available on Xbox Series X and S? If so, is the ray tracing quality exactly the same?

Tor Frick: We do not support ray tracing on Xbox unfortunately, it’s a PC-only feature.

On Gaf/Era the dev said that it's not supported on Xbox "right now", and said there team is too small to have it available on Xbox right now.

Found it:

Theorry got it right, no raytracing on console at this time. Reason is quite simple, we just dont have the manpower and time for it with our team size, even though we desperately would like to have it because... juicy reflections :) Not a simple checkbox to flip exactly, I'm afraid.

It's not that I'm stressing about it, I just found it really really weird that reviews didn't come out until four hours before release. Generally that's not a good sign IMO.

I'm guessing there are issues on the consoles that the PC doesn't have, looks like no RT on consoles and the framerate drops from time to time on the new gen xbox consoles. That or the PC version was just reviewed as a separate entity by PC enthusiast outlets only and they didn't score the xbox versions. I thought it would score higher, I haven't played it yet but I am disappointed to see it scoring as low as it is in some places.

So do the Series consoles have Ray - Tracing like the PC DX12 does?

No ray tracing on consoles unfortunately, that's PC only.
