I'm aware that the PS5 is low on "exclusives". A big part of the reason I got it was for simple things like being able to run old PS4 games at higher framerates.
We're past the diminishing returns on visuals for games; not to say games can't look ugly, but with a decent art direction, the capabilities of current consoles are more than enough. That's why Nintendo was still able to sell Tears of the Kingdom for $60.
PS5 certainly has better exclusives than xbox.
True - I think I meant to refer to it more as a generational issue; many people haven't upgraded to either current-gen console yet because they don't technically need them. PS5 might have few exclusives, but Xbox has basically none. (Many of their heavy-hitters like Sea of Thieves still run on Xbox One)
I think people give too much importance to such things.
I’m not saying 60fps isn’t nice, but it ain’t the most important thing and I feel like drawing distance or stuff like this are more distracting.
For me it’s crazy to still have racing games where shadows or trees are still appearing too late or where things are just abnormally disappearing in the rear view mirror.
I generally agree, but it should still be trivially easy to ship the game with at least two options, as most ps5 games do. one high fidelity at 30fps and one high performance at ~60fps.
30FPS gaming should be illegal in 2024
It's playable and you can enjoy the game, but 30FPS is embarrassing. It makes me feel like I'm a kid playing on a PC assembled out of old leftover components. Which was tolerable when I was a cashless kid playing pirated games on inherited frankenPCs, but it feels so wrong when playing a bought game on its intended spec hardware.
UE5, surprise surprise.
