30 fps lock on consoles?

[Lois Griffin]

Thank god I play on pc

[ZDuB]

absolutely ridiculous...

[Cyber Moduled]

Console architecture is getting so similar to PC hardware at this point that if it has a lock like that on consoles, chances are good that it's going to run like ass on PC too.

I mean this is Arkane. If you were there for Dishonored 2 or Deathloop's launch, this isn't a surprise at all.

If they can't be arsed to optimise it for singular config on a console, imagine how "good" the quality of PC optimisation is going to be, where you have multiple configs to consider.

This game will run like ♥♥♥♥ on PC no matter what you throw at it. I expect 4080s and 4090s to be STRUGGLING to get 60 fps with huge CPU bottlenecks.

when I bought a ps5 for TLOU1 I was shocked that to this day in age, there were FPS caps, No graphical options to change, and odd keybindings that couldn't be changed I'm convinced consoles are still in the stone age after that. I'm so used to the pc QoL

[Mewsha]

A lot of people make pointless criticisms but I think one this game can't escape is that it seems unoptimized based on the PC requirements alone.

The minimum requirements are quite high, but visually the game does not look like something that is launching in the 2023/2024 era. It looks at least 4 years older than it is, and I don't think that's bad, but the requirements should reflect that. The open world doesn't seem to be particularly big, and it's sectioned off, so again, why are the minimum requirements so high?

I do agree with the above poster that it signals there's going to be issues with FPS on PC as well as bottlenecking happening.

For consoles, I mean it's another L for Xbox. 60 FPS should be the standard, and if they continue to have games that struggle to reach that, then it doesn't matter how great things like Game Pass are.

I'm also wondering if this signals that Redfall is Bethesda's sacrificial lamb. They seem to be testing the waters here to see if 30 FPS is still viable to launch with as Starfield comes out at the end of the summer, and anyone would tell them that it's absolutely not, especially when games are starting to cost $70 for the base game and nothing else.

I very much doubt their optimization is any better for PC. Remember they shamelessly released an outright broken game back with Dishonored 2 and Deathloop's release was only slightly better than that one.

[.:k1z4cz3k:.]

It will work like trash on PC too.
Arkane isn't good at optimizing their games. Just look how Dishonored 2 or Deathloop worked day one.
The only good PC version they've done was Prey.

[Pekmez Pita]

That means the performance is going to be trash on PC too.

This, quite obviously, is another incomplete and rushed "AAA" title with all kind of red flags already popping off around it.

And given how poorly they have handled Deathloop's release? Yeah. They won't be fixing any of its ♥♥♥♥ if it sells poorly.

The reason it has to run like that is because the consoles want everything to be in 4k (Dynamic.) resolution. So they have to cut corners somewhere, in this case it was the FPS. Me? I run in 1440p and won't have any issues getting 60+ with this game. In short, the hardware isn't the problem, it's the unrealistic settings for the hardware that is.

Gonna run like ass

[Seoul]

so if series x only can run it on 30fps the performance on pc will also be sheet

It says at launch, not forever. Sounds like they're trying to optimize a single mode then the 60 FPS mode will come after.

I see no reason to think it won't run fine on PC.

[Scorpix]

So they should delay it till they will improve it and add 60 FPS mode.
With each info this game looks worse instead of better.

Modern AAA gaming is a travesty whether you game on pc or a console, both platforms have their own separate issues

This will probably be another trash stutterfest Vram gobbling, shader compiling crash simulator on launch that will run like garbage on the latest overpriced nvidia gpus

Let’s not pretend we have it good on pc either
