They already are. Ratchet is targeting 30fps but then offering a 60fps lower res/graphics settings option. And I'd predict that'll be the standard once next gen hits its stride. It won't be a repeat of last gen where the CPU was a bottleneck for 60fps regardless of resolution and graphics settings, so there can always be a 60fps option even if it drops to 1080p. 120fps fans may be disappointed though.
Thats bound to happen once games are out of the cross gen phase.
The problem with that analysis is that it'll always be skewed heavily towards whatever is the default option. Vast majority of people won't bother to go in to settings to change the graphics setting. Your average console player simply doesn't care. We're in a bubble :)
Due to the nature of the game, they were never going to target 60 on consoles.
Every youtube video I've seen of this shows a 3080 is required to get a locked 60 at 4k with Ultra settings. I don't think there's a system out there which can run this at 4k/120 on Ultra currently.
Blooper has a great art team, but their games have never been stellar examples of optimization.
I'm just glad they fixed the frame pacing for it on console at least. A rock solid 30 FPS is better than a game struggling in the 40's.
I'm gonna assume because you didn't mention the hitching/texture streaming issues on XSX that those will NOT be fixed.
The problem with this line of thinking is that if devs target 30fps (meaning they target 33.3ms budget per frame) they will push the cpu to take full advantage of this budget, else why bother, just target 60fps from the start.
It almost feels like an asset-rip at first, but I think the game does a good job of differentiating itself gameplay-wise as you continue through it (I know you were speaking about the UI specifically though). I think it has one of the worst 'opening' sections of a game like this, and I could see a lot of people quitting before it even gets going. It's also relatively short, which is good or bad depending on what your expectations are.
They'll "bother" because we've seen every generation that graphics take priority over framerate for marketing purposes (sadly, IMO).
I'm not worried, as I'd rather have more effects and visual candy than an extra 30fps. But that's me. I'll take better graphics at 30fps than 60fps with lesser visuals.
Lol you guys think too small. Ofcourse if the CPUs are this strong then devs will push them as hard as they can.
Don't get me wrong, I hope you're right, I'd love to see devs push boundaries like that. I'll just play the games at 60+ on PC regardless anyway (well those that get PC ports!)
It's a small team and development ressources are becoming a bigger limitation each generation as we speak. I think the developers did their best, especially during the pandemic. But there are issues that don't make sense.
Would be along wait and I agree with you.
Why did I knew someone is going there? Its sad for you but I am happy to confirm that control got fixed and this indie game and the world complexity don't look like those streaming issues are more than something in software that can be fixed. It's a indie game, so no disrespect to the developers, but there are way more complex games that don't have streaming issues on Xbox.
Are you implying that a cross gen game is in any way bottlenecked by xbox ssd speed?
