Gotham Knights on consoles will run at 30 FPS with no performance/quality mode option
- Thread starter Kawngi
- Start date
The Life is Strange: True Color devs said the exact same things as these guys.
Then like a week or two later they "somehow" flipped the magic switch and got the game to run at 60fps 🤣
I guess I will revisit this game soon when they drop the announcement that the "impossible" performance mode suddenly became possible.
Yup. Wish we could see those versions, if they can only get 30fps on PS5 and XS I can only imagine what a shit show it would have been on 9 year old consoles.

I always try to give developers the benefit of the doubt but I just don't buy their reasoning. Perhaps it's true in a "we didn't have enough time to implement it" fashion but on its own? That doesn't hold up at all.
And to have this be announced a week before release? Very bad look.
Absolutely not. Gotham Knights is definitely not representative of a "turning point of the generation." I guarantee you that Suicide Squad will have a 60fps option.

don't forget guys, you can't play at 60 due to it being difficult to run for the consoles
but you can at 1080p/60 albeit with Low settings on a 1660ti
not sure which of those 2 I believe honestly
I just wish there was some sort of really intensive graphic setting that they could turn off or something and see how it runs then

I expect WB Montreal to be closed or just become a support studio after this game. Unfortunately, I have no confidence this game will meet the expectations of WB.
Oh I'm sure they could adjust the graphical settings on the console versions to hit 60fps (even if it means dumping RT). It just seems like they don't want to.
If this game and Justice League don't do well it honestly wouldn't surprise me if WB Games gets put up for sale.
Wait, HOLD UP.
They said it is because of stuff like "Un-tethered" co-op play?
HOW THE HELL DOES THAT AFFECT ME IF I AM PLAYING SOLO?!!??!?!?!
Someone please explain this to me.

I'm not going to claim to know what the fuck I'm talking and I'm sure they've probably tried it but man I'm just disappointed
especially since they say due to untethered coop it's not possible but like I'm going to be paying by myself so....?
How tf is this game so CPU bound? I could get something with a lot of simulation like GTA VI or Starfield, but this?
Sadly no, they were being noticeably cagey about whether there was a performance mode, and a preview of what the settings looked like for the game on consoles didn't seem to indicate that there was one, so people put 2 and 2 together and figured there likely wasn't one. And now as of today, that was officially confirmed a mere week before launch. :3
I thought we were past this shit.
Give us performance and quality mode. It can't be that hard to lower the preset resolution so we can play it at 60 fps.

What backlash? It was just confirmed and the public at large outside of forums don't care about these things.After this backlash??
Game will probably underperform for many other reasons. Lack of 60fps won't be one of them.
Yeah I could see that possibly.
I keep forgetting they merged with Discovery lol. 😔
also ps5 cpu is better than a 3600, you're likely looking at comparable to a 3700 for the ps5 which has an extra 2c/4t, albeit some are reserved for OS etc
but it should be fine running at 60fps especially since it's optimized specifically for that part.
its not like PC where it could be any number of parts, you know exactly what you need to be drawing as much power as possible from
the reason people are confused is because it doesn't look like a visual jump, hence why many expected it to have a 60fps mode
This is pretty weak. Modern game coming out on PS5 and XSX should have appropriate performance modes with res scaling. This screams not enough budget to me.
Frankly unacceptable. But going by those PC requirements there is a problem with the engine/optimization clearly.
It's Unreal Engine, so not an engine problem
It's a problem with optimization
People are going to have a reality check very soon about the next gen consoles. The 1440P 60 fps mode of the Last of Us remake had 4x af at most
I am honestly curious how this will perform on PC.
Imagine how this will run on the Steam Deck lol.
I will die of laughter if it turns out to be the most optimized perfect PC port ever 🤣
huh. I never even considered this a possibility for some reason, just assumed it would follow the model of every other game that's released in the past 2 years. I certainly didn't expect this game of all games to break that mold, considering it already doesn't look great. Honestly I was already going to skip it because, well, everything... but this just makes me want to... extra skip it.
For sure. I'm sure the next next gen only new Naughty Dog title will push visuals and go for 30. The writing was on the wall after the Matrix demo.
Seriously, though. The game doesn't even have any peds or NPC cars going about their day in the city, from what I've seen.
It's a $70 game that doesn't look nearly good enough to justify only having a 30 fps option. And that this is coming out after the announcement of the old gen versions getting canned is just kinda hilarious
"Not as simple as lowering resolution for higher framerates"
Watch people with the PC version show this to be utter PR nonsense in order to push Ray Tracing on console. Hopefully like one of the only other console games to target 30fps with RT (Watch Dogs Legion) there will be a performance mode patched in later.
They should just be real and say "a performance mode requires more time to optimise so it will take longer". Most sane people wouldn't have an issue with that.
it does, just not a lot, but there are cars and peds walking about in some areas of Gotham
again just not a lot though
This is a $70 game on consoles. On PC, it's $60, and it's the only platform to possibly give you 60fps. It's nuts.
The only thing I can think of is their drop in/drop out coop really is rendering all objects and enemies in an area on both systems EVEN IF THEY ARENT in the same part of the city. That's it. That's my explanation.
It's bullshit, I know.
Fwiw, gtav does not have as much interactivity in it's open world. In coop mode missions it does, but you'll probably notice a lack of pedestrians and cars (especially outside the mission area) in coop missions online. This is probably why. A sacrifice was made there. And if you leave the mission area? We all know what happens "return to the mission area" right?
Exploding barrels, shots fired, traffic. Pedestrians (non-hostile), enemies, etc... It can wear out a CPU. It's hard to have all of those calculations going off at multiples around the city. So they often make all coop players stick to the same area in GTA online coop. Even if you can leave the area, there isn't much to see. This is not the case in Gotham knights so I hear. Something had to give, and the frame rate is what they chose to give up.
My two cents anyways *shrugs*.
It's probably because of the native 4k with ray tracing, maybe they'll fix it with a patch, but going forward people should expect the 30fps as the norm if they want aaa games with mind blowing graphics.
Standards have changed
This game feels like something from before 2016
