On reddit I saw that it was supposedly just 60fps in a 120hz container, but its seems like its actually 120fps lol.

120hz is such a lovely experience, even on narrative games. Heck, I'll even turn down settings on a turn based RPG to get closer to the magical 360fps on PC.

I'm sure the Series version will get a 120hz update as well.

This is the better fillarate on PS5. It is important for 2d game.



You might not think you'll run into graphics performance problems when making a 2D game. But if you have lots of overlapping sprites you may eat up your GPUs fill rate and not be able to hit 60fps, especially on low-end hardware. Unity has a tool to help with this, but it's hidden in plain sight.

I mean if the PS5 can handle it, which it can, why not? The game will feel and look significantly smoother.

I'm sure most posts in this thread are just light fun but I do always find it funny when people see no value in higher frame rates unless it benefits you skill-wise. Like, no matter what you're actually doing in a game, higher frame rates will always look and feel better. Moving your character will feel better, menus will feel better, camera pans will look smoother. If you can, you might as well.

It is obviously light fun, but that's mostly because Pentiment's moment to moment gameplay largely looks like this

The idea of 120fps and DualSense features are kinda funny to highlight you've gotta be honest.

Yeah, Pentiment is full of wide scrolling areas with beautiful artwork and seeing it glide by is joyous - especially if you are running around a lot wondering who to speak to.

Yeah I don't really get it either. Having more framerate and resolution options is good for consoles.

Should have added an option for Andreas to write in the PS3/Spiderman font... what a missed opportunity.

It's all about the haptics letting you really feel the scratching of quill on parchment as the dialog appears.

yeah its 120, and it actually feels pretty nice while you walk around and whole bg is scrolling.(similar to 120fps 2d platformers) and also at the gameplay to manuscript transitions
during manuscript screens it drops to 100ish though.

It's literally just jokes about the moment to moment gameplay being you watch someone write or slowly printing press their dialog. And the hand drawn animations being only a few frames per second anyways.

It's all in good fun, game is great.

Not complaining, but as someone who finished it twice on Series X, this feels like a moot addition to this kind of game. Like adding sugar to a jar of honey.
