Deff getting the PS5 version, looking to get immersed in the ambient exploration vibes

Personally going 4k/30 for sure

1080/60? That's a bit too much compromise, don't see why 1440/60 isn't possible, but guess we'll see at launch

I'm assuming the person who asked is from Japan based on the tweet and the fact they didn't list Xbox specs

I'd be surprised if PS4 Pro ran differently than base PS4 considering Forces didn't have any differences despite advertising Pro support.

If I end up getting the game, I'll probably just go for the 1080p/60 mode on PS5. 1440/60 would've been nice, though.

It's from TGS. I bet the SEGA reps don't know XBOX exist. Only 4K/30 fps for PS5 is hard to believe though. That's kinda not great unless there's RT or something.

4k30 modes are pretty common, but the 60fps mode is usually at least 1440p or 1620p or something along those lines. 1080p is what Guardians of the Galaxy had for its performance mode and it was rough. I'll wait to see if there's something more to it.

I'd be surprised if the PS4 wasn't the lead platform for this game so unless visuals are significantly improved for on the PS5 version, I still think it's weird it can't reach 4k60fps. With that said, I don't really care because I only have a 1080p tv but it's not a good look.

Yeah even weirder that to get 60 the resolution drops a ton

Maybe they put the bulk of their effort optimizing the Switch version considering it's what'll sell most. To be honest, what worries most is the pop-in. While a lot of issues have shown to be fixed/improved in the recent footage, pop-in has remained. I'm starting to doubt they'll fix it.

Welp, PC it is then.

Im not loving the idea of playing this at 1080p if I can help it.

1080p on PS5 is lame but the resolutions honestly the least of my concerns when it comes to this game lol

Ps5 is 6X the power of ps4
But the only difference is 30 fps and 60 fps when they are both played at 1080p

I don't think this game is releasing on Xbox in Japan.

Also, I'm incredulous as to the PS5 performance res. I think in lieu of saying "sub-4k," or even "2k," it's easier to categorize it as "HD" (even though the PS5 recently supports 2k - maybe too recently to update their spokes lingo?). But that's a suspicion based on nothing.

I'm just gonna guess the 4k30 is a locked 4k and performance is drs with a topline res below 4k and at 60fps.

Makes me wonder, will the og X1 run it at 720p30 as well? These numbers don't add up. A game running at 720p30 on switch should be able to run at 720p60 on ps4/x1 no ?

30fps on PS4 is a joke if true, particularly if that includes Pro. I'm not terribly optimistic or even very interested in this game, but Switch and PS4 Pro are my dedicated consoles. If neither can run this at 60 this will be a very hard pass.

Weird to me that the PS5 can't run something at 4k/60 that a 2016 handheld can run at 720/30. I feel like that should be a pretty easy hurdle to clear for the PS5 but I guess I'm wrong.

This game doesn't look remotely good enough to only muster 60fps at standard HD resoutions on a PS5.

I don't think this is right tbh. 720p/30 for Switch handheld, for a game like this, does not sound very likely. 1080p/60 for PS5 even less so.

1080p for 60 fps on PS5 isn't ideal but I'll happily take it if it means I get to play a smoother experience.

I'm not playing a game on Series X at 1080p, and i'm sure as fuck not playing an open world platformer running at 30fps, so a 1440p/60fps mode better be in the works.
