Absolutely bizarre that a 1st party title doesn’t seem optimized for the console they’re developing for. This makes me skeptical the PC version will be optimized too.

    That was an option on console for most of the generation so far: Performance Mode vs. Quality Mode. But that’s mostly because nearly every game released so far has been a hastily ported last-gen title. It feels like this gen has really just barely started.

    Single-player console games being 30fps is not new by any stretch. That’s basically what consoles do. And they’ve managed pretty well with it so far. If you want to spend 2-3x more on a beefy PC, you can get all the frames you want. More power to you.

    20 years ago… Skyrim, Fallout, The Last of Us 1, GTA4-5 on PS3/360 gen. 30fps.

    10 years ago… God of War, Gears of War single-player, Fallout 4, The Last of Us 2 on PS4/XBoxOne gen. Also 30fps.

      Yeah I know, that’s why I never really got into console gaming unfortunately. As I said elsewhere, I genuinely have trouble making out objects while looking around in first-person games, if it’s running at 30fps.

      Didn’t know about the current gen having performance settings, that’s pretty neat. Might actually consider getting one if I can actually run games at a reasonable framerate on them with a lower quality setting.
