Point is it's 2022 and the game clearly doesn't look current gen exclusive. This is just laziness.
Hmm... XSS is holding this gen back? Who would have thought it would come this early
In all seriousness, it could be true considering some devs also thought it was a bit challenging to work with the XSS. Remedy comes to mind saying how it's not just putting some settings on low and lowering resolution to call it a day, and also 4A games who complained about the memory issue with the XSS. These are AAA devs too. Maybe they are just having trouble optimizing for so many platforms and say screw it, take out the 60fps mode to save time and resources.
Actually it's the PC holding these consoles back IF the game runs on a HDD...Hmm... XSS is holding this gen back? Who would have thought it would come this early

It will as long as they support HDD, people will use them unless devs start mandating SSD's be part of the minimum specs to run a game.
It’s cos Batman is dead that they lost the 30fps/will
So I guess the frame rate on the OG X1 was 5, 10 on PS4, 15 on PS4 Pro and 20 on the 1X.
The dev said it, I'm just repeating it.
It's kind of funny though because PC is actually the only place to play it at above 30 FPS at launch
That's optimization for older tech(PC)The dev said it, I'm just repeating it.

Nah I think it's just more powerful hardware pushing higher FPS through brute power.
If it was optimized, wouldn't need such a beefy rig for minimum spec IMO. It's not like this is a looker by any means. Still looks cross gen.
These consoles are designed to use tech of the SSD's to make games in different ways.
Supporting PC with HDD's still being supported cannot get the most out of the new approach.
Sony has this problem with some of its exclusives and its why most look like PS4 Pro games. ie Gow R,Horizon,GT7 etc.
The irony here is hey could have made this game on PS3 and it still isn't a valid excuse for this.
I feel kind of bad for the devs on this one, people keep calling them lazy on twitter (have also seen some idiots blaming PS5 for holding XSX back lol) I'm sure they've all worked their asses off, It's probably lack of experience, bad direction or not enough budget and maybe all three of those things and more. I really think this game should have been cancelled, they'd have been better off using their resources on another DC property.
Sadly it spent the vast majority of its dev time as a cross-gen game.
They were probably spread thin working on seven (technically/really eight) consoles.
Agreed. Sadly, unless you see current gen console only exclusives, you won't be able to see these improvements. And it looks like the trend is to incorporate PC one way or another for most games.
5 times out of 10 it is a crappy engine at fault. Destiny, Halo Infinite (apparently), Dying Light 2, Cyberpunk 2077, etc. All had engines that were poor in one way or another.
Given how they cancelled the last gen versions and no console has 60hz mode, I'd say their engine isn't great at scaling.
Yup. Clearly a last gen engine and they could only do 30 fps.
Meanwhile at Insomniac
Isn't Spiderman 2 rumoured to be coop too?

Their excuse is the 100% untethered co-op. Are there any 100% untethered co-op games? I can't think of any.
30fps is "understandable" if the game looks like Picasso. But come on, if people said its a Ps4 game, most will not doubt it.
Funny how so many suddenly turned on it after 30fps.
Wasn't seeing too many looks complaints before that.

We’ve already seen plenty of better looking games that were crossgen and had 60 FPS modes on Series X and PS5.
