Official Thread Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 (Xbox SX/PC) May 21, 2024

Bit lost in all this is Tameem has left NT



Working on something VR which is a bit pointless if you work for MS...
 
I have to say, I know that @menace-uk- is very particular and has very strong opinions. If he is happy with his Series S, to me that means the Series S is a pretty good console.

An option to set a performance mode to get 60fps at the expense of visuals. 30fps is fine for a turn based game like BG3, but for a game with combat that involves timing, 30fps just doesn't feel right. Heck, I don't care if it runs at low res or whatever needs to happen.

I know I'm in the minority when it comes to 30fps, but I know I'm not the only one who it is a show stopper for either.
Check out the feedback for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The performance mode is ugly as hell and no one likes it.

Hellblade 2 is better off not having an ugly mode option.

The IQ was really bad before the patch that added the sharp performance mode, I used to play it on Fidelity because of this. Now I prefer the sharp performance over fidelity because of how good the combat feels in 60 fps and they improved in the IQ department too.

There are plenty of games that have very good-looking performance modes lol.

Nobody that really likes performance mode complains about it. I mean, I know I'm turning down the visuals on purpose. Complaining about how it looks isn't fair. Most games honestly look fine in perf mode. In the latest God Of War I doubt I could tell the difference. I'm sure if I took side by side shots I would see it, but playing is fine.

Some people don't get bothered by the 30fps, well, I don't get bothered by a little resolution and quality downgrade. I'd much rather have smooth combat, especially for games that have timing involved.

I assume the team behind Hellblade 2 don't want their game to look like butt in 60fps mode. It's their game, their vision. People can choose to buy it or choose not to buy it. But they shouldn't change their vision.

If gamers want the best possible performance for PS and Xbox games, get a PC. If gamers don't like a developers vision for a game, don't buy games from that developer.

It remains to be seen if they will add a 60 fps mode or not like Redfall or stay 30 fps like Starfield.

Once we see the PC specs, we will know and can gauge if it's possible or not.

Redfall added 60fps because that was their intent, to have the game available at 60fps. Starfield won't get 30fps, because their vision was at 30fps on console to retain their vision.

So console vision and PC vision are different even though they are the same game?

Might as well cap on PC too if that is what they want 😛

On console, they would have to REDUCE their graphical vision in order to obtain 60fps. They didn't want to reduce their vision of the graphics. With PC, they are able to do 60fps AND keep their graphical vision (and improve their graphical vision).

Essentially, they didn't want their game to look like Rise of the Ronin to get it to run at 60fps on console.

Hmm I guess the PC recommended specs will be telling. I have a theory but we will see.
