This whataboutism is senseless. Furthermore, TOTK doesn't get a pass at all. It's rightfully called out for the poor image quality and performance problems. The major difference is the fact that it's running on a 6 years old hybrid portable system, whereas FF XVI is running on a modern home console with an 8K label on the box.
Different expectations.
Please, this makes no sense whatsoever. Doesnt matter what ind hardware a game is running on, it's not like they are the same game. I get expectations are different, but again..its not like its the same game running on two different platforms.
The game can still be great, which it is. I'm really enjoying it.
Calling out its piss poor performance is ok as its reality and this is a thread about performance.
The 60fps mode shouldn't even exist.
If it upsets you and winds you up I would suggest you put the threads on ignore.
I have absolutely no qualms about calling out anything.I have done the very same thing myself or his game.
What I have an issue with is the extreme or exaggerated nature most people here tend to talk. It's so far removed that it becomes borderline misleading.
I have seen many games that look awful. FF16 in performance mode.. does not look awful.Its never even ever as bad as SWJS. Does it look softer when it drops to 720p? Is the extreme nature of its DRS a weird design choice? Absolutely. But to say it looks awful.. is not true. And is its performance in the 60fps mode all over the place? Yes, but even at that, you can see what they did. Its mostly stable in combat and messed up out of it. These are things I have said too. But to say... worst performing AAA game? Is also false.
And I would take this performance mode in this game, knowing it could at least get improved, than no performance mode at all. Its like people forget how messed up the performance mode was in HZFW, locked 60... but that was something that was almost unusable due to the high-frequency shimmering. And this is so why stuff like this gets to me, when a game comes without a performance mode, we get on their back, there are people, like me that would say stuff like hey I don't care, even if it's running at 1080p, give us a performance mode, then when they do.. people like you say it's the worst-performing game? At least they gave a performance mode. And that it has a astable 30fps mode, in addition to that, makes it a better built and performing game to me than any game that does not at least come with both modes.
And this irks me because the one place I usually hope to at least find objective and reasonable posters.. is in the tech threads.
I'll check out jedi survivors framerate now. Does it drop to 23 fps in the 60 fps mode?
This is a huge playstation exclusive. It's just poor performance.
Ok.. you are just spreading fud...
someone reading your post would assume that its dropping to 23fps in 60fps mode 50-80% of the time you pay it. Whereas this is a drop you may see once in a 15min bs fight.
But honestly I think you gave yourself away by calling this the worst-performing AAA game.
It seems like devs hit a wall with these consoles way sooner than i expected them too
That's not what this is about at all....
Some common sense can be used here.
All you have to do is ask a simple question, Are there games, running on this console, that look and perform better than this? If the answer to that is yes, then that tells you that the problem is not the console being tapped... it's the devs. And more importantly, its the time. It may be three years in, but people seem to not realize that what we are seeing now, are actually first-generation current-gen games.
