Despite Namco officially saying that the game has a 30 FPS lock on last gen, if you use the PS4 disc on your PS5, it locks to 60 FPS on PS4 Pro equivalent resolution / visual settings.

From strikes again.

 

[mrcroket]

Man from software make great games but they really don't know/care how to optimize or even adjust settings.... Elder ring is the same shit...

 

[RoadHazard]

Lol, fucking From. So incompetent.

 

[Puscifer]

kek

 

[Fbh]

From the videos I've seen the regular Ps5 version seems to mostly stay in the 55-60fps range though, which should look fine with VRR.
It's not like Elden Ring where it's constantly dropping to the mid 40's.

But I guess it's still good to have the option

 

[LectureMaster]

The Elden Ring situation once again.

Or maybe next-gen consoles can't run the game at 4k60fps.

It is same engine....so situation is same

The difference is that the last gen versions have a cap at 30 FPS, they don't run unlocked. So the game actively knows its on a PS5 and runs a bespoke 60 FPS mode. ER was unlocked on all consoles.

From's games are always unlocked for PS4 Pro version, DS3, Sekiro, Elden Ring, and now AC6.

NXG only covered the base console versions in his video, he said that those have a 30 FPS lock, maybe the midgen ones are unlocked.

 

[lh032]

hmm but with lower resolution and visual quality. i think i still prefer the ps5 ver since im ok with ER PS5 ver anyway

 

[mrcroket]

Who said anything about native 4k?

 

[Danjin44]

Another FROM games comes and once again people crying over difficulty and graphics.

 

[Portugeezer]

That's pretty bad.

Luckily I don't care about this game.

 

[Luigi Mario]

Another FROM games comes and once again with people crying over difficulty and over graphics.

You do understand that this is about performance and not about graphical fidelity.

 

[proandrad]

Great option for those without a VRR screen or those who want to enable bfi with a perfect 60fps.

 

[Fbh]

Another FROM games comes and once again with people crying over difficulty and over graphics.

Its about performance more than graphics. And in a fast paced game it can directly affect gameplay.

But people are exaggerating way too much. From every video I've seen the game seems to run at like 55-60fps most of the time (outside cutscenes)
Some comments here make it sound like it's running at 35 fps on ps5

 

[baphomet]

Typical From incompetence.

I’m currently playing the game and it’s pretty damn solid when it comes to performance, more than any other FROM’s pervious games.

Definitely the best performing FROM game so far.
Also the 55-60fps range won't bother most people, I'd argue those with a VRR screen won't even notice

 

[Die Namek Ability]

I have been playing it maxed out on PC and i honestly dont see why the consoles can lock this to 60. It looks decent but the textures of the environments seem very mid. Its probably that compiler or lack there of once again.

 

[Barakov]

Got the PS5 version. Shit sucks. Still looking forward to diving into it later.

 

[Mythoclast]

I was planning to buy the game tomorrow for PS5, sounds like PS4 is the way to go? But aren’t you sacrificing some next gen image quality and resolution for the strictly stable 60 fps?

I don’t really care if the game goes between 55 and 60 cause I have a VRR TV.

If you buy the PS4 disc, you can download the PS5 version as well for free, so you have both options.

With VRR it should be great. But for non VRR tv owners PS4 version will be better.

 

[ArtHands]

Yah its dipping into 30fps territory on PS5.

When I complete some of my games I'll buy it on Steam with 120fps

 

[Neff]

Every game needs lower resolution 60fps

Tired of this shit

 

[Tsaki]

It does have performance mode and it stays to 60 most of time with drops to mid 50s.

This is with 4K output. The performance mode seems pretty performant, definitely better than ER. Having the option to play the PS4 Pro build doesn't hurt I guess.
Do From games even have unlocked framerate past 60? I remember this being a complaint with Elden Ring or something.

 

[VeganElduderino]

this is the same as 2020 , everything is getting more retarded!

 

[Beer Baelly]

Im playing 120hz VRR on Xbox

 

[DenchDeckard]

One option...PC!

From have nailed the pc version of this game.

 

[digdug2]

It's pretty disappointing that 2 From Soft games in a row run better via backward compatibility than they do in their current gen forms. You'd think that with all that Elden Ring money that they would hire at least one or two optimization wizards.

Like Beer Baelly , I'm playing on Xbox with VRR, so I haven't encountered any slowdown, frame pacing issues, etc. though.

 

[rofif]

But ps5 version is smooth

 

[POKEYCLYDE]

Haven't noticed anything on the XSX. But I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't see anything wrong with 30fps.

 

[SABRE220]

Yeah fk that no excuses, this is plain lazy incompetence. They legit dont give a shit because they will never be called out by anyone since they are a media/player darling. Its been 2 years and they didnt even bother to fix the most basic easy shit in their engine and launched a second game in the exact same state.

They need to be called out for this shit or we will get this for the whole generation.

Yes it's almost always in the VRR range (>48fps) during gameplay (performance mode, quality mode is native 4K). But playing the PS4 version could be interesting with people not having VRR TVs.

 

[Skifi28]

Hate me if you will, but thank god for cross-gen. In this case and many others.

 

[chaseroni]

After playing exclusively the PS4 Pro version on PS5 I can tell you that it is NOT locked to 60 that way.

Frequent dips during big fights...

I guess it's possible my launch PS5 is having issues but I doubt it.

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

lmao from. they went from being first to do high end 3d stuff in the ps1/ps2 era to being one of the least able to do basic stuff properly in current era

 

[adamsapple]

Haven't noticed anything on the XSX. But I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't see anything wrong with 30fps.

Most of the drops on PS5/SX are within VRR range, so if you're playing on a VRR display, that's likely helping out.

 

[Stuart360]

It doesnt matter to me as i'm on PC but really console games should always come with an 'unlocked' mode, if only for the fact you will be able to play the games at 60+fps on the nexct batch of consoles.
