I like how they always have stupid excuse when they can’t deliver 60fps, always. Because we all know how cool it is to have a super blurry image when you move the camera in a fps. Big L right there. Thank god it’s on GP
@Steel76 I just think its Sony money. This week some infos came out that it seems to be very well optimized on PS5 and comes with a 60fps mode. So that is really good news for console players.
@Tecinthehead No, they were all playing the pc version surely running on a 4090. I don’t think they’ve ever shown the console version yet. Red flag right there. Plus, two months before launch on PS5 and nobody is talking fps.
Weird choice but we see this all the time with movies. Plus, since it will be a short game I really don’t mind. If we were talking about 30+ hours game that would be more of a problem for me
We all remember when Ubisoft games had Deluxe editions for 10$ more the packs we get in the Ult.Ed. But without the season pass but at one point they took those and made them exclusive to the ultimate edition without any mean to buy them separately. Nobody should pay these stupid prices for skin packs.
Ah yes the “cinematic feeling” excuse. 30fps is not a choice, it’s a limitation. If it was really a choice they would cap the pc version at 30. This is preemptive damage control. Loved the first one so I’ll play it for sure but it’s a good thing it’s on gamepass
Nah, not enough new Ubi games in a year to pay for It monthly. But I played and finished Avatar and PoP in the same month using the service so it can be an amazing value in certain circumstances. 25$ Canadian (with taxes) for a month for the most expensive edition of each game VS +200$ for buying them both. Did the same for Mirage last year.
Hahaha this is pure pre-emptive damage control. I played the alpha and it sucked.
The good:
Great cutscenes, great voice acting, runs well at 60fps
And there is the rest:
Abilysmal melee combat, mind numbingly repetitive. Gameplay that just doesn’t fit the IP. Brain dead mission objectives “stay there, kill waves of enemies” and “shoot purple stuff”.
It’s a live service game any way you look at it.
Get ready for 15$ skin packs between shallow story dlc.
@GamingFan4Lyf uncompressed stereo, the problem is the game, period because I have zero delay during gameplay. Not alone in this. But some people can’t see the difference between 30 and 60fps so I guess some can’t “see” bad audio sync but it’s there and it’s not subtle. Anyway I’ll test it myself whenI get home but since people are already talking about it…
@GamingFan4Lyf it sure wasn’t. I started to play on that patch and it’s not. Every fmv and cinematics have it. There is no work around for that. Problem is at the source. Gameplay audio is in sync though
Edit: Well, there’s already a Reddit post saying it’s not fixed with this update.
None, I have zero interest in any of their franchises. When MS bought Besthesda on the other hand, it had a much bigger impact for me as a gamer. Beside gamepass it’s THE reason why I bought a XsX.
@SAHgamer yes your eyes get use to it (I played Andromeda for the first time 6 months ago) but even at 30fps I doubt it will be locked. Todd said that the framerate (when unlocked) in testing could go over 30 most of the time and even sometimes 60 (In space I guess). If true they could have at least put a 40fps/vrr mode with an unlocked framerate like Hogwarts Legacy did. We’ll see tomorrow with the reviews I guess
There will be a mid-gen xbox. They just can’t talk about it a year in advance because it could slow down the sales of the series x/s since some people would wait for the new one.
No because I’m a cheap ***** and retail games are on sales much more often than digital. A game like Sekiro still being full price is insane. Got it for 10$ “lused on disc.

I’ll wait for the “next-gen” patch for PS5 and Series X/S before playing them, I just hope it will come out before the sequel arrive.
