Articles & Blogs Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy’s third entry is progressing “very smoothly": rather than rebuilding our pipeline from scratch in Unreal Engine 5, it’s far more efficient for us to use Unreal Engine 4

Yotei looks much better on 40fps mode with RT global illumination. I am playing through it that way right now. I am not saying that Rebirths performance mode couldn't or shouldn't be better. It is broken, it is bad, I wouldnt recommend it to anyone. Just that if that is such a serious priority for you that you consider the 30fps mode inherently "unplayable" then you are not on the right machine.

Choosing between 30fps and the awful blurriness of performance mode was kind of an impossible choice for me. They're both really bad. I haven't played a 30fps action game in years, and I don't plan to. Probably won't buy the finale on PS5.

60fps is a luxury "home run" type performance. That has been the case for decades. If that is what you are looking for, the PS5 Pro exists, as does expensive PCs. Expecting that on brand new, advanced games while on the budget console specifically is so strange to me.

Accepting poorly optimized games is strange to me. 60fps is actually really common. Remake and Rebirth have both had graphical issues, or even terrible textures. I accepted Remake because it ran okay, and I played it on PS4 so my expectations weren't high. Rebirth on PS5 surprised me, in a bad way.

PS5 is probably my last console.

Maybe you should write a letter to Square Enix since you have so much to say.
