>Released yesterday on the PlayStation 4, the free demo for Team Ninja's long in development Dark Souls - alike features an option that allows players to select which is more important to them: graphics or a stable frame rate.
>Before loading the game, players can choose either movie mode, focused on looking as pretty as possible or action mode, sacrificing graphical fidelity in favor of maintaining a steady frame rate.
>The difference between the two is substantial. Movie mode's frame rate is definitely not consistent. It's low and occasionally stutters. Action mode is fluid and fast but looks like a game from 2002.
Now that consoles have graphics setting options, what reason is there to buy an expensive and complex PC?

CONSOLE KIDDIES ON SUICIDE WATCH
I like to have both and I'm willing to drop the dosh for both.
>>335711062
Man this game looks like a garbage amalgamation of the last handful of popular games. When are people gonna start calling this Witcher Souls?
>>335711062
THIS IS FOR THE PLAYERS
playstation did it again guys :)

uh
the fucking fuck is this
>sony winning
what else is new
>>335711546
It does not play like Witcher nor Souls though
First Bloodborne now Nioh, it's not fucking fair Sony ponies get all the good games
>>335711671
haha you must be a sonycuck
Neither of those games are good
>>335711062

haha who's jealous
PC has way better games
>>335711062
I'm very happy with this approach - even though I don't think the game looks good in either case, nor am I very interested in the game.

Leave it to Team Ninja to do handle this debate correctly.
>>335711062
Yeah, because you can have fucking both options on the fucking Pc you fucking fisherman,
10/10 quality bait.
>>335711062
I'd rather have better framerates and graphics.
>>335711806
They are great games in my opinon
Im sick of sony fans endlessly shilling them and not being able to take criticism but they are good
Far from perfect and I dont even think they are the best souls games ( unlike the sonycucks) but your just acting like a fanboy

This isn't anything new, even PC fags have to choose. Either high settings and bad for or low settings and high fps but apparently it's only bad if Sony does it

Sonycucks on ultimate damage control
"smooth framerate" you fucking wish. even in action mode that shit dropped to a crawl while looking like a handheld game
I love how these threads are always just two sides false-flagging against eachother
it's like some kind of spectator sport
these threads are the best.
>>335711062
thats not how games looked in 2002
>>335713101
As I said im sick of the endless shilling of the ps4 I mostly play on pc im just saying that you are acting just as bad as sony cucks when you call those 2 games shit with no actual criticisms
Console plebs still don't understand what is pc gaming
Isn't about choose between graphics or framerate, is about having both in the same system.
>>335711062
>Action mode is fluid and fast but looks like a game from 2002.
Did people forget what most of the games in 2002 looked like? This is more like Demon's Souls if anything.

>>335713942
Action mode = 24 fps that drops down to 12 sometimes
Movie mode = 18 fps that drops down to 7 sometimes
>>335713271
no joke. I want them to start with the erp
A console will always have to compromise on something. Better FPS or better resolution. A PC, with the correct hardware, can have both.
>>335713942
action = 60 fps with drops to 45
dont try movie mode because only faggots use that
>>335711062
>Now that consoles have graphics setting options
FOR THE PLAYAS, WE DID IT BOYS!!!
>>335711062
>what reason is there to buy an expensive and complex PC?
Because You can have graphic AND the good framerate at the SAME time.
>>335711062
why would they need to change graphics even lower than that
it looks like something an xbox 360 would run flawlessly
>>335714062
Nioh has bloodstains, dude, and similar layouts and aesthetics.
The devs are not shy about their appreciation for the Souls games here. I don't see why people have to be fags about this. It doesn't make the game bad.
>>335711062
So you can have both good framerate and good graphics, retard.
Plus mods, free online, hardware upgrades and peripheral choice.

PC doesn't have good games outside of RTS which suck on console anyway.
This post will go completely un-noticed but Bioshock for the 360 (probably also PS3 but can't confirm personally) also had an option to unlock the framerate, 9 years ago
I always wondered when this would happen on consoles
>>335715664
I see your post
>>335715664
>9 years ago
That makes sense. If anything, games have been going backwards for some time now.
>>335711062
Isn't this what will happen with post-neoPS4 games on regular PS4? Players will be given graphical setting to adjust.
>>335711062
>now that consoles have graphics setting options

Nigger there were consoles games with that shit far before this game already
Didn't Bioshack had a Vsync on off option?

>movie mode barely looks better than action mode

mind you, I'm still surprised this sort of thing wasn't already more commonplace
last time I remember seeing things like this on console were polygonal games on the Genesis (eg, Kawasaki Superbike Challenge has a Turbo mode that gets 2x the framerate, but adjusts the FOV so it doesn't have to draw things as large, there was also a flight sim on the machine that had slightly adjustable graphics in the settings)
>>335711062
>Now that consoles have graphics setting options, what reason is there to buy an expensive and complex PC?

I can definitely see on the video why they'd say that. That's pretty pathetic of consoles. I hope the PS4.5 means Movie Mode is going to have stable FPS. Still though, gameplay looks absolutely fantastic, would rather play this on a PS4 with 2002 graphics than another fucking Souls: Roll Sim, despite it looking better.

I fucking love Onimusha, this plays nothing like Onimusha. No tank controls, no auto targeting, no fixed camera, no high profile asian movie star. It's setting is very Onimusha like but not it's gameplay.

Here's something a Soulsdrone like you may find shocking: Dark Souls did not invent those elements. Hard to believe, I know.
>>335716925
Bloodstains, m8
>>335716925
>>335717240
It definitely has its similarities but it feels pretty different because of the stances and the skills you can learn. However the combat is pretty boring once you realize the spear is amazing, especially the high stance.
>>335711062
I can't see any difference in graphics nor in framerate in that video
>>335712169
>B-but Bloodborne!
Literally all you have and I haven't played any of the Souls games so some people might give a shit but I certainly don't. Enjoy your shitty console.
>>335717390
It's not about inventing those systems, it's about using them all in one game. Denying the Souls influence is delusional.
>>335717390
I am fascinated to learn what game did Bloodstains before Demon's Souls.
Like, genuinely. I'm not that guy. I'd probably play it.
>>335717390
Name another game that has bloodstains, a soul system where you can retrieve them on death, the same type of leveling up (hp, stamina, weight, str/dex/magic/etc), equipment load affecting your dodge, a shrine/bonfire that refills your hp, and so on.
>>335711363
yeah, says the faggot who loves undertale
>>335717390
You have to be either extremely delusional or trolling. No one can look at that footage and say it's not directly taking from souls games.
>>335717390
It has literally the same UI and control scheme
Like, how do they not get sued
>>335717635
>a soul system where you can retrieve them on death
You can't POSSIBLY believe that retrieving your currency from your death site after respawning was invented by Dark Souls.

>>335716724

>>335717870

>>335711062
Makes you realize just how weak the PS4 really is compared to a PC. Those graphics are already bad in the 30fps mode and then when they switch to 60fps they're downright PS2 level.
>>335717870
Nioh uses a system where you see other player's bloodstains like Souls.
>>335718519
Neoplaystation will fix that
>>335718519

Not really. It definitely doesn't look like a 2016 game, but it's not ugly. Not that graphics even matter out of shitposting.
>>335718740
No it won't, you're fucking delusional.
>>335718834

>>335720914
Doesn't matter just because souls was lazy and cobbled shit from other games into one doesn't mean it invented those systems. Nor does it make it unique, in fact it points the opposite.
>>335711062
Actually, I can't see much of a difference from Movie to Action...
>>335720837
It was also $20-30 cheaper in every part of the world that isn't the U.S.

No seriously though, this is great. If this became standard consoles would become slightly less shitty.
