With exact swordplay at the centre of the RPG’s fight methods, each body can rely in the case of life or dying, so it’s considerably shocking to see Dawnwalker not hitting 60fps when so many console video games obtain this, particularly on the highly effective PS5 Pro.
Whether or not that is one thing that may be patched after launch is but unknown, however it’s actually thrown an sudden wrench into the combo simply weeks earlier than launch for some gamers.
The Blood of Dawnwalker isn’t the one sport persons are speaking about in regard to framerate, with the most important sport of the yr, if not decade, GTA 6, additionally at the centre of a 60fps dialog. Maybe we’ll discover out extra about this from Rockstar subsequent week in the course of the Prolonged Look debuting on Netflix. That may actually distract from the current spate of leaks hitting the sport.
