A Plague Tale Requiem Devs Say Leaving Last-Gen Has Allowed Them to Do Things Previously Impossible

Asobo Studio sheds a bit of details on development of A Plague Tale Requiem, and how the studio is benefiting from the newer consoles.

leahcim1065d ago

switch port: devs are still tied to the past, please be more honest.

ZeekQuattro1065d ago

Its a cloud version. Please play attention.

Tacoboto1065d ago

Considering Asobo's ties with MS I wonder if the cloud version will be running off Azure, or if MS has some secret fork of xCloud for clients like Google's transforming Stadia into

Snookies121065d ago (Edited 1065d ago )

@Tacoboto - If it's not using Azure. Then it's dead on arrival for Switch. These cloud ports are horrid. Don't understand why anyone would purchase them. The Kingdom Hearts collection on Switch was just a travesty.

leahcim1065d ago

I eat my words... sorry its cloud version... thats great.

Aussiesummer1065d ago

Great to see it starting, the next gen is almost finally upon us.

CrimsonWing691065d ago

I mean, technically we’re already here…

Obscure_Observer1065d ago

"I mean, technically we’re already here…"

Apparently only us, the gamers and our next gen consoles.

CS71065d ago

Shocker.

Development in technology allows things to be done that was impossible on older technology.

*Gasp*

I have no idea how this even became a debatable opinion. Last gen games holds back nex-gen games. That’s an objective fact.

isarai1065d ago

It became debatable when MS announced they weren't making any next gen exclusives for at least 2 years. Then suddenly the natural progression of technology was a myth and you could run red dead redemption 2 on a ps1 if you just scale down some graphics sliders. 🤷‍♂️

CrimsonWing691065d ago

Is this some crazy concept to people now?

Nice... I just bought Evil West a couple months ago but never opened it. Now I won't have to. And i hear good things about Plague Tale.

crazyCoconuts534d ago

Plagues Tail Req is good. One of my favorite Dual Sense trigger effects on the slingshot.

--Onilink--534d ago

Nobody Saves the World is amazing too, SkillUp did a great review of it

Samonuske534d ago

On the same boat with evil west still have it unopened.

FinalFantasyFanatic533d ago (Edited 533d ago )

I already bought Evil West on PC just recently, I've owned Nobody Saves the World for a long time, I really loved the first Plague Tale game, I was waiting for it to hit $30 on Steam before I bought it.

Considering the games, this is one of the best months we've had in a while.

thorstein533d ago

I have every one of these on my wishlist. This is great!

I loved the first Plague Tale.

Relientk77534d ago

A Plague Tale: Requiem and Evil West are both fantastic games. What a great month

Demetrius534d ago

Better late, than never I guess.

andy85765d ago

This is impressive to be honest. Even very powerful PCs were struggling with this. I'd be interested to see what sacrifices it has. Probably resolution? I played it at 40 and it was fun, probably in the top 2 best looking games I've played. I bet it's a great experience at 60

LOGICWINS765d ago

Glad I waited. Will never support a game that doesn't have a performance mode.

CS7765d ago

I really wish I could understand the science behind how much I don’t care about performance mode.

60 to 30 makes no difference to me after two minutes of playing.

So strange to see that its a literal dealbreaker for most.

andy85765d ago

Your eyes do adapt a little but you never fully get rid of the feeling of the camera moving like sludge when panning the camera. At least I don't anyway. As a console player I was on 30 all the time but since the I got my PS5 I've played one game below 60 which was this game at 40. I tried it at 30 for a few hours (was lucky enough my 120hz TV was delivered the day after) and I really wasn't enjoying myself like I should be

JEECE765d ago

The feel and responsiveness of gameplay makes no difference to you?

Knushwood Butt764d ago

The big shock is going from 60 to 30.

I recently went from Far Cry 5 at 60fps, to Far Cry New Dawn at 30fps, and no joke, when first playing New Dawn it felt like the game was totally broken. I did get used to it after about 10 mins, but at first it's a night and day difference.

mkis007764d ago (Edited 764d ago )

I mean you literally see less per second. On average someone playing at a higher fps would perform better in an fps.

Personally playing jedi fallen order and now survivor at 60fps is way easier on harder difficulties. You need to block and dodge at a moments notice, having those extra frames is a built in handicap.

CobraKai764d ago

Same here. It all becomes the same to me. As long as 30 fps is, for the most part, stable, I’m good.

Babadook7764d ago (Edited 764d ago )

“I really wish I could understand the science behind how much I don’t care about performance mode.”

Motion smoothing on your TV perhaps? I would always disable it even if it shows more judder. But it will make 30 fps look mostly smooth.

philm87764d ago

Just depends on the type of game for me. Can quite happily play this type of game at 30FPS.

Obscure_Observer765d ago

It´s time to revisit Amicia and Hugo.

jznrpg765d ago

I still haven’t played this yet . Sounds like a good time now maybe this summer
