"With only a few more days left before its release, A Plague Tale: Requiem, the sequel to the critically acclaimed A Plague Tale: Innocence by Asobo Studio and Focus Entertainment, unveiled a special music video featuring violinist Lindsey Stirling.
Dressed in an outfit inspired by A Plague Tale’s protagonists, Amicia and Hugo De Rune, and evolving in a lush environment inspired by the landscapes of A Plague Tale: Requiem, the hit musician performs the game’s main theme on the violin. This special tribute is a perfect celebration of the heart-rending adventure into a brutal, breathtaking and visually stunning world that’s coming to A Plague Tale: Requiem’s players, and the outstanding score by multi-award winner and BAFTA-nominated composer Olivier Derivière which powerfully enriches the intense emotional journey of A Plague Tale’s new chapter."

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.
Plagues Tail Req is good. One of my favorite Dual Sense trigger effects on the slingshot.
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.
I have every one of these on my wishlist. This is great!
I loved the first Plague Tale.
A Plague Tale: Requiem and Evil West are both fantastic games. What a great month
A new A Plague Tale: Requiem update is now live on PC and consoles, introducing a 60 FPS performance mode and new graphics options.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
Same here. It all becomes the same to me. As long as 30 fps is, for the most part, stable, I’m good.
“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.
Just depends on the type of game for me. Can quite happily play this type of game at 30FPS.
