Well, at least they’re honest…
Dips at 30 FPS is unacceptable in the modern age.
Just imagine the extra frames, real fans will find a way /s
If they say about “30 with some dips” it really is going to be 15 average.
cpu heavy? that may be normal for 3a title in switch 2 in the coming years, some may just skip the platform.
Fyi, by “there will be a download”, he means the physical version will have a Switch 2 game key rather than a regular cartridge.
Why are they releasing this on Switch
…What? The fuck do you mean “dips at 30 FPS”, at max it should just be 30 FPS, you cannot release a game like this that is both 30 FPS *and* has dips.
Anyone playing this on Switch should be well aware of the hardware limitations.
It’s the Switch 2, this is hardly surprising, no?
Dips below the bare minimum, cool. If they are informing of “dips” then its going to noticeably affect the gameplay experience for all players.
Anyone who is playing non first party new releases on switch 2 at launch doesn’t care or even know about framerate. If you’re on reddit comparing frame rate analysis, I’d wager you have a console or PC of some import.
PS Vita version of Borderlands 2 flashbacks.
lol this sounds like how borderlands 2 was pitched for vita
Nintendo crowd must be elated to play at solid 20FPS on their newest console. 3 more Switches and they might get solid 60.
*PR: “30 with some dips”.
*Reality: PowerPoint presentation incoming
30 fps (when looking at the sky)
When, like really when did it become acceptible to go below 60 again, like wtf.
The fact that the Switch can run 3rd party games at a consistent 30 is laughable.
Wow being honest
Soooooo why would anyone buy this?
The console is 1 month old and already can’t run current gen games at a respectable level. Typical Nintendo.
man the people working at gearbox really gotta learn how to shut randy up because hes not been doing borderlands 4 any favours lmao, i mean cool heads up i guess
I am having *Borderlands 2 on the Vita* level flashbacks.
Borderlands games have a fuckton of particles and effects. “Some dips” may as well be “whenever you’re in combat”
The thing is, I’m not buying a Switch 2 for Borderlands 4. I’m buying it for other games. The fact that it’ll be released for Switch 2 is fine, but I feel like if anyone has been a long time fan of the series, they weren’t gonna get it on a Nintendo console as their first pick.
The way some people seem to be upset it’s gonna be kneecapped on the console that’s well established as having lower performing hardware seems weird. Just don’t get it for that console.
Not surprised.
The price for portability is worse performance. Maybe Nintendo exclusives will achieve the legendary 4K60fps, but for third party games people better get accostumed with the good old 1080p30 / 60fps docked.
