I'm really interested to see how well this game runs on the Pro. It'll be a great test to see what it's capable of in CPU-heavy games. Especially since DD2's framerate is unlocked.
There's already videos of it running on the Pro on Youtube. In the most stressful town section the lowest the framerate goes is into the 50's
That’s pretty good! Towns could be rough but it was primarily in heavy action scenes that the framerate would just absolutely plummet. I’ll have to look up some videos.
Yeah the towns were pretty bad. It would be more noticeable since you're in the towns for a good amount of time. Idk what the deal is with open world games and towns this gen, but there's been several games where performance drops terribly in those kinds of areas. But heavy action sequences with lots of visual effects brought my performance to a crawl as well.
DD2 is a good game, but you'll quickly sense it was made with 2012 sensibilities and a clearly aging engine. Capcom can't get their REX Engine out fast enough.
Yea I'm worried about DD2 because while I loved the first one I literally fell off it by the next weekend. Heard this one felt more like a remake of the first so I'm hesitant. Then the things I'm hearing about AW2 make me hesitant even though I've loved every single Remedy game. TLOU2 was going to be my next game then I heard it was getting Pro enhancements so I decided to hold off on replaying it. I'll probably end up with TLOU2 I've been really wanting to replay it.
