Nice, I've meaning to replay this.
I’ll definitely take 4K though I’m still holding out on a 60FPS patch. From what I’ve read, it sounds like a lot of the game’s logic is tied to the 30FPS cap, so this may be the best we get unfortunately.
Game looks gorgeous in 4K, nonetheless! For having released in 2013 on the Wii U, it’s amazing just how good it looks.
omg still 30 fps? Nintendo is so lazy I'm really losing patience, i already sold one switch 2, not sure how long I'll keep my second at this rate, definitely keep it until after playing Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake (I've bought almost every Switch 2 game so far, most are mid)
Can't wait for the PC port at 120fps to do it right
yeah idk if you’re even going to be seeing a 60FPS PC port anytime soon. Again, the game’s logic is tied to 30FPS. Unless you’re okay with a little bit of latency that comes from frame gen?
you don't need frame gen, frame gen is when you don't have enough performance, for example every PS5 game that gets a 120fps port to the PS6 won't use frame gen, because the PS6 is faster
game logic can be locked to a tick rate like 30fps but even then you can interpolate to 60fps or 120fps and that is also not the same thing as frame gen, but way better than it (you can animate at 60fps physics that is calculated at 30fps)
