You have been spoiled by more recent games. That kind of FPS was normal a few years back (during 360 and PS3 era). Though i didnt play the Wii U version, so i don't know if its worse. Also, if i recall these FPS dips were when entering a new area or saving, wich even today happen on some games still (for example even Fallout 4 chugs while saving today). Unfortunely these are things that will only go away as the hardware gets better and better.

But yes, the game takes clear inspirations from Zelda, PoP and God of War/Devil may cry. But its an interesting mix.

I have been spoiled by older games as well. Just because third parties on the whole were incompetent during the 360 and PS3 era doesn't mean that it should become an acceptable standard. The Wii U version has a terribly instable framerate and I am and wasn't refering to dips that happen while the game is streaming new data into the RAM.

 

Oh, i totally agree. I hated the FPS drops. Just saying that it happened alot. And if we rip on this one we are gonna have to rip on all of them. My point is more that it wasnt an isolated case. But yes, i despise fps drops. Much prefer less objects/fidelity for a smoother experience.
