I wouldn't say I blame the consoles, it's just a very strange choice by the devs to prioritise resolution so low and not to offer a 30fps option.

It does suggest though that maybe Lumen and Nanite are very heavy on current hardware; it will be interesting to see how UE5 fares in future console titles.

30fps is ass for a FPS on current consoles. 

With options though, as most current gen home console games offer, that's up to the player. In its current state, there's no choice. I suspect many Series S owners would rather 30fps than 436p.

Did anyone else notice that the PS5 version looked to have much better IQ? Seems like the framerate suffers accordingly - but DF didnt seem to make any mention of this difference in the video.

The series S version is looking really really rough.

This is not the way to go for developers in my opinion. The tradeoff simply isnt worth it.

They touch on this in the article; the actual pixel counts are the same on both PS5 and Series X, so they theorise that any differences come down to post-processing.
