PS5 Exclusive Stellar Blade Will Feature a Trio of Graphics Options | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Something that's come to define PS5 games throughout the console's lifespan is more choice with regards to visual and performance options. Where we used to simply have to put up with whatever resolution and frame rate a game had by default, nowadays, a lot of major titles will have at least two variations. It seems Stellar Blade will be no different, allowing players to decide how the game looks and runs using a trio of options.

The PS5 exclusive, being developed by South Korean team Shift Up, will have three visual modes for users to choose from. The news comes via an interview (translated by Genki) in which technical director Dong-Gi Lee explained what each option offers.

Firstly, there's a performance mode that runs the game at a smooth 60 frames-per-second. Then there's a resolution mode, reducing the frame rate in favour of a 4K resolution. Finally, a balanced mode splits the difference, finding a happy medium between the other modes.

It's not made clear what the balanced mode will be like precisely, but it's at least good to have a selection of choices so you can play the way you want. For a fast-paced action game like this, we imagine the performance mode will be the way to go, but again, it's always good to have more options.

Having grown up alongside PlayStation, Stephen has developed an eclectic taste in video games and a wide knowledge of the medium, from small indie gems to the biggest AAA blockbusters. Ever hopeful that the Burnout series makes a miraculous return.

I’ll be honest, I get really tempted to preorder this one, but then keep snapping out of it. If there’s any game that needs a pre-release demo for being an unknown, it’s this one

Hoping balanced mode is 40fps for 120hz screens, like most new PS Studios games do. This has been my go-to mode ever since it started being a thing.

Stellar Blade has been my most anticipated PS5 game
