Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga will only run at 30fps on Xbox Series X/S.

But the beauty also comes at a price: Hellblade 2 only runs at 30 fps with dynamic resolution on both Xbox Series S and Series X.

There are no graphics modes; the frame rate can only be increased on the PC. The VFX Director explains this in an interview with GamePro by saying that the experience should feel more "cinematic" - similar to movies that run at 24 frames per second. Whether this will convince every fan remains another question. However, as the gameplay is generally rather slow and weighty, the smooth 30 fps didn't bother me in the play session.

When you push graphics to next gen wow level 30fps is nedded.

60fps is the reason most games this gen are not impressive graphically compared with PS4… I explained in GAF that with the jump PS4 30fps to PS5 60fps we lose the wow factor in graphics.

Of course games on PS5 looks better but we lose the big jump we had in generation shift.

Don’t take me wrong we still have pretty great looking games in 30fps modes but when you choose the 60fps modes the things go downhill and the so called 120fps modes is like playing PS3 level of graphics 🤷‍♂️

If people expect the next ND and SSM game to be 60fps, then they are going to be very disappointed.

They will probably have a 60fps mode that will not look that good.

In 30fps is where the games will shine graphically talking.

We can looks at HFW here where it doesn’t looks good in 60fps due the sacrifices.

Since it’s coming to ps5 later, it’s safe to assume it’ll also be 30fps on ps5.
I’m fine with it.
If you’re a fps whore, get a PC. It should be as simple as that.

And it does look good on 40fps. Which is the best mode and all modern games should support it.

They overdid themselfes. 6 frames too much though, should have kept it at locked 24fps for full cinematic experience. Would fit perfectly alongside the letterbox 🥰
in the name of graphical revolution and invention.

At least it's not 24fps. :ROFLMAO:

Hilarious that so many Xbox games turned out to be 30fps, Starfield, Redfal and Hellblade 2. It's like Xbots anren' allowed to have anything going their way.

I would much rather play a Director's cut of The Order 1886 over this game that MS has been hyping for 4 years.
