Demystifying the rumors that most console players only care about graphics.
Try Elder Scrolls Online and its own in-game “performance” mode, which is still garbage on PS5 and gets low frame rates.
I think I’ve only played a couple of games where I prefer graphics mode. The ray tracing mode for Doom Eternal on Series X is a good example; it runs excellently and the ray tracing actually makes a visible difference. I use the quality mode in Ghostrunner 2 because there isn’t really much difference in frames between it and the high frame rate mode. I use quality in Final Fantasy XV because the game’s performance mode is staggeringly ugly and blurry.
I prefer Fidelity, usually. Maybe on a second time, I’ll do performance, but I really like pretty graphics.
People think that frame rate isn’t very noticeable until you give them access to a toggle that lets them double it.
