Doing the tutorial now. WAS NOT EXPECTING 30 FPS ON PS4. Shocked, confused and disapppinted.

Just got my PS4, playing through the tutorial. Can confirm it's 30FPS. Huge disappointment. It's still responsive enough but, y'know, a 30FPS action game from Platinum?
Combat is just like Korra, with musou style combos; you press Square as many times as you feel like, then Triangle for a finisher. Square Square Square Triangle is a launcher, Square x4 Triangle is a charge forward thing, etc. A perfectly timed dodge has you scoot around behind an enemy, rather than activating Witch Time. An interesting new mechanic is that you can hold the dodge button to spin around inside your shell, and if you release with perfect timing you'll parry the enemy. It seems like a nice twist on Platinum's usual mechanics. You can't spin forever, though; it's the same thing Bayonetta has where you can't dodge five times in a row.
I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and play through it, at least.
How does a game like that run at 30...? It's far from a looker!
VanquishI can't think of any other 30fps platinum game

I'm going to be looking at the game for DF as well. Not a big release, but I wanted to give it a look.
Just fought Bebop, and that really wasn't fun. It feels more like an MMO than an action game. There's no back and forth that you'd expect from a Platinum bossfight, dodging attacks and getting hits in when you've got an opening. You kind of just wail away at him in this inscrutable melee of four turtles all attacking at once and soundbytes playing over eachother, and the boss does his own thing and attacks whenever he feels like it. Meanwhile you've got special attacks on cooldown timers that feel like the only way to do any significant damage, since plugging away with Square and Triangle combos doesn't really do a whole lot.
Bebop fires this laser gun around with no discernible pattern, and it just fucks you up on Normal difficulty. You don't have much health and I didn't feel like I could reliably dodge the attack, so I ended up hanging back waiting for my healing power's cooldown timer to finish.
As a European, you should have realized by now that games sometimes get Friday releases over there.I'm confused here, guys.
Pre-ordered it on PSN and it's not yet available for pre-loading.
It's a worldwide release on May 24th but it appears the game will be available on 26th in Europe.
Does anybody here has an explanation for this mess please? Thanks!
I must admit that I'm a bit frustrated and annoyed. It's the last time that I'll pre-order games on PSN. Same bullshit happened to me with Bloodborne.
