I don't understand what a 540p mode is, here. Resolutions are typically polled from the OS, right? Does it alter some other settings? Change the HUD scale (which should either way be scaled I would hope)?

Either way, options are good and keeping low spec machines in mind something to be commended.

Nothing stops the game from rendering to texture of intended resolution and then stretching it. Though I imagine there's a better way.

There's an option for a 15fps lock in FFXIV... when you focus on another window. It's to save resources while you're idling in game.

Actually playing a game in 15fps is another story and one I wouldn't recommend lol

 

[13ruce]

Dat classic n64 experience.

 

[THEaaron]

I would actually like a 720/sub720p optional mode with 60 fps in every game

It's just that the resolution won't dictate if the game runs at 30 or 60fps in most cases, actually.

 

[N7.Angel]

... ... ...

 

[deadman69]

is the pc version capped at 60fps?

....but why?

They've just provided a ridiculously low min-spec. Implementing these performance floors when designing the rest of the visual options would have taken no time at all.

On the lower end of the budget spectrum, budget laptops, and even stuff like GPD Win viable options. And on the upper-end, 15FPS lock may help those looking to take high-end 8K and beyond screenshots.

Dat classic n64 experience.

You laugh but the Nintendo NES (or whatever they are bringing back) sells out in minutes.

I think it's actually really clever and so retro. I dig it.

 

[Švejk]

They want to recreate that Goldeneye 64 magic.

Dat classic n64 experience.

Edit: Beat me to it. lol!

 

[J@hranimo]

I'm confused at this news.

Time to go to bed.

 

[ZeroX03]

Optimization goes both ways people. This is perfectly fine.

 

[Zedox]

I can't believe this thread is already 5 pages long. Smh. Good for RARE to get the minimum spec low to get as many people as possible to potentially buy the game.

 

[Primethius]

Guess the resolution option is cool if the lower resolution option otherwise would be higher (e.g. 720p).

Not sure a 15 FPS lock is all that necessary since you can lock the framerate externally on PC. Unless windows store doesn't allow that?

 

[Haunted]

Wii version?


weird inclusion tbh but fine, whatever

 

[Coffinhal]

Uh, what? It's more like they make the game accessible to PCs that otherwise wouldn't have a chance to run it

But how I can make the same joke as everyone if this is a legit option ???????

 

[FreedomFighter]

This would be wizardry on N64.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Damn, PS4 owners would be so jealous. That's twice as cinematic as 30 fps.

 

[Hermii]

15 is divisible by 4?

60/4=15

 

[RAWRferal]

Harking back to the good old Goldeneye days.

 

[Bert]

Best troll of graphics snobs ever.

 

[konjak]

They're saying they're "happy" to play at 15 fps, so this whole thing is from a standpoint of people not having the specs to run the game any higher. So if they can get the game at a steady 15 fps without the game speed being slower, they can play the game without upgrading. I think the key difference here is few games are made to run at full speed or reliably at 15 fps.

Sounds fine to me. Some people don't want to or can't spend to upgrade.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

60/4=15

oh I get it, sorry I thought you meant 15/4, English is not my native

 

[FunkyDealer]

The more resolutions the better. Locking it at 15 sounds weird to officially support, but I guess these folks haven't been introduced to RTSS.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

They are trying to target that Roblox crowd of kids on PC. It is where the Sea of Thieves idea came from. It is a game on Roblox some kid created.

 

[deadman69]

video games should have fps options for all the factors of 60, starting at 1fps.

 

[Zedox]

The more resolutions the better. Locking it at 15 sounds weird to officially support, but I guess these folks haven't been introduced to RTSS.

Majority of people on PC don't know what that tool is.

Exclusively tailored for Nintendo Switch. Available this Fall. Pre-order now.

 

[JoeLT]

Wow at these responses in this thread. Shame on Rare for giving more options to players with low end PC's, amirite? I know a few people who would really appreciate this, having old laptops that are their only way to game and are always looking for ways to run games at lower settings to play.

 

[quesalupa]

 

[Guymelef]

Seems like they are looking for attention.

 

[franklyshankly]

I'm assuming these "people" are little kids they expect to see the game from their favorite YouTuber and want to play on their parents' crapbox laptop.

 

[Chittagong]

Somebody needs to photoshop the cover and replace the 4k icon with a 540p icon

 

[EvB]

I'm glad they put it there, it means I can easily achieve 4K ULTRA GIGA settings on my PC and post screenshots of it to lord it over the Xbox peasants.

Little will they know it's running at 15fps locked...

 

[crimilde]

I'm actually happy playing 15 frames per second.

 

[SMOK3Y]

I'm playing right now and I'm under NDA but you know what? Fuck it; have a gif about how it looks

Lol

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Makes sense to offer stuff like this as an option for people with lower spec computers, it's not like it's the only resolution and framerate available.

 

[Lonely1]

My GPD Win is ready.

 

[jobrro]

This would be a good way to troll someone who just bought a new top of the line graphics card or rig.

 

[CSJ]

I can't believe this thread is already 5 pages long. Smh. Good for RARE to get the minimum spec low to get as many people as possible to potentially buy the game.

Before today playing at 15fps was just called not having a good enough PC to play it and brought about whining, rightly so.

Now it's called lowered the minimum specs.

 

[diaspora]

....but why?

Integrated graphics like laptops or the Surface Pro devices.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Sea of Thieves: Survival Evolved.

 

[sphinx]

it's an option, why the uproar?

it's just there for whoever needs it.

 

[sirap]

I played Dark Souls 1 at 10fps on my iGPU. If Rare doesn't include a 10fps lock for this game, I'm canceling my pre-order.

15fps? Screw that PC master race bullshit. Not everyone has money to waste.

 

[Kinyou]

Pretty much. I imagine Minecraft being able to run on a toaster helped it's success

This is how I play Kerbal. Don't think it's running quite that low but I drop the res and put it in a window.

 

[muteki]

N64 framerates is not something I'm nostalgic for really.

 

[PodcastFips]

Haha, I love how they are making fun of a certain group of people here.

 

[Recall]

What type of game is Sea of Thieves? An adventure point and click game? Action RPG? Turn based?

 

[Sayad]

Seems like they are looking for attention.

Thought they were looking for PC users with low spec hardware, but with hotcakes heavens like GAF, maybe it was better to not announce this!
