PS4_FRAME-RATES_DARK_SOULS_2_SCHOLAR_OF_THE_FIRST_SIN

In the constant struggle between the PS4 and the Xbox One two particular things always pop up and result in one console being considered superior to the other. These things are frame rate and resolution. Console gamers are becoming more and more picky these days and they are not prepared to settle for anything less than 1080p and 60 fps when it comes to their games. Both Sony and Microsoft are doing their best to fulfill the wishes of their fans, but one company is arguably better than the other and that’s Sony. The PS4 has no problems with offering 1080p resolution and 60 fps on most titles, including on the Dark Souls 2 definitive edition, also known as Scholar of the First Sin.

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin will be released on April 7th for consoles and it includes both the original title and all of its DLC packs. The game runs at 1080p on both the PS4 and Xbox One, but it appears that there are some differences between the two versions it terms of frame rate. Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry took the game out for an early spin and conducted an in-depth analysis on it, much like they do with most highly anticipated released titles. What they’ve learned is that there is a slight, but noticeable performance gap between the PS4 and the Xbox One when running the game. Apparently, the PS4 is able to offer 60 fps, albeit with occasional drops that take it down to 50, but the Xbox One struggles a bit more to keep up and you can reportedly expect the frames to hover in the 40-50 range most of the time.

Basically, we’re looking at a 10 fps difference that’s pretty constant according to the article. Interestingly, the Xbox One version of Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin already received a small patch, but the performance is still inferior when compared to the PS4 version regardless. Perhaps more patches will follow. In any case, Microsoft still has a bit of time to make improvements so if you’re on the Xbox One don’t lose hope just yet. Meanwhile, Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin is already available for PC starting today. Check out the trailer below.

There hasn’t been much buzz surrounding Suicide Squad since its release in February. Warner Bros. was let down by the game’s underwhelming sales, but they remained committed to turning their live service vision into a reality. An exciting new DLC update has been released, introducing The Crown Prince of Crime to the game.

As the game’s first live season begins, players will have the chance to take on Green Lantern and, in the end, unlock The Joker as a playable character. Which Joker are you referring to? This is quite intricate. Furthermore, players can look forward to the inclusion of a Battle Pass, a variety of new shop items available for purchase, exciting Incursions and Strongholds to partake in, as well as an expanded selection of Infamy Sets and Notorious Gear to amass.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog.
