Developer Team Ninja returns once more with its excellent combat design – this time taking its in-house engine to the open road. Rise of the Ronin presents a huge landscape to freely explore, all built to suit PS5 as a sole platform target. However even with the dedicated PS5 development, the game’s frame-rate has issues on all three of its modes – as Tom covers in detail.

Early PS4 Game with 60 FPS patch.

-Pop in right in front of you
-900p
-40-60 fps
-Frame time issues
-poor textures
-Horse animation from South park creator

Gameplay looks dope though.

Shouldn’t have put it in a PS5 Box tbh.

It'll be more worth it once its around 30 dollars and they've patched these visual issues
@AstralFrost April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
There's a meme out there saying it looks like a PS3 game. I don't think so. I think it's more mixed than that, with some PS3 but more PS4. Perhaps early PS4 (but with a ray tracing mode).

I red a lot of mixed reviews for the game but I'm really liking it. The writing, characters and political intrigue are better than Ghost of Tsushima in my opinion. And the gameplay is cool. I'm really hooked.

Just play god damn game stop crying for something that developers don’t have it in them anymore. Old developers are gone you have new generation which is not good as old
@user-jc4sd6yl4v April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
looks last gen as fckk
@kenkaze75 April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
900p30 is great for a ps5
@ejkk9513 April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
This developer has always struggled with polish and performance. Running at ps4 resolution and looking like a very advanced ps3 game in settings and features. I've seen Ratchet and Clank, God of War Ragnarok, Demons souls running and looking beautifully on PS5.
@jiegokoji April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
Next gen sub 1080p once again lol.
@hanwitargo April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
I play on ray tracing mode with couple setting tweak, limit frame/motion blur/chromatic turn OFF. So far so good with very minimal frame drops 👌🏻
@Zenzuu April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
Ghost of Tsushima looks better, has a higher average resolution and runs at a locked 60fps. Same could be said about Horizon Forbidden West as well.

Both games show what the PS5 can actually do.
@Darkrod99 April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
Team Ninja needs to rework the engine. Doesn’t make sense that resolution and frame rate
@elevate7985 April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
How did they fuck this up? All you had to do was optimize it for 1 console… not only are the graphics and animation on par with 7th gen games, the resolution is horrible and the framerate is unstable. Absolutely outrageous 🤡! This shit is 70 dollars🤦🏼
@elvo6217 April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
Once I heard the issues. No need to finish the video. POP in low floor textures a forced ray trace mode tells me this game is a hard ignore
@thomHD April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
You can immediately tell this is a Playstation title from a Japanese studio
@downhilldad220 April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
Looks like a launch ps4 game
@PARANDROID April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
This could easily run on a ps4 on 30
@masterquake7 April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
Yuck. Yet another game shooting too high for this gen and relying too hard on FSR 2. I feel like this is a huge problem this gen.
@taurussho86 April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
I guess PS5 holding itself back...
@krazykoolz88 April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
DF -- I'm glad yall continue to be honest and direct in evaluations.

This game absolutely does look like a PS4 game around half the time.
@yagami999913 April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
I'm a big Team Ninja fan and have ZERO problems with this game's graphics. But no locked 60fps on performance mode bothers me a lot. Waiting for patches.
@overdoseproductions9011 April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
Damn team ninja never pushed games to their max
@cptwigglefuffle April 6, 2024 - 9:15 pm
I just want Ninja Gaiden .-.

That horse 🐴 is so funny looking like a toy.
