Shadow of the Beast

This shall be my next game! It’s a 2.5d brawler on PS4. I’ve only played about an hour so far but I’m liking it. It’s got lots of combat moves and has a medieval/demonic theme to it.

It doesn’t have any PS4 Pro features and runs at 60fps, so I didn’t bother ordering a PS4 pro. I wonder what game it will be that will have a PS4 Pro feature that interests me enough to buy one…

PS4 Pro will be getting a Boost mode pretty soon so quite a few games will be running 60 fps. But at the end, it’s up to the devs if they are willing to make a game that will be unlocked to 60 fps on PS4 Pro.

Is “boost mode” an overclock?

Yup. GPU and CPU power are amped up. BUT I read that some games will stay locked on 30 fps no matter what mode you use on PS4 Pro. If the 30 fps lock is the case, then games like Evil Within will have more stable 30 fps than on vanilla PS4 where the game stutters like crazy in the beginning area and some open areas. Right now, I don’t see why anyone would buy a PS4 Pro. It seems that the devs are either lazy or developing that unlocked framerate thing is too expensive for them. Hell, even Square Enix promised the 1080p60 patch would come for FFXV in January and as it seems it won’t be there in the next DLC which is out 28th February.

I’ll just check each time a ps4 game gets to the top of my list.

gord0 Haha I know. I just wanted to say that $20 here is almost a month of food supplies. So that’s not “only” for me haha
Also, you should try out the old school Shadow of the Beast. I’m sure there’s a emulator or something for that one. I assume, the new one is a reboot or something (??)

Well technically it’s $15.08 USD, The screen shot is CAD.

So I just beat the game! It’s short but awesome! Especially for an indie game! Plus each level has multiple difficulties for replayability and so you can still upgrade your stats. Recommended!
