Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night 720p/30fps Handheld, Dynamic 720p/30fps + Enhanced Visual Effects Docked; 60fps XB1/PS4; 4k for One X/Pro

60fps for PS4 and XB1; 4k for One X and Pro
I think this is the first time we've got confirmation that the PS4 and XB1 versión are going to be 60FPS. Also 4K support on Pro and X. So happy I didn't switch to the Switch and held on to PS4.
I don't expect rock solid 60FPS on vanilla PS4 and XB1 but at least it'll be targeting 60.

Yeah it really is a bummer about the Switch performance this just seems like a perfect game for the Switch. I will probably be getting this for PC but the 4K/60 sounds great and I may get it for my X.
Well, they just lost a HUGE opportunity.
Although not so much since I'm pretty sure the game is going to sell more on Switch anyway but this means that I won't double dip for a physical release.
Also according to the official forums 505 confirmed two massive updates are imminent: One this coming Thursday and another one the Thursday after that.
I expect reveal of the stretch goal extra modes, pre order info, MSRP, Kickstarter goodies, etc.

Can I ask a mod to change the title of the thread to include confirmation XB1 and PS4 are 60fps?
Nice, I figured it'd be 60FPS on PS4 but I'm glad we have confirmation so I don't have to think about selling my copy now.
I'm glad I stuck with the PS4 version now. 30 FPS will be fine given its portable, but I'll mostly play this on my TV.
As long as the game isn't missing any content I don't think the FPS drop won't be so bad.

I guess my 30fps unravel 2 switch Port is fine. In portable I only play anyways
Definitely with all bell and whistle but again it's switch so it's gonna be the worse looking too. It's portable tho
30fps was never bad. I can handle 30 FPS no problem. It's just that 60fps is better.
I will admit to being spoiled on pc, but wouldnt want to play a platformer/action game at less than 60fps.
I call bullshit on that. Maybe just UE4 games. Mega Man renders just fine.
30 FPS might be fine for Bloodstained if it's not too action-heavy. It'd be a death sentence for something like Mega Man or Cuphead, though.
How were the NES Megaman games running? Were they really 60fps?
Specifically UE4 games have a very hard time rendering at 60fps without tanking the resolution. A Nintendo first party title (Yoshi) couldn't even do it.
The Switch was never going to be the choice of platform for those who want the best graphics and performance.
Enlighten me on how it's not trivial? I've shipped two 60fps games on Switch, one with Monogame and the other with Unity. In both cases 60fps took an incredible amount of work and optimization, particularly undocked.
Again you are using bad example engines. My point is, the switch is a capable system of running modern games with mobile hardware. But trying to bring ports of games from other platforms that are much more capable is going to be problematic. Yet, it can be done. Nintendo needs to patch higher clocks on portable power or give developers an option to choose it. The hardware is capable of running way higher in both docked and portable play.
They are 60fps. Mega Man 11 is solid 60fps at 1080p docked.
I'm not going to lie, 30fps on Switch bums me out. Action platformers really benefit from 60fps, but it is what it is. I'm traveling a bunch throughout the summer, and I'll only have my Switch with me, so it'll be the platform I purchase Bloodstained on. I just hope it runs flawlessly at 30fps.
Yeah, I don't know what to do about my preorder. I wanna keep it since I own COTM on my Switch and loved it (and plan to get one for PS4 later down the line) but 30FPS in a game made for 60 in mind is inexcusable. I really hope they change their mind and patch it to include the proper framerate so this isn't another DOOM/Wolf II situation. Either that, or at the very least confirmation the game was made with 30 in mind originally before being upscaled to 60 would be nice so I know whether or not I'm getting a version that'll run well and not a lame scaled back version that won't feel right if I get the PS4 version alongside it. (ports like Sonic Forces and Ys suffer badly from this)
Heck, I'd gladly take a mode that would lower the visuals to 240P with 60FPS in docked mode only just to play the game at the proper speed. I liked it in FE Warriors and I really wish more games did that since I don't really care about how pretty the game looks, just how good it feels to play.

Could you explain to a layman what do you mean by "particularly undocked"? Making the game run at 60fps undocked is more difficult than docked? Why? Not trying to stonewall you or anything, I'm just genuinely curious since I'm so ignorant on this topic.
The information that it will be 4K came from a tweet from just yesterday from the official Bloodstained account (see Threadmark or updated OP) while the original OP of this thread is from a month ago so I guess we should heed the most recent tweet. Maybe they just optimized it?
Undocked / portable is less powerful than docked, this is a very known fact dude, where have you been the last few years:p
The switch is throttled when undocked, it's a known fact. The CPU is going to run at a slower clock, because of factors, heat, battery, power. Etc..
Depending on how old UE build is they could use dynamic resolution and temporal upsampling.
Or they just use FXAA and constant resolution..
Upsampling does require additional power to run, but depending on content it can look very good. (Ie. Claybook.)
The versions on more powerful hardware running better is nothing new for Switch owners. If that was a dealbreaker for me I wouldn't have gone for the Switch version to begin with.
Since gaming existed. I've learned to deal with it.
Fact is, most 3rd party publishers will put graphics over framerate, despite having consoles that are more than powerful enough to easily do both.
Wanted it on Switch but I'll pass and get it on PRO, not paying the same price for a worse performing game
And because when dicked you don't have to deal with heat, battery, docked etc you can push the Switch farther to its limits and thus achieve better performance/resolution? So it's not because there's something on the dock that lets the Switch garner more power somehow?

Its mostly for battery life. Running docked clock speed in undocked mode will theoretically halve the battery life.
exactly, the switch works just like a laptop when unplugged the power is throttled. there is nothing magical about the switch dock is just a piece of plastic, what the dock does is send a signal to the main board telling the unit that is indeed docked and can run the cpu a t full speed because it is plugged indifinitely to a power source.
That depends on how important portability is. Handheld mode while you're travelling or tabletop mode while you're having a break at work.
Looks are something I don't really care about. Never been a graphicsnista.
