Control PS5 and Xbox Series X|S details - 60fps or 30 fps with Raytracing - Digital release Feb 2, retail release March 2
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Performance RT for Control would run at like 720p. I just got a 3070 and I still struggle to hold 60 at the most performance-oriented DLSS settings in some of the bigger rooms. It would still look great, mind you, but Control is a very demanding game with one of the more elaborate ray tracing setups we've seen so far.
Just beat nearly every possible part of this game the other day. I'll probably dip back in to see the performance boost.
It's only $20 on Xbox right now, and it'll probably go on sale soon on the PS Store if you're interested
There are levels of RT so it's possible they could do 1080p 60fps if they scale some stuff back.
yeah at60fps it brings my 2070s to its knees, even with dlss on, dialed down rt.
im thinking these consoles are more or less at 2070s level, and they don't have dlss equivalent as well.
Also I don't think save game data transfers over either. I'm like 3/4 of the way through on the normal version and don't feel like starting over
Dope, will play with Raytracing. This might just be the first 30 fps game I play in a while, wonder how that's gonna be.
Are you asking if they made an upgrade path for owners of the vanilla game? Because no, they didn't. No cross-saves either as far as I'm aware
Good to finally have a date. I waited and grabbed the $20 ultimate version on Black Friday.
Sucks for everyone that won't get the upgrades as they own the other version because reasons.

...do you actually know that's possible in this case? Or are you just assuming it's possible
I bought the standard edition on PS4 in a sale a few months back. Downloaded it but never played it, and then saw the news about there being no upgrade.
Not sure whether to buy the PS5 version, play the PS4 version on PS5, or just give up on the whole thing.
Not ideal.

It was my game of the year for 2019 so I'll double dip to play again..I held off on beating the DLC so should be fun.
The first one I'd like to think is possible.
The second one I doubt they will even consider
Control's RT implementation has a bunch of different options (reflections, indirect lighting, contact shadows, etc.) that can be toggled independently and have varying impacts on framerate. A performance RT mode would probably have to only use a few to have a shot at 60 FPS.
How's the current gen version on series x?
I have that version , and I might just start playing it now.

Very nice how quickly you can change between the two modes.
Maybe I will double dip in the future.

But again, to be clear you don't actually know this to be true lol. You're just assuming a viable option isn't being presented
It was on sale on PSN a few weeks ago for 20 as well. I only played the game via PS Now earlier this year (trial period) so didn't feel too bad to spend 20 for the ultimate edition on PS4 (which can be upgraded to PS5 version). For those who already bought the original release the control upgrade debacle kinda sucks though.
The problem is that Control really relies on DLSS to to provide a proper "high resolution" 60 fps and RT. But AMD doesn't really have a DLSS solution yet.
On PC 4K DLSS is commonly 1080p internal resolution to begin with and you probably need a 2080 TI to get steady 60 with that configuration. So with weaker RT capabilities and no DLSS you would probably need to drop down to 720p to get 60 fps Control with Ray Tracing on the next gen consoles. At least without a heavy engine rewrite which I doubt Remedy is going to do since they are alreaedy in production on two other games.
What does cross-saves mean? Because as an owner of the vanilla game since launch that bought the ultimate edition, it's essentially the same sku just with all the DLC and an upgrade path to next gen version, so my save carried over to the last gen version. No idea if they will carry over to the next gen versions.
Honestly, shooting in Control with the Dualsense triggers must feel amazing mmmmmmmmTrigger effect on PS5?
I think they probably evaluated it and decided that the RT wasn't impressive enough or the internal resolution was too low to prioritize a performance RT mode. Maybe they'll add one later like Spider-Man, I'm just speaking to the compromises it would involve.
I mean anything is possible. Whether they will do it is a different story.
Oh really? Oof, definitely not interested in this then. The RT looks nice but game looks good as-is and I'm probably close to the end too.
