Exciting News: Dynasty Warriors: Origins on Switch 2 Offers a Frame Rate Choice!
Gamers, get ready for a thrilling experience as Koei Tecmo and Omega Force prepare to launch Dynasty Warriors: Origins on the Switch 2 next week. Initially announced to operate at a steady 30 frames per second (fps) on Nintendo's innovative hybrid console, recent reviews have unveiled an intriguing twist: a variable frame rate option is now available!
Now, you might be wondering why this matters. While not every player may prefer it, those who crave a smoother gameplay experience closer to 60fps will find this option appealing. According to testing conducted by the YouTube channel Cycu1, players can enjoy a quality mode that consistently runs at 30fps, while the variable mode seeks to approach 60fps, fluctuating primarily between the mid-50s and low 40s.
In our review of Dynasty Warriors: Origins for the Switch 2, PJ O'Reilly noted that the fixed 30fps setting felt "smooth and responsive throughout," making for an enjoyable experience once players adjusted to it. However, when he experimented with the "variable" frame rate feature, he did encounter some moments of stuttering.
"Despite Koei Tecmo adding a 'variable' unlocked frame rate option for players to experiment with, I personally suggest keeping it turned off. This way, you can revel in a consistently smooth and exhilarating gaming journey without the occasional stutters that this feature can introduce. You want to stay immersed in the action rather than being distracted by minor hiccups, especially given that Dynasty Warriors: Origins offers an exciting reimagining of the classic Warriors gameplay, packed with stylish combat and epic battles against overwhelming odds."
Players can easily switch between frame rate options in the 'Graphics' section of the settings menu. Which setting will you choose—30fps for reliability or the variable option for potential high speeds? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
