Developer Shift Up has unveiled exciting news for players eagerly anticipating its upcoming PS5 exclusive action RPG, Stellar Blade. The game will offer players the ability to customize their gameplay experience through a variety of graphical settings, a feature typically associated with PC gaming but increasingly making its way into console titles.
In an interview with German-language site PLAY3.DE, Game Director Hyung-Tae Kim revealed that Stellar Blade will provide three distinct graphical options, allowing players to tailor their experience to their preferences. These options include:
- Performance-prioritizing mode: This setting targets a smooth gameplay experience at a consistent 60 frames per second (FPS), ensuring fluid and responsive action.
- Resolution-prioritizing mode: Players opting for this mode will enjoy an enhanced display resolution of 4K (3840?×?2160 pixels), ideal for those gaming on high-resolution TVs and monitors, offering stunning visual fidelity.
- Balanced mode: This dynamic mode seeks to strike a harmonious balance between the performance and resolution priorities, offering a compromise that caters to a wide range of player preferences.
Technical Director Dong-Gi Lee elaborated on how the PS5’s hardware capabilities enabled the team to target a default frame rate of 60 FPS, showcasing the platform’s power and flexibility.
Additionally, Kim highlighted Stellar Blade’s utilization of unique features of the PS5, such as the touchpad and adaptive triggers on the DualSense controller, enhancing immersion and interactivity for players.
Shift Up’s transition from mobile gaming to console development was supported by Sony, providing significant technical assistance throughout the game’s creation. Despite the studio’s prior focus on mobile titles like Destiny Child and Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, Stellar Blade represents Shift Up’s ambitious debut in the console gaming space.
With its visually stunning graphics, smooth action gameplay, and attention to detail, Stellar Blade has already garnered considerable anticipation from players. The inclusion of customizable graphical options further demonstrates Shift Up’s commitment to delivering a tailored gaming experience for all players, whether they prioritize visual fidelity or responsive gameplay.
As one of the major releases for the PS5 in 2024, Stellar Blade promises to captivate players and immerse them in an unforgettable journey through its rich and dynamic world, all while allowing them to experience the game on their own terms.
