Lords of the Fallen is looking like a good bet for players seeking their grimdark fix on PS5. With there still no sign of a solid release date for Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, the dark fantasy epic is shaping up to be a real treat for masochists seeking a mechanical challenge. It's been confirmed to feature the performance and quality modes we've come to expect on PS5, which is another good sign.
Speaking to WCCFTech, executive producer Saul Gascon discussed what the game's running under the hood and what players can expect from the game when it launches on 13th October:
"The performance mode goes at 60 frames per second, and 1080p resolution upscaled, which is kind of the standard in the industry. The quality mode is 2K (1440P) upscaled, running at 30 FPS. But even if you play at 60, Lords of the Fallen looks really good."
Combat in Lords of the Fallen looks suitably weighty and should keep players looking for a meaty action RPG occupied during the last months of 2023. What do you think, is this one on your hit list? Let us know in the comments section below.

FINE I’ll take 1080p only if it’s locked at 60fps!
It is extremely concerning that none of these current gen games can't even reach 4k30 or 1440p60. First one being Jedi survivor, plague tale requiem, remnant 2 and now this one
PS5 PRO might be needed this gen after all🤔
I have been starting to get used to 30fps again. I'm honestly finding the increased graphic fidelity more appealing.
The Callisto Protocol looked amazing with the ray-traced shadows and reflections. For a horror game, I felt that was much more atmospheric than 60fps - especially when it's not a fast-paced action title.
I think I am going to just start using the default selection for a game. If it happens to be 30fps and the input latency isn't unbearable (here's looking at you Ghostwire Tokyo), then I am just sticking with it.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is feeling pretty good at 30fps, so far, as well.
For me, 30fps needs to be locked, frame-pacing even, and input latency is as low as possible.
60fps!! ***** yeahhh.. 1080p upscaled.. whatever, just 60fps is appreciated alot
@Randinator123 ok most ps5 games reach 4k@30 and 1080p up towards 1800p @60. It would be really nice to have all games running at 4k@60 but i think peoples expectations of the ps5's performance in terms of cost (delivering an outstanding console at a very reasonable price) are unreasonable to be fair. You want 4k@60 then spend a few grand and build a gaming rig.
Every game really needs a 40fps mode. I know not everyone has a 120Hz tv, but these tvs are getting cheaper and more available. And really, the difference between 30fps and 40fps is huge!
I'll take 1440p40 over 2160p30 or 1080p60 at every opportunity! Especially if the 40fps mode maintains the bells and whistles of the "quality" modes.
@Olmaz Absolutely this. It makes such a difference I don't see why it can't be an option for 99% of games nowadays. I mean, I'm no programmer/developer, I have no idea how difficult it is to implement but every game that's included it has benefitted. Games like Jedi Survivor, Remnant and now this could really use it.
N.i.c.e. the lords of the fallen looks like a big improvement over the original.more video games is always welcome.word up son
@kungfumongoose I mean, I'm sure it's a nightmare to optimise any graphical mode for consoles. To make sure it's stable, to get the right graphical settings so it doesn't get under 30fps unless in exceptional situation (think something like : "Jim, should we set the particles to 12.9 or 13.2, it looks like the game is at 28fps on the second room within the waterfall temple when it's set at 14?").
So any extra mode is going to be a lot of work, and a lot of quality control. So unless you expect early buyers to do the majority of quality control (ahem...), this is time and money. All for a 40fps mode that concerns only a fraction of your player base.
It makes for great DF content, though, so that's good publicity.
@Northern_munkey well of course because they're cross gen games, I'm talking current gen only
@Randinator123 no you are talking nonsense. There are lots of current gen games that perform how i stated and you dont need me to name them as its easy enough for you to find. Stop talking rubbish.
@Olmaz Spot on... actually Forspoken runs very well at 120Hz mode, the difference between performance and quality is little. People talk about input latency but then again, you need a HDMI 2.1 capable telly, also they are comparing with a PS4 system. Hogwarts Legacy at balanced mode (40fops) is brilliant, so it is Ghostwire Tokyo.
@Northern_munkey know the difference between a cross gen and a current gen game before you talk
@Randinator123 really?
