Interesting. It seems logical, on the face of it. We have a few PS5 guys here. I'll tag @hayhor for one.
I'm interested in hearing your takes. Not really in your opinions about the idea of lowering the aim assist strength, but your observations of whether the enhanced video performance from next gen is enough for any such change to make sense, as it does for PC.
@pandareno1999 The 60 fps is certainly pretty stable and the rendering distance seems better, so I mean there is a notable performance difference between ps4/ps5.
Now when we look at the reality of the matter which is that not everyone in the PC community is running top spec setups then yeah, I would say next gen consoles are probably are on par with what the average PC user is running in terms of hardware.
Lowering AA to 0.4 isn't that a huge leap anyway speaking as somebody who has played every AA strength setting available.
@pandareno1999I actually don’t mind it and the PS5’s performance is great having a solid 60fps. I don’t think that it would change anything that drastically. However, will this change affect the rest of the consoles or just the newer gen consoles? How about the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X players? Having discrepancies between console performances isn’t a new thing as well as playing on a switch is a nightmare for me with 540p resolution with low 20s fps. LOL.
I won’t buy a new tv/monitor just to play apex at 120fps too so the next gen version of apex isn’t as desirable to me as it wouldn’t change anything (for me).
I figure the link is a typical Apex "news" clickbait video? I didn't watch it The reason I asked my question is that the OP implies that this would only apply to next gen consoles. That's what I find potentially controversial and interesting.
@Cheese9Man OK so the implication is that it is related to next gen but not limited to. That seems logical. The notion that the "oops we nerfed aim assist" bug may in fact have been a stealth test of some sort isn't a hard one to reach. I was going to suggest the same thing!
Since we're giving opinions, I don't really care. I didn't feel terribly affected by the bug, Like with any incremental setting change, things felt a bit off and would take some adjustment.
@pandareno1999I would be fine with .4 AA and would happily move to it for 120 fps on my ps5. I've tried it and it doesn't change anything for me other than maybe I adjust my ALCs a little.
PS5 already is enhanced vs the PS4 version. I can see more in the distance with greater detail now due to the locked 60 fps. People on ps4 not using the performance display would be shocked at how often they are less than 50 fps and dropping frames(hint: almost all the time).
I'm not holding my breath anymore on this update tho. Thordan makes a lot of clickbait daily videos now, some of which are completely wrong. If he goes the ddos route he will have fully converted into the waterboy.
