You Planning on Getting One of the New Consoles? I would be kinda Mad.
I'm on PC and console (mostly PC), but if someone was thinking about getting one of these new consoles (Xbox Series X / PS5) I would voice your opinion to EA on wanting better settings, now.
These consoles have very good hardware (CPU, GPU, SSD NVME). They can run the game easily at 120 FPS at 2560 x 1440. I don't see why they couldn't reach 144 and/ or 165 FPS at that resolution.
I'm running a GTX EVGA 1070 and a Ryzen 3600X (stock settings) with Apex Legends (most settings low, V-Sync of etc, no ini settings changed) and can hit 2560 x 1440P at 120+ and my system is not even close to these next gen systems in terms of power and performance.
From EA
Apex Legends will see a “performance boost” and run at 1440p on both next-gen consoles. But EA says the battle royale game will see more improvements next year. Like Squadrons, Apex will have cross-platform and cross-generation play.
If no one voices their opinion on this, next gen consoles will be stuck with loads of graphical settings they might not want and/ or need.
Apex Legends on consoles should have an open graphical menu like PC or more settings. To the players who like playing on consoles and in PC lobbies, You should expect the same settings PC gets.
Top PC players are just turning everything off to maximize their frames per second. Even most on Twitch mess with their ini files to reduce most all textures (if you ever watched a streamer with their game looking like N64, this is how they do it, the ini files).
Consoles need to expect more from their game developers. No one is on the same playing field anymore with crossplay in most all games (plus all the old consoles on the same servers). You shouldn't ever settle for 60 FPS ever again for competitive video game.
