As soon as you go into a big open space however – the initial descent towards the ship after the main tutorial immediately flags this – the framerate takes a terrifying plummet and while it’s still playable, it’s really quite far away from where it should be.Īnother technical issue is the stuttering. Aiming to render a dynamic 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition only seems to hit this framerate target when you’re indoors or in smaller areas that don’t really have much in the way of LOD (Level of Detail) coming in from the horizon. The bigger problem is the performance mode. The cinematic mode (which thankfully doesn’t lock at 24 frames per second), instead aims 30 frames per second at 4K resolution and more or less hits that target though drops do occur from time to time.
The problem, however, is that neither mode is where it needs to be from a performance perspective and the second mode, which is certainly one of the selling points for this edition of the game, needs a whole heap of work.įurther Reading – Upcoming PS5 Games – The Most Anticipated PS5 Games Coming Soon In 2023 As I have mentioned already, The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition comes with two visual modes, a cinematic mode that provides a native 4K resolution presentation at 30 frames per second and a second mode that provides a dynamic 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. So by all accounts, The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition should be the definitive version of Obsidian’s labour of love and in so many ways it is, but there is one fairly horrendous technical oversight that hamstrings this otherwise stellar re-release of a sci-fi RPG great.
THE OUTER WORLDS SPACERS CHOICE EDITION PATCH PS4
In every way that counts The Outer Worlds remains a gripping RPG that everybody should play and for a deeper dive on its mechanics and narrative, I’d point you towards our original PS4 review. Like any Obsidian title worth its salt, The Outer Worlds prides itself on letting players define everything about their adventure, from the look, background and abilities of their protagonist through to the litany of different choices you’ll make in the various quests, side-quests and companion specific missions you’ll encounter along the way. This also extends to the level of player agency and non-linear storytelling that The Outer World prescribes. With its sharply written characters and consumerist satire, The Outer Worlds remains as relentlessly engaging in 2023 as it did in 2019. Obsidian Entertainment’s stellar sci-fi RPG tells a solar system spanning story of lost colonist who, after being locked in cryo-sleep for 70 odd years, is awoken to discover that not only have their family and friends remained in stasis, but a gargantuan conspiracy has been unearthed that points to corporate involvement in the future destruction of the colony. Indeed, the essence of The Outer Worlds remains undimmed in years since its release on PS4. This is significant as it provides players with ample creative latitude to explore a wide range of new skills, abilities and stat increases and allows them to fashion a super powerful character in the process.įurther Reading – New PS5, PS4 Games Release Dates In 2023 And Beyond – All Upcoming PS5, PS4, PSVR2 Games Another change that has implemented is the raising of the overall level cap to 99.
Enemy AI has been improved with many more encounters resulting in enemies actually attempting to flank and take cover on the regular, rather than just blindly charging towards you with their guns blazing. Away from the visual side of things, other more subtle improvements have also been made to The Outer Worlds under the hood as well.
