Instead of the usual 1080p resolution for triple-A titles, Bandai Namco has decided to dial it down a notch, offering Tekken 7 at 900p.
The guys at Digital foundry were recently given a chance to test out Tekken 7 on PSVR as well as do a technical analysis of the title. The version they played was considered ‘master’ but the title is still subject to change before it’s release in two months.
While doing the analysis, Digital Foundry counted each individual pixel on the PS4 version, and found the resolution to be running at 900p, resulting in a softer image quality. Running the game at a lower resolution means the game runs at a mostly stable 60 fps providing smoother gameplay. There were no specifics on the PS4 Pro version of the game so it is possible that a native 1080p resolution will be reached if you run Tekken on the buffed up PS4.
In other news, Tekken 7 producer Katsuhiro Harada said in an interview with IGN, that PSVR wouldn’t be as fun as you would think.
If you could imagine that you have some kind of a martial artist or pro boxer or something come and do shadowboxing right in front of your face, you can then probably begin to see how that’s not a very entertaining or enjoyable experience. Added to that, you’d be knocked into the air for, like, an aerial juggle or whatever – it’s really jarring and not very fun.
Tekken 7 is set to launch on PS4, Xbox One and PC on June 2nd, 2017.
