According to an interview with a developer from Ubisoft Massive, the console versions of Tom Clancy’s The Division will give the player the option to disable some of the lighting effects so as to get better framerates. The interview is available on Team Epiphany’s YouTube channel, recorded during The Division New York Event.
The developer said, “It’s actually great that we’ve given the option to disable certain lighting aspects to improve frame rate in the console version, which I don’t know if any other game does that. So if you want to choose frame rate over, like, visuals you can if you want.”
This will surely raise some concerns among console gamers. It’s not that this is the first time graphics options have been presented to gamers, however these options have always been in favor of lowering graphics to improve performance. What gamers want is to have the best visuals optimized for performance, not ways to lower graphics!
