Why not just give console players graphics options?

Judgement Judgement
in General Discussions

As a predominant console plebeian who plays some games on his PC - Dead By Daylight included - it always heartens me to see a game offer graphics options. Not just the usual ‘gamma and that’s the only option’ graphics options. It’s rare to see games on console that let you decide on a wide range of graphics options, such as terrain, model detail, foliage, frame rate cap, and so on.

Dead By Daylight is known to be terribly optimised on any graphics setting above ‘low’, so why not make all default graphics, including those for console, low, or at least give console players the option to choose between standard and low graphics?

As much as you may argue that it can ‘give an unfair advantage’, it’s always the player’s choice as to whether they choose the graphics settings to be low or not. At the same time however, the commonness of using low is what indirectly makes Trapper weak as his traps can be visible on low but not on others - but that can be resolved by buffing Trapper in general, which is a whole other topic.


Also V-sync for PC plz

    I dont know why they havent fixed bs stain going through walls yet.It removes so much from the mindgame potential,BUT at the same it differentiates good killers from the bad ones so it kinda does add a bigger skillcap and more skillful interactions is def what this game needs
