Depression Quest 2 to only run at 900p, 30fps on Xbox One
Well, dear readers, it is a dark day in the gaming world. Controversy erupted on all sides when developer Zoe Quinn announced that the long-awaited sequel to the Depression Quest series would be launching first as an Early Access title, and then only at 900p, 30fps on the Xbox One.
We reached out to several gamers to hear their reactions. Most were quite negative.
“It’s fucking bullshit,” said Scooter Riptide, a student at Braun’s Academy for Misbehaving Children. “All the kids in class have PS4s and get to play it at 1080p. I can’t even look at these fucking shit graphics fuck Microsoft this is unplayable.”
Not everyone was quite so skeptical. “Haha, SUCK IT, fags,” replied Damien Nightraven. “I love it when the Xbox One version is shittier because I paid for a different console than that one.”
By far, the harshest reception came from the PC-gaming community, who immediately flooded Twitter with criticisms after Miss Quinn revealed that the PC version would not only carry over that thirty-fps lock, but would additionally require Direct X 27-compatible graphics cards to play.
“This is a bullshit port!” tweeteted one user.
“I can’t believe my GTX 980TI won’t be enough for this game,” tweeted another.
In defense of the steep requirements, Zoe informs us that the pages in the PC version will be animated and look like real turning pages and, additionally, there may even be animated sprites on some parts of the game if the stretch goals are met.
