Oh, the drama! The gaming world is buzzing with scandal over the soon-to-drop action RPG, Crimson Desert. It seems the developers are steering clear of showing any gameplay footage on the base versions of the PS5 and Xbox Series. This juicy tidbit comes via DetectiveSeeds, a user on platform X, who cited expert insights from Digital Foundry.
Naturally, the gaming community is in a tizzy. Many are raising eyebrows at what they call "intentional frame-hiding," viewing it as a potential red flag. The situation stirs haunting memories of the infamous Cyberpunk 2077 launch debacle. Players are hitting pause on their pre-orders and sounding the alarm for fellow gamers to hold off until the first independent reviews roll in.
“It's like déjà vu all over again. We're not falling for another broken launch,” shared a concerned gamer.
While the developers' actions are causing a stir, the real shocker is that only a tiny 2% of gamers own the advanced versions of these consoles. The rest are left hoping that Crimson Desert delivers at least 1080p resolution with 40 to 60 frames per second on standard consoles. For those dreaming of a stable experience with ray tracing, it's time to upgrade that PC or shell out for some pricey new hardware.
