I preferred the latter visually as it appeared brighter than the “Quality” mode, although I saw what they were going for with the usage of post-processing. Unfortunately, even under “Quality” mode, the game’s framerate starts to dip to the point where it’s best to keep it under “Performance” mode. Subnautica: Below Zero - PlayStation 5 Direct Capture Performance Takes A Dip In Some Aspects In “Quality” mode, this is made clearer as realistic shadows and anti-aliasing make the game feel more realistic while keeping its cartoon atmosphere. For a Unity engine game, the game pushes the engine to the limits as vivid colors flourish and pop in high fidelity. The PS5 offers improved visuals compared to the PS4 and Switch counterparts, running at a solid framerate in Performance mode while doing little to deviate from the colorful and impressive graphics.
Below Zero is way on the opposite side of that spectrum, absolutely refusing to tell you more than what the protagonist already knows arriving at a foreign location which is absolutely nothing.
#SUBNAUTICA BELOW ZERO PS4 VS PS5 MOVIE#
At certain times, video games are guilty of “holding your hand” through a lot of the story to the point where it feels like an interactive movie rather than a game in which you explore your surroundings. Subnautica: Below Zero is one of those games where players will need to take their time with understanding what it is the game allows you to do, as well as what the game wants you to do.
