Visually, the LastGen versions are likely to lag behind the PC, Xbox Series, and PS5, but that is probably no surprise.
Fans are thrilled by performance and transparency of the developers
This is how fans react to the video: The comments on YouTube are very positive. Many commenters are impressed by the performance of Dying Light 2 on the old consoles.
They praise how surprisingly smooth it looks while the game world still feels alive. Most are very satisfied with the quality shown.
A nearly bigger topic is that developer Techland has made a specific video about it at all. In the eyes of numerous fans, this is a positive example of transparency in the development and marketing of video games in today’s time.
Why is this so important to them? In recent years, the number of high-budget games that have been released in at least a problematic technical state has increased.
With the still high number of cross-gen titles that have been released on old and new consoles, there are also increasing problems with the versions for Xbox One and PS4.
A prominent example is the RPG Cyberpunk 2077, which performed so poorly on the old consoles that it is still not recommended, and was even removed from the PlayStation Store around its release.
Dying Light 2 is therefore a counterpoint for some fans to opaque releases and an example of open communication.
- Caleb 72301: “It’s always nice when a developer has nothing to hide, this game is going to be fantastic.”
- Stako: “I never expected this video. Just that puts Techland at the forefront, all video game releases should have such things.”
- Diabloical Meek: “So, ladies and gentlemen, this is how you communicate with a community. No shit, addressing concerns, listening to them and giving them what they want. Well done, Techland! Still the only AAA studio I trust!”
- meatslaper: “I really appreciate how transparent you are with the old generation. We need to trust some game companies nowadays, after the questionable practices that CDPR has pulled off.”
Scrolling through the comments, you find nothing but praise for the developers. The video was thus a complete success for developer Techland.
This also fits with the overall mood, as Dying Light 2 is one of the most anticipated games on Steam.
When does Dying Light 2 release? The release is on February 4th. The survival game will be available for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, and PS4.
By now, we also know when the exact start times are and when the preload begins. Here you can find an overview with all the information.
What do you think of the video? Are you satisfied with what the video shows? Do you agree with the comments? Are you playing Dying Light 2 on the older consoles?
Dying Light 2: Stay Human is not only set to release on PC and the current consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, but also on PS4 and Xbox One. But how does the version perform on the old machines? Developer Techland has now shown this in a video.
What does the video show? In the gameplay scenes, you can see some combat and parkour scenes from Dying Light 2. A total of four consoles are showcased:
- PS4 and PS4 Pro
- Xbox One and Xbox One X
Players can see how the game performs on the old consoles and what visual differences exist.
The first comments under the video are very positive, and fans are genuinely excited. But you can see for yourself first:
Dying Light 2 also looks good on Xbox One and PS4
How does Dying Light 2 perform on LastGen? Based on the video, precise technical details cannot be given. However, the scenes show a range of situations that you will regularly encounter in Dying Light 2.
Therefore, the video mainly consists of parkour and combat scenes that stress the performance the most.
We do not know the exact frame rates, but at first glance, Dying Light 2 runs surprisingly well on each of the tested consoles. There are no significant graphical errors or performance drops noticeable in the video.
There are certainly differences. It is clear that the versions for Xbox One X and PS4 Pro naturally run more stable and at a higher resolution than the standard versions. At times, sharper textures can also be seen.
Visually, the LastGen versions are likely to lag behind the PC, Xbox Series, and PS5, but that is probably no surprise.
