PC players will be able to push The Evil Within beyond 30 frames per second via debug commands, but are advised against doing so by publisher Bethesda and developer Tango Softworks.
In a recent forum post, Bethesda released lots of additional details about The Evil Within, including the game’s frame rate and aspect ratio on PC, and the ability to alter them.
“Shinji Mikami and the team at Tango designed The Evil Within to be played at 30fps and to utilize an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 for all platforms. The team has worked the last four years perfecting the game experience with these settings in mind.
“For PC players, we’ll provide debug commands on how you can alter the framerate and aspect ratio, but these commands and changes are not recommended or supported and we suggest everyone play the game as it was designed and intended for the best experience.”
The post also addressed the game’s 2.35:1 ‘letterbox’ aspect ratio.
“The letterboxing (a 2:35:1 aspect ratio) is used for gameplay purposes, as certain elements display in the black areas of the screen. On PC, you can turn off the bars and force the game to render full-screen. However this option is not supported. We’re keeping the ability to turn off bars as a console-only command that we will share at launch.”
The Evil Within launches next Tuesday, October 14 on PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
