Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has been looking pretty good lately. Thanks to a batch of new previews, there's renewed interest in Respawn's action adventure. From a visual standpoint, it seems like it's no slouch, too, and by the sound of it, PlayStation 4 Pro owners will have some options to toy with. If you're the proud owner of Sony's mid-generation upgrade, you'll reportedly be able to pick between performance and resolution.
We Got This Covered was one outlet that recently went hands-on with the title, and explains that it will feature the two different visual modes for Pro users. The performance mode will prioritise a smoother frame rate, aiming for 60 frames per second, while a "quality" mode will lock the frame rate to 30 with a boost in resolution. This isn't the first game to include these options, but it's nice to have both variations to allow players to pick their preferred experience.
We imagine that those running on a base PS4 will be locked into 30 frames per second at 1080p, but we'll have to wait and see. Do you have a PS4 Pro? Which visual mode will you pick in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order? Make your mind up in the comments below.

I'll be interested to see Digital Foundry's take on the performance mode. Sometimes stable a 30fps plays much better than unlocked framerates "up to" 60fps.
As for me, I will probably choose the quality mode - assuming the setting profiles will also be available for the Xbox One X version of the title as that is my preferred console for multi-platform releases where a Switch version isn't available - unless the PS4 Pro version ends up being the better choice (e.g. Kingdom Hearts 3 played better on PS4 Pro).
Nicee, like god of war and tomb raider, I choose performance mode all the way
Yeah, despite owning a PS4 Pro and therefore having the option, I'll likely stick with a locked 30fps, thanks. This is Star Wars after all, so it'll give it a real cinematic quality.
Given the option I’ll always take visual fidelity over fps as long as the 30 is solid.
I'd imagine 30 is the way to go here as very few of these get anywhere near locking to 60fps with such options, but nice for those who don't mind an unlocked framerate
Dang, this game's combat similar to Dark Soul and Seikro because i never played those games after i heard about those games are brutal challenge
@Playstation5 Respawn have confirmed that they've responded to concerns over combat difficulty and added in a "Story" mode, for players who don't want challenging encounters to prevent progress.
@RogerRoger really ? do you mind give me link for that ? oh nvm. i found it. thank for let me know
@Playstation5 You're welcome, and sorry I wasn't quicker on finding the source for you! I read it in a Eurogamer interview with Stig Asmussen, which was posted a day ago.
@GamingFan4Lyf I agree - I often end up selecting the 'Quality' mode because I can't stand playing games that play at 45-55 with occasional 60fps if you stand still but all cut scenes play at 30fps regardless...
A constant 30fps looks and feels smoother. Input lag maybe a bot slower but its consistent and something you get used to very quickly. I can't stand the visual jarring that unstable frame rates give - either judder or screen tearing.
Of course the occasional dropped frame here and there isn't perfect but is bearable but with the weak (relatively) CPU's, it's very difficult for games to hit 60fps with a lot of AI and physics/particle effects etc going on...
