Helldivers 2is one of the most popular live service titles online at the moment. This game is not unique, but it does everything perfectly. With this perfection and continuous support from developers, it has reached incredible heights of popularity. Then there’sFinal Fantasy VII: Rebirth,the latest game in theFinal Fantasyremake trilogy. This game is popular thanks to its brand and fanbase.

REBIRTH follows the story of Cloud and his friends after they escape Midgar

Both of these games do what they do incredibly well. People who have purchased these games are no doubt very happy with what they got. Both of these games are incredibly successful and satisfying to play, but one of them comes out as a clean winner, despite having a huge flaw.

Final Fantasy VII: Rebirthis an incredible game with a noticeable flaw!

Square Enix used to hype people up during game shows with those beautiful-looking elaborate CGI trailers. Fans used to think that those games would never be possible. In fact, when the announcement forFinal Fantasy VII: Remakehappened,it was also done using a CGI trailer.

Years later, when the game actually launched, to everyone’s surprise, it looked better than that CGI trailer. Unreal Engine 4 gave developers the ability to build a highly detailed world with lifelike character models. That game was no doubt a critical and commercial success.

But that was not the end of the story; fans also got an announcement that the remaining installments of the remake trilogy would come at later dates. Eventually,Final Fantasy VII: Rebirthwas announced, and it blew everyone away; it looked even better.

The biggest reason for it looking so good was that it was exclusive to PlayStation 5, so developers did not have to worry about catering to the PS4 audience. No doubt this game became as big a success asRemakewhen it was launched. Fans loved the gameplay changes and everything else that came with them.

WhileHelldivers 2is a good game and it looks decent enough, it fails to offer as much depth asFinal Fantasy VII: Rebirth. Let’s not forget that Rebirth is part of a celebrated and storied franchise; on the other hand,Helldivers 2is an online game that has some basic lore behind it.

PlayStation 5 - Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth

Hence,Final Fantasy VII: Rebirthwins overHelldivers 2in every way, be it gameplay, story, visuals, or music. But it is not able to do much when it comes to running smoothly. The game has two graphic modes: one is performance, and the other is graphics. Both of these modes allow for a varied experience.

In graphics mode, it targets 4K resolution and runs at 30 FPS. In performance mode, it runs at 60 FPS by bringing down the resolution to the ballpark of 1080p. Now, 1080p is not a bad thing per se, but it does not look very good. Some fans have said that in performance mode, it looks like they havesmeared Vaseline on the screen.Digital Foundry suggeststhat this might be due to this game using some proprietary upscaling technology that does not work so well.

Helldivers 2runs at similar settings too: 1080p at 60 FPS, but somehow it looks clearer. Maybe the developers can fix this issue withFinal Fantasy VII: Rebirth?

Dragon’s Dogma 2does not do any better either

Capcom’s latest role-playing open-world game,Dragon’s Dogma 2, is also pretty good-looking. It plays pretty well too; its gameplay mechanics have their own charm. It appears Capcom really put its RE engine to work on this title.

But they made a mistake by giving it only one visual mode. It targets 4K but with an uncapped frame rate. This means sometimes it would have 30, other times 45, but never 60. This can give players a very unstable experience with this title. Let’s see if Capcom decides to fix it.
