Devs Should Play More Console
Then they can see how frustrating red ranks really are. Nurse is almost completely useless now due to frame rate, slow sensitivity and the MUCH begged for-nerf to her base kit.
That leaves Billy and Spirit (for now).
Billy can still be easily looped through L-T walls and Spirit may not even be red rank viable after the nerfs.
Who’s left, Ghostface, Huntress? After 3000 hours of playing this game I’ve never felt the need to say how bad it is for killers on console as it is now.

Do they even play console is the bigger question. Killers are in general harder to play because of frame rate, sens ect. Also auto aim really screws you over half the time on console as well. They need some big optimization changes.

Wait, even more? Poor things.

I don’t play nurse but I play plague and the frame rate is disgusting especially on coldwind it feels like playing on 15 frames

Frame rate is the biggest issue. They really need to optimize the game for consoles. No reason it shouldn't run at a smooth 60 FPS when Gears 4 runs at 60 FPS 1080p no problem.

Frame rate feels worse depending on the Killer you play. It’s disappointing because Hag is my favorite Killer to play but it just feels too choppy to play her and certain other killers on Console.
Regarding Nurse I think buffing her on all platforms aside from PC is in order. She was already one of the least played killers at all ranks for us, now I’d go as far as to say she’s worse than Leatherface.

When console can run a huge open world like Skyrim, but can't run an indie game with one, boring and repetitive gamemode......feels bad

Worse Fortnite and rainbow six have many destructible and yet they run at 60 fps. Doom which is a 2016 game have very beautiful graphics and yet run at 60 fps. Resident evil 2R also run at 60 fps.

DOOM
I can't wait for Eternal. On the one hand, I hate they pushed it back because I have to wait. On the other, money is tight right now.

Definitely, demons have a debt to pay.

I have no issues with framerate on any killer on xbox and actually think the nurse works better after the "nerf"

Spirit will still be red rank viable. What the changes really did was widen the gap between good and bad Spirits.
A good Spirit will still outclass a survivor in every way.
A bad Spirit will now struggle because no free hit due to collision and the Survivors mindgames. They wont be able to piggy back off good addons and free hits.
You'll see a drop in Spirit players, but the good ones will remain dominant. It's not the nerf everyone wanted, but it does make other killers start to pop up again. The real question is how many good Spirits will remain and how many were just boosted animals.

Has anyone else played Demogorgon? My frames are so bad whenever I play him. I end up missing hits I normally would not miss because of how choppy it gets.

First, the game is made for PC, nurse was already worstto play on console, what just cant be changed. Second, assuming with such little changes that Spirit wont be RedRank viable shows to me that you are just salty, cause thats nothing that could happen at all with these changes. So instead of being salty and ranting without any second thought, you should pratice to be more versed with killers, cause you obviously can also have good matches with those "lowranked" killers.

Aim Assist is the true killer
Ever go to hit someone and the aim assist decides that the wall is the real target?

Or it won’t let you lunge and instead you end up swinging

Ah man thats my favorite
Its so easy to kill the air

Guess the entity feeds off of the airs hope

Frames also effect killers differently.
Doc runs at low frames thanks to all his visual effects.
Plague drops frames when vomiting.
Myers drops frames when hitting a different Evil Tier.
Wraith sometimes stutters during the "windstorm" effect of uncloaking.
Etc, etc, etc.

I'd really like it if they could give us some kind of update on console optimization and why it's taking so long. How can my PS4 easily run big games like God of War, Spider-Man, and MK11 but struggles with an indie game like DbD?
3 -
An easy answer for that is all those games come from bigger studios with more money.
God of war and Spider-Man are specifically made to run only for the ps4 so it's easy to optimize the game for one system and not many with different specs/hardware.
And MK11 is part of the big studios more money section.
Despite all I said it still doesn't make up for the game running poorly especially when all those other games are way more massive in every other aspect and dbd is much smaller

I don't think Nurse needs any buffs on any platform if she's the same on PC. I've seen some scary Nurses even on PS4. Sure, not many play her, but that's because she's more difficult to play on PS4 due to frame rate. That doesn't change the fact that someone can't be good at her and still smash survivors.

I hate the auto detect on console man... sometimes it doesnt even fo its job... today I swung through a Jake's body while they vaulted a pallet... most frustrating shiet ever...
Also yes they have QA on console... I've spoken to one who's in a Facebook community....

Try playing Nurse at red ranks on console then I’d love to hear what your experience was

Bloodlust is actually counterproductive, it’s supposed to help you but instead makes the frames drop so low that you end up missing a lunge/swing and lose the chase.
