Gaming updates: Control Resonant performance and Marvel’s Wolverine controversy
Technical comparisons of the game Control Resonant reveal performance variations across different gaming consoles. On Xbox, the Series X offers two modes: a performance mode targeting 60 FPS at 864p native resolution, and a quality mode targeting 30 FPS at 1260p. The Xbox Series S is limited to a single 30 FPS configuration at 864p. In comparison to Sony hardware, the Xbox Series X performs similarly to the PlayStation 5, while the PlayStation 5 Pro provides the highest overall graphical quality and image clarity.
Separately, Insomniac’s upcoming title, Marvel’s Wolverine, is facing criticism regarding player autonomy. Online footage has sparked debate over excessive assistance, specifically during a motorcycle sequence where the game appears to navigate the character through obstacles and combat almost entirely without player input. Critics have labeled this level of assistance as “handholding,” noting that the character can navigate crashes and attacks automatically.
