Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Review – Kaioken Times Eight! (PS4)
Dragon Ball games aren?t rare, and in fact, some are pretty good. Newly-released Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is one of the most ambitious titles to adopt the franchise to date, though, as it covers multiple major story arcs from the anime, features hundreds of characters, and spans dozens of hours of playtime. But is this a case of trying to cast too wide of a net"
Unreal Shading
Unreal Engine 4 was chosen as the development platform for Kakarot. This allows for reliable performance throughout the adventure. The frame rate is capped at 30 fps, despite it being a fight-centric title. There are enhancements for the PS4 Pro, though what those are isn?t really clear. A more steady frame rate and higher resolution are a given, but HDR support is unfortunately nowhere to be found. The art style is the only sensible type for an anime-based series, cel-shaded. Seeing Goku, Chi-Chi, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, and many other characters rendered this way is a treat. The environment is lacking in detail, but character models are superb. Some cutscenes are done so well, it almost looks just like the anime at certain points. Other times, mostly during side quests, things look much less impressive. Mostly, animations look a bit off, just enough to remind you that you are playing a video game and not watching a show.
