I have, and Platinum's environmental art direction tends to be terrible.
Maybe that was its problem, because it's the worst performing Platinum game outside of Bayo PS3.
Not necessarily. It just depends on how well it translates to keyboard and mouse. Some games do so really well (and not just first/third person shooters either), though I can't see this game being one of them!
Wonderful 101's environments actually look really nice, but I think that's it.

So...
Because I'm a wishful, do nothing-know nothing jackass, I'm just going to pop this in here as a reminder that anything is possible. Initial thread. Success Thread.
Just saying... how bad do y'all want future Vanquish PC at over 60fps?

60 FPS on console doesn't come cheap.
These games all have slow motion as prominent mechanics, even! Would be neat to see.

I'd certainly say it's their best effort in that regard.
I mean, they were originally designed for systems that have 512MB of RAM.
Nier is gorgeous, though.
I use nVidia DSR (check global Manage 3D Settings) with a factor of 4x (for 5k) and a smoothness of 0, haven't messed with the custom resolutions option since DSR was released.
You have to go to Global 3d settings and set your DSR factors to some multiplier. I currently have a 1440p monitor, so I (think) setting it to 2.00 allows you to downsample from 4k if you want to. Then you should be able to mess with custom resolutions from the Geforce experience app.

I would commit my life to Vanquish mods
Like I would just spend the next 40 years adding levels and models and never have to play anything else

Yup! It makes sense, it's just always a shocker to see what's actually going on when you have all this clarity. I'm sincerely impressed at how well-matched the assets are to a 720p resolution.
Bayo 2 did away with the piss filter, and even the environments were more beautiful and varied.

Bit expensive for just the first game. None the less I will be supporting it.

2.00 results in 5k on 1440p Display.
$20 for a game is expensive? Huh.
NieR:Automata had plenty of shooting in it and it was still broken.
Have fun if they finally release Vanquish and it's only playable with a dual-analog controller I guess.
They only need to get this right the one time. Aren't all their games based on the same engine?
It probably wouldn't be high-effort, they just have to actually do the work for it.
How do you play any game with a keyboard & mouse?
They also forgot that many PC users are not using 16:9 displays, which was less of a problem for Nier. (only a stretched HUD)Bit better. Sega Europe realized that people like having an in-game borderless windowed option
Don't do this. If you reduce the filter strength below the default, you're introducing aliasing.
Disabling it means you're using nearest neighbor downsampling which is the lowest possible quality and has a ton of aliasing that shouldn't be there.
I was under the impression that what I'm doing would lead to cleaner scaling because I'm going from 5120x2880 -> 2560x1440, a perfect integer scale. Is that not the case?

Yeah it is a known bug, built in MSAA doesn't work.
I set it to 1. The default at 33 is waaaay to blurred out, but at zero you basically might as well not downsample.
Ah, ok. Thanks for the reply, guess I'll down sample instead.
From everything I have read about downsampling I also thought this was true, the blur option is only there to mask non-integer scaling artifacts.

It doesn't hurt to have it on, it just makes those resolutions selectable in games.
There are some very old games that won't run properly with DSR on (I'm talking 90's early 2000's old) but other then that it's all good.
You can keep it on at all times, it will only take effect when you choose a higher resolution than your display's native based on which mutliplier you chose (i.e. x1.5, x2.0 etc.). Depending on your hardware you can downsample to a more or lesser effect, it also depends on the game in question and how much it taxes your system.

Maybe the wrong thread for it, but every time a game defaults to a DSR resolution (or GeForce Experience applies it), it makes the Steam overlay (and most text in-game) completely useless on my 24" monitor. Any way around that, or just "get a bigger screen"?
If I have the room in my 970's memory, I'd love to downsample.

Is there a decent tutorial on this? I recently got a X34 and a 1070 and am still learning how to tweak, etc.
For Nvidia users, someone posted a SGSSAA/OGSSAA/HSAA flag on Guru3D (16:9 only):

Use Steam Big Picture to fix that.

I hope they fix the MSAA bug soon. I was wondering why I was seeing jaggies despite having the settings maxed out. Disabled SSAO, though.
I thought Bayo 2 had very pretty environments. To each his own.

amazing wishlist'd might have to buy soon.
Can someone explain this in layman's terms? Does it just activate a form of anti aliasing?

I downloaded some nvidia inspector app, but I'm lost. Is there a better tutorial than the OP of the linked thread? Bayonetta is (understandably) not in the list of the games, etc...
There may be, but unfortunately I don't know of one off the top of my head for DSR. Here is how I use it though; I will only do so if I can achieve my desired FPS at 4x scaling with the DSR smoothness set to 0.
This is because if you don't use an integer scale (i.e. a 2/3/4/5 etc. times or greater whole number multiplier of your horizontal and vertical native resolution respectively, such as Ultra HD 3840x2160 being exactly 2 times 1920x1080 both horizontally and vertically, and 4 times the total pixel count of multiplying 1920 and 1080) then you get artifacts from uneven scaling, thus being forced to use the blur filter (DSR Smoothness) to mitigate the artifacting.
I don't want to add a post process like blur ala FXAA to my image when the point of downsampling is to get very clean and sharp image quality. Now if you end up liking the image quality of a non-integer scaled image with a nominal amount of smoothing added then more power to you, you'll just have to fool around with it to balance your desired FPS and image quality.
Blurs the game too much for my tastes. Looks nice, though.

I created a new profile named BAYONETTA, to match the app name. Set Antialiasing compatibility to 0x000012C1. AA mode to override, setting to 4x, transparency multisampling enabled, supersampling set to 4x SGSS. I hit apply changes and run the game, and it still looks just as jaggy.

Edit: There's a button to add the application to the current profile at the top.
