Support NeoGAF

[DonJorginho]

Not the biggest news ever but I know a lot of you care about this stuff as do I so thought I'd share this little tidbit of info.

ShopTo are a leading UK Gaming Retailer and have a partnership with PlayStation, they just released their little teaser emails prior to pre-orders going live tomorrow at 10am.

Under the previews of the boxart they had paragraphs covering features summary, nothing we hadn't already seen before, until we got into PS5 features, here's what they said, I'll bold the video settings section.

- Feel your journey through the Norse realms, made possible by immersive haptic feedback and adaptive trigger functionality.

- Take advantage of multidirectional 3D Audio; hear enemies approaching from any direction.

- Bask in the beautiful worlds you travel through, brought to life by precise art direction and arresting attention to detail.

- Switch between full 4K resolution at a targeted 30 frames per second, or dynamic resolution upscaled to 4K at a targeted 60fps

So there we have it

Native 4K + 30fps

or

Dynamic 4K Upscaled + 60fps

Happy with the results or were you expecting more for a crossgen title?

 

[DeepEnigma]

And 40fps later with a patch along with NG+

This has been a pattern lately.

 

[Tripolygon]

Good to see more optional 60fps settings.

 

[lh032]

Dynamic 4K Upscaled + 60fps

 

[DonJorginho]

And 40fps later with a patch along with NG+

This has been a pattern lately.

Agreed, this is done to ensure the game comes out on time and it also ensures the game will get more popularity and news space later down the line when they release post launch updates.

 

[Three]

If native 4k is the only difference then I'm going 60fps.

 

[Ellery]

We all gonna put it at 30fps and see how crisp the resolution looks and then we move 2 inches we say "nah can't do that. lets switch to performance mode for that 60fps".

 

[Represent.]

4K30 baby

Pure visual fidelity

4K crispness

 

[MikeM]

Glad to see a 60fps mode. Is there a vrr mode to unlock it completely?

 

[DonJorginho]

60 FPS all the way baby, only psychopaths will sit there and suffer the wrath of 30fps.

 

[balls of snow]

Will any sony fp besides Insomniac gonna have gameplay with ray tracing.

 

[The_hunter]

[ManaByte]

4K30 baby

Pure visual fidelity

4K crispness

30fps.

 

[ChiefDada]

Lol I just posted about this... I was really hoping they shared the different features between the two modes. They're really going the extra mile to keep info under wraps, likely waiting until full fledged gameplay walkthrough to share more.

 

[DenchDeckard]

60 fps on launch for this game....I'll risk it for God of war....

Then I can feel salty when all the patches come 6 months later and it runs even better.

 

[SlimySnake]

Why dynamic 4k and not 4kcb like the first game? It was fine.

And no mention of vrr? This game better ship with vrr and a 40 fps patch on day one.

 

[Jormatar]

As long as the 60fps is stable, I'm happy.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Got my 60 FPS, that's all I need

 

[Bartski]

did you say dynamic 4Kx60?

 

[CJ_75]

This is why it is released in 2022. Will play it in 2023. Same as with HFW, waited a few months for the proper version.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

No 120fps mode = No buy

 

[DeepEnigma]

Technology (solutions) evolve.

And okay, Riky. You know it's probably not going to at launch.

 

[Fess]

Only concern is that horrifying word: "targeted". But Sony 1st party haven't missed the target by much so far this gen.

 

[Tomi]

I want to see PC graphics settings

 

[Belthazar]

I'll wait for the 40fps patch, thanks.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

I want to see PC graphics settings

Sure, in 2030.

 

[ReBurn]

Seems to be the norm. Now to start begging for 40 fps mode.

It doesn't need VRR if the framerate never drops

 

[Pelta88]

I'm on LG OLED so 4K 30 is my go to outside of FPS.

 

[Fbh]

Ah yes, the basic resolution/fps sliders that make the game $10 more expensive on ps5 for some reason.

 

[R6Rider]

60fps for me.

 

[Max_Po]

I will take 1080p 120 fps like Uncharted collection...

 

[Moses85]

 

[RoadHazard]

Sure, it's a cross-gen game, so that's 100% expected.

It was great, but it wasn't perfect. If they have a better solution with less artifacts, I'm ok with it.

VRR is always a good option. All game scenes aren't the same. VRR allows developers to be a little more ambitious with their visuals without worrying about the limitations of a locked framerate during heavy scenes. A perfectly locked framerate throughout an entire game most certainly means performance is left on the table somewhere.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Native 4k at 30fps club here.

 

[roosnam1980]

surely the 30 fps mode will have other ADDED fidelity not present in the 60fps mode

 

[winjer]

4K30 baby

Pure visual fidelity

4K crispness

30 fps....

 

[SLB1904]

Or what?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Or what?

Or he will take over threads with selective paragraphs of anger and negativity.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Ok that's pretty good to be honest. Hopefully they give us more options in the future.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

4k 60 is good. I'd like a native 4k 60 targeted mode with VRR...give that option to people who have VRR tvs.

 

[SLB1904]

Or he will take over threads with selective paragraphs of anger and negativity.

Meh it does tgat regardless

 

[SkylineRKR]

I am happy there is a 60fps solution.

 

[MasterCornholio]

How do we know the game doesn't support VRR with the 60FPS mode?

 

[prinz_valium]

seems normal to me

 

[Tqaulity]

Shouldn't be a surprise at all...cross gen or not. This will be standard for any PS4 title targeting 1080p/30fps. PS5 is simply not powerful enough to take a 1080p/30fps title and upgrade it to native 4K/60fps. That's an 8x increase in raw throughout and the PS5 is ~6-7x GPU and 4-5x CPU faster than PS4. 4K/60fps would required DRS or reconstruction to deliver for a typical cross gen title.

Titles like GT7 are different BTW because the PS4 target is already 1080/60fps.

Adding a 40hz mode to the native 4K would be awesome! Also VRR support with an unlocked 60fps would be icing on the cake.

 

[ChiefDada]

How do we know the game doesn't support VRR with the 60FPS mode?

We don't. This really doesn't tell us much.

 

[proandrad]

After the subpar performance mode in H:FW I hope people don't fall for the preorder scam again. I'll wait for release, if it doesn't have a 40fps mode with a VRR fps unlocked mode I'll just wait to buy until they add it.

 

[rofif]

Seems pretty pointless. I was hoping they would make one proper mode and just offer vrr unlock for it.
Sounds redundant as dynamic 4k will probably end up close to 4k anyway.

I might try playing 4k30 if it feels good like uncharted4 remaster. But if it feels like demons souls 30fps mode... input lag city.
Proper motion blur and low input lag can go a long way.
And people who say 4k dont matter, clearly dont play with huge oled in their face That non native res can look like crap!
