Support NeoGAF

I am going to be honest, this is the worst looking low res PS5 game that there has been in performance mode.

It looks like utter shit resolution wise for a 2023 release. Its an utter embarrassment.

I dont care that it plays well or its smooth, your talking about a 2023 release that looks sub 720p on PS5 performance mode an people paid £70 for this, fucking disgrace.

This game should have scored no higher than 6/10 for technical specification as good as the game is no one has low low resolution TVs, especially if they can afford a £70 release.

Kicker is on PC you can play it for £15.

Unacceptable tbh.

the crazy thing is, other frostbite titles looks good. Like bf2042 is a 128 player multiplayer game on big maps and the game holds a steady 60 with crisp image quality. This game is a corridor shooter that looks much worse. Why change to fsr when the frostbite checkerboarding looks so much better?

I think it's more the fact that the VRS is being done as a first pass before running the FSR / DLSS pipeline which is destroying the image quality when scaled up, whereas it should be part of a post-processing pipeline.

I've also noticed some pretty aggressive lod pop in for objects like cases on shelves etc

Overall it has been a pretty good experience so far for me - but then again it may be the case my rig is brute forcing it's way through ( Playing at native resolution 3840 x 1600 ) etc

Whatever you do, don't turn up the brightness I'm this game. The really spooky things lurk in the shadows.

I thought it was a Remake not a Demake, damn.

Having a great experience on PC but required some tinkering. Maxed (ultra) settings at 2K 72fps.

Specs: 3080ti 12GVRAM/Intel11th gen/32GB RAM

Nvidia Control Panel Program Settings:
- Maximum frame rate: 72fps.
- Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance
- Driver: 528.24

In-game settings:
- Dynamic resolution scale: Off
- Anti-aliasing: TAA
- TAA Quality: High

Using TAA seems to reduce the VRS issue somewhat, much better than DLSS where any dark area looks like a cartoonish mess.

With this I get what I would honestly call "minimal" stuttering that only briefly occurs when entering certain rooms. Before these changes it was happening every 5 seconds and was nearly unplayable.
However the game's performance is strange. I get about 100% GPU usage and 5% CPU usage :/

Doesn't work.

Doesn't work.

Bummer thought it would when I saw it online earlier.sorry if it was missinfo

 

[R6Rider]

NX Gamer doesn't address whether the day 1 patch introduced the speculated bug that's messing with image quality on not ...

He does talk about fsr 2.1 having issues and vrs being "middling"

More info is needed . Would be great if Michael popped in here to clarify whether he thinks there's a bug or not

The patches didn't introduce the bug. I have played (and others have as well) version 1.0 and it's still there.

what a garbage PC port

BF2042 was a technical disaster at launch. These games are rushed and not tested properly before release. Whatever the reasons, it is so common that I really think it's foolish to every buy a game day one. Preordering is probably the worst thing you can do. Even a game that is seemingly fine, like Horizon Forbidden West, got a lot of patches that fixed tons of bugs and vastly improved the IQ after release. If I pick up Dead Space in 2 weeks I will likely be playing a far better and more polished game than the people who shelled out day one. It's just wrong.

Random Stutters, but not too much of a problem. Chalk it up to dealin with fucking stutters for some time now, but it's not as bad as other big budget releases.
Performance nearly rock solid at all times. 3090 + 5950X + 32GB of ram + NVME m.2

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

NX skipped over the idea that VSR is ruining the IQ, especially on Ps5 with its software based solution. Pretty weird thing for him to miss.

 

[Hohenheim]

I refunded it. Couldn't figure out the audio glitches, and it ruined the atmosphere for me. Will definitly pick it up again when it's patched up.
Lesson: wait for a while before buying new stuff, yeah I know. But I also want to support the devs. Well well.

 

[KormaChameleon]

Ah weird! I play on a LG C1 , could be why , it looks like HDR kicks in...not sure

I have a MSI G24C6 (IPS). Although it does have HDR but I have it turned off as I think HDR always looks arse for games.

And DF's "best in class" comment, lmfao.

Yeah same here ! I do find HDR looks like poo
