[Digital Foundry] Silent Hill f Review - PlayStation 5/PS5 Pro - Impressive On Base, Problems On Pro

The flickering isn't even an issue unless you sit there and focus on it. I had to put silent Hill 2 down because of how bad that was, but f is tolerable and way less jarring. Nearly got the plat too

Yup, that's the biggest issue. When you're asking this amount of money, you better give me an experience with no glaring technical issues, or at least patch them quickly, which doesn't seem to be the case. I've seen footage and it's not terrible, I've played games with much worse issues, but I'm not paying 80 euros for that.
 
I've had some framedrops here and there on the Pro but for me, the resolution/artifacts etc are the least of its problems compared to SH2 Remake where it was a complete eyesore on some specific spots (start of the game with the puddles/as soon as you exit the hospital where it's raining).

I think it looks pretty OK for what it is, then again, this is a 80€ game (lol Konami you hacks) so it shouldn't have any to begin with.

Judging by SH2 remake and the recent MGS 3 Δ, people will have to wait a LONG time before any patch releases - and that's if Konami even bothers to begin with...
This is what is such disgusting BS! Anyone who bought SH2 remake and MGS Delta should be outraged by Konami right now. MGS Delta we're going on a month and a half without any of the fixes that Konami addressed "they're looking into".

SH2 Remake it has been almost a year with no fixes to the Quality mode. It's outrageous behavior. I've come to really hate Konami at this point. No sense of urgency whatsoever it's such a "fuck you" to their fans and customers.

They haven't even officially addressed Silent Hill F. Like how hard can it be to add the option to use a different upscaler? Who the hell patches only one mode (performance) in SH2 R and just leaves Quality mode a flickering mess.

Don't believe anyone saying "i played SH2 in Quality mode and it looked fine" or "it only has problems in the first area" btw....while it's true that some areas look fine there are many areas that are a mess and every lightsource in Quality mode has a strobe effect that's very off putting.

It boils down to this- if Konami (and other devs with problematic Pro patches) just DID THE RIGHT THING then people would stop complaining and asking why it hasn't been patched.

A month and a half for MGS patch is outrageous.
