Well thats nice since never in the history of gaming a company/studio said something and in the end it was bullshit...

Be upset is a thing. Became hysteric and irrational is another.

Did you play on quality? I think performance mode turns off pssr so no flickering, so I believe.

Did i hit a nerve on you and a few copers? Lol!
Tons of games looking like 90% equal than the base PS5 we already have and in some cases running worst or showing PSSR artifacts! And also most of the catalogue, still in 2025, being crossplatform, shared with a 13 yr old PS4.
Cope, son.
And about Series S, you forget MS idiotic price inceasing came recently, most part of the gen was the cheapest system and the entry point to precisely play proper "next gen" shit like Silent Hill F paying just $300 at launch and during all this years, until the increise. Yes, nowdays makes no sense to purchase a Series S, in fact, they are not available in lotta retailers worldwide, but for someone who bought it before this year at $300 and can play Silent Hill F, the next COD, Wukong, Alan Wake 2, Tekken 8, etc...isnt a bad deal.
PD: I have PS5, and haven´t had any Xbox since the 360, just can´t stand fanboy shit.

You're the one lying here and that's why I didn't read your previous garbage. I never once said the text in bold and you can't quote me saying that exact thing. There is something very wrong with you. Seek some help.

What is this political violence apologist implying? That PC is immune to shader compilation stutter?
His own video shows the game is very clearly afflicted by it on PC on first run:
It's so bad that the fucking character hands don't draw in for 5 seconds in an opening cutscene.
I would take noisy shadows in grass over this bullshit any day of the week.
Also embarrassing how John - who gets paid for this analysis btw - was salivating over how well the game ran on PC at a pre-release demo event, when he should have had enough deductive reasoning to realize that it just might've been running so well because of a warmed shader cache.
Shader stutters happen once but you have to look at PSSR artifacts the whole game. Not comparable at all.
I understand irony is not for everyone but Jeez...

So glad I paid more than 900€ (console, disc drive and stand) for a premium console experience….
Well I'll wait they fix their shit, métal gear and now this.
Fuck Konami?

Does stuttering only happen once?

Shader comp stutter? Yes, that only happens when a new shader is ran the first time, after that it doesn't.
Traversal stutter? No that would happen every time, but that plagues the console versions too.

Once for every shader, yes.
You can play for one hour and experience 5 shader stutters for example, if you reload your save and play again those stutters won't happen. Normally game should bake almost all shaders in pre compile process but SHf devs decided to make it as short as possible. Shader cache will be erased with every driver update and (sometimes) game updates.
Like
adamsapple
said traversal stutters will happen anyway and on all platforms. This is universal for this engine, maybe 5.6 version will save us from this in the future (thanks to CDPR)...I already saw trailer for UE 5.7 on EGS, lol.

Ok so I walked around the opening area and it is noticeable if you know what you are looking for. If you don't know, it doesn't get in the way. This is definitely a better situation than SH2R. None of that boiling on reflective surfaces. Just some foliage AO pulsing/flickering if you stay still and look at it. In motion, it just blends with the motion blur and film grain. Don't think this is going to get resolved until 2026 and that's if they still bother to patch it. For anyone wanting to play the game but holding off because of this one issue, it really isn't that bad. Game looks sharp and plays very smoothly otherwise. This will not affect my enjoyment of the game.

In Hell is Us not only foliage was flickering, a lot of of other stuff within lumen as well. Game have on/off switch for PSSR so players can compare.
Simple off toggle would solve the problem, how hard is this to patch in? UE5 devs should stay away from PSSR until new version drops.

Yeah so far I've only seen it with foliage in this one. The rest looks stable, but I booted up just to test this out. Will report back if my opinion changes as I play through starting tomorrow
And yeah, a simple toggle would resolve this and give gamers the choice. Given nothing like that happened with SH2R, I don't have much hope with NeoBards. May be they will surprise me. We shall see. In either case, I'm not seeing it to be bad enough that one should hold off from playing.

It's good that it's not that distracting, SH2 was worse probably because it had many more metal and glass surfaces with lumen reflections. Let's hope devs will notice DF critique.
