Enhanced BC mode, likely the max of what the PS4 pro could reach.

Yeah I'm also curious lol.
I know the console version doesn't have an FoV slider, but realistically only a fraction of console games do. This is a 4K/60 presentation now.
Not so poor, imo.

That is the most low-key burn I've seen in a while. There's only been 1.5 games since 5 came out.

If you were playing it in the 30 FPS mode, probably uneven frame-pacing. The game always had FPS boost for 60 on Series, but the resolution drop was pretty steep. This patch is the best of both worlds now.
Oh ok. I didn't know it had 60fps already. I'll try it out again tomorrow and see if it's playable now.

I think what was the worst thing was they did make changes to the gameplay. The switch to a loot based system for upgrades made the game so much more of a pain to play.

Agree. That was my takeaway...a joyless slog, made worse by artificially long gameplay. Bummer too, because I've honestly liked virtually all the other games in the series.

Someone wake me up when they give Ghost Recon: Wildlands a next gen(aka 60fps) patch for Series X/PS5.

The game was so close to greatness. All they had to do was gate the story missions behind the chaos bar, and side quest completion, and then let the player decide when they want to do them. Stay with the hunters knocking you out schtick if you want, just don't pull me out of the fun I'm having to go do this 30 minute bit that becomes a resentful chore when I don't have a choice over it popping.
The story was actually pretty good on its own IMO, but New Dawn really fleshes out Seed's character.

I'm restarting FC5 because I only played about 1/3rd of it and loved the setting.
FC6 I quit at about 20% sick to my stomach just looking at all the shit on my map

Fuck yeah it's about time this gets 60 fps.
Bow we only need- AC Unity, ac syndicate, watch dogs 1 and 2, ghost recon wildcards, far cry new dawn, far cry 3 "classic" blood dragon "classic", far cry 4 and primal
While I'm disappointed there are so many Ubu games still in need of updates at least Ubi has made SOME effort to patch games, unlike so many other dev studios (RDR2!!)

That's the resolution the game runs at on PS4 Pro.
Basically, Ubisoft takes the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro versions of Far Cry 5 and change the framerate to 60. They did the same thing with two AC games, Origins and Odyssey. Ubisoft has been pretty good supporting older games like this.

Wow I might actually go back and finish this now, I bought this and new dawn like 2 years ago on PS and couldnt overcome the 30fps loll

inb4 New Game+ I can remember the sub reddit were asking for this for so long.
Pretty sure the game already runs at 60 on the current systems.

Nearly all those games are included in the Xbox FPS boost program, 60fps for Unity, Watch Dogs 1 & 2. Also Far Cry Primal , 4 and New Dawn.

Someone asked about FarCry New Dawn. Don't touch it. Utter, utter turd in everyway a turd can be a turd. Worse than primal, and that shit was a Reskin with animal functions. 
I hope this post has saved that person money.

Im not sure about the others but FC5 was like 900p.

This is definitely the best possible thing that could have happened to this game. I can finally hop back into map editor at 60fps and the power of the PS5 helps me edit much faster without any slow downs or hiccups.
I made this in only a few hours last night. It's my concept for "Back to Africa" a Far Cry 2 spiritual successor.
I'm going to at least complete this single player level with potential maps set in the jungle and desert to follow.

Did the ps+ version get the update too? I know Sony had been… odd with some of these

it's simply a patch, they literally can't not give it to PS+ users

Maybe my memory is off but for the Xbox version , it looks like to achieve that 60 fps at 4k they actually turn down the graphic settings by one notch. My reference is those apple trees: they don't look as good as on the One X back in 2018 . Like the lightning changed or something

3? Yes. Not so much 4. At least the scenery in 5 is somewhat unique. 4 had that advantage going for it too but I just didn't enjoy it as much as 3. Maybe for the same reason I'm not enjoying 6 as much as 5--too much Ubi-game syndrome.

I think yall are misremembering how (not) demanding this game is...4k Ultra on a 2080 and it's nearly maintaining 60. Just drop the settings to high and target 1800p to be safe and it's an easy peezy patch. They SHOULD use some kind of dynamic resolution or image reconstruction though. Far Cry 6 has it for AMD and it works well on quality mode to give a good boost to performance without much/any overall knock on visual quality.
I doubt if they use high vs ultra you're going to be able to tell a difference unless pixel peeping.

I agree I think they either dropped some settings or the resolution had been lowered but it doesn't look as stunning as it used to.
Why can't these consoles handle simply doubling the framerate? Is it a memory bandwidth thing? Slimysnake said there's probably a memory bandwidth bottleneck based on how many games can't double fps like the same spec'd PC's ...anyone else have any input on that? Would be a shame if true but the reality is many last gen games that have received "next gen upgrades" have had to sacrifice resolution or graphics settings to get 60 fps.
We've seen this with other Ubisoft games such as AC Odyssey (the resolution is lower now than it was on xb1x), Division 2 on ps5, Far Cry 5 (I think) and a bunch of games that got FPS boost on Series X ...

4 did not "suck ass". Neither did Primal.

New Dawn is not good I agree but it's a damn good looking game. Best looking one in the series probably. I'd still like to get 60 fps for it.

Yeah but the resolution in all of them is so bad they're not even worth playing. They all look like shit on xbox on a 4k TV. We're talking 720p-900p resolution for most of those

I like that UBI takes the time to do this to older titles. Hope they do the first Division next.

I think it comes down to how much time they want to take manpower out of a team to re optimize for the platforms or not . Those are free patches so it's a 50/50 decisions I'd say like they want to make the effort to update it for the fan but put half the effort ressources to do it which is completely understandable given they also develop new games all the time . They could probably have kept the same graphics (high vs medium let say ) with more time to scratch all the power they get from the set environments (hardware) . In any case I'll take it but they did make sneaky graphical adjustments. Visual quality police here
