From the trailers i can already tell what are the best models, tell me how wrong am i:Yeah, HFW has no right looking that good considering its held back by the PS4. I legit believe its the hero lighting and lighting upgrades in general. It's insane how good that game looks. That said, GOW has enjoyed a slight improvement in graphics. Some character models look excellent. I think giving Kratos the same exact character model is a mistake because others do look better than what we had in the previous game. Definitely a big improvement there. Lighting and volumetrics look more like the OG GOW 2016 demo than the final game which had the GI and volumetrics toned down. Really adds to the atmosphere. It's no HFW, but its a decent upgrade beyond just the native 4k IQ the PS5 allows them to hit. And above all, its not the size of your dick, it's how you use it. HFW might have better visuals but GOW uses them to a better effect.

Tyr looked pretty "cartoony" for lack of better words and you know what i think about freya and little shit.

So
Quality @ 40 fps HFR
Performance @ 60 - 120 fps HFR
What are we using? As per usual I am flipping between them, it’s really really close on this game think I’ll have to settle at performance mode as the loss in resolution in camera pans.

It was something like "if you wanna try this you need to turn on this and disable that" type of thing.

That at 2+ year wait though… Nope. This is a must play on releaseSometimes life is hard as a PC only player

I havent flipped because 60 fps will ALWAYS be better than 30 fps and even 40 fps so I am sticking with 40 with unlocked framerate. It feels smooth enough, although camera pans arent as smooth, but since it only affects exploration I might just stick with it.

Ah, this?
After looking in the menus, you can have HFR (High Framerate) On even if VRR is off on the PS5, which will cause tearing and judder, I assume. So if you have HFR set to On, and not Off, then you will want VRR enabled in the PS5 settings.
Yeah, sadly it probably isThat at 2+ year wait though… Nope. This is a must play on release
And i already have wet dreams about Ghost and Forbidden West....

So to take full advantage of the 40fps option should I turn on vrr in the console settings? Or nah

As long as you have a TV that doesn't impact local dimming with VRR, then yes. You will have it set to Quality with HFR set to On (I assume the HFR toggle removes vsync). Both 120Hz and VRR set to On in the PS5 settings.
If you are fine at a locked 40Hz, then keep HFR set to Off in the game menu.
Personally, I am playing at 60Hz w/ HFR set to Off. Buttery smooth and impeccable IQ running at 1900p the majority of the time.

Fidelity 1800p-2160p unlocked (120 Hz w/ VRR)
Performance 1440p unlocked (120 Hz w/ VRR)
I'm swapping back and forth between these constantly, I can't settle on which to use...
Fidelity as per the name looks a lot nicer, and for the most part, the frame rate is fine, but camera movement sometimes seems to have a slight bit of judder to it that is a bit off putting.
Performance mode is smooth as hell, can't fault from an fps perspective, but it does look slightly worse to me.
I'll need to make my mind up eventually lol.
The game itself? Loving it, it's paced really well, I loved the opening sections and what I've played so far, for a cross gen game it's about as good as you can get, super polished.

If you want that level of detail with that traversal speed, without loading nodes, you have either to greatly reduce detail (it has to fit into RAM), or scrap last gen and use SSDs, so that data streaming can be virtually unlimited. But they were never an option for this game, which is born on PS4 right after the previous one.

I've read it averages 50-55 fps.

For whose who have a vrr compatible tv, definitely quality mode at 40 Hz unlocked: full details and frame rate of at least 40 fps, but far higher on average. The best trade off.

Yes, and on tv too, if not already enabled.

Easiest way to understand.
If you have a 60Hz TV
- Quality is 2160p (native 4K) @ 30Hz
- Performance is 1440p-2160p (tech sites said it's mostly 1900p) @ 60Hz
If you have a 120Hz TV (with 120Hz enabled in the PS5 settings, if not enabled then it defaults to a 60Hz TV modes above)
- Quality is 1800p-2160p @ 40Hz
- Performance is 1440p-2160p (tech sites said it's mostly 1900p) @ 60Hz
*setting HFR to Off is not recommended if given the option, due to disabling vsync
If you have a 120Hz TV w/ VRR
- Quality is 1800p-2160p @ 40Hz (but you can set it to HFR On which removes the vsync, so enable VRR in the PS5 and TV settings) and it runs at an average 50-55fps.
- Performance is 1440p-2160p (tech sites said it's mostly 1900p) @ 60Hz (but you can set it to HFR On which removes the vsync, so enable VRR in the PS5 and TV settings) and it runs at an average 80-90+fps

That's still there, although you can zip round with the blades as a grapple hook rather than have to clamber each wall.
Just got Tyr and about to set off for the next party member. Played about 6 hours today and only a headache is stopping me now.
The only real gripe I have is the UI/menu. My god, I didn't think it was possible to make the first one worse. They deffo took 'tiny text' to heart, and the overlays and weird sliding shit is just bizarre.
I'm really liking the story so far, and the only other thing is it throws so much at you in the opening hours that you have to learn really quick. But then it clicks and you're like Kratos Wick

I've played both a fair amount. A Plague Tale definitely has some stand out moments, but it's inconsistent, with certain shortfalls in animation and technical direction letting down the overall impression, not to mention the 30FPS cap. GOWR is nothing if not painstakingly consistent. It's not the visual showstopper that HFW manages to be, but everything is polished to the same standard.
I honestly feel like this is one of the those things that gets overlooked in presentation debates - strong, consistent presentation is the holy grail.

.not sure if you saw my other post but have you tried turning off the dimming with a service remote? Lg has this and it should/could fix the issue. I haven’t played enough GoWR yet but I didn’t have this issue with Ratchet

theyre only $7 on Amazon. Worth a shot just Google first before messing with any settings. I was having issues with some apps on the Apple TV box like dimming and flickering and it fixed that.

Fucking production quality....sure the graphics are cross gen...but you really can't top that Sony big tent pole game quality.
I can only imagine how much free reign and blank cheques they were given to deliver this but the reality is, they nail it. Its like a avengers movie level of budget and quality of effects etc.
Enjoying it a lot so far but I knew I would. Can't play anymore today gotta wait till tomorrow....torture. lol

Yoooo! This game is nuts! Been playing for 2 hours now and I just can't get enough.
The 2018 one was my game of the generation and this makes that one look like a prologue.

Yeah I wish they would have broken street date last Friday after it leaked. Story is so important that Everyone is paranoid of having something spoiled. Harder now that some can’t play until the weekend.

can't say you're wrong but i don't buy physical very often so it's very hard for me to justify the 100 extra. that being said you can get physical for cheap so...... seems like the extra investment will pay off... plus i like the discs
