Support NeoGAF

[kyliethicc]

Oh I thought you could mix the outfits and create a new one

Technically you can since you can now tie any stats to any look. Just no new looks added as far as I can tell

 

[elliot5]

I'm impressed. Good job Guerilla. Maybe they took Insomniac's TAA finally

 

[Putonahappyface]

I can finally play at 60fps.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Performance mode looks a LOT better.

 

[Hoddi]

Perf mode also looks far better at 1080p now. It's now hard to tell the difference from quality mode which wasn't the case before. I'm glad I waited to play it.

 

[omegasc]

The HUD on top seems to be updating at a lower framerate though?

 

[NeonGhost]

Yeah I noticed that also

 

[Larlight]

I haven't played FW yet but what improvements did they make to performance mode? Was there issues with it?

 

[NeonGhost]

Yes the game was blurry and looked like it had no anti aliasing

 

[Larlight]

Ah, nice. Then Im glad Im going to not have to see the game that way then lol

 

[NeonGhost]

Ah, nice. Then Im glad Im going to not have to see the game that way then lol

Yeah it was bad I gave up on the game when you get to the first open area so glad I did

 

[solidus12]

I can finally play at 60fps.

 

[OLED_Gamer]

Hate the fact that I already platinumed this. Enjoy homies

 

[balls of snow]

Yeah 60 fps mode looks better and more in line with Zero Dawn ps5 patch now.

 

[reektann]

Perfect timing of this patch too - finished up Returnal and really wanted to start this. Stroke of luck!

 

[Anchovie123]

More proof that buying games day 1 is for suckers.

 

[Markio128]

The textures now look super sharp in performance mode - really impressed.

 

[Neofire]

Now this is a proper update, hats off to Guerrilla Games for making a fantastic game even better.

 

[Captain Toad]

Testing out the performance mode on my PS5 now and it looks significantly better, cannot notice any shimmering.

EDIT : Holy shit, this looks way better.

EDIT 2 : I'm losing my shit over how good this game looks, just wow!!!

EDIT 3: Nevermind it's the same.

 

[Gamerguy84]

Nice good shit.

 

[omegasc]

Maybe they got help from Kojima Productions since Death Stranding PS5 uses the same engine and has a very solid performance.

 

[TheRedRiders]

So I did some comparison shots on performance vs. resolution, take a look for yourselves, the window is a little funny and zooms in randomly, so i recommend viewing them in the full screen options. I'm actually a little baffled by the results.

How so? The Resolution mode is sharper, has higher LOD distance. Both look great.

You're right, I'm looking at them now and I can see.

Apologies, it's late here and I'm sleepy

 

[Lupin25]

Has anything improved with the fidelity mode as well since the latest patch ?

 

[ChiefDada]

FSR 2.0 is not a magic silver bullet it's just a generalized TAA solution. If a game already have it's own working solution there is no real need to swap it out with AMD's.

Well it's clear that they utilized some tool they didn't have before, whether it be FSR 2.0, Insomniac tool, or whatever. This is easily a day/night level of difference to the point where I would be interested in an explanation for why they didn't have this TAA at their disposal up to this point.

As it stands, I prefer performance over fidelity mode because any excess detail in 4k mode is getting lost in motion. Bring on 40fps/VRR.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Tried the patch and 60fps is the way to go now

The drop in fidelity is minescule now

What wizardry did GG pull off here?

 

[blastprocessor]

Can't see any difference only wish is they add higher shutter on the motion blur to make that mode smoother at 30 fps.

Enhanced their TAA.

 

[ChiefDada]

This is the best the game has ever looked. Also is it just me or does the HDR look improved also?

 

[rapid32.5]

No visual screen comparison yet?

 

[lh032]

looks like....its time for me to go back.

 

[TheRedRiders]

Enhanced their TAA.

Correct me if I'm wrong but they didn't originally use TAA, they were using checkerboard rendering even on the PS5.

Now maybe they've implemented a TAA solution, it's definitely not CB though but whatever it is, it's dam good.

 

[geary]

Game should have been delayed 6 months and come with these updates and the other patches at launch. Why noone is criticizing this?

 

[Ezekiel_]

 

[Jaybe]

Thank you all for the beta testing. I look forward to playing this finally finished product.
Seriously though, some loathe patches but I love we live in an age where a game can keep adding improvements, especially new game +

 

[SlimySnake]

Took some comparison shots. I think they might have toned down the lighting a tad but its really hard to notice in screenshots. Looks like they toned down the volumetric fog in performance mode to gain some performance.

Spoiler

the biggest fix outside of the shimmering issue with the foliage is how poor the settlements looked before. they were like a vaseline covered mess with low res textures. now they look just as good as they do in fidelity. I would love to know how they fixed this and why it took so long.

 

[Rea]

Now the shimmering is gone, can they bring back the wind system? Now all the trees looks fucking static.

 

[Kerotan]

Looks like my playthrough will be on hold until the 40fps VRR update

 

[BlitzerRadic]

What the fuck for? Lots of people were perfectly fine with the way the game ran at launch.

 

[Nydius]

Man. Just got my PS5 from the May 26 Direct drop delivered today, spent all day getting everything installed/upgraded/transferred over, and then they drop this bombshell.

Can't wait to go in and replay the game on New Game+ and have a much better experience than playing on the PS4 Pro.

 

[Gamerguy84]

My second definitely will. I played through the first time on performance. Looked beautiful and played smooth.


Excited to check this out again though.

 

[John Wick]

As if there was any doubt......
First class update

 

[akaFullmetal]

Going to do my game + mode 60fps this time. Can't wait to hunt!

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Game looks absolutely insane now at 60fps, wow

 

[ParaSeoul]

Blaming tvs and some people thinking it was because the game is 1800p in performance mode. Glad I was right in thinking it was just a visual glitch. Game seems way better than the first,do you need to have played the first?

 

[Fess]

Nice! Seems like a huge update, it's gonna be awesome jumping into this, thanks Elden Ring for making me pause the playthrough early

 

[ChiefDada]

I started NG+ and I can't put the controller down. This looks to be more than a resolution bump. There's no way the HDR wasn't enhanced either directly or indirectly somehow I know it's not in my head. Very well done Guerrilla. Again I just want to know what they did and wondering how the upcoming 40fps mode will push fidelity further. Chasing native 4k seems more wasteful by the day.

 

[proandrad]

What the fuck for? Lots of people were perfectly fine with the way the game ran at launch.

Game has had like 14 patches. It clearly should have gotten delayed.

This is what I wanted to hear.
Still haven't played through the first half of the game, I think. Bought the game day 1, but the shimmering in performance mode was absolutely terrible and 30fps just doesn't feel right.

Also, my A90J is ready for 40fps mode.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

But so many people said it didn't exist

Alot of people apparently throw up at 30fps, but don't see a difference with 1440p and 4K.
