Support NeoGAF

[Lunatic_Gamer]

PS5 Pro Graphical Modes:

- Ray Tracing Mode - 4K (rendering resolution 3072 x 1728) at 30 FPS

- Performance Mode - Upscaled 4K (rendering resolution 1920 x 1080) at 60 FPS

- Balanced Mode - Upscaled 4K with Ray Tracing (rendering resolution 1920 x 1404) at 40 FPS.

As detailed during today’s Capcom Spotlights, Monster Hunter Wilds PS5 Pro support will include PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), which will enhance the resolution via upscaling. Though Capcom hasn’t detailed whether the game will run at 120 FPS on the PS5 Pro, they confirmed that players can prioritize either performance or ray tracing in modes that will be part of the day one update.

Ray trace mode will include ray trace reflections, which you can compare in the side-by-side image above. This mode will be restricted to 4K (rending resolution 3072 x 1728) at 30 FPS, while the performance mode will allow the game to be played at 4K (rendering resolution 1920 x 1080) at 60 FPS. Video demonstrations of each mode are available below.

A third mode called “Balanced mode” will also be available for PS5 Pro players. This mode balances the two modes, allowing the game to run in 4K (rendering resolution 1920 x 1404) at 40 FPS.

It’s not a bad list of enhancements, and we’re glad that Capcom is offering an in-between mode that blends performance and resolution. Couple that with VRR, and balance mode might be the go-to mode.

Looks amazing

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

Why wouldn’t they mention an unlocked 40fps VRR mode with LFC?

It’s so blindingly obvious to have one if to you go to the trouble of doing a 40fps mode.

 

[Kings Field]

Probably do balanced mode.

 

[Skifi28]

Looks like they actually put some effort for once.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Balanced mode also has ray tracing. If 40fps looks smooth enough, This seems to be the best of the options. I'll be running that or framerate mode.

 

[bundylove]

Ok so no rt in balanced mode??
Even alan wake 2 had rt at 40fps

Edit , i see it has .

its like in the post above yours

 

[R6Rider]

Performance mode for me.

 

[lh032]

60fps here i go.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Love to see the 40fps modes becoming more common.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Goddamn I was worried but this looks spectacular for Pro and a massive improvement over base PS5

It’s just beginning folks

 

[kevboard]

Looks like they actually put some effort for once.

depends on how it runs.
they would have had a gigantic jump in perfomance from the beta to reach even remotely stable framerates at the resolutions they claim.
that beta ran like pure garbage on everything

 

[Gaiff]

I’m guessing they’re using frame generation in performance mode?

 

[kazuyamishima]

I've never played a MH game in my life.

Are they that good and will Wilds be a good entry MH for myself?

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Performance Mode all the way, can't wait

 

[ssringo]

I've never played a MH game in my life.

Are they that good and will Wilds be a good entry MH for myself?

Here's the baseline questions for anyone interested in MH.

Do you like the idea of a game that's built entirely around boss fights? And getting good at said boss fights?
Do you like the idea of grinding to upgrade your gear with actual changes that are both visual and tangible in order to fight progressively stronger bosses or farm old bosses faster?
Do you like to co-op with others and like the idea of doing the above with others?

If so then absolutely give it a whirl. Wilds is shaping up to be a fantastic entry and great jumping on point for newcomers. I will say that if you'd rather give an older (and cheaper) release a try then go with World or Rise but you'll miss out on the initial co-op of Wilds.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Noice.

Balanced-mode all the way.

Edit:

Although I might switch to Performance when playing on Portal.
Probably still going to be Balanced though.

Do you like the idea of grinding to upgrade your gear with actual changes that are both visual and tangible in order to fight progressively stronger bosses or farm old bosses faster? I've been playing these types of games lately, so another yes.
Do you like to co-op with others and like the idea of doing the above with others? I don't usually play too much co-op games only a few exceptions in the likes of Returnal and maybe a few more.

I'll try it and see how it goes, EB Games Australia has a nice trade in deal and performance on the Pro seems to be good.

If you have a good group of friends to play with it is a lot of fun.

Good luck; have fun!

I'd also suggest, as a new player, giving a weapons video a watch to help you figure out what weapon to start with as they all play differently with different strengths/weaknesses and the wrong weapon (for you as none are bad) can be less fun to learn the game with.

Quick search shows Arekkz did one before the first beta. Which reminds me...there's another beta starting on the 6th which you should try.

 

[nnytk]

60fps > everything else. I don't like this trend of 40fps. PS5 Pro was made to get rid of "Performance" or "Quality", yet here we are.

As long as 60fps exists.. devs will always push a quality mode at higher resolution. I really dont understand why people are so hung up on this. Modes arent going anywhere and im not sure thats what was even meant by cerny.
I believe they're simply trying to give you quality mode at 60fps and i think its achieved it for the most part.

 

[Zuzu]

It’s great to see another game get a 40fps mode. We’ve seen a few come through lately which is good. Over the last few months Black Myth Wukong received an update to its balanced mode which gave it a 40fps mode, Star Wars Outlaws had one, Alan Wake 2 got one on Pro, Avowed is coming with one and now this has one. Good stuff.

Sadly I don’t have too many friends online, but not a problem, there are plenty do people always willing to help.

I will try the betas and see if the franchise is for me or not.

Thanks for all the help.

Yeah just get a good GAF crew going, I had fun with HD2 from some peeps here

I think the beta is sadly closed though

 

[manfestival]

Can't wait to play this at 20fps

 

[Elios83]

Excellent, 40 fps mode for me.

 

[Kerotan]

Good job. This was an important title for the pro.

 

[dreamstation]

Hopefully the performance mode looks better than it did in the beta test thing. Looked terrible.

 

[Danjin44]

You can play entire MH solo if you want, that’s what I do and I have a blast.

 

[DenchDeckard]

PSSR will hopefully do wonders here. upscaling from 1080p should be decent, i imagine.

 

[Edmund]

It's just such a pity that they didn't add the pro features for the upcoming demo. Lots of my friends with the pro are undecided whether to pre-order the game on their pro on their aging 2080/3070/3080 cards.

 

[yogaflame]

Fantastic. And the bonus it has RT. 40fps at 4k with RT suffice. Pssr ml for ps5 pro is growing rapidly in just a few months. And base Ps5 also has good performance. I will buy this game for sure. This will be my priority in my purchase. This really give hope for gta6 to have good ps5 pro and even ps5 base performance.

 

[Evolved1]

I think the beta is sadly closed though

the betas are free, open to everyone, and all platforms are crossplay. however, these performance improvements are not in that old build. in fact, beta performance mode actually has a visual bug that makes it look fuckin horrid tbh. still the funnest thing i played last year. and confirmed fixed for final.

 

[Danjin44]

Let me remind people that this Beta 2 will not have any of the fixes on the visuals and weapons that will be on full game.

Bata 2 is basically for people who missed first the beta with two added monsters you can hunt.

 

[Skifi28]

I’m guessing they’re using frame generation in performance mode?

The beta didn't so very unlikely after they claimed performance improvements for the full release.

 

[rotorfire]

Good post. Balanced Mode is probably the way I'll go but honestly, I'd have been happy with MHW graphics at high res and 60fps.

I'm still finding the game looks.. I'm not sure exactly what... Duller, lower contrast, less sharp, harder to parse what's going on. I understand that sometimes it's an HDR output problem when recording and it probably doesn't help many of the fights we've seen have been in dark scenes with dark monsters and dark armoured hunters.

 

[kazuyamishima]

Oh sweet that sounds good

 

[Gaiff]

Good. The PC version actively encourages you to use frame generation and I also recall them stating consoles would use it too, so I was worried they were using it to generate 60fps from a base 40 or so.

It could still have its use for a 120fps mode on the Pro.

 

[Horseganador]

The games coming out in 2025 are already much more developed for PS5 pro.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Honestly PS5 Pro been killing it lately.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Looks pretty good to me. I wish they had a video for balanced mode though unless I missed it.

I'll run balanced if it feels smooth enough, and performance if not. I played through Horizon and Spiderman 2 in the 40fps mode and loved it.

 

[jm89]

Devs are learning. I think the initial batch of games pro patches where rushed out too early.

With my shitty 3600 I got mostly low 50s in the taxing part of the benchmark. Would that still feel like 60fps with framegen and the 60fps cap?

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I would say yes, but what did you did when you turned on framegen for the benchmark?

 

[Mr Moose]

I would say yes, but what did you did when you turned on framegen for the benchmark?

It was 100-ish fps with FG on.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

It was 100-ish fps with FG on.

OH HELL yeah, you will be having a blast then!

But...go the steam route if you can and pull that refund parachute if you are not happy with it.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Wonder how many people will buy the Pro for this given the announced bundle for base PS5. They should have made a PS5 Pro bundle.

 

[viveks86]

Need to see more before I can call this a clear win for the Pro. Here is a comparison shot where the Pro Graphics mode looks lower res than base PS5 (see foreground vegetation by the water as well as foliage in the distance). They have sufficient input resolution to look better than native with PSSR. But that isn't seen here. Don't know. The ray tracing looks good, but are RT reflections even necessary in this game? Wish they had a similar comparison of performance mode so we can see the IQ boost without the RT overhead.
