Support NeoGAF

[Lunatic_Gamer]

Series X offers a full 4K presentation at 60fps, with an optional 1440p/120Hz mode also available. On its smaller sibling, the Series S, the game holds the same framerate options while dropping the resolution down to either 2880 x 1620 or 1920 x 1080 respectively. Both the Series X and Series S feature HDR and VRR (variable rate refresh) support to boot.

On last-gen consoles, it's a case of 30fps across the board, with the base Xbox and PS4 both outputting at 1080p while the Xbox One X manages a full 4K and the PS4 Pro tops out at 1440p. Sadly, it's also the last-gen version of the game that PS5 owners will be playing, though the implementation of backwards compatibility sees the framerate lift to 60fps at the same 1440p resolution. No HDR or VRR support for last-gen or PS5, unfortunately.

Over on PC, it's merely a case of running the game at whatever framerate or resolution your hardware can handle. Though, curiously, HDR support is missing while VRR remains an option.

when is the native ps5 version coming?

 

[Bernd Lauert]

This thread is gonna go well...

I refused to make a seperate thread because I didn't want to console war bait. Looks like my efforts were futile

 

[VolticArchangel]

LMAO at base PS4 and Xbox One having no difference in resolution, but the One X and Pro are 4K and 1440p. This thread's gonna be legendary.

when is the native ps5 version coming?

After wednesday.

 

[ZehDon]

At least PS5 owners get double the frame rate, even if they're stuck with PS4 Pro resolution. Hopefully they get it native ASAP.

 

[RaZoR No1]

Spoiler: obligatory another one gif

Strange that One X doesnt support HDR and somehow expected, that they put minimal effort to the PS versions (no PS5)

I'd be surprised if Microsoft invested ressources into making a native PS5 version. And as you implied, the PS5 BC version is "good enough" at 1440p60. You can't really call it a compromised version, it will look and run great.

There's no native HDR in the game. It's all Auto HDR.

 

[Riky]

Happy with that Series S performance.

 

[FranXico]

Studio bought by Microsoft only puts effort into Xbox versions.

News at Eleven.

 

[Vae_Victis]

There is no PS5 version. It's the PS4 version run through backwards compatibility. Which we already know in 99% of cases means it will run exactly like the PS4 Pro version, but with better frame rate if it happens to be uncapped.

Thank you for the misleading title, "well-played.com.au", I'm sure you'll be getting a lot of clicks from console warriors now. And thank you OP for reporting misleading information yourself.

 

[VolticArchangel]

Can't wait for Series S vs PS5 comparisons from Digital Foundry lmao

 

[mejin]

Game will flop anyway.

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

 

[MrFunSocks]

No HDR or VRR support for last-gen or PS5, unfortunately

Well yeh, the XB1, PS4, and PS5 don't support VRR.

 

[assurdum]

MS studios to sony multiplat version.

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

Unlimited Health you mean, get it since there's an invincible mode

 

[Evilms]

Lol the only way for Microsoft to show the superiority of the XSX is to do the bare minimum on PS5

At least Sony did the job on mlb the show.

Doubl fine being acquired by MS midway through development likely means they won't feel the need to provide a next gen update on another console.

 

[kittoo]

There's no native HDR in the game. It's all Auto HDR.

Which means Windows 11 will have HDR.
I really like Auto-HDR in Windows 11 so far. Really good feature to have. I no longer have to worry if I particular game will have HDR or not. Godsent for older games too.

 

[Godot25]

After Microsoft will purchase SEGA

Only reason why Psychonauts 2 is releasing on PlayStation is because Double Fine promised PS4 version in their Fig campaing.
...the didn't promised PS5 version as far as I know.

Meanwhile. MLB told Sony: Either you will start developing MLB Games multiplatform or we are taking license elsewhere. And since publisher of MLB on Xbox is league not Sony, they would for sure won't like having half-assed version, especially when PC version is probably following next year.

Well, MS did say that any multiplatform games would play best on Xbox, so we can all expect them to gimp the PlayStation versions from here on out.

People complained that Xbox doesn't have exclusives, so now they have. PS4 version was promised and they will deliver it. They already did more than required by uncapping the framerate on PS5.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

This game will also be released on Sony machines? I was living under a rock.

 

[HoofHearted]

 

[Mister Wolf]

They promised you a PS4 version and that's what you get. No more no less.

 

[Skifi28]

1440p60 is still pretty good. I wasn't expecting them to release the game on Playstation at all.

Bu bu but Phil said he cares about gamers wherever they play!! Lol that dude is a walking PR puff piece.

 

[VAL0R]

PS fans: Xbox has no games LOL!...Yo, can we get Psychonauts 2 for PS5 bruh?

Uncle Phil:

 

[Kuranghi]

Shame theres no HDR but I think if the devs aren't confident they can transfer their work over that well then I'm glad they skip it, this looks like something where they have a really specific look and just transferring it "automatically" (I don't mean xboxes Auto HDR) without redoing the whole look for HDR would probably look like crap anyway.

Any idea how it runs on PC?

I didn't even know this was coming to Playstation...

Why would a Xbox studio make a game for another platform if they are not obligated to? The only consoles mentioned in the original kickstarter were Xbox One and PS4.

And they kept their promise. They never announced any PS5 version.

Not to mention game is looking polished and high production value.

Something you shouldn't expect with Kickstarter level budget.

It's a win for PlayStation owners but a jackpot for xbox and game fans.

Because Phil's mouth talking about bringing games to more players. Guess it wasn't genuine.

 

[Droxcy]

Looking forward to the PC play throughs

Funny how last gen games like Watchdogs 2, Dark souls 3 and various others had zero Xbox one X updates even though the Ps4 pro did..

Now it's switched. Sony die hards just have to swallow it I guess.

 

[MOTM]

when is the native ps5 version coming?

Not sure, but hope it comes to PS Now at launch.

 

[Mr Hyde]

I'm happy with PS4 pro settings. 60 fps @ 1440p is no slouch in terms of visuals and performance. Game looks ace and will most likely be super fun to play. Can't wait to dive in with Raz in his weird world yet again.

 

[SF Kosmo]

Played the first on PC when it first game out and I will be playing this one on PC as well.

Exactly, thats all that matters. Fun gameplay. And this looks great fun, just like the first.

 

[Magnific0giganticus]

So basically they're screwing one of the platforms that's going to make them the most money (the other one is the base PS4).

 

[Bernkastel]

Phil never said more platforms or indicating going multiplat in anyway.

Yeah. How dare they not release it on other platforms that they have no obligation to do.

 

[Roberts]

It has been said million times: because of Kickstarter, they are only obliged to make PS4 version. Actually them unlocking 60 FPS for PS5 is already a nice gesture that they didn't really need to do.

Unlocking 60 fps on PS5? Can it go over 60fps??

 

[Magnific0giganticus]

Yeah. How dare they not release it on other platforms that they have no obligation to

For more sales I would....
