@colonelkilgore I have received a Sony game a couple days early in the past (I believe it was Uncharted 4) but these days I'm just counting on it arriving on release day not late in the evening
I've paid extra to get my Collector's Edition from Game by midday Friday. Maybe I should send them a message to open the box and email me the code inside. Still I work nights and won't finish until 6am on Friday so I'll try and get a quick nap in before it arrives.
I've got next week off for half term so I can spend some time with the kids. That surely means it'll be ok to play this all weekend and leave them to their own devices knowing that I'll be making up for it right? 😅
Just checked my orders on Amazon… it hasn’t been dispatched yet (as is to be expected). I wonder how many times that I refresh that tab as the week rolls on? 🤔
I usually prefer NX Gamer to Digital Foundry for performance analysis. This is a good quality Horizon comparison he's done for IGN and interestingly he makes the opposite recommendation to DF for which mode he'd use...
Personally, I’ll always choose 60fps over a sharper resolution. I have no doubt that it’ll still look beautiful… hell Zero Dawn still smacks-my-gob on base PS4.
@colonelkilgore If you have Amazon Prime, they will just deliver it on release day. I've never known Amazon to deliver early or late with video games when you pre-order from them.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Game took my money today for the collector's edition. So into town Friday after work to collect it. Can't wait. Staying clear of the main page and youtube as I want to experience this one completely blind! Only 4 more days 😃
Dunno whether to play at 30FPS or 60FPS. I played Valhalla at 30 because the image looked a lot better and it didn’t really need a mega smooth framerate. Whereas Spider-Man was impossible to go back to 30 after I’d tried 60FPS.
I can't imagine a scenario where 60fps wouldn't be wholly preferable. Even if you lose some visual detail, games both look and FEEL better at higher framerates.
Ironically, I guess, the benefit of playing a PS5 on a 1080p set is that you always automatically get the best version of the game on performance mode.
@colonelkilgore HFW apparently being as or more stable performance-wise than HZD on base PS4 despite the denser environments really blows my mind. Definitely not surprised to learn it was primarily designed as a PS4 game now, as that version appears to be super-optimized.
I generally lean towards 60fps as well but played through the entirety of Guardians of the Galaxy in ray-tracing mode (30fps) as the fps just wasn’t important and I absolutely could not un-see the beauty of that mode. I’d like to see more games take a page out of Ratchet and Clank’s book and implement a 120hz mode. 40fps is definitely no 60fps but it’s a noticeable and completely welcome step up from 30fps while maintaining that crisper resolution. It was a great way to experience that game.
It'll be interesting to see what mode I end up playing the majority of the game at. I'll likely try it on Resolution Mode first just to see if the 30 FPS is fine since I played Miles Morales at 30 FPS no problem, but I did just play Horizon Zero Dawn again on the PS5 (obviously at 60 FPS). That combined with the fact that Sony's 1st party studios did an excellent job with checkerboarded resolution on the PS4 Pro has me thinking I'll end up playing it in Performance Mode. Games still looked great even if they weren't actually 4K on the Pro.

@colonelkilgore I think that used to be the case when they used royal mail. But since they introduced Prime delivery and use their own carriers, probably not so much.

So I’ve now tapped on the tab and refreshed it 6 times in total. Still about 2mm away from being Dispatched atm (that’s on an 8inch screen btw… so adjust distance from Dispatched accordingly depending on your usual screen size) 🤪

My copy of Horizon Forbidden West has now been Dispatched! Still not expecting it to turn up early or anything… but bodes well that it’ll arrive at a decent hour on Friday morning. 📫 - 🌅❌⬅️
@velio84 I’m playing up to it a little bit in all honesty 😉… but it is rare that I buy a game at release, let alone have the day booked off to play it, so yeah… a little bit 🤏.
