Polyphony on fire

Any performance improvements on ps5?

@itsfoz it’s not just related to graphics. Overall compression, audio files, probably any pre-rendered scenes… the engine itself and how assets are handled.

@RogerRoger greetings to the Witcher 3 next gen version
Still looking forward for an upcoming patch.

Yeah the Demo was pretty bad.
Curious how the game finally turns out. Videos looking good but the demo was a huge downer.

@jonnybuck84 Great Game and absolute showcase for the ps5 hardware!

There was soo much bs shortly after the ps5‘s release. These channels want clicks and nothing more.
Where are the overheating RAM chips? Haven’t heard anything about it since a while.

Looks very nice!

@Mr_B021 fully agree. GT7 has it’s flaws but nevertheless it’s one of the best racing games of all time. I’m literally addicted to it since release. Beautiful game and so much fun to collect and drive all these cars.

Absolutely fell in love with GT7 since it’s release.
The game has its flaws but otherwise it hits sooo many spots with a nearly perfect. Car handling, tuning, visuals, HDR implementation is easily one of the best in the gaming market.
It’s a stunning game.
Just hope they would add more exciting singleplayer content in the future like the challenges or championships.

Unsteady framerate of less than 30 fps

Regardless all the trouble with CP2077 and the lies told by CDPR… massive respect for them to bring this for free to owners of the old versions. We already got mid gen updaters for this game and now 7 years after it’s release this new update with the mods included… that’s fantastic.

„Bought“ the demo for 0,25 € in Germany and I don’t really like it. The world feels dull and empty. Magic system and fights are okay but nothing I was excited about.
Also the visuals are meh in my opinion. Was hoping for a good showcase for the ps5 here but games like GT7, Horizon 2 and so many others looking way(!) better compared to this game.

Just give us more with this fantastic graphic engine <3
It’s just stunning.

@Olmaz I agree. The focus still on cross gen titles should be the main reason for this.
I hope this will further improve in 2023 with more current gen only titles showing up.

When can we expect the first reviews?
There seems to be a strict review embargo?

@-Sigma- True. I hope for some technical improvements for the ps5 with any new patch.

Was the game not already part of the Nvidia leaks? Pretty sure that it will come to pc sooner or later.

@Joabra01Swe you will never get this fixed values. It will be the same topic over and over again nevertheless it’s an Ps5 Pro, Ps6, Ps6 Ultra or whatever Xbox. It often hurts to read this again and again that people have such a little understanding how game development works.

@Atreus97 people who hold up for CP2077 patches and next gen versions can partially feel you

It took time but nice stuff that they improved it.
Was it that bad before? What was the resolution with the first 60 fps patch?

@Qu1n0n3z all good. This was no front

@Qu1n0n3z if the game is good and you like to play it why should you wait?
There won’t be a huge update that magically boost the resolution. And if so it might look a bit sharper but I wouldn’t stick to all of these numbers and specs all the time to judge about a game.

With a good upscaling 1080p can look pretty ok.
It’s always the thing - sure we expect more than only 1080p but the overall visual quality of a game isn’t only defined by numbers.
We will see what the game offers.

Curious if RT will work with 60 fps or only in a 30 fps mode.
Looking forward to next week.

@Thrillho if there is more fluidity and less input lag on the controls it is already a huge improvement over the „old“ version.

Haha Bonez MC & AK
Nice for the German artists

@GreatAuk oh nice. I need to play the GoW from 2018 as well again. Never finished it on Ps4 (Pro).

@GreatAuk I wouldn’t call it „great“ especially not in comparison with other top tier titles.
But it’s playable since 1.5. No permanent crashes, it looks and plays good.
If you’re interested in the title and your backlog is fine with it then give it a try. You can have fun with the game. Story is pretty good.
I highly doubt that the game will ever be a game changing RPG. It’s a good game in an interesting setting but for far away from being a classic. It never will be, no matter how many patches are following.

@GreatAuk uff, I wouldn’t say there is nothing left to fix. There are still bugs and a lot of promised features are not included.
The game looks good but nothing near as you would expect from a „next gen“ title. City still feels empty in some way.

@KaijuKaiser for me this was the last game I bought for a full price from CDPR. The 70€ still hurting especially with all the lies they told.
In the current state CP2077 is good, not phenomenal but good.
I have hopes that we see further refinement at latest with the dlc and patches around that time. They won’t support the old gen with the dlc and upcoming bigger patches. Hopefully image quality on next gen see further improvements.

@KaijuKaiser I don’t think so. Sure you can wait for further patches but they won’t support this for „years“. They’re working for the dlc next year than we see for sure some kind of a „complete / extended“ version on disc and than CDP Red will move on to their next games.
They already announced to switch to the unreal engine for their upcoming games. The work in CP2077 will end, it doesn’t make sense for them to overhaul the engine that is going to be abandoned.

Little Nightmares 2 for under 10 bucks for the first time since release

@WallyWest yes this is what we can expect.
Exciting to try this out and to see graphic analysis by the well known YT channels like DF for it.

@Tomato_Goose would be good to know but when they write „next gen consoles“ is should be available on ps5 as well.

Beside the umbrellas I think this is the important addition with this patch:

Added support for AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.1 (PC and next-gen consoles only).

@Toypop are you sitting so close to your ps5?
What about a bigger/better tv and a good Soundsystem if this bothers you so much?

Ahahaha. Simply love the news headline and the news itself xD
Simply classic!

The disc version of the CoD games only works as a kind of key for the game…

@Luigia this whole CoD client has totally blown up over the years… the best version of Kraken or whatever tech couldn’t do something about it.

At least there should be a 60 fps option.
With Gotham Knights I don’t see the point of the developers: Game runs with native 4K and RT… by scaling back the resolution and turn off RT a 60 fps mode should be possible on SX and ps5.

@JB_Whiting oh yes!
60 fps with a lower res all the time. I can’t notice a huge difference on my 55“ LG E9 most of the time with the different resolutions.
40 fps as lowest is ok as well, plays much better than 30 fps.

@Max_the_German FSR can even have its own issues. Furthermore even with FSR enabled people would complain about non-native 4K.
I think Santa Monica offers a fantastic set or visual modes here.
60 fps performance mode will be very close to your suggestion. The game uses its own upscaling while Native 4K with 40 fps is not bad at all.

@Bunchesopuppies 😅

I would be carful with 120 fps here - this will more be an unlocked 60 fps mode than can go up to 120 fps in theory. I guess it will be like Horizon 2 where see a framerate in this mode of 60-90 fps during regular gameplay.
Impressive stuff by Santa Monica!! Can’t wait for the game it will be a blast.

@Hundred_Hand_Slap in my point of view for sure! Absolutely worth it.
I put around 100 hrs in the game and still have a lot of fun playing it - beside the weaknesses I mentioned.

@racinggamefanatic these race is really strange. You can only win this with a special setup on some cars. You can easily find guides on YouTube for it… but that’s not the way a it should be that’s for sure.

@TrickyDicky99 that’s a very superficial point of view especially after the release of Horizon 2 which is one of the best looking games of all time on ps5 even it’s a cross gen title.
GT7 is a fantastic game but it could be so much(!) better with more tracks, more singleplayer content, better net code, real races with a qualifying… so far the monthly updates don’t do a lot to improve these aspects. The new cars are always welcome but I guess that every GT7 player would be fine with 1-2 months without new cars but further additions of the missing features that I mentioned before.

@Sequel yes, I know. A further 60 fps mode would be even better!
I just meant that the jump from 30 to 40 should be relatively easy doable for the dev team.

At least 40 fps should be possible with a lower res and probably slightly decreased details.
Hopefully this will be implemented later.
