A 'No Brainer' to Take Advantage of PS5's Power, Wreckfest Dev Teases

A game that is not 4K is not an issue to me as long as the games runs at a high framerate (60 and above). I rather have developers take advantage of other PS5 capabilities like the decompression tech (smaller game file ftw), SSD and audio tech. Achieving the "4K" mark is getting redundant considering we have great upscaling techs like DLSS, checkerboard and AMD upcoming upscaling tech.

@Leon_93 Agreed 👍🏻

Yeah this game is awesome and I love it, but the load time’s (while improved) are pretty bad still. And the frame rate when there is heaps of carnage going on drops to f all per second. Just the fact that it runs so much nicer on ps5 makes a big difference, but would love to see them push the new hardware a bit

@Leon_93 agree with all stated but all that requires an actual ps5 version of the game and there the problem. Most Devs, especially indie devs don’t want to do that when they simply want to enable 60fps

This games would really benefit from optimised listing times.

@Slippship console speeds forever? Back in the PS2 days 60fps was a regular thing, even since then racing games generally have been, as have fighting games and others like Resident Evil 7 and the 2 remakes whilst Nintendo have had all their 3d Mario games 60fps for a long time.

I kinda bounced off this when I played it earlier in the year when it first came on PS NOW. I had grown a bit tired of all the open world racers I've played and thought I needed a straight racer, but when I played Wreckfest I just found it a bit boring. I will definitely go back to it eventually and hope I just wasn't in the right frame of mind or something.

@JapaneseSonic he did kind of imply that racing games haven't bren 60fps when many have been. Obviously most games have been 30fps this past couple of generations, maybe its because I play a lot of F1, Nintendo games and things like Resident Evil so I'm regularly exposed to 60fps. If you're playing mainly open world and Sony's games then there pretty much all 30fps (until now) so the jump could be jarring and perhaps like motion sickness as your brain isn't expecting it to look like that. I think your TV size theory might be close as I bought a bigger TV recently and it made me feel sick, so immediately went back to my old TV for gaming

Seeing as there is hardly anything of actual PS5 games, seeing Wreckest getting a dedicated upgrade patch for the PS5 would be most welcome.

It is by a country mile the best pick up and play racer of the last gen, as well as current gen.

However, on my LG OLED it is a judder fest via the PS5 and I've had to adjust the 4K transfer rate from 'automatic' to -1 to solve it.

@JohnnyShoulder Play it online, with fifteen other people chap.

That is where the fun is at .

I love wreckfest and it's hands down one of the better arcade racing games out there with somewhat realistic damage. However ,I wish it would be improved because after 5-7hrs of gameplay you start noticing how every car you smash ends up looking less or more the same. Instead of losing parts it gets squished like a sponge.

Even with Game Mode turned on racing seems off sometimes, and sometimes it looks smooth, but never unplayable. IDK why. It's a great game. I hope they add more cars to buy and race tracks. There are a bunch of cool tracks on PC that aren't on console yet: The Very Track Pack.
