If I check my chest / inventory it takes 30 seconds to load... (Pro) Was pretty much instant in the old version. So it seems my old save isn't working optimal with the new game client?!

You know you've spent serious time with a game when you look at a thumbnail and know that haircut name by memory 'shaved on the sides, short on top, and a pony tail'.

I don’t like how the game looks just bright enough during the conversations but as soon as they end and you go back to controlling the whole games slowly gets really dark. It’s more noticeable inside

Do I get the option to play the unremastered version or is it a case of disconnecting from the Internet and playing whatever version is on the PS4 disc?

@Zeke68 .. eyebrow is taking serious perfomance toll

How about a bloom toggle on PS5 to fix the washed out look. Hate it when devs don't allow us to switch off those awful post processing effects.

I ended up switching to performance mode on Pro. Performance is massively improved, image is cleaner and lighting is far better as you can actually see what's going on now.

@Zeke68 Create a new save slot and delete the old save slots from the prior version. This issue plagued both PS4 and the original PS5 version.

@DennisReynolds Thanks will try that when I quit End OF Abyss in a little while, thanks for the heads up.

Honestly, the thing annoying me most is just the auto-save stuttering. Hopefully, they can fix that soon.

There are some other bugs I've encountered, but nothing that I wouldn't expect from an open world game, especially one as big as this.

@DennisReynolds Maybe I'm wrong, but I think you can disable bloom. There are a bunch of post-processing setting that have toggles in the menu. You can even toggle back to OG combat if you want.

On RT, it does look very dark in indoor places with no lighting, got me using the torch more. I think we've been so used to games being bright even in areas meant to be pitch black that we don't realise that's the point of a torch. Torches are always neglected in gaming. Started using torches in Bloodborne's dungeons and it revealed details i never saw back in the day, same with a lot of games. What I hope is fixed is the sound, low voices in cutscenes with high background music. Overall the graphics just looks smooth, clean and sweet.

Might be a hot take, but i kinda prefered the original. The art direction in the remaster seems different, especially Velen is way too bright imo.
It helps to turn off RT, but still.

@wildcat_kickz Yeah there is a ton of settings you can disable but for some reason not Bloom, you can on PC but not on PS5. This patch might have changed that but i won't know till later.

@species Its because Bloom is forced on with the PS5 version, on PC you can turn it off but that option isn't on PS5. PC players have been saying turning it off makes a massive difference.
