Hasn't an Nvidia employee basically admitted that DLSS is not.using genAI at the geometric level but merely from a 2D image, ergo making Jenson to be full of merde?
@StrifeInMidgar Because it's basically am AI smear over the original rig some of them, especially Starfield, look horrendous. It's still got the game's stilted facial animations and odd lip sync so it looks so jarring.
Considering the general derision being shown to Nvidia's DLSS 5 showcase I sincerely hope later iterations of PSSR do not veer down that god awful route
Another giant issue this has to deal with is that I imagine everyone will be gushing over Crimson Desert so much that when it releases the only traction Starfield will get is in comparison videos between what old BGS titles were, what they've now become, and how new innovative developers are six to eight galaxies ahead in terms of scope,, technology.and just simple competence.
I'm interested to see what they're actually providing in terms of gameplay. It's mechanically been the same game they've made since the original Uncharted so a big change is welcome. It's also a slight worry though, .as they're basically having to implement new systems that ND have yet to prove themselves in.
Automatically interested in this as soon as I read the headline. Despite Sony's pathetic lack effort theres still some great games to play on the headset
@Max_the_German The OG PS5 also had a HDMI 2.1 slot for 120hz but the console UI didn't have a VRR option. It came months later as a patch if I remember correctly.
@Voltan PS5's VRR only kicks in at 48fps. If it drops lower or the base target is 40 then, unlike the Series X, it doesn't stabilise the framerate on your display. They'd need to unlock the framerate on balanced but I'd imagine it'd be rather messy. Locking it at 40 is a good choice from PA for balanced mode. Not sure Sony have ever explained why that's the case.
@Boomers-r-us As you say 40fps is a good choice for a 120hz TV because the frames are displayed for three screen refreshes (40 into 120) which gives a stutter free experience. I read elsewhere that the base PS5 is locked at 45fps which makes abolutely no sense at all.
Hitting 40 doesnt sounds promising unless they point out that its locked at 40 for a 120hz TV. Its needs to have a locked 30 for standard 60hz TVs if that's in quality mode. If it's hitting 40 but it's on a 60fps performance mode then that's outside VRR range and is going to look as choppy as Chopper Reid.
Played an hour or two last night and then turned it off. Thought it was pretty mid to be honest. Nothing was outright terrible but neither was anything very good. It'll be interesting to see how this plays in a years time should it survive.
They should add a mini game or two for DOA7. It'd be fun to have all the buff dudes and busty dames shooting some V ball down at the beach. It could really ahem...'flesh out' the experience.
Played this (and got the Platinum) on release and it's still easily the most joyously entertaining game of the last decade for me. It's also one of the few games that dropped my jaw for the sheer spectacle of some of the most imaginative levels.
Am I to assume that not one adult human being at Sony didn't think it was a bad idea to throw out a trailer for a much maligned Extraction Shooter ,that's only just starting to win back some fans, barely a day after closing a studio that you forced to make a GaaS and then cancelled? Are they seriously that blind to miss something so facking obvious?
I'm now pretty much certain that Marathon will flop.

Normal people in the real world get up to all manner of weird and wonderful things in a free society and most welcome that sort of freedom. Why does all that suddenly get whisked away when gaming is involved? It's a throwaway sex scene in a throwaway popcorn game of gloriously nonsensical excess.
Lies of P was a Bloodborne clone right down to a side quest giver being a tearful silhouetted figure behind a frosted window. Nioh isnt perfect but it certainly has its own unique personality.
I put 20hrs into the demo alone (even finding a way to slay the inaccessible wraith) so it's an easy decision to purchase this. It's a good start to this frantic period of releases.
