Support NeoGAF

[Tiago Rodrigues]

NEW FEATURES (PlayStation 5)

• Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and High Refresh Rate (HFR) support
  • VRR improves dynamic resolution scaling on 60Hz
  • VRR & HFR targets a refresh rate between 60Hz and 120Hz
• New “Balanced” Graphics Mode introducing 40Hz for supported displays

There's also a lot other fixes and improvements, check them here .

Hopefully the 40fps is like the Ratchet & Clank and you can play it with all graphical stuff at its best!

Such a shame the game didn't release like this, seriously...

 

[akaFullmetal]

Very nice for those have these features. 40hz is amazing to see. Loving that Sony is starting that push.

 

[Ezekiel_]

Remarkable how fast they are adding these modes in

If it's as good as the one in Ratchet, that would be the way to play this. It's Graphics mode with 40fps. Best balance between framerate and resolution.

Amazing support Insomniac has really set the bar for other Sony Studios

They just need to release the games with all these modes in there. I wouldn't mind all their games to release a bit later and much better optimized tbh.

 

[p_xavier]

Does 40pfs mode uses 120hz HDMI setting on PS5 and removes 10bit HDR?

Yeah a later release would be the compromise I think that would explain Ragnarok

 

[NeonGhost]

Performance mode is still the best for me

 

[Sosokrates]

Do the 40fps modes in this and rift apart work on tvs which dont do 120fps?

 

[mejin]

Best looking game now looking even better.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

Do the 40fps modes in this and rift apart work on tvs which dont do 120fps?

No I don't think so

 

[vito_don_corleone_]

40Hz mode is a godsend. For any game, not just Horizon.

 

[RJMacready73]

Do the 40fps modes in this and rift apart work on tvs which dont do 120fps?

no, you need a modern TV to run it in 40fps mode

Yeah

Just wait till you see 60fps it will blow your mind

With more TVs being 120hz I think 40fps needs to be a standard option

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

What do you mean?

 

[Valt7786]

The 60fps setting on console games atm usually makes them look a bit worse off. 40hz gives you smooth gameplay and the better visual settings. Its a great best of both worlds setting for consoles and absolutely needs to be a standard thing now. Would 60fps ultra settings be preferable, of course but the tech or the devs arent good enough to reach that level yet.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I'd rather have 40fps and have all graphical stuff on than 60fps without 4k output tbh.

 

[ManaByte]

Nah, I'll take 60 or 120 over 40 any day.

 

[crunchyBiscuits]

Wish I waited to play horizon. Would've liked to have tried out the 40fps mode. Let's hope Ragnarok launches with it in NOVEMBER

 

[rickybooby87]

Finally, a 40FPS mode, I haven't had a chance to test this out yet, but it should offer the best of both worlds (Performance to quality ratio).

 

[ZehDon]

Nah, I'll take 60 or 120 over 40 any day.

Agreed. 40 feels better if you're used to 30, but 60 is simply that much better again. I target 100hz on my PC, happy enough with 60hz on my consoles as a middle ground between performance and fidelity.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

What do you mean?

It could release with these modes day 1

 

[Sosokrates]

no, you need a modern TV to run it in 40fps mode

No I don't think so

 

[NeonGhost]

The 40fps still feels off rather have frames

 

[ParaSeoul]

120fps

 

[Swift_Star]

Time to do these side quests at 40fps!
This also shows promise for Ragnarok 40fps mode.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

It could release with these modes day 1

I don't think Sony would be like "yes, we can miss that fall release and release it in march if we can have 5 graphical modes instead of 2" tbh
But let's not go off topic. i can't stand that game anymore and it's not even out, lmao.

 

[Swift_Star]

we know 60fps dude lmao. 40fps is perfect for consoles right now.

 

[NeonGhost]

It’s perfect for games that are 30fps and can’t hit 60fps these are great for choice but should never be the standard

Cry me a river, will you?

The standard should not be the one of your personal choice either

 

[NeonGhost]

[p_xavier]

Yeah

I still don't know why Sony gimped the PS5, like there's NO mode that's optimal.

Standard for consoles will always be 30fps.
Just wait until this cross-gen period ends.

 

[Swift_Star]

I still think 60fps mode will continue to exist for the vast majority of games. What I really hope for is that most studios make the 40fps mode a reality for their games.

 

[Lokaum D+]

thats y i dont pre order anymore, ll play the definitive edition next year

 

[ManaByte]

These consoles aren’t running underpowered Jaguar CPUs from Day 1 like last gen. If a dev can’t hit 60 on this hardware they shouldn’t be a dev.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Don't think I've seen anyone answer this before but can the PS5 output 120hz to an HDMI 2.0 display or lower? Like maybe at 1080p 120hz?

 

[Crispy Gamer]

?? Its already been delayed it's definitely releasing this fall

It was never the standard. Only when the 7th gen dragged on longer than it should have and the 8th gen was underpowered. 2D games were always 60fps and during the PS2 era 60fps was one of the major factors in selling that next gen leap over the early days of 3D.

The levels of shitposting on GAF keeps getting higher and higher.

How are you not ashamed of yourself lmao

Go make a game yourself and then tell us you mister 200IQ

You guys remember that Matrix demo right? Can you imagine that running at 60fps on current consoles?

 

[yamaci17]

incoming 40 fps haters lol

 

[Swift_Star]

I was happier before I knew what fps meant. This makes all gaming talk miserable.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Exemplary after launch support.
This game literally keeps getting better and better.

 

[saintjules]

Nah, I'll take 60 or 120 over 40 any day.

I'd have to agree. I love the fact a 40hz mode exists. When I tried it on Rift Apart, I didn't get into it all that much.

 

[ChiefDada]

Anyone test it yet?

With further engine optimization, absolutely.
