Does this mean a 60fps Bloodborne?? Or was that game locked @ 30?

If they want to make PS5 Boost Mode meaningful they need to make it like PC where you can force Vsync Off and Framerate Cap off at the system level and forcibly apply it to games no matter what the game wants to do

Yeah I am not sure why they haven't mandated a "standardized" set of features/options like this, while also allowing devs to make more custom ones if they want. It seems a little silly that Cerny hasnt done something so obvious yet

Unfortunately locked. Along with Kingdom Come Deliverance, The Last Guardian, and Red Dead Redemption 2 to name some other noteworthy games.

I just finished this game and RoboCop looks amazing in quality but runs like trash. Performance is very playable but looks like trash.
Pro RoboCop would be excellent. Highly recommended game too

Toshimasa Aoki, Product Manager for PlayStation, has reconfirmed details on the PS5 Pro Game Boost feature, which was previously mentioned by lead architect Mark Cerny during the console’s announcement a few weeks ago.
PS5 Pro Game Boost is able to vastly improved the performance of more than 8,500 backwards compatible PS4 games, but it’s also able to apply some of its magic to PS5 titles. Specifically, Aoki-san revealed that even if a title is not PS5 Pro Enhanced, then Game Boost can improve things providing the game has unlocked frame rate and resolution.

An Sony executive has reconfirmed details on PS5 Pro Game Boost following comments by Mark Cerny.www.psu.com
No shit Sherlock. Same as PS4 Pro and except for a handful of games that happen to be dynamic res this is not some major win for the Pro. Games still need specific Pro patches to get a transformative boost. What would've been a big deal is if the Pro could automatically add PSSR, 16x af, or automatically boos5 resolution and framerate for games LOCKED to 30 fps and low resolutions, like Bloodborne and Driveclub for example.
With PS5 Pro, Bloodborne will still be shitty 30 fps/1080 with bad frame pacing. Driveclub will still look like smeared piss on a 4k tv. This will be good for a game like Suicide Squad though which has a dynamic resolution-yay. This WILL NOT give us the 4k/60 we've been asking for in Arkham Knight for the last NINE years!
This is why I've been saying it's insane that this $800 system is coming out and Sony hasn't AT LEAST gotten all of their own exclusives lined up for Pro patches! I knew this would be the case though as they don't care about their old games and consequently, PS5 owners enough to put in the extra effort.
If Sony can't even set an example using their own games than we sure as hell won't see 3rd parties making much effort either (on their "old" stuff like RDR2 in the case of Rockstar). Again, $800 machine guys...Sony got away with disregarding updates for a lot of ps4 exclusives when PS5 released, but seriously time for gamers to demand a bit more out of Sony now...

FF7 integrade already looks to be really sharp and crisp on ps5 with no frame rate issue, so it will be the same. FF16 could benefit in terms of frame rate, but don't expect the frame rate mode to be crisp as it was 720p in battles and around 1080p outside of battles.

Just don't expect insane improvements like from PS4 to PS5. GPU Overclock is very small this time (around 5%). Improvements will come from bandwidth increase (around 30%) which could also help CPU limited games.

Not true at all, 99,99% the game is 60fps locked.

I am curious to know who said that, and even if someone was delusional enough to say it, I doubt that makes them experts.
But then again, you clearly are cherry-picking the discourse leading up to this thing's release, cause I am sure a great number of us made our speculations clear on exactly what the Zen2 CPU remaining the same means.

So going from 36 CUs to 60 won't make any difference?
Boost doesn't mean clock only

On PS4 Pro and PS5 the boost mode improvements came only from the overclocks. People need to temper their expectations.So going from 36 CUs to 60 won't make any difference?

It's impossible for PS5 Pro as the GPU clock is basically the same of the base model
The difference here is that the GPU itself is 67% larger....
There's no way that "boost mode" won't enable the 24 added CUs

Its misleading as fuck and I hate it. Pretty much nothing includes the tax here in Canada. You just get hit with it on checkout.

Well it's 5% faster with a 30% faster memory. It should already help in many games where bandwidth is constrained, it could even help CPU limited games because it should alleviate CPU/GPU memory contention. We'll see.

Yeah I'm not sure how this is even something worth talking about.
Big shocker, games with unlocked framerate and dynamic res benefit from more power.
Hey Sony, how about you put some effort into this shit and allow US the CONSUMER to unlock the framerate in games that this isn't available in. Driveclub, Bloodborne, etc.

When they introduced the GST in Canada in the early nineties the retailers fought hard to display prices before tax and limit the psychological effect of the sales tax. And now we're here.

7 Remake is a bit sharp on performance mode with no frame rate issues however I do hope it deserves the Rebirth treatment (fidelity mode 60fps). Fidelity mode on Remake is really sharp but 30fps

Ff7 remake on ps5 has dynamic resolution on performance mode?? I thought it’s locked 1440p resolution

30FPS on these games straight up gives me nausea, something is off, probably the lack of proper motion blur. Talk about what you want about the Sony studios games, but their 30fps modes are usually great.

No just calling out people that think they know more than they really do. But if you’re right you can respond back in a couple months when the experts have a real opinion

Oh you are triggered for sure. Boost mode is nothing new, and there are games that are cpu limited. It's stating the obvious that many people already know. If you are triggered by that, you need help.No just calling out people that think they know more than they really do.

A variable frame rate is not enjoyable to play in, even if it's above 60.

"What PS5 games have unlocked framerates or dynamic resolutions? Can you list all of them along with if they have unlocked framerate, resolution or both please"
It outputs in batches, so I had to keep on asking for more. Also it did output:
Bloodborne (PS4 version on PS5)
- Unlocked Framerate: Yes (Fan-made patches on the PS4 version can unlock framerate, but no official patch yet)
- Dynamic Resolution: No (No scaling on PS5, resolution remains the same)

Ok thanks.
Yeah, I'm trying to a get a full list, but I see what you're saying about it being in batches.
Elden ring is not a technical masterpiece, without a patch I don't think it will be locked 60 as the it seems more to be CPU limited (even the PC version is not that easy to get to 60).
It is more or less funny that it needs a PS5 pro to get what was promised with the amateur version. But it can't get better as the SSD is still the same and we all know from some console warriors that only the SSD speed is the limiting factor....
And this is why, contrary to what Digital Foundry used to say, we need more if not all performance intensive games to also offer unlocked options, and ideally one of those options will be fully unlocked like 4k uncapped fps + maximum fidelity. Sure it will run at 15fps on current consoles, but in the future that same game will look and run amazing.

A warning they already issued with some PS4 games on PS5 in the begining anyway...Senran Kagura EV for example still exhibits terrible artifacting on PS5 4 years on,AC Syndicate only in the last year or so became playable without the major artifacting before so it's not like they couldn't have done it, It's not like people would sue them for some shit they don't even advertise and specifically put warnings about...but nooo Sony just hates their own fans and would rather keep incredible stuff like Bloodborne and Driveclub prisoners to 1080P/30fps for eternity.I know. You go almost illegal by Jailbreaking a PS5 and can play at rocksolid 60fps RDR2, Bloodborne, DriveClub and basically every game you can imagine, some only ever playable on Sony consoles.
You pay $700 for an hardware upgrade and can only play those countless 30fps PS4 games at 30fps.
I get those 30fps-only games could manifest issues once brutally unlocked, but you just put a classy warning on your toggle and leave the choice at the hands of your enthusiast, paying user.

God I fucking wish. You can play it at 60fps without patching it up to the part where you run through that tunnel high in the air on the way to the final tower. Then you need to patch it, play that tunnel section and re-install to play the ending at 60fps.Still waiting on that framerate unlock for The Last Guardian

To be clear, yes, I absolutely believe FF16 is hard coded to drop to 720p the second it drops into battle. Digital Foundry confirmed as much, the game could be running 1600p with the enemies on screen, and the second the battle theme changes, the game drops to 720p and never increases, that's hard coding.
