Good, I own this but haven't played it yet except for like the first 30 minutes. Will dive back in for sure!

This is interesting, I loved the game back when it launched, I think I will replay on the Pro now.

Yes. Just reinstalled and noticed the 40 fps mode. Trying it now.

Don't think it's needed for this one. Performance mode looks razor sharp.

That's nice. The HDR black level raise was definitely an issue.

Here's all the available modes on the Pro
Edit: I've replaced the Discord links with Imgur links since the former will expire in 24 hours.

Ahh, damn. DF won't be covering this one then. Only bad PSSR implementations will be covered. /s

How does a dead studio put to shame someone like Remedy?

Hey, some out there may enjoy "hold a left or right on the stick to dodge, no matter where the attack is coming from" style of combat.

Game is 70% off this week just snagged it! Ps5pro owners support those who do right by us!
That's great. This is also UE4 game, afraid it will repeat the same mistake as jedi-survivor.

aren’t you hyping up Alan Wake? Doesn’t that game play like ass too? Why is it supposedly better?

They are not dead. They just released [REDACTED] which is a small shooter game in the same universe.
4k 40? Need 120hz TV to get his option right? Interesting, can it be uncap?Here's all the available modes on the Pro

i beat it twice on 60fps mode with no RT. Now on the Pro at 60fps 4K RT this looks like a launch PS6 game, wow

I'd like to be patriotic as a Finn, but Remedy has never been at the top when it comes to performance, even with their custom engine.
(Now Housemarque on the other hand, they are deities. Even with UE4/Returnal. The demoscene roots really show. And the particles, ohmigod.)

That’s good, thought they bombed out of existence
Seem like a talented studio that just needs a second chance
Shameful that they are able to create such a good patch and devs at Remedy and EA can’t

Did you just describe Hellblade 2 and Alan Wake?

The game was already pretty gorgeous on base PS5. Can't wait to try it on the Pro.

Is the balanced mode available for base PS5?

Calling Hellblade 2 a game is giving it way to much credit.
I've played VR expierences that have more gameplay than Hellblade 2.

Never played the first.
I almost bought it on Steam for a $2 because I heard it had VR support. Lol. But fuck that, never again.

Yes. There were countless instances where the RT shadows from Fidelity had no rasterized substitute at all in Performance, meaning no shadows/occlusion of any kind translating in characters floating, or plenty of scenes where the harsh spotlights were producing wonderful dynamic shadows in Fidelity and absolutely nothing in Performance Mode.You mean ray traced shadows, right? Because the game definitely had shadows all over the place (and dark spaces)

No.
It's a much better game in pretty much every aspect, not that they're comparable in any way

Is it really 6k upscaled? That's much higher then I'd thought. 8k (upscaled) is going to be somewhat common come the PS6. It'll be interesting to see do 8k TV sales come off life support going forward.

Why?

My guess is that PS6 Pro will be pitched as the console where 8K is standard
So…2032-2034

I’m genuinely curious why this game was panned, it looks great
Trying to decide between a few other games to play next including AW2

Game looks superb in 4k60 with RT we have a new contender for best on pro

knowing how to "properly" play the awful combat system doesn't change the fact that it is an awful combat system

Yeah, that's correct. On a 60hz TV I think it defaults to 4k 30 fps quality mode instead of the 4k 40fps balanced mode you're seeing there in my screenshot.
Nope, it appears to be locked to 40 fps.

Why to what? that it's a much better game? Because ... it is. Both players and critics scores show.
Or why to them not being comparable? They're not similar kinds of games at all, Callisto is a very linear corridor based game, AW2 is a lot more open ended with multiple big zones and has a lot more to its gameplay.
Ah, so you've never played it before. That makes sense.
It has good graphics but the game play is mediocre, give it a shot, you'll see yourself.

I must say the game does have its issues, but many of them were blown out of proportion, especially complaints about combat. At a certain point in the game you will have melee, your grip glove thing, and then your guns.With all of these in hand you should RARELY be using melee and even then maybe a few enemies. Hence my comments on wtf people even doing in combat to be this bad.
I remember complaints about melee when dealing with 5 and up enemies in a room...Like no shit, you're supposed to be mixing up the tools available to you, not simply trying to melee everything.
- ending cliff hanger
- re-used boss (two-head)
- a bit too linear in areas
- too many "squeeze through here" traversal spots
- combat is basic
+ combat while basic, is impactful
+ looks amazing
+ world lore is neat
+ awesome aesthetic
+ weapon upgrades are significant
+ weapon upgrade visual is awesome
+ combat mix of melee, guns, and glove are awesome
+ great voice acting and cast
+ banger song made for the game

Yeah, this always looked amazing and with some of the best ray-tracing I’ve seen on a console. This 40 fps 4K mode is just fucking wow. The Pro delivering the goods.
