As someone who only played Bloodborne finally this year, it's absolutely still worth playing even at 30fps and you'll barely think about it once it 'begins'
@4K 60FPS it’s not optimized for it, There’s only 15 ps5 games that support it. Most likely they’re won’t be a update anytime soon either because the developer has yet to release anything since the day one update and the developer isn’t know for pushing out updates because it’s a small studio.
Thanks, Michael. Great job as always. Tried R&C and it’s remarkable. The amount of headroom they left on the table to fix the frame rate is crazy. A full 30fps extra with VRR. All we need now is Guerrilla to implement some 120hz modes for Forbidden West. To be honest, it needs it.
The PC community would like to welcome the PlayStation community to the year 2013, its great to see you finally get VRR, shame its well behind the Xbox implementation :P
@@lilpp4791 You must have not been around these fps related comment sections 5~10 years ago. You would get attacked by a horde of people claiming that the human eye cannot see past 30fps or even 20fps whenever you said anything about 60 or higher.
Crazy how people kept peddling this misinformation, given PC gamers with their 100+ Hz CRT monitors knew well back in the 1990s that this is an utter lie. PS360 generation of consoles with their miserable 30 fps caps spoilt people in the wrong direction.
@@captaincrunch1707 They won't and they can't. It'll need to be a complete remake on a new engine like with Demons souls. At that point I'd be more practical to make Bloodborne 2.... Bloodborne 60 fps literally won't happen, it's impossible.
In future updates, it would be nice if you covered games like Demons Souls remake, Returnal, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Horizon Forbidden West, GT7, and Elden Ring
Horizon 2 and GT7 are not supported currently - even with the VRR on unsupported games option. GT7 doesn’t need it so urgently, Horizon would be interesting.
They already talked about it in the DF direct. There's big limitations of ps5 vrr like it doesn't support freesync/gsync displays and is limited to 48hz minimum when pc GPU and xbox can go as low as 20hz cos of LFC.
A question: how does the dynamic resolution work on ps5? Since the ps5 only supports HD and 4k resolutions. How is it then possible to to have a 1440p dynamic resolution when the output resolution is still 4k?
Output resolution and render resolution are two different things. Render resolution is what the game internally renders the game. For example if a game renders internally to 1440p the system will take that 1440p image and upscale it to 4k before outputting to your 4k display.
@@BigMac5 Aahh soo the implementation of dynamic resolution is sort of using dlss or ffx on pc. And the lower the dynamic resolution is used the harder the upscaling has to work which results in worse picture quality.
The video does not even deal with the VRR range. Because VRR on PS5 only works in the range of 48-120hz, so VRR cannot work in a frame range of 1-47 frames. On the XBox the range is from 40-120hz, but it also depends on the TV/monitor which range is supported. But Sony has unfortunately set the range here to 48-120hz. If the frames are below the range of 48-120hz, i.e. 1-47 frames, the default synchronization method on HDMI 2.1 would be LFC (Low Framerate Compensation -> Frame doubling or tripling to be back in the VRR range), otherwise VRR is simply not used here and it most likely will uses V-Sync again, which then leads to stuttering again. However, if a game supports LFC, you can no longer rely on the fps output, because frames are then doubled or tripled. So if the frames fall below 48, then e.g. 45 frames will be displayed on the TV as 90hz. However, this does not correspond to the actual fps, because these are actually 45 fps.
You also forget to mention that ps5 games this gen have ran at higher fps than xbox. The higher vrr range is suitable due to the differences in performance. Xbox needs the lower bounds, ps5 hasnt needed it. And as we have seen, in supported games this isnt an issue. Unsupported games bar a handful all run better on ps5. The xbox use case is literally only better for games last gen that dont support it. Again more focus of what came before instead of whats out now
@@titlasagna2172 because generally, the 60fps RT modes on ps5 first part games are better than the solutions xbox puts forward. Console gamers arent pc gamers they wont ask for things like that. They want RT at high fps. Not better textures playing at 1080p. 1080p is saved for the series S
There is no LFC on the PS5 and it has to be coded in by devs on a game by game basis which as we know will not be many since game studios rarely give a crap. Insomniac being the exception.
Just bought the new Sony a90k today at best buy and try it on the ps5 today and just want to say the graphics look amazing and love every colors and the framerates is amazing their no lag or delay to it
Dont understand why FromSoft just does not care to optimize their games like Bloodborne when they have the capability to do so. Just give it a 60fps patch already.
they are not mutural so you can have it on and have vrr active as well as done on many pc games. Some games have adaptive vsync you can also combine with say nvidia gsync
The Sony fanboy force is strong with this video if the comments are anything to go by. It's ironic though, for years they've been defending 30fps in games, and now they're the biggest supporters of 60fps and VRR. :-)
How is dynamic res scaling even working? Isn't it based on a set fps target? You are saying both res and fps are improved but if there was that much headroom to begin with why not just run it at high resolution at 60fps to begin with and than upscale to 4k from there. what was the point of dynamic res to begin with? More Precisely why was res scale lower before?
What would system wide LFC do to help games running outside 48-120 range? Isn’t that what Insomniac are doing when unlocking frame rates at fidelity mode which are generally below 48fps?
Change your narrative to be more accurate. The whole time you're saying in the video "it's a new feature etc", more precise would be "it's a new feature for consoles", PC's have had these technologies since 2013 my friend.
@@pixytorres7117 Για εμένα το αίσθημα εξερεύνησης και "build variety" είναι σίγουρα καλύτερα από το BloodBorne που είναι λιγότερο rpg. Αλλά κατά την γνώμη μου σε όλα τα άλλα είναι ανώτερο το BloodBorne. Έχει σίγουρα πιο ενδιαφέρον lore, τα bosses είναι πιο "fun to fight " και balanced, τα trick weapons είναι ανώτερα ( μπορεί να είναι πιο λίγα αλλά όλα είναι μοναδικά σε αντίθεση με ds1, ds2, ds3, elden ring και έχουν 2 μορφές) Επίσης προτιμάω το πιο γρήγορο combat του BloodBorne. Τα Bosses του elden ring καταντανε βαρετά όταν τα πολεμάς 20 φορές το καθένα και το Open world μπορεί να είναι πανέμορφο και να έχει ενδιαφέρον πράγματα να βρεις αλλά μετά από ένα σημείο ξέρεις τι να περιμένεις. Μουσική δεν το συζητάμε καν... Φιλικά πάντα
Nice video IGN. So basically VRR is the solution to playing games on PS5 in higher frame rates with ray tracing? Since ray tracing prior to the VRR update, you couldn't handle playing a game with ray tracing features in higher frame rates, but VRR helps raise those frame rates while maintaining the ray tracing of your games and reducing anything on your screen that would hinder the frames. That's what the issue was with playing ray tracing games at higher FPS. What you guys think of the updates?
Your assessment is completely incorrect. VRR just helps synchronize the TV’s refresh rate with the output of the machine. Most console games have a 30fps locked rate where VRR would do absolutely nothing for you. VRR only helps when the frame rate is inconsistent either because it’s unlocked or unable to hit its lock.
That's not exactly what it's doing. VRR is basically allowing them to unlock the frame rate so that you get the maximum smoothness with the screen tearing and judder that would come from the inconsistent frame rate with. Basically, you're just getting the extra headroom instead of the capped frame rate for stability.
It’s pretty cool, graphics looks a bit better and Spiderman run smooth as hell. If you have a vrr tv and play fps casually or competitive, it can help quite a bit.
It seems framerates ate higher in every scenario but digital foundry played it down as nothing significant and said fps only goes higher when theres nothing complex on the scene. What a bunch of middle aged comsole warriors.
For which games? The patched games unlock framerate, but generally VRR doesn't increase framerate at all. Just smoothes out frame times and judder, clears up screen tearing.
It sounds to me like you're the one acting like a "console warrior" because you're all upset they think your preferred plastic box could have done better...
It’s true but it’s nevertheless a useful feature and I’m happy to finally have it on the ps5. 40 fps as lowest point for VRR instead of 48 would be better of course but that’s how it is currently.
@@mattrich1986 and needs it :) After all most xbox games have ran poorly vs ps5 without VRR. Dont you find it embarrassing? Xbox is literally relying on lower bounds in VRR and a hardware implementation just to match the fps and smoothness found on ps5 without it.
with the amount of physics and graphical effects going on in Bloodborne it's amazing it runs as smoothly as it does on PS4 and PS5. pc couldn't handle the graphics in Bloodborne
