Jump over to PC and choose both 140fps and quality. ;p

I'm at least happy we are past the era of 'the human eye can only see 30fps'.

Well, 140fps, quality and financial ruin.

Ah, the good 'ol: you have three options, choose two!

Though, not paying annually for multiplayer access certainly helps with the financial ruin problem. ;p

Promise of 60 FPS with ray tracing sees a pretty quick stumble.

Stephanie Stirling has been beating the drum on fake "quality" modes that give you RT at the expense of everything else. Think it was this one but it might also have been this one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

On the Pro, Quality mode is 2176x1224 at 30fps

And Performance mode is 1536x864 at 60fps

That’s… Terrible D:

This seems poor, why get this console it isnt hitting the bar that I thought we were getting with the jump from ps4 pro to ps5 and there are so few games.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I honestly think they rushed the PS5 because of COVID. They should have waited longer and put better hardware inside. The jump from PS4 to the 5 is small.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Now imagine the jump from PS5 Pro to PS6.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Now THAT is a hot take. I stopped buying consoles after the PS360 era, because the PS4 was absolute garbage. I don’t think I’m going back to consoles, but I recognize that the PS5 is a fantastic machine. PS4’s load times were sometimes in the MINUTES, and PS5’s are near instant.

That's the only upgrade tho. Going from PS2 to PS3 was a huge difference and PS3 to PS4 come upgrades to graphics as well as a new UI and plenty of new features like party chat, game recording & streaming built in. To be frank I did switch to PC because the PS4 was ungodly slow and there was massive pop in on games like GTA. But the PS5 isn't a huge leap in technology like other generation upgrades were

The technical prowess on the PS5 is fantastic for the price, but so many games aren’t optimized to take advantage of it. There’s no way its hardware can’t hit 120FPS at 1080p (or 1440p for less demanding games) but publishers lock it down or force raytracing and extra “QUALITY” settings that tank the framerate. If you put a similar computer together, you’re absolutely going to get 1080p100+fps in most games.

Edit: also I remember arguing so much with Reddit fanboys who constantly claimed it would have ZERO load times ever because the SSD is better than any computer SSD ever… lul.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

That's definitely a big part of it. If devs had more time they could optimize for it just like any device. But for a late 2020 release it was a little underwhelming
