You about to be insufferable for the next couple of weeks, aren't you?

 

[kdslittlebro]

Finally Already expected, but now I can completely ignore this game’s existence for one more wk

 

[kdslittlebro]

Dawg, yall need to stop watching and reading reviews. Theres nothing more in it you need to know. check out the little headlines and hype tweets and leave it at that

Yea I’m cool on all footage and explanations for this one. The skeleton is the same, just tell me the scores/recommendations. I’ll come back around and catch full thoughts after I beat it. The spoiler risk is just too heavy

 

[Ironman]

Just one week yall hold it together

You about to be insufferable for the next couple of weeks, aren't you?

God of War Ragnarök on PS5 - The Digital Foundry Tech Review

on average the performance mode is ~ 1800p locked 60 fps

"Quality mode renders at a full native 4K while performance mode instead uses dynamic resolution scaling ranging from 1440p up to 2160p. On average, pixel counts reveal that it spends most of its time around 1872p. What's new this time, however, is the inclusion of TAA with upsampling. This TAAU solution helps even lower pixel counts appear suitably 4K and as a result, image quality is greatly increased over the prior game. The two modes look very, very close."


or can unlock and get 1440p at ~ 80-90 fps average

"The high frame-rate mode basically removes the 60fps cap and bottoms out the resolution at 1440p, allowing the frame-rate to reach for 120 frames per second instead. The reality, however, is that we're mostly looking at a performance between 80 to 90 frames per second in most scenarios."

The Digital Foundry video and article has big spoilers btw

I mean, not being able to move the camera while running was kinda wack lol.

 

[Cuban Pete]

So did they move the release date up cause of the leaks or what?

I was thinking of going Quality HFR/VRR, but if the visuals are real close, 80-90 FPS might be too buttery to pass up.
