Days Gone PS5 will be up 60FPS w/ Dynamic 4K
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
game looks phenomenal lol. But the screen space reflection is kinda showing its limits there. You can see that a lot of the nearby objects like vehicles or the petrol stations weren't reflected. I wonder if they can add in a limited ray tracing reflection to the puddles or water surface near the main character.
Just means it'd drop the resolution from 4k occasionally (or maybe frequently lol) to keep the framerate at 60 I think.
Is there a locked 4K 30 option? I actually dislike non standard definition more than unlocked frame rate.
It means that the game will prioritize keeping the game running at 60 FPS even if it has to lower the 4K resolution from 4K down to as an example 2K,1440p or even 1080p in order to keep that 60 FPS consistent.
won't that cause some blurry mess? If it's fluctuating between those resolutions? I mean on my computer if I run something in a non native res it's blurry as hell..?
I'll definitely give this another shot at a more stable frame rate
I'm sure I'll be dragged for that comment.
I don't know why, but consoles seem much better at scaling upward than PCs are (DLSS games being the exception)

Semms the same thing as GOT too and I presume all games which got updated recently have a thrid mode for PS5 only (like how PS4 pRO had special modes over PS4). So we can expect old games to be 4K/dynamic and 60 FPS.
Nah, the upscaling on consoles is pretty good. Almost no game ran at native 4K on PS4 Pro (most of them rendered natively at resolutions between 1080p and 1800p, often also temporally reconstructed from lower resolutions using checkerboard rendering) and most often managed to look stunning when on 4K displays. And tons of games use dynamic resolution nowadays.
Dynamic resolutions and reconstruction like DLSS or checkerboard rendering are very viable solutions for keeping games looking sharp.
Why is it that this can not hold native 4k or a locked 60? Or am i overestemating how powerfull the ps5 is. Or is this an indication of what we will see with most openworld games.
they are just being conservative with what they promise. Even gears 5 has dynamic resolution AND drops below 60 on seriesx
It may be at 4k 60fps 99% of the time, but they can't say it's locked, because someone will come along and sue them for false advertising, like they did in Killzone shadow fall. They will always say **Variable frame rate up 60 and Variable resolution up to 4K.**
Possibly.
Dynamic resolution
Change resolution in which images are rendered depending on how long they take to render.
Dynamic Resolution in Unreal Engine
A method of dynamically adjusting the screen percentage to improve performance in Unreal Engine.

Temporal upsampling
Resolve temporal anti aliasing to larger target image to get overall better image quality from smaller rendering resolutions.
Screen Percentage with Temporal Upscale in Unreal Engine
An overview of using Screen Percentage with Temporal Upsampling in Unreal Engine.

Techniques together work very well as temporal upsampling hides resolution changes a bit.
This makes me think more BC enhancement patches are yet to be announced.
I think it's more about exclusives really. 2020/2021 is incredible for PlayStation compared to 2013/2014.
Yes, kinda. It´s a mediocre clone of TLOU in an open world.
I enjoyed HZD far more.

Honestly soo happy this is the case.
I played for about 5 hours on PS4 just before Ghost of Tsushima and just wished for better performance.
Glad to revisit!

it's closer to Horizon than TLoU. The big differences are the hordes of zombies and motorcycle. Combat is not as good as Horizon though.
Good to see people are still underestimating how much grunt it takes to run AAA games with the level of fidelity we expect at 60fps consistently. The 4K60 dream won't last very long (let alone the 120hz one, lmao).
How is it closer to Horizon than TLoU? It's almost exactly what you'd except a poor man's open world TLoU game would be.
The location itself isn't as flashy as some other open world games, but DG is one of the best-looking and best realized open worlds out there. It's going to look absolutely stunning on the PS5.
It is more like RDR Undead Nightmare with some TLOU style stealth and the horde mechanics.
And yes it is really fun. The open world is really well designed and feels well realized. The atmosphere is one of the best this gen IMO.

Just a warning, it is a bit of a slow burn the first hours so keep that in mind. It is kind of similar to RDRedemption 2 in that regard. Not mechanically but pacing wise.
I hope you like it.
Yeh that's a more important part of it but I think all these things (UI and DualSense too) are super compelling as a total package for that 113m install base of PS4 owners.
No! the tech now is good at masking the lower resolution to look crisp. Digital Foundry and others have teased this with their intent to look for a way to factor in or analyze Clarity. If you look at God of War or Horizon Zero Dawn or SpiderMan on PS4Pro, all 3 use dynamic resolution. You would have trouble finding the areas of the screen that are blurry, if you ask me. The games are astoundingly sharp.
I don't think dynamic 4k is an issue at all. It will give us better performance each time, not waste resources, and the image will still be sharp.
This is not at all what DF says is happening in Gears 5. A Coalition developer told DF that a bug was introduced that is caused by the interaction between the streaming device and the changes Coalition made with their low latency optimization which is causing the occasional long frame (stutter) and they are working on an update to eliminate this.
Spider-Man uses dynamic resolution plus temporal injection, but I'm pretty sure God of War and Horizon use straight checkerboard 4K.
As a pc gamer I can admit Ive struggle with enjoying games on the ps4 because of 30fps. Days gone was one of these games I couldnt enjoy cause of 30fps. The fact it had gyro aiming was a pleasant surprise, though. Because of the 30fps I stop playing. I will continue once I get a ps5.
ah for sure. I kinda group up both into dynamic resolution. Because it is not native 4k. But still, they all look sharp as heck.
If it ever comes to PC then we shall see. Until then you are just making assumptions.
Why not take advantage of vrr if they cant maintain a locked frame rate? That's the whole point of hdmi 2.1
