We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
I honestly don't recall the last time performance factored into reviews for most games outside maybe Cyberpunk, but that was obviously an extreme example and the PC version of it (which also had a lot of technical issues at launch) didn't get dinged for it much
It won't. Modern game consoles don't care about the resolution of your TV, they render the game at the same internal resolution no matter what and then either downscale or upscale that image to match the resolution of your TV. In other words, whether you play the PS5 version of ER on a 720p TV or an 8K TV, the performance will be the same.
I'm torn because the PS4 version BC is the best way to play the game right now, but it's also the best it will ever be. Whereas the PS5 version might get patched in coming weeks to improve its performance problems. Chances are I'll be playing this game for a long, long time so I feel like I should still "invest" in a save on the PS5 version and hope the improvements come.
As much as I would prefer to get it for PS5, I cannot deny how wonderful VRR is on XSX, so I may go the Microsoft route for this title (If I end up getting it).
yeah i disagree as well, mainly because it gives zero incentive to from, to get a handle of their performance issues, (for well over a decade now)
No one is hand waving. We bought VRR displays for reasons like this and that's why the tech exists. I have a PC and a console that supports it and a console that doesn't. Im going with the ones that support it.
Man that's a huge bummer. I'm not desperate to play it since the story is not important and spoilers are of no worry but I don't know if I can wait that long for PC patches that may never come. I guess I will wait a few days and hope for a miracle official patch and/or community fixes.
PC players begging for Bloodborne may not be getting Bloodborne on PC, but they're getting a Bloodborne-like experience for PC. ;)
I cannot believe some people are seriously considering playing the PS4 version of this game (with 10x slower load times, lower picture quality, no dualsense support etc.) over the PS5 version just because framerate can drop down to a minimum of 45fps (which is already better than any FromSoft game released ever) ...
Obviously this stuff matters, and isn't great. But every reviewer did play the game in this state, or even worse, right?
Sounds like it doesn't detract from the experience too much.. guess we'll see when it's out everywhere.

Yup , that's why I never trust them for any game.
I'm just glad I have horizon until this masterpiece can get fixed.
Honestly, I'm sure we've all played through worse from them by this point already. So I'm not going to worry myself about what's the best version and just play the game.
It's amazing how inept and technically terrible From is. This continues to happen with EVERY game they make and we fans continue to give them a pass.
How was this not a factor in reviews, either via a reduction in score or worded in the the review itself? There is this weird acceptance in the media and from From Soft fans that terrible performance is part and parcel of what you can expect and it's incredibly odd to me as someone who's not really a fan.
At least PS has the option of PS4 version via BC on PS5.
You can't play the X1 or X1X version of ER on Series S/X without being completely offline.

The saves are compatible. PS4 -> PS5 only and both ways on Xbox.

I would urge people to give the PS5 version a try first tbh.
Super disappointed with Fromsoft. Their PC ports have been solid pretty much ever since the clusterfuck with DS1. I'll hold out hope they can improve it with patches but I'm not optimistic. Maybe modders can bail us out.
Nobody cried about 92 metascore not reflecting performance issues with Bloodborne.
Game is a masterpiece regardless and while the performance is not *perfect* it's still playable with no game-breaking bugs...

Yeah, this boggles my mind. Both PS5 modes still sound way better than Bloodborne on the PS4 or the Souls games on the PS3/360. But then, I've never been someone who cares that much about framerate (unless it's one of our games).
Or FROM could like, not put out a game that performs like dogwater
Fortunately, I have a VRR monitor so I'll play it on that on Series X.
Yeah, that's too much of a trade off. This performs "well" for a From game on console. It's easy to forget how bad it was in the PS3/360 gen.

kinda funny to come to this conclusion when so many other games are fine. Maybe, its more to do with From as developers? Not exactly the first game with technical problems. Actually I'm pretty sure every single one of their games had frame pacing isues on consoles since at least Dark Souls 1.
I don't think that's right unless I'm missing something.
The PS5 version of Horizon Physical doesn't offer the PS4 version for example.
Only if you buy PS5 digitally do you typically get both versions regardless (or buy the PS4 version and redeem the PS5 upgrade on the store page).
Thank you for the information in both senses.The saves are compatible. PS4 -> PS5 only and both ways on Xbox.

I will take your advice and quit worrying.
The PC version seems so utterly unacceptable. Getting sick of this trend of stuttery ass PC versions.
On their defense, making a fully open-world game is several orders of magnitude more complex than what they've been doing until now... but yeah, not ideal
