God of War Ragnarok Will Support 4K/30 FPS as well as Dynamic 4K/60 FPS mode on PS5

- Rumor Sony
This gen has been great with focus on framerate. Been choosing performance mode every single time, it's made a huge difference in response feel and reducing my nausea problems. Horizon with the more recent updates looks so good, I can barely tell the differences between mode visual wise but the gains of more frames is so large.
There's no native 4k version of GOW 2018 on the PS5. It's 4k checkerboard at 30 and 60fps.
RT takes way too much performance IMO, I don't think it's worth it.
60fps mode sounds good. Pre orders in Australia just went up 4 minutes ago, managed to get myself the collector's edition. My first collector's edition of anything in a few years and I love the look of the hammer.
So yeah all true btw

Highly doubt this is the case, but I would love to be wrong. I assume 60fps modes are a byproduct of having to run on old tech, and once they don't have to care about that they'll start trying to squeezing as many particle effects as possible out of the system at 30fps.
Again though, not my intention to be a wet blanket. I'll be over the damn moon if I'm wrong!
I think 60FPS will be more prevalent than previous generations but maybe not every game like it is currently. I hope we get Pro consoles that allow for every game to get 60FPS modes though.
All I care about now is when VRR and 40FPS modes become available. Does anyone recall how it took for Rachet and Horizon from launch?
I feel like a 60fps option will always be there. Every PS5 only game has it so far; Demons Souls, R&C, Returnal.
Don't mind that it's dynamic 4k at 60fps because that leaves the door open for PS5 Pro to be 4k 60 locked.
Hopefully 40 FPS mode will be ready by launch but I'm not going to be holding my breath or waiting for it to be released before starting.
The thing I'm hating myself about is that I'll definitely end up double dipping again. I'll buy this on PS5 then will inevitably buy it again on PC.
They can do this and still offer performance modes. We see that already.
As most of us expected, this is the extent of shorter loading times we'll get in the game.
I still can't believe some people actually thought they'd remove the crawling/squeeze through/slow walk sections in the PS5 version.
Did anyone actually think that? Obviously the level design of the game wasn't going to be altered for PS5.
I keep telling myself I refuse to do that and wait for PC.
We'll see how long I last. Feeling confident for now.
Nah, it was definitely more than that lol
I remember back when GoW:R was first announced to be cross-gen, someone on the EZA podcast (I believe it was Isla, I'm not sure) said that they could just remove those sections in the PS5 version and someone else on the panel agreed with them.
So it was something that at least a good number of people thought would be within the realm of possibility.
Even on Era if you go back to the first few GoW:R cross-gen threads, you'd see this coming up and people believing it was possible.
I'd honestly be disappointed if the PS5 version doesn't have this. Not like it would be some huge dealbreaker, but I don't wanna go through the realm between realms all the time.
The only way they'd do that is if they removed all the conversations that happens between the characters in those parts from the PS4 version as well and have the PS4 players walk in silence until the door shows up for them. I personally don't think that's likely.
I think they will do the realm between realms thing still and the door on the other side loads super fast on PS5 but then it's up to you if you wanna hang around and listen to the conversation or you wanna go through the door and cut off the characters.
Really hope the performance mode isn't going to have the same blurry IQ issue Horizon FW used to have. That would kill me because the combat's too good to play at 30 FPS.
Horizon is the only game from Sony that has had this problem. Every other game with a performance mode has looked just fine.
