Who's push? These aren't first party devs who could be beholden to marketing on a box. The developers are going to do what the developers want to do. In this case that's 4k 30.

Mortal Shell Enhanced Edition - March 4th, Free Upgrade, 4K 60FPS Series X and PS5 (4k 30FPS Series S)

Yes thats what i say. They can do what they want. Just find the 4K push weird for the machine.
R...right, no one's saying otherwise. You don't need to be defensive, we're just talking about the patch. People are pointing out that not having the 60fps mode (at least in this first iteration) is a bit weird, in the sense that the only real "bottlenecks" re: the Series S vs X are more about framebuffer size and resolution, so it's counter-intuitive.
I'm not being defensive but I just don't get how it is counterintuitive. You can use the power of the S to halve the frame rate and keep resolution or downgrade the resolution and double the frame rate. People are just surprised because every other game thus far has chosen the double the frame rate route. I doubt either option is really easier to implement.

I know this won't be part of March games, but if they wanted they could offer the PS4 version and thus the PS5 version will be ours after 2 days.
Oh cool! As a huge Souls fan I always wanted to try this and never got around to it. Will pick this up on PS5.
Loving all these late gen games that are getting updates. Is it just me, or is this one of the best generation transitions ever? Obviously if consoles were easier to get it'd be way better. 😉

I'd say it is.
Not only is 98% of the previous gen library playable and in many cases, enhanced in some way in the new consoles; we've also gotten an unprecedented amount of cross-gen upgrades for no extra cost. Like, I struggle to remember many games that did this in 2013 / early 2014. Games like Assasin's Creed 4 had an upgrade path on PS4, but I think you had to shell out $10 or something. Games like DMCV or Control, which force you to rebuy the PS5 / Xbox Series version, are outliers.
From mobs to brutal boss encounters in 60FPS

1st embargo i imagine? Cool anyway I'll probably grab this on XSX as 1st half of year is sparce so far.
I think a lot of people found out that this game looked cool yesterday lol
I get the Xbox version in the post this morning for £13. Can't wait till the update hits and I can dig in.
Recently finished it over on PC. It's a decent game but it's definitely a lite one. I finished it in around 12 hours and tbh I felt it was just getting going as it ended. NG+ seems a little pointless as I'd pretty much discovered the whole map and its secrets already.
I'm all for short, good quality games but this felt like it could have used another area and boss fight to be satisfying.

Prioritizing 4k at 30fps on a console pushed as a 1080p gaming experience is so damn stupid. It's decisions like this that will cause people to question the capabilities of the S when they should be questioning the though processes of some developers.
I really really hope they reconsider and add a 60fps mode for Series S. Looks like a nice Souls-like game.
Someone was passing footage of this game off as Elden Ring leaks yesterday and it got me hyped, so I'll definitely be nabbing this one in the next couple weeks lol.
Edit: seems I'm not alone haha

It's up on PSN.
PS5 version clocks in at barely over 4GB! It was already pretty small, but this one is even more compact. Nice to see a trend of PS5 games being smaller than their last-gen counterparts.

Damn, that's pretty cool. I just checked my copy on PC, and it's a bit over 11GB.
Had anyone heard where you can actually buy this? Neither Best Buy nor Amazon have it.Nice boxart btw.:
It's a small game to begin with (tiny developer) and the size was further shrunk down for the PS5 / Series versions probably due to the efficiency of the SSDs, so there's less redundancy of assets.
I bought a copy of this after being tricked into thinking it was Elden Ring. If it looked cool enough to be the next From Software game, then it was worth a shot.
How can I tell if I have the enhanced edition installed? I think it just updated over night, but when I load into the game the menu doesn't say enhanced anywhere, and there aren't any video options. I assume it is fine but just want to be sure. Series X if that matters.

Awesome, thank you so much!!! Definitely going to pick this up!
I don't think they've confirmed one way or another. Looking it up online, I only see references to their announcement that it would be coming in November, but it obviously never did. There's no update on PC today yet.
Canada here, haven't seen it anywhere as of yet.@egg

I haven't tested on PS5 beyond the initial level, but at this point the framerate feels like a solid 60 to me. Just going by feel, I don't notice any drops.
It's really nice to have this -- I held off on the original, stopping a couple hours in, because I just didn't want to keep going at 30 fps.
My only real note is about the dual sense features. All of it just feels really out of place to me. Every little thing makes the controller jab me -- Walking over a tin can on the ground will produce a sharp jolt. The trigger resistance thingy on stoneform is neat, I guess, but I honestly would rather go without it. I guess it works as a novelty but for me it makes the controls feel less precise.
