Another batch of testing, primarily based on what people asked for in comments (and that I had access to)... Avengers (30/60), Killzone (60), Medievil (60), Broforce (60, insane load speed, fixes the hitching at the start of levels), Mafia Trilogy (30), Hellblade (60, graphical glitches here and there), AC Odyssey (30), Nioh 1&2 (60)
Missed this when it was posted, just wanted to say thanks. I really appreciate the generous effort you've put into checking games out. Hope you get some time to rest and enjoy playing games for fun, and not editing!
Mafia III is marked as unplayable (severe graphical glitches) in OP, but seeing this video it look like it's playable, maybe some specific areas are worse?
I got more info on the discrepancy. The severe issues are with messed-up lighting in the open world with dynamic day-night cycle. When you run missions, those are (always?) set to a specific time of day, and look fine. That includes the beginning of the game, as shown in this video.
I'm not sure if the lighting problems are conditional--maybe parts of the open world look fine?--but it looks pretty darn bad when it's glitched.
I'm seriously eyeing Nex Machina and it's cheap until the end of the day. According to the Pro Enhancements thread, it runs at 1890p BUT you have to force supersampling in the OS. Do we know how the PS5 handles these situations? Will it automatically supersample, giving me 1890p and 60fps on my 1080p display?
Some games that require forced supersampling on Pro are definitely running at the higher resolution mode on PS5. So for now, I've assumed and posted that this always happens. However, this is conjecture, and three things have not been tested for certainty:
1. If hooked to a 1080p display, do you still get the high res mode?
2. Is this affected by the Game Preset setting in the PS5 OS? I think there are technical hurdles here, so I doubt it...but maybe.
3. Do all the games that had forced supersampling act the same on PS5?
It'd be great if the thread could cooperate to figure this out for sure. Here's how:
A. At least one user with a 4K TV, and at least one user with a 1080p TV.
B. A game they both own which doesn't have automatic supersampling. Here's a list I think are good candidates:
Call of Duty: Black Ops III
Dishonored 2
Everybody's Golf
The Evil Within 2
Any FIFA game
Final Fantasy VII Remake
Genshin Impact (free to play, so anyone could download)
GT Sport
Any MLB The Show
Tony Hawk 1+2
The Witcher III
The Witness
If we can organize that--or maybe several pairs of people, with different games--then I can give steps for how to test thoroughly. Please let me know if anybody's up for that. If not, I completely understand. Thanks!
