And I love every single bit out of it. It looks so crazy good on my 4K, the only other game that gave me this polished 4K native vibe was Spider-Man, so I'll sticking with this mode for my playthrough.
How's the framerate in resolution mode? Might go with this.

Only played the beginning part of Intermission and I just adore Yuffie and her animations. OST is great as always! Also that 60 FPS... DAMN and the load times! I envy those who didn't play the PS4 version and are playing the PS5 version for the very first time

Locked 30fps. It actually feels pretty good though, so I could see why people would feel comfortable picking it even when 60 is an option. 60 is too buttery smooth for me not to choose though

Jawmuncher I finally got it, you were right! So for everyone else who has the disc version but also the PS+ version installed:

Delete the PS+ version, pop-in the Play Disc and ignore any "Insert Data Disc" prompts, go to PS Store and simply search for Intergrade or click the ad-banner and it will show you the PS5 upgrade. The Upgrade option did not appear on the tab of the game for me.
Awesome, added to op!

30, but locked 30 and super smooth and after 5 minutes you don't even think about it anymore that it's not 60. Definitely worth a try, switching doesn't need a reboot and works on the fly.

Thanks, will definitely try it out. Choices choices!

Man they didn't make it easy to get this new version, I was totally looking over the "ps4 upgrade" option in the list because I was looking for something like "Intergrade: PS5".

I started replaying FFVII Remake several days ago attempting to get more of the trophies so I could get a nice amount of trophy transfers for the PS5 version. Now that I have 3 trophies to go for the PS4 platinum, I have the dilemma of wanting to platinum for both platforms, but not wanting to play through the game twice to get the trophies and not wanting to fatigue myself by playing through the entire PS4 version on hard mode when the PS5 version has such drastic updates that I really want to experience. I guess I'll go for the platinum for PS5 and maybe way later on I'll go back to the PS4 version, tough as I'm sure it'll be after having played with all the improvements of the PS5 version.

Do you still need to use the play disc after doing this? Or will it then work without a disc because you downloaded it on PS+ previously?

So excited to jump back in. I will be starting from scratch, even though I finished the game on PS4 a year ago. Another summer of FFVII:R isn't a bad thing at all.

First small bits of details.

--Resolution in Quality mode: 2160p
--Resolution in Performance mode: 1620p (almost called it!)
--Improvements in GI
--Fog has been added
--Most textures have been touched up
--Shadows have been improved
--Loading times have gone from 40 seconds to 2 seconds. You can also boot from the OS into your save file in around 6 seconds.
--Pop in has been reduced.

There doesn't seem to be any dynamic res scaling, but we'll see what DF has to say eventually. For now, it looks great regardless of the mode that you choose to play.

Crazy. 1620p60 with instant load time. Game changer.

Yeah the load times are insane. Even fast travel (the chocobo) is only a few seconds now.

Does Yuffie's DLC share the item bag and Gill from the main game or does she have her own items?

Also, it her DLC weapon worth the price?

Can someone explain to me this 1620p resolution, will it look great on a 60" TV? or are there aliazing.

What is the best way to calibrate HDR in this game?

3FoRYDx.jpg


Anything else doesn't really work. HDR darkness to anything but 0 artificially raises the black and makes it grey, but actually doesn't give more picture detail, so it needs to be on 0. Brightness and Luminance gives the best result on 10, HUD is your choice but HUD is mostly dynamic anyway so I just left it on 10.
All on this picture is also recommended standard setting by the way.

So, I'm about to restart my game completely. I got deep into it originally but never finished it because life got crazy and a bunch of personal shit.

Rather than pick up my save again after a year, I'm just going back to the beginning to replay with 60fps goodness.

Very excited.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but will disc users need to keep the PS4 version installed, so that the PS5 doesn't try and reinstall the PS4 version every time you put the disc in? Or did that whole issue get fixed?

It will look great, but you clearly see a difference between that and the native 4K mode. Look at my pictures on page 1, it won't look like this on performance mode, but still good if you want to have 60fps. No extra aliasing, but just a bit blurrier picture overall.

You don't need to have the PS4 version installed, you simply use the PS4 play disc for that without any installation.

I moved my PS4 save over but because I was only 6 hours in and have forgotten basically everything I don't know if I should just start over. Started a new save last night just to watch the intro and got half an hour in. It looks a stunner and 60fps is gorgeous.

Getting Error CE-107880-4 when I try to download the Yuffie DLC.

Seems to be a sort of preload issue that appeared on other games' DLC too (Outriders, WRC, ...). Anyone else suffering from this?

Worth noting that HDR has been massively improved, looks incredible, may be one of the best implementations now.

Ok but why do the Happy Turtle songs slap so much?

I had forgotten how good the music is in this game.

Here is a quick 4K HDR video in the native 4K30 mode I made, for everyone with a HDR capable phone if you want to know how it looks in HDR, or in 30fps or simply in native 4K in video Form.
Finally after 10 hours YouTube unlocked the HDR, lol.
(Playstation recording so obviously not DF like perfect, but still good looking)

30fps looks awful on my LG CX. Maybe with a little blur it could look better, but I can clearly see the changes between frames and the jumps when moving the camera. 60fps all the way for me.

Absolutely. The 30 FPS mode looks terrible on OLEDs, whereas with 60 FPS the animations look incredible.

That plus there is diminishing returns with the resolution bump. Graphically, the performance mode looks nigh-on identical to fidelity mode, yet improves the motion immeasurably.

40 seconds to 2 seconds loading times and we still have threads questioning whether it was worth it for Sony to focus on SSD. LMAO.

Are the hit flashes for Cloud as bad as they appeared in some videos?

I'm pretty sensitive to flashing lights, however I only found it noticeable for the first 10-15 minutes and then my eyes adjusted.

I also play in a relatively dark environment and with HDR. I was worried beforehand, but the adjustment was relatively painless for me.

Can't agree to that. The immediate moment you switch from 60 to 30 appears to look bad, I even wrote that yesterday as first impression, you turn the camera for the first times after switching it looks terrible for the eye, but just 3 minutes in and it's completely gone and you adjusted to it. Everything you see then is the crazy crystal clear native 4K clarity.

I'm having an extremely weird issue where dialogue in cutscenes is EXTREMELY quiet, but is fine in normal gameplay and I can't imagine why that would be.

I had the same dilemma and chose to grind out my hard mode chapters as well as collecting the remaining dresses to get my platinum trophy before Intergrade dropped because I knew I wouldn't want to go back to the PS4 version. So glad I forced myself to finish it first.

It seems to be a thing where it's assuming I'm set up for surround, even though I'm not and the console knows I'm not. Plugging in headphones fixes it.

Everything you see then is the crazy crystal clear native 4K clarity.

I didn't switch from 60 > 30, I started in 30 and gave it the entire bombing run. It was painful, particularly on OLED due to the instantaneous response time (meaning no 'blurring' or 'smearing' to hide the lack of frames).

However regardless of that I believe the bump in clarity between native 4K and the performance mode is negligible. I've never been a fan of native 4K as it's often minor sharpness improvements for a whole lot of performance drain.

Glad it works for you, though! I'd encourage everyone to try out both to determine a preference.
