Not if you’ve been paying attention to any first party PS5 games... literally Demons Souls, Sackboy, and Miles Morales load in 2 seconds or less and that was 3 months ago
A BIG thank you for mentioning that each game on both disc contains all the DLC and even the Updates. I was curious about that and was pleasantly surprised by your mention. I wish all publishers worked with that mindset of preservation. I still feel that $69.99 is a bit steep, but I almost feel much better about purchasing the game now, since the publisher included all DLC/Updates. Great job!!
The almost non existent load times are great to see. Hopefully this is a sign that third party devs are going to make the most of the PS5 SSD like the PS Studio devs have.
For that particular game, loading times have never bothered me, the game loads fast enough, and you're going to spend a lot more time in the level itself. However, it helps a lot when you want to help someone or ask for someone to help you.
hmm not particularly sure on that Nioh is available on PC but it has been exclusive to Playstation so that might be why the loading times are on ps5 are so great as in the developer is close to Sony and I've been noticing that completely third party developers haven't been using the ssd as well, which is a real shame
@@anci9295 they're still not owned by Sony. I can understand the current 3rd party titles not using it since they'd enough issues releasing games during COVID. But you'd like to think that once they've had the time to look at the SSD that they'd take advantage of it
@@fernandoflynn Control Ultimate Edition is a complete joke for this reason imo. since they are asking $40 even if you owned the game previously and it doesn't even use the PS5 properly load times are still much longer than they should be.

Nioh 2 is literally my favorite PS4 game of all time! 500 hours later and I still want more! Still got that 3rd DLC to do. Been waiting for this update, but now I got addicted to Monter Hunter
last year they were "shills for xbox." This year's they're "playstation fanboys" now they are "PC bias" lol....They're just showing data and not being biased towards anything.
I like that we already see 120hz modes and it's surprising how stable they lock to 120fps. Remember that these games have to run over 120fps most of the time in order to lock to that framerate.
I'm laughing at the clowns who act like Ps5 doesn't has 120FPS Majority who claim that are Ps4 Pro players who enjoy playing at 1080 30FPS😂😂 Ps4 is a L currently update yall console folks
It really is a shame that the checkerboard implementation was so bad because better quality checkerboard seems like it would be legitimately excellent for this. A mode with the Quality visuals using a checkerboard 2160p and an unlocked framerate plus the eventual VRR that's already been confirmed as coming to PS5 would probably be really good.
A good checkboarding + DRS implementation would be great for the 120fps mode. The 120fps mode probably runs at 1080p-1440p using DRS, that could be replaced with a great implementation of checkboarding that runs between 1620-2160p
Note to self whenever I decide to play the game: For Nioh 1 - If you want perfect performance: 120hz or if you want better graphics and good performance: Quality mode For Nioh 2 - Quality mode (called PS5 mode) as it provides the best visuals/performance, given that the 120 mode has heavy dips on the fps department
Thank you for NIOH coverage. Please do a video for the PC version, with recommended settings. NIOH is one of the most underrated games, and deserves a lot more coverage. I loved NIOH 1 (PC) and plan to play 500 hours of NIOH 2 on PC.
So you can have dramatically improved draw distance for a cost of like 100pixels of resolution? Lol ok. Targeting native 4K is kinda dumb anyways. I’d rather they target 1440p this gen for increased frame rates and graphical fidelity.
Native 4K Is waste Of Resources Like Game should Target 1440p 50-60fps With Ultra settings And they should also implement 1080p 30fps Ultra Rtx And 1440p 30fps medium Rtx That would Be Nice Until Dlss like features arrives on these consoles
It should be a simple couple of options , a choice of prioritise frame rate or resolution and an option for ray tracing on or off let us decide what the priority for us is

Finally playing Nioh 2 on PC, and my god, this thing's an action game masterpiece. Fixed all the little things wrong with 1 and just did everything better without deviating from what the first game was, perfect sequel.
I've never played either, but I really enjoy from software games. Do you recommend even playing the first one now, or just jumping straight to the second one? I only have a few hours a week to play games, so I try to play only the best games.
@@jasonandrews7355 Just skip nioh 1. Second game has pretty much everything from the first game including some bosses, levels, enemies etc. plus new great mechanics and much more enemy variety.
Im excited for a god of war video. I can kinda tell on the ps5 but i played a lot of hours on the previous version on ps5 which had 1080p 60 before the 4k60 patch. Honestly hard to say because GOW has a intense art direction detail and color wise where i just end up getting distracted. Easily the best looking game I’ve ever played on any platform from an art direction pov (the image is crisp from a fidelity standpoint too)
This may not be a big one for some people, but something I noticed almost immediately was that you can't play background music while Nioh 2 Remastered is running, although you can with the PS4 game. This was a real bummer since I like to throw on some music to help me get through a level when I get stuck
@@cosmicgamingunlimited Their own “PS5 ready” X900H doesn’t even support VRR yet even though they promised it would come to that TV in a future firmware update. I don’t know what’s up with Sony and delaying these things so much.
I've been playing nioh 2 at 120fps mode and find the visuals to be stunning. I haven't noticed any of the things they have pointed out but then again its not my job to spot these things. I highly recommend using this mode just for a smooth performance!
I can't play these kind of games, I get too mad. But the benefit of such fast load times would sure take some of the frustrations out. Under 2 seconds is insane !
120hz mode is awful on PC as well. If you lock it to 60hz it stays at 60 at all times, no problem. Put it on 120hz and fights drop down to the low 40s.... WTF Team Ninja!
Turn Effects down to Low, it's bugged on High. Even my 3080 would drop from 120 to like 30fps at 1080p sometimes, depending on the effects occurring (the Bull enemy in level 1 has a move that causes it).
I've only just started playing but I'm not seeing such massive slowdowns (yet) on my 9900k + 2080Ti system. It mostly locks to 1440p120 with only small dips into 100-110fps range at least in the first map.
Partly because of the strong sales, I didn't expect Koei Tecmo Games to offer the upgrade at such a low price. I strongly hope that Capcom's RE series and MHW will also be upgraded.
Interesting, when I played nioh 2 on my ps4pro and turned off supersampling on my 1080p screen, the game was really sharp on action mode, with SS it looked much muddier. And with SSD the loadings were already fast enough. The 120hz looks graphically the same as action mode on ps4 to me, so I'm quite interested in trying that. The static shadows are a bummer, but it was never a problem, since the focus of the game is so decidedly on the action... I love how Team Ninja had the variable fps mode, it future proofed it for the ps5 BC...but then they straight up remastered BOTH games? Yeah I'm a fan of this franchise...
The most annoying thing for me in Nioh 2 (on PC) is the asset LOD pop-in and shadow pop-in. It's incredibly noticeable and occurs very close to the camera (there's no setting for this). Also the Effects quality bug causing massive fps drops on High.
A console game, ported with no effort to PC, what do you expect ? In order to overcome hardware console limitations the devs should change the engine to take advantage for PC, but this will never happen.
@@blackgatecertified6952 Ah ok, so Dynamic changing of the resolution depending on the scene and load. Thanks, so how did Doom Eternal did that better than others?
Idtech engine is so so good. It has to be one of the best and most scalable engines ever made, running from a portable mode switch to 4k60 on something as restricted as a one X/pro (no hate on these, I love both, but the CPU is incredibly shit) and then all the way up to inanse fps on pc. Just a beautiful engine.
@@yanceyboyz I think it was 1800p60FPS on the XB1X. Definitely looks sub-4K on my XSX, I'm excited for the next-gen upgrade. My PC runs it at max settings 1080p 240FPS locked, over 300FPS average unlocked, and locked 120FPS 4K max settings. 6800 XT, 5800X. Such a scalable game.
I have a 4k 120hz tv and I personally use 120hz any chance I get. I'm a PC gamer also so high fps is a big deal to me even at visual loss. You can certainly have a great smooth experience with 60fps in this game but 120fps is a nice extra option I hope it comes more. Everything is better than disgusting 30fps though
On PC, I’ve found 120 fps mode is unplayable. Maybe I’m just unlucky, but I encounter severe drops to around 38 fps when running at 1080p on an RTX 3080. It’s very bizarre.
Facts, but you will NEVER hear digital foundry talk badly about xbox like that, they dont wanna ruin those quarterly, all-expense paid, business trips to Redmond, the free hardware and software, and being drip-fed what to say about xbox games and settings in videos from microsoft, do they ?

Overall a great port. I am disappointed that the blood has been toned down significantly in the remaster. No blood staining the ground or walls. Hopefully they patch this back in as it breaks a bit of immersion lopping off limbs with no blood splatter like was present in the original two games.
I'm doing a replay of Nioh 2 and I'd have to agree. Default mode FTW. A much nicer image overall compared to the PS4 Pro. And yeah, that loading is ridiculously fast.
That’s the only thing better for SX compared to PS5. Ooops... no Nioh Collection for SX. That’s PS5 exclusive. Not even on PC this time around. RIP Series X/S
Great video DF. Nioh is one of my fave Souls Like Games alongwith Bloodborne and Sekiro and in a way Jedi Fallen Order also, not Played Nioh 2 yet tho, good stuff guys :-).
@@raios-rogueboss-slayer4179 The PS5 is not even native 4k, nor is it ultra settings.. The 3080 is up to double the performance of a Ps5, youre a moron. lol
I'm excited to see what Developers will be able to do with the extremely fast speeds of the PS5 going forwards It usually takes between 3-4 years before games are released on the same hardware, that they really begin to optimize releases for it, even if this is reduced due to similar architecture to say around 1-2 years, they've decreased loading times to be 1/20th of what they used to be, which is mind boggling I think it'll add some interesting iterative and dynamic gameplay in the long run, with games that are effectively impossible to play on say Xbox or PC, due to the proprietary, absurdly fast PS5 custom SSD solution
Still having trouble finding any info on how the Nioh 1 remaster compares to the existing PC version from 2017. From what I've been seeing around the net, feels like the PS5 version of Nioh 1 is on-par with the PC port, minus the usual PC settings menu.
If you play on smaller screens (or you sit far from you screen), it's not so apparent for sure. Also, people see things differently... including colors etc... so not everyone is bothered as much by the same tings. FPS changes affect me greatly... I not only see them, but I feel them when playing, it's annoying. VRR smooths all that out, but ps5 lagging behind on that feature at the moment. Hopefully soon. Actually I think VRR is so good I'd rather playing at 60fps with VRR than the typical 60fps using VSync. I can both see and feel the Vsync lag. However I'm not as bothered by resoltuion... sure I'd love everything in 4k, but I'm not crushed or bothered much if it isn't (however some games benefit more from 4k than others).
PS4 Version on PS4 Pro or PS5 Loading Times: Around 20 Seconds PS5 Version Loading Times: Less than 2 Seconds. Reall all you need to know at this point.
I was waiting for this video, I have the special edition of Nioh 2 for the PS4 pro with the beautiful steel book and I'm glad they give you the PS5 version free. I was original playing in the 4k mode but after watching this video I'll go with the quality/standard mode.
Outside of those small glitches changing modes and no vrr a very nice upgrade! Way higher res and double the fps for all modes is crazy. If i recall the movie mode on ps4 and pro was 30fps and the in between mode barely hit 40 most of time
5:10 “I can’t capture the 4K 120 output of the Ps5 because it’s HDMI 2.1”. Question. I thought HDMI 2.1 supports 4K 120 and 8K 30. Does it? If not, what do I do?
4k@60 is the sweetspot for a game like this. Its not call of duty multiplayer. If it was 30fps in 8k i would 100% go 4k@60. Fps is priority to me but not at the expense of a big visual loss, unless dropping to 30 fps thats unbearable these days.
It's true about new GPU's too! My 'old' 1080ti is still fine since my display maxes out at 1080p/60hz anyway! Upgrading to a 30 series GPU will get me Ray Tracing, but until I also spend $1000+ on a new display, then I'm stuck at 1080p/60fps anyway! lol
I keep going from Quality mode (4k/60) to 120fps mode on my LG CX. Both modes are great and the 120fps feels AMAZING but the 4k looks so much better. What a time to be a console gamer tbh. Getting closer and closer to PC every gen. And the load times? It's insane. They are literally 1 second long.
Since they like to make licensed games based on anime every now and then I'd really love for them to make a game based on Inuyasha. KT has so much skill and experience with historical Japan and oni and everything that I think it could be great.
@The programming crypto guy Yeah, the show just had so many different yokai, mysteries, and action and everything that it just seems like it would perfect and be a ton of fun in game form. Shame it will likely never happen :/
I miss the days when DF would just make technical analysis, focused and straight up, and leave out the superfluous and pointless “bringing in a second member of the team to discuss it”, which adds absolutely nothing in terms of information yet can make the videos unnecessarily longer and distracting. The more frustrating part is that it is not something DF doesn’t know how to do since they did it for years before they stuck to this format.
Been a fan for a long time, but really wish you guys would do vr stuff too. Quest vs quest 2 vs pcvr. Honestly since I got a quest 2 it's the type of games I care most about now. Maybe other people would like to see that too?
@@arrowknee7356 Maybe but you would think by now that it would be in, VRR can be a game changer for gamers that have a VRR tv and games that can't maintain it's frame rate.

120hz mode is awful on PC as well. If you lock it to 60hz it stays at 60 at all times, no problem. Put it on 120hz and fights drop down to the low 40s.... WTF Team Ninja!
Turn Effects down to Low, it's bugged on High. Even my 3080 would drop from 120 to like 30fps at 1080p sometimes, depending on the effects occurring (the Bull enemy in level 1 has a move that causes it).
That's not a 120Hz issue. It's an NVIDIA issue.
It’s not awful at all on PS5!
I've only just started playing but I'm not seeing such massive slowdowns (yet) on my 9900k + 2080Ti system. It mostly locks to 1440p120 with only small dips into 100-110fps range at least in the first map.
If photo mode ain't the bench mark I ain't watching this video.
lol :v
The true benchmark of a consoles performance. :)
That was a bullshit benchmark. 😂
Partly because of the strong sales, I didn't expect Koei Tecmo Games to offer the upgrade at such a low price. I strongly hope that Capcom's RE series and MHW will also be upgraded.
You're gonna buy Resident Evil 7 Remastered for 60$ and like it
@@jrsomethingnumbers9704 sucks to suck
Thx for the video, I love the work you guys are doing, now I'm waiting for the god of war 60 fps video
You have it friend! It's 60fps
Still waiting for Bloodborne to get a PS5 port and 120fps mode
Might be waiting for a long time 😭
lol we don’t even have 60..
Dynamic 4k and 60 fps would be enough for me.
So you are waiting to buy a Sony remaster like this game, they wont never give us a free update, LOL
@@sebastianl.5807 Still better than not being able to play the game at all because I bought an Xbox :P
Interesting, when I played nioh 2 on my ps4pro and turned off supersampling on my 1080p screen, the game was really sharp on action mode, with SS it looked much muddier. And with SSD the loadings were already fast enough.
The 120hz looks graphically the same as action mode on ps4 to me, so I'm quite interested in trying that. The static shadows are a bummer, but it was never a problem, since the focus of the game is so decidedly on the action...
I love how Team Ninja had the variable fps mode, it future proofed it for the ps5 BC...but then they straight up remastered BOTH games? Yeah I'm a fan of this franchise...
Alex is gonna have a field day with the PC Version. hoping John tags along.
PC version of nioh hasn't been updated to unlock it to 120fps which is bullshit.
Just waited for this one 🔥🙌
The most annoying thing for me in Nioh 2 (on PC) is the asset LOD pop-in and shadow pop-in. It's incredibly noticeable and occurs very close to the camera (there's no setting for this). Also the Effects quality bug causing massive fps drops on High.
A console game, ported with no effort to PC, what do you expect ? In order to overcome hardware console limitations the devs should change the engine to take advantage for PC, but this will never happen.
I feel like Doom is the best DRS implementation in gaming. Everyone should be doing whatever they did.
DRS?
@@SlayerSeraph Dynamic Resolution Scaling
@@blackgatecertified6952 Ah ok, so Dynamic changing of the resolution depending on the scene and load.
Thanks, so how did Doom Eternal did that better than others?
Idtech engine is so so good. It has to be one of the best and most scalable engines ever made, running from a portable mode switch to 4k60 on something as restricted as a one X/pro (no hate on these, I love both, but the CPU is incredibly shit) and then all the way up to inanse fps on pc. Just a beautiful engine.
@@yanceyboyz I think it was 1800p60FPS on the XB1X. Definitely looks sub-4K on my XSX, I'm excited for the next-gen upgrade.
My PC runs it at max settings 1080p 240FPS locked, over 300FPS average unlocked, and locked 120FPS 4K max settings. 6800 XT, 5800X. Such a scalable game.
I thought 120hz was mainly for competitive gaming while story mode games u wanna play at 60 or even 30 with ray tracing on
I have a 4k 120hz tv and I personally use 120hz any chance I get. I'm a PC gamer also so high fps is a big deal to me even at visual loss. You can certainly have a great smooth experience with 60fps in this game but 120fps is a nice extra option I hope it comes more. Everything is better than disgusting 30fps though
@@PlutoKam yea I dont own a 4k120 yet just a 4k 60 so I use my monitor which does 1440p 120 no problem. Cant wait to get a 4k 120 tv
Why don’t these Videos have chapters that way you can just freely go to the parts of the video that you want to see.
On PC, I’ve found 120 fps mode is unplayable. Maybe I’m just unlucky, but I encounter severe drops to around 38 fps when running at 1080p on an RTX 3080. It’s very bizarre.
1080p is more about your CPU
What CPU are you running?

@@pglagowski damn! That definitely isn't the problem then 😅 I'm sure it's just some optimisation issue hopefully they will patch it out soon
Awesome work as always DF. Time to finish DLC 2 and 3 in Nioh 2!!! Quality mode all the way!
Damn the drop in quality in 120 isn't much when you compare to something like dirt 5 on the Xbox that's like playing a PS2 games
That was a bug I think.
Facts, but you will NEVER hear digital foundry talk badly about xbox like that, they dont wanna ruin those quarterly, all-expense paid, business trips to Redmond, the free hardware and software, and being drip-fed what to say about xbox games and settings in videos from microsoft, do they ? I mean, that would lower their quality of life after all, and that just isnt worth squandering away over the honest trurh being told, now is it ? Not to ghem apparently. ...
@@timothyhenley44 It's a conspiracy to make those of us who bought playstations feel sad. I'm not falling for it. I love the Sony Corporation and the Corporation loves me. DF can suck it.
@@Enderu666 haha a bug I'm assuming your joking , dirt 5 in 120fps mode looks so bad it has to be a joke
@@timothyhenley44 agreed man you can tell with just how they say certain things like praising series s for running a game at 900p when that wasent acceptable when Xbox one first launched yet if ps5 has a frame drop here and there it's apparently struggling......
Impressed, at any res a 120fps lock is impressive. and the ssds and CPUs are really helping this generation
Overall a great port. I am disappointed that the blood has been toned down significantly in the remaster. No blood staining the ground or walls. Hopefully they patch this back in as it breaks a bit of immersion lopping off limbs with no blood splatter like was present in the original two games.
Just makes me wish more games had blood splatter effects like Bloodborne
I'm doing a replay of Nioh 2 and I'd have to agree. Default mode FTW. A much nicer image overall compared to the PS4 Pro. And yeah, that loading is ridiculously fast.
I’m here for the photo mode performance! Heard it’s incredible! The best way to play the game😂🔥
I didn’t expect to land myself into a freaking podcast confused lol
I pray for Bloodborne to just get a resolution and FPS option update almost every day
Only if you buy a remastered Bloodborne
This is the video I was waiting for. Digital Foundry is the real MVP.
But the real question is what’s it like in photo mode???
For xbox? 0 fps.
I thought that would surely be the "benchmark", right ?
That’s the only thing better for SX compared to PS5. Ooops... no Nioh Collection for SX. That’s PS5 exclusive. Not even on PC this time around.
RIP Series X/S
Oooh...Burn !!!
Great video DF. Nioh is one of my fave Souls Like Games alongwith Bloodborne and Sekiro and in a way Jedi Fallen Order also, not Played Nioh 2 yet tho, good stuff guys :-).
The game have big dips on framerate even on my PC with a 3080 . Hope this get patched
Turn Effects down to Low to fix this.
Weird i am getting 4k 60fps plus on my 3080. My be your system or something in the background causing it.
@@raios-rogueboss-slayer4179 The PS5 is not even native 4k, nor is it ultra settings.. The 3080 is up to double the performance of a Ps5, youre a moron. lol

"Locks to native 4k most of the time"
Hmm, sounds like native 4k to me.
@@shakengandulf "most of the time" means not all the time, which means its dynamic 4k, not native.
Been waiting for this
I'm excited to see what Developers will be able to do with the extremely fast speeds of the PS5 going forwards
It usually takes between 3-4 years before games are released on the same hardware, that they really begin to optimize releases for it, even if this is reduced due to similar architecture to say around 1-2 years, they've decreased loading times to be 1/20th of what they used to be, which is mind boggling
I think it'll add some interesting iterative and dynamic gameplay in the long run, with games that are effectively impossible to play on say Xbox or PC, due to the proprietary, absurdly fast PS5 custom SSD solution
I'm really rooting for Ratchet and Clank this year to be truly revolutionary........
@@yomamasohot6411 and probably will. I think that Returnal will also be fantastic.
Ok so 240 fps in photo mode? Got it...
:D :D :D
LMAO
I'm here for the photomode framerate analysis
Still having trouble finding any info on how the Nioh 1 remaster compares to the existing PC version from 2017. From what I've been seeing around the net, feels like the PS5 version of Nioh 1 is on-par with the PC port, minus the usual PC settings menu.
I'm squinting real hard to notice what is so apparent to you guys haha.
If you play on smaller screens (or you sit far from you screen), it's not so apparent for sure. Also, people see things differently... including colors etc... so not everyone is bothered as much by the same tings. FPS changes affect me greatly... I not only see them, but I feel them when playing, it's annoying. VRR smooths all that out, but ps5 lagging behind on that feature at the moment. Hopefully soon.
Actually I think VRR is so good I'd rather playing at 60fps with VRR than the typical 60fps using VSync. I can both see and feel the Vsync lag.
However I'm not as bothered by resoltuion... sure I'd love everything in 4k, but I'm not crushed or bothered much if it isn't (however some games benefit more from 4k than others).
Their vision is augmented.
Also know that TH-cam compression is not helping us on our end to see the differences.
Is your quality on TH-cam at 480p?
After that photo mode fiasco I’m having trouble taking DF seriously on anything.
And you can carry over your PS4 Nioh file save? Count me in.
I don't care about how the game runs! I'm just interested in does it have 4k 60 photo mode😂
I tried it and even though the game was paused you can clearly see it was 121fps no cap
PS4 Version on PS4 Pro or PS5 Loading Times: Around 20 Seconds
PS5 Version Loading Times: Less than 2 Seconds.
Reall all you need to know at this point.
Been waiting for this one
Does Nioh 1 support HDR and dualsense support?
Yes
"What A Shame" with a sneaky JC Denton
another game that made 30fos a thing of the past, hopefully the rest follows
Some people still try and say 30fps is better LOL
Yeah but how does the photo mode perform thats the important part
I was waiting for this video, I have the special edition of Nioh 2 for the PS4 pro with the beautiful steel book and I'm glad they give you the PS5 version free.
I was original playing in the 4k mode but after watching this video I'll go with the quality/standard mode.
Outside of those small glitches changing modes and no vrr a very nice upgrade! Way higher res and double the fps for all modes is crazy. If i recall the movie mode on ps4 and pro was 30fps and the in between mode barely hit 40 most of time
5:10 “I can’t capture the 4K 120 output of the Ps5 because it’s HDMI 2.1”. Question. I thought HDMI 2.1 supports 4K 120 and 8K 30. Does it? If not, what do I do?
Its a limit on his capture card not the PS5.
Where is photomode benchmark..
😅 Xbox isn't involved
Now I can die over and over again to the second enemy in the game at 120 FPS. Amazing.
We want to see the benchmark of this game with photo mode come on Alex you are better than this...lol
Guessing your hardware performed worse in that mode eh?
🤣
I‘ve got easy over 1000hours combined both Niohs. Nioh 2 is maybe my all time best game ever made. The mechanics are soooo good and addicting!
Well I'm going with the "quality" modes, it looks fantastic.
4k@60 is the sweetspot for a game like this. Its not call of duty multiplayer. If it was 30fps in 8k i would 100% go 4k@60. Fps is priority to me but not at the expense of a big visual loss, unless dropping to 30 fps thats unbearable these days.
You guys should really do dayz on all consoles the new systems handle it so well. Would be great seeing all consoles compared!
"You really REALLY need a 120hz TV to fully enjoy the new generation!!" LMAO
It's true about new GPU's too! My 'old' 1080ti is still fine since my display maxes out at 1080p/60hz anyway!
Upgrading to a 30 series GPU will get me Ray Tracing, but until I also spend $1000+ on a new display, then I'm stuck at 1080p/60fps anyway! lol
I'm all set
@@stanlee5465 I mean, it's not like you have to spend nearly as much on a decent 1440p 144hz panel
“FULLY” would be true, though
I think 99% of people are fine with 60fps because 99% of people have 60hz displays lol
Sony needs to give us VRR and compatible SSDs expansions. Great video guys! Buying this game again for these upgrades.
The PC version of 2 is a mess, it can't even hold 60fps at 1080p on a 3080 right now, rushed port.
Stable 60fps with a 1070 @1080p with tweaked setting. Do you even pc bro ?
The effect setting is the culprit, turn that down to low and you'll be fine. My 3060ti run fine at 1080p@120fps
Holds pretty well on a 1080ti at 1440p maxed settings for me. Kind of goes between 58-60, which is weird.
Turn Effects down to Low.
it's stable @ 1440p 60fps on my 2080 super
I keep going from Quality mode (4k/60) to 120fps mode on my LG CX. Both modes are great and the 120fps feels AMAZING but the 4k looks so much better. What a time to be a console gamer tbh. Getting closer and closer to PC every gen. And the load times? It's insane. They are literally 1 second long.
Can't wait to see the next Studio Sony is gonna Buy.
Sony is not gonna buy a studio thats microsoft thing
@@iamarabicandiloveamericanp7137 Didn't sony buy Insomniac?

Since they like to make licensed games based on anime every now and then I'd really love for them to make a game based on Inuyasha. KT has so much skill and experience with historical Japan and oni and everything that I think it could be great.
@The programming crypto guy Yeah, the show just had so many different yokai, mysteries, and action and everything that it just seems like it would perfect and be a ton of fun in game form. Shame it will likely never happen :/
I miss the days when DF would just make technical analysis, focused and straight up, and leave out the superfluous and pointless “bringing in a second member of the team to discuss it”, which adds absolutely nothing in terms of information yet can make the videos unnecessarily longer and distracting.
The more frustrating part is that it is not something DF doesn’t know how to do since they did it for years before they stuck to this format.
So guys that Steam version? Have the devs commented on the performance at all?
John: the 120 hz mode is "INTERESTING"
Gamers: OK I will pass on that
Been a fan for a long time, but really wish you guys would do vr stuff too. Quest vs quest 2 vs pcvr. Honestly since I got a quest 2 it's the type of games I care most about now. Maybe other people would like to see that too?
Can't wait for the games that are build from the ground up on the PS5 to see it's true potential.
Is there gonna be a God Of War PS5 analysis for the latest patch???
I don't get it, why is it taking Sony so long to implement VRR when it's clear the PS5 hardware supports it?
Software issues likely, or resources being used elsewhere as they currently are considered to be more important at the moment.
@@arrowknee7356 Maybe but you would think by now that it would be in, VRR can be a game changer for gamers that have a VRR tv and games that can't maintain it's frame rate.
It's already on PC, there is no video about it.
