Support NeoGAF

Improved graphics as in, that on the PC you probably can dial a higher values, but nothing that they did some more work than on PS5. And unlocked framerate, well if you have 2080 card + it's probably not an suprise that it can do more. 60FPS is mostly like requirement on PC or rather bottom of the barrel type of thing. Which is understandable due to how mouse works.

I think the PS5 is more than capable enough to run the game at an increased graphical fidelity. If the 4.2 tflops PS4 Pro can run the game at 4kcb 30 fps then it should only need 8.4 tflops to get to 60 fps. lots more power available for increased draw distance and more foliage.

I don't think we have any evidence that PS4 games can detect they are running on a PS5.

But Days Gone looks/runs fantastic on PS5.... draw distance is fine too.

Didnt Sucker Punch patch in a 60 fps mode that only got activated on the PS5? Can you even see that mode on the Pro? GoW recently did something similar.

But you alread got a increased fidelity with Days Gone, no?

There is rummor based in drivers data that PS5 USB-C port supports Display Port in alternate mode.

Die analyses also show a display output PHY next to the USB headers.
I briefly explained how that works and its capabilities here:

It's not using the USB standard to send the video signal like e.g. Quest 2 does, it's using USB-C Alternate Mode to pass a Displayport 1.4 (up to 32.4Gb/s) plus a 10Gbps USB 3 data link.
It's basically repurposing the 4 USB2 pins on the USB-C connector to instead send 4 lanes of Displayport for HBR3.

People seem to be missing the key part of this.

Xbox as a game service by the end of this gen confirmed.

We can see a window to the left: Windows for Series consoles confirmed.

Yes there is a lot... there is menu differences in PS4 games running on PS5.
But of course you need to patch that new menu for when the game run on PS5.

nah just an increased framerate. I consider fidelity to be higher quality settings a la better foliage, draw distance, textures, tessellation etc. Basically stuff you see on PC.

Yeap... these evidences shows there USB 3.1 has way more bandwidth than the standard.
And that it will use something like Virtual Link even if the own Sony implementation of it.

32Gbps video + 10Gbps data is enough for VR even in 4k I believe.

Well we see how it's going to turn out, but I doubt that more is going to be done outside of maybe DLSS and extra muscle of PC.

Well you just posted evidence of USB + DP Alt Mode.

Which can't do 10Gbps for data w/ 32Gbps video. It can do 16.2Gb video + 10Gb data, or 32Gb video + 480Mb data.

VirtualLink enables the 32Gb + 10Gb data.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

mark my words. In two years, every PS5 game will launch on PC simultaneously.

Thats how long it took for Xbox games to launch on PC after the first game was ported to PC.

don’t really agree. I’m not sure what they will do, tbh

they could take the Microsoft approach (day and date) or they could go the Take2 route (console first, PC later)

both are successful, and I think Sony cares about getting console versions correctly optimized first and not burdening their teams for launch with a PC release

I also don’t think it will compromise their vision, the minimum hardware requirements on PC will just have to be very high

Ah gotcha; didn't know that.

 

[DeepEnigma]

It should be as simple as a config setting on consoles too.

Only if you have more extraction layers. If you are "coded to the metal" things like this are not a simple .ini. Hence why these companies have to work on either virtualization layers or patches making sure shit doesn't break.

Also, is Bend doing the port? Or is it contracted out like HZD was?

 

[DeepEnigma]

At 1:20, did that just switch into another similar architectural environment (in game) similar to The Medium? Or was it just splice cut on the trailer?

This video has me much more intrigued than I already am for this game, story/setting wise. Already trust Housemarque gameplay wise.

I immediately thought of The Medium as well at that moment. Crazy stuff.

After Ratchet. Come on man, Sony has been doing this for a few years now. Sucks sometimes, but we should be used to it.

I think Sony are holding the big cards close to their chest. Sony love doing big events which attract a lot of attention and hype. I see them doing a big event during summer were we'll see gameplay for Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War and other unannounced exclusives.

The user said it was from their Discord sources. Grain of salt like usual, but this does look plausible.

Don't play!

But yeah, they will have their "E3" event as well, maybe.

Probably true but dont they say there will some new game announcements?

 

[ToTTenTranz]

Sounds plausible, but no Kena or Horizon Forbidden West...?

Also, propping up a GTA V port/patch makes it seem like a GTA VI is still at least a couple of years away. GTAV is 8 years old! I'd rather have a RDR2 port/patch...

Was just catching up the last few pages. Some of the comments on the USB port were laughable. I guess after googling you found the right answer.

480Mb/s should be more than enough to send sensor data from the headset back to the PS5 for processing.

As for the other poster who wanted to remind us the PS5 has Wi-Fi 6 and that the PSVR2 could be wireless ... just no.

 

[devilNprada]

I have a Switch. I've never played it handheld. 100% docked use for me.

I guess that explains why you would play a Mario game on a PC..

You realize you are not taking advantage of the Switches best feature.
But hey you do you... We all game differently...

I just enjoy me a little Mario in the bathtub..

You have a lot of confidence of not dropping something in the tub. Can’t say the same for me.

I'd appreciate being corrected.

I thought VirtualLink was created explicitly because the 480Mb/s isn't enough.

edit: But yes, i've been googling.. what exactly is wrong with that? lol

I'm pretty sure it was just done in the trailer for effect, I think the world changes each time you die/spawn but I could be wrong. Either way I'm very intrigued.

What was the last event sony did with big gameplay? God of War reveal?

None of Sony's first party games currently have any gameplay shown outside Ratchet lol

Huh? I didn't correct anything...

I wasn't particularly clear in some of my posts, but I mentioned 32Gb/second for video for VirtualLink before ethomaz chimed in.

VirtualLink was going to be 32GB/second for video though. And it doesn't really exist anymore.

USB-C is just the connector format; the port would have had to be far more bandwidth than USB 3.1.

Used GB wrong.. and maybe "was" isn't accurate.. but VL is considered basically dead.

Petition: Prevent/deter the buying and reselling of goods/services at inflated prices.

I believe it to be an unfair and unjust practice that well funded groups/individuals can deplete the stock of a single item and make it unaffordable/unavailable to the average consumer. I believe the law around this practice needs to be reviewed and measures to prevent it need to be introduced.

it was a joke. the trailer has a scene where she goes back to an area that's been transformed into something else. same layout just different lighting. reminded me of Medium's level switching.

I know returnal has combat. I just dont like ending my posts with /s. Makes them funnier.
