II can feel a slight difference but it's never seemed significant. It's incredibly overrated. More important than 30 vs 60 is consistent frame rate. Consistent 30 is way better than 40/55/60/45/60/44/52. There are places where it might matter - fighting games and pinball games - but the vast majority of the time it's overrated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eoae Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Same. Frame rate only matters to me when there's a sharp drop-off. And even then... Dark Souls on my PS3 had a couple areas that were basically slide shows, and I still enjoyed the hell out of the game. I have the remaster on my PS4 and it runs more consistently but I don't know that I enjoy it any more. 26 minutes ago, AxB said: Shadow of the Colossus: Zero Dawn? I actually meant to mention that, but didn't. Basically, yeah. The designers haven't been shy about the game's resemblance to Shadow of the Colossus. It's basically meant to be Shadow of the Colossus: Nordic Edition. Appreciate all these Sony games coming with free upgrades to PS5 if you buy the digital copy. Makes waiting a bit for a new console a lot easier. Apparently, Sony thinks the pandemic will convince people to hold onto their PS4's longer than they would otherwise.

AxB Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Cinema was only 24 fps for like a century. It was calculated that any fewer frames, and the human eye would recognise it as a series of still images, rather than as one moving image. But historically there was no reason to use anything other than 24 FPS unless you were shooting for slow motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coletti Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I saw a good explanation recently that if you play games more in line with Horizon or RDR2, 30 FPS 4K graphics will look fucking phenomenal and that extra processing that would otherwise go towards 60 FPS will instead be better put to use with things like draw distance and environmental detail. Personally, that sounds completely perfect to me, but yeah if you're into online gaming and fighting games and stuff that requires such precision, I understand the desire for 60. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eoae Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Ubisoft says that all of their PS4 titles will be playable on PS5 except Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles Trilogy Pack, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles India, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles China, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles Russia, Risk, Star Trek Bridge Crew, Werewolves Within, and Space Junkies. I’ll be surprised if AC Syndicate doesn’t get patched or remastered for PS5. Not sure anyone will miss the rest of that list much. edit: Ubisoft retracted the statement, saying it may not be accurate.

Casey Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I feel like Insomniac adding lower framerates and visual effects like the ITSV movie is being slept on. You can turn all of that off if you're wearing the suit, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good people in history are part of the Assassin's order and all bad people are templars. There you go. I've really soured on the series. Thought 2 and Black Flag were all time great games but as it went along the more the story went up its own ass and I'm just over a million side missions and collection pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know who the Assassin's are, and who the Templar's are. Last 2 games were basically the origins of the Assassin's, this one's looking like the formation of the Tempar's proper. Outside of that, you might be lost on the Present day stuff, but really, no one outside of Ubisoft cares about the present day stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 In terms of present day AC stuff, I always preferred the games where that gameplay was radically different than the historical story. Like the first-person 3D platooning puzzle in Revelations or the first-person espionage with hacking mini-games in Black Flag. Any time the present day stuff was just the same as the historical stuff, except you didn’t have all you cool Assassin abilities, that just absolutely sucked and felt like a waste of time.

Kevin Wilson Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Since I got it ten days early, I've gotten a chance to hold the PS5 controller. First thing I noticed is the weight - its not "heavy" but its noticeably heavier than the PS4 controller for those that are really used to the PS4 controller which I am. It also feels really really nice, I can't test the input lag of course but the buttons and everything feel right. Now I just have to wait til next week to use it. One complaint is it doesn't come with a charging cord, which you'd think for $70 it would. I actually don't have any USB-C chargers as I have an old Android phone so I'll have to get a couple. Not a huge deal but come on Sony, include a $3 cord with your controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
