You're going to have to wait for a patch it seems. AMD cards are no bueno right now.

Only 22 fps at 4k? That can't be right.

It is indeed. Same everywhere. It hits 30fps in most places but it does regularly drop to the 20's. The 970 isn't a 4K card, even for older remastered games.

Well I guess you already know Vsync will lock it to 60 if you're using a 60hz screen. If you're not, you could use RTSS to lock it. I always have it on anyway to insure there are no frame pacing issues in games.

I know, but this thing runs at native 4k/60 on a PS4 Pro. A 970/i7 should be closer to that mark than that.
If he has FSAA turned on then he's running super sampling in addition to 4k, which depending on how heavy their implementation goes on the supersampling means he's actually running it at anything from 8k to 32k.

I completely forgot I still had FSAA turned on.
/facepalm
Here we go:
With drops to ~45/50 during combat.

I'm through about 1/3rd of the game on the Pro and it's been pretty stable so far. Only a few instances where it dips, usually when there are a lot of explosions or something right in the camera.

Yes, it's a stable 60 on Pro. And now we have a patch that fixed a few nagging audio sync issues.

Thank goodness! I guess I'll play this now, waiting on Square Enix to fix Final Fantasy XV.
Getting bad performance. Granted I'm running it on a laptop with a 950m, but I'm talking having everything on low and getting 20-25fps, sometimes dipping into the teens.
EDIT: woop, and just when I opened my mouth, they have a patch out - granted, it's only for AMD users, but hopefully will fix those issues.

EDIT 2: Nah, performance is still terrible for me. Audio sync issues as well.

There's been a lot of talk about the ending, but I'll be damned if I can remember it (not uncommon for me). Since I've picked up Warmastered, I'm not too worried about it, as I'll get to see it again soon enough. 👍

Plays so much better with this patch, most of the stutter is gone, the audio is in sync. Sometimes I get a crackle or pop in a cutscene, but it plays much better.
Just beat Tiamat!

You're probably on Borderless Fullscreen. Switch to Exclusive Fullscreen and you should be able to change your resolution.

Great news. I might pick this up soon. Is Darksiders 2 ok to pick up on PS4?
I almost didn't even want to try this game after reading about the AMD issues. After a couple patches (and mostly the fact that I got it free for having the original anyway) I had to try this tonight.
I wasn't expecting much on my ancient PC (i5-750 @ 2.67Ghz, 4gig RAM, AMD 5850) but I am getting mostly 60 fps with some slight dips to 50's here and there but not enough to speak about. Honestly really impressed with the performance.

Yep. I was pretty worried this would be a release and dump. But no, they've patched up the issues on all the versions super fast. Good on them. This game deserves it.

Xbone version is very good. War's character model looks great.
I went to GAME (UK Store) today to trade in a bunch of games and pick up a bunch of new ones. No sign of Darksiders Warmastered on any of the shelves... just no where to be found. I picked up he other games and went over to the counter to trade in and buy my new games - I asked the dude if they had Darksiders Warmastered in and he opens a draw, searches a little and pulls out a still sealed copy... WTF? I'm a huge Darksiders fan, I loved 1 and 2 and replayed the 2 remaster too. I want a third game to happen but if these game stores aren't even putting the game out on shelves then sales must be tanking more than I thought.
Anyway, I've been playing it for the past few hours, just ripped Tiamat's heart out and oh how I've missed this game. It's so good. The remaster seems super fluid and I can tell they upressed or redid some of the textures on characters, they're really sharp which is nice. Going for a 100% play through on Normal and then a speed run on Hard to get a platinum.

I would not be surprised if they cancelled it and create quick Switch port.
I just got this, and about to start playing it. I'm just curious about the pacing in this game. I just finished Mafia 3 which had one of the worst game pacing in recent times where you spend a shit ton of hours in the middle just repeating the same stuff over and over again. I don't think i can handle two games like that in a row.
So how's the pacing in this game? On a scale of something like Uncharted 2 to something like Mafia 3?

It's starts off rather slow with a lot of combat. After you get to the Twilight Cathedral which is the first "dungeon" of the game I feel that it picks up significantly. You just kind of have to tough it out until then.
Just beat the first boss
and so far i'm really enjoying it. It's been a long time since I've played a hack and slash game, so it's a breath of fresh air. Combat is easy, but fun. The different items and powers are all fun to use and mix in with combat. The mini boss and main boss fights haven't been a challenge, but were fun to play anyway. The last "hack and slash" game i played was Bloodborne earlier this year, so it's nice to play something easier.
The puzzles are decent and the backtracking is not that bad. The only puzzle that stumped me was
. I gave it a break, completed another puzzle and came back and realized the solution immediately.
The story is pretty minimal and kinda confusing. Voice acting reminds me of the over the top God of War characters and every demon sounds like Mark Hamill doing the Joker.

the one where you had to chain together mine explosions to break a crystal, so far i had only used one mine at a time, so i didn't think of it.

Well The Watcher IS Mark Hamill, so there's that.

Forgot how much late game padding this game has with the black tower. And I just remembered you gotta collect sword pieces across the world as well. Ugh.
Oh cool. Game came out just a few months after Arkham Asylum too, probably did the voices together lol. Also I swear the merchant demon sounds like a less jokery Mark Hamill as well.

Finally fired this up and holy shit, for some reason this might be the best 4K game I've seen on the Pro yet. Upscales and checkerboard rendered games look fine, sure, but something about this rendering at native 4K looks absolutely amazing. The art style and attention to detail in the game definitely help.
That said, while I haven't seen any desyncing of audio in the cutscenes, nearly every cutscene I've seen ends like 1-2 seconds too early. I'm hearing later in the game it gets worse, and they'll drop halfway through.
Not sure when this first patch was dated, but I've got a bad feeling this thing will never be fixed. The meat of the game seems fine, but I genuinely enjoyed the cutscenes back when, and I'd rather not have to queue 'em up on YouTube because the game won't play them properly :/

Never thought of it as a mask, just figured that was his face.
