This just showed up in my feed. Apparently the unpatched version had no framecap. Looks to be 60 fps.

God of War version 1.00 renders at a resolution of 3840x2160 on PS5 using a form of checkerboard rendering and this version doesn't have a 30fps cap.

Crazy how SSM didnt bother unlocking the framerate in this version. So stupid. Thank god i bought the disc version.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
If I remember right, the PRO already runs at uncaped framerate, so no surprises here. Probably using Playstation PRO version boosted by PS5 specs.
Yep, the pro had an unlocked framerate mode.

Didn't ran pretty well so it's nice to see it at 4k/60fps.

I thought the option to unlock framerate is in the settings in all versions?
nope. there is no option. they had a performance mode on the pro that was 1080p 60 fps. 4k mode was and is still tied to 30 fps. unless of course you use a disc version unpatched.

nope. the PRO only runs at 60 fps in the performance mode which was only 1080p.
 
Does anyone know if it runs 4K Native? I am an idiot and need to test it out on my PS5 but enjoying Demon's Souls and Cold War too much lol.

PRO can't even reach at 60 fps dude. IDK if the game even get a PS5 support, but without patch we presume the PRO version is on place. Unless you're saying PS5 came with a GoW patch pre-installed.

no. its 4k checkerboard.

Yes. I know. I think what you are missing here is that the Pro version was only 1080p in the 60 fps mode. This is 4k 60 fps.

Massive framerate drops and tearing, WTF Mark...

Great performance

Yeah. Same situation as The Last Guardian. If you play the physical edition unpatched you can get max resolution and 60 FPS on PS5


Damn, hope they patch it to unlock the framerate then.

I hope this and TLOU2 get PS5 patches

Why the hell wont they patch this game and Bloodborne and TLG?? Just do it for god's sake!!
Because it takes valuable developer time of devs working on new games. They might get around to it eventually but in the current situation we're in priorities are different.

GoW got a PS4 patch a week ago if I remember right, just like TLOUS. IDK if is that the case. Digital Foundry would probably notice that. And I can't sure if the perfomance mode of GoW runs at fixed 1080p, they could be using dynamic resolution. The game is very very demanding.

I'd love to try the checkerboard 1440p to 4k at 60fps version then at least till it gets a patch which I'd bet it will.

It does reach 60, but not consistenly enough to call it 60fps on Pro.

I would rather have the bug fixes what few there were, and the NG+ options, since I've already Platt'ed it.
ah shit. i forgot about the NG+.

This is so silly. This is the least amount of work for any studio. They literally have to update the config file to set the frame cap at 60 fps instead of 30. Or worst case scenario, add a new one.

You can get an intern to make this patch in just a couple of hours. Absolutely lazy shit. We need to harass Cory on twitter.

How do you install on ps5 without patches? Do you need to stay off-line?
just pause the patch. or straight up cancel it.

For digital version, there is a convoluted process you have to go through. someone on era had a thread about it last month.

I think there is a little more work due to lower level extraction layers on the closed box with APU timings, etc., compared to the PC, but... yes, they should patch in a 60FPS cap option to these games.
 
Dam thats good, so around 1440p 60fps, sony u hardly have any games, where are next gen patches for uncharted 4 and horizon, tlou2 wtf.

Is the same as some 4k modes. Witcher 3 on Xbox One X can reach native 4k if you spend time looking at the sky. Devs really prefer to call 'uncap' mode.
 
So basically just with every game with uncapped framerate, they reach 60 fps straight away. I do wonder why they don't go higher.

what is indeed crazy is that neither Sony nor Microsoft added framerate cap settings to every single game as a standard ever since the pro machines became a thing or even during their development.

how did neither of them have the foresight that their newer systems which will be backwards compatible could make use of such an option and greatly enhance the gameplay without any patch needed?


AND THE CRAZY THING IS developers STILL don't add such options as a standard thing! how the fuck are they still so nearsighted in this regard?

every single game that can safely run at 60fps and 120fps (meaning these framerates won't break the game logic) SHOULD have options for 30fps, 60fps and 120fps caps!
new systems will eventually release and if they're true next gen or just a mid gen refresh, these new systems should be able to run every currently released game at faster speeds!

This is the resolution mode which is originally capped at 30fps. Man, this looks better than anything shown from multiplats graphically for next gen! Sony is just so overpowered, and this is without any upgrades! The final image quality so so much better than my experience with the Pro, and it looks so clean as if it's native 4K! Actually this shows that checkerboard rendering is still relevent even now but HW wasn't powerful enough to boost it all the way to 4K to make the difference between checkerboard 4K and native 4K pretty minimal. Crazy!

Lack of money and time.

Man, this really shows that the direct feed photos from PS4 Pro weren't misleading at all, they just didn't get enough power to push that high. Man, I wanna see TLOU2, Uncharted 4 now! AC Valhalla and Watch Dogs Legions look so much like a pile of crap in comparison, add CyberPunk 2077 as well!

I'm sorry? adding an option? an option almost every pc version of games already have? and THIS GAME ALSO HAS!

that's something a single person could mod into a game within less than 24h, as a fan! not a developer familiar with the game.

I think you highly overestimate how much work it is to add an fps toggle
