What's it like after the update?
Edit: Nevermind, just read your other post.
But wait, I remember there being a performance mode right? What resolution is that one on?

Yes, it’s best to turn off automatic updates altogether! Just update the games you want manually

goodwill means nothing to Sony. these games are old and have already been sold and it comes down to how many extra sales they can project base on this new feature. the answer is not many.
i legtimally think this is maybe $10k worth of dev and QA time at most. but they have to show that they can sell $10k worth of new copies of this game just because a 60 fps version was patched. gow already has a 60 fps version. these games simply wont sell thousands of new copies just because they added a 60 fps version. you either already have gow and tlou or you dont, and a 60 fps patch wont convince you to buy it.
if anything, they will sell more physical versions to digital owners since thats the only way to play it.

Think of the extra sales they'll get from future PS5 games "IF" gamers felt they'd get updates in the future to make them even better (and for free). And if it's as cheap as you think it will be, it's a no-brainer. And the bolded is WHY they should update these games and put those versions on the PS Store.

Because it isn't super-easy.
It takes time, manpower and money. 3 commodities that are not infinite in supply and as such need to be triaged for maximum benefit.

Oo. New word for me. Thanks.

A poster above said it'll cost like $10,000 to do and maybe 1 or so people. That doesn't sound expensive to me.

What is the deeper insight into this one?So no other source is allowed to make this discovery ?
DF goes even deeper with the analysis even if it's thanks toNXGamer discovery !
And holy shit I love this game. Can't wait for my ps5 to replay it.

He shows framerate overlays over ps4 pro 4k, 1080p versions and over patched and unpatched ps5 versions. Also speaks a bit about 1.03 patch changelog like Added HDR and changed stick sensitivity.
Even shows the ini file with the cap
Your video was enough for me anyway and I like watching your channel. Hope You will explore more bc once there are more interesting titles.

It's not about them not allowed to talk about it, it's just giving credit to the one got the game exposed first. Not so hard if they're not bloated by their ego.

Patched version has NG+. I've beaten GOW multiple times and if I were to replay the game again, it would be a GMGOW NG+ playthrough. The game is a lot more fun when Kratos has all his abilities from the start.

That didn't work for me. The game still updated to newest version on next restart... Had to deactivate the internet connection altogether.
Plus the game freezes in 60fps mode around to 4-5 times within specific cut scenes. So you will have to reinstall the patch play through that scene and reinstall the disc version. Not cool, but manageable.

Wait... so the game is unfinishable without a patch ?

Yes. I know of 2 people who had the exact same problem in the exact same scenes. So it's reasonable to assume it's a game logic thing.

which scene? how far into the game ?
Well, 1890p 30fps is still an upgrade for me... I played the game on slim. that is 1080p 24 fps

Somewhere in the middle, when Trico tries to catch you from a crumbling bridge. It only happens in scripted sequeces, never 'in-game'.which scene? how far into the game ?

10k isn't going to cover the QA cycle necessary to test any change that affects the entirety of a game across multiple system configs.
Publicly traded companies can't fly by the seat of their pants like solo or independent developers/enthusiasts can. There are a lot of things that can go wrong, which isn't to say that they will, but avoidance of creating new issues is of major concern to a platform holder.
The reality is that this behaviour most likely never came to light during the PS5 compatibility process because Sony could not expend resources testing TLG in any form other than the fully patched one. So the assumption that they are/were aware of this is dubious to begin with, let alone set plans in place to further patch the title.
Its why they have a catch-all caveat about unexpected behaviour that the user should always ensure the version of the software is the latest version. They can't cover every base for every title because they don't have infinite time and resources to spend.

My test of running The Last Guardian (PS5) 4K 60FPS HDR Gameplay

Wait, they patched the game?
Before you can only get 4K/60 on disc 1.00 before the HDR patch which locked 4K/30.

I'm running at 4k 60fps via ps5 backwards compatibility on disc version 1.00 version. Still no patch

Ah ok. I thought HDR came later, that's why I was confused.

That's PS5 Auto HDR, not original game hdr
DeepEnigma

I didn't realize the PS5 has that feature as well. How does it compare to the HDR patched later in the game?
I have both physical and digital versions, when I finally get a PS5 I will probably just run the disc for the 4K/60 anyhow.

It does not. PS5 simply packages SDR in an HDR container by default, there's no dynamic range remapping going on. It looks the same as SDR (excepting minor conversion errors)if your TV is properly calibrated, otherwise you're only seeing differences in TV settings/picture modes. Xbox actually attempts to remap the dynamic range and make artistic choices, PS5 does not do that.

You need the disc version 1.00, since they patched the unlocked framerate in later versions.

Less likely in this case. We'll see.

Doesn't sound like much of a catch to me.

Is this the case still? Do I need to install disc and cancel the updates?

Unfortunately, there are a few spots in the game where 1.0 freezes. The first of them being the demo they showed at e3. So you either need to patch the game in order to advance then uninstall while keeping the save progress and install again while the PS5 is offline. I was too lazy to do that so I went back to 30hz.

and 1.0 does not have hdr. It's not worth it. Just play patched at 30

This game is so broken it runs faster than engine's default speed, and it took mr.10 years 1 game actually 10 years to make it before quitting work, Sony never even mentioned how many copies it sold ever meaning it was a flop, a big one like it started at no.4 in japan and 7 in UK and never got back up

I'm already a good chunk through, just thought about jumping back on PS5 and finishing. Hopefully the rest of the game isn't too buggy.
A locked 30 is still a huge step up, as this game has many dips on OG PS4.
