I can take this, at least you tried it before you complained (played the starting portion at least), you must have a bling, bigass tv.. maybe they shouldn't upscale to 4k for performance and just make it 1440 or 1080I replayed HZD and finished literally minutes before booting up HW. The first thing I'll say is Performance mode is absolute dogshit. It's hilarious that Sony shipped it like this. Five minutes into the beginning and there is a huge sprawl of red blight that is so bad looking that I couldn't believe it. Even Aloy has massive shimmering and aliasing, it's pathetic. A straight 1440p would have been significantly better looking than this abomination. I don't know what their obsession is with CBR but they need to use new techniques for when it isn't appropriate.
As for Resolution mode, while it's absolutely breathtaking, it plays like shit as well. It's fine when you are just walking around but as soon as you get into combat with multiple enemies it feels terrible. Having just finished HZD, and Frozen Wilds in particular, the thought of fighting a Fireclaw or Scorcher at 30 fps makes me want to vomit. Fast paced combat with precise movements feel nearly impossible in this mode.
Honestly, the game is disappointing all around. Both modes have significant drawbacks that make me not even want to play until they either patch the game, or the PC version is released.
