What an amazing developer!

Perhaps I should have voted for them in the TGA instead of Bluepoint. Both deserve.

 

[Nymphae]

Not sure why you'd choose either of the original options when they've combined the features of both.

Good shit, looking forward to playing this when I can get it cheap.

 

[Boss Mog]

Thank you Insomniac for giving us all these options. More options are always a good thing.

 

[Agnostic2020]

Updated the op with comparison shots .

They look indistinguishable. Damn great job insomniac

 

[AdjudicatorHead]

I think one of the biggest reasons why this is so impressive is because Insomniac's temporal upscaling is so damn powerful. Like, the fact they're able to upscale what is assumed to be 1080p in this new mode to look that sharp without some hardware-assisted deep learning like DLSS is astounding. Hats off to them, they're such a solid developer with insane output and Sony got a bargain in buying them.

3.Fidelity

[CyberChulo]

No update for that yet . I know because I have both installed and only miles got the update 2 hours ago

Thanks!

 

[mansoor1980]

the performance only mode has no point now

 

[Skifi28]

As 1080p monitor user, this is perfect.

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Just booted it up and I'm so impressed. Performance RT is the way I'll be playing it from now. I was playing in Fidelity mode because the RT seemed to add some kind of "depth" to the whole presentation and I didn't mind the locked 30fps, but this bring the two biggest pieces of the puzzle together for me. Resolution is nice, but RT and 60fps is nicer to me.

couldn't have agreed more!

 

[AdjudicatorHead]

I cannot wait for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, hopefully it gets a 60fps RT mode with Insomniac's incredible temporal upscaling too. I was a kid playing Ratchet & Clank on my PS2 at launch and I've been in love with the series ever since. Purely from that, it's my most hyped PS5 game.

 

[BuffNTuff]

Is the upscaling really that fantastic in practice?

valhalla looks noticeably different in quality vs performance modes and it’s not even 1080p vs 4K

 

[Shakka43]

This is great, I'm actually glad I put the game on hold to finish other games first now.

Insominac temporal injection method is very impressive for up resolution

Whenever I can get a PS5DE, I'll most certainly play through the first time in fidelity mode, because I have a 4K TV, and 30fps never bothered me. It's a stable 30, so that's good. I'll try both performance modes to see which looks better on any ensuing playthroughs.

Why wouldn't you use the mode that combines both

 

[A Most Virtuous Cat]

Hallelujah!!!!! 60FPS + RT GANG! WHERE U AT!! I need this to become the standard moving forward.

Request for everyone who loves this mode: Please tweet to Insomniac and Sony showing your appreciation so we can have this mode in every game moving forward!

 

[Boss Mog]

Performance/RT (60fps):

Performance (60fps):

Fidelity (30/RT):

The film grain effect looks overdone here.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

Sounds like everyone was choosing performance over RT.

I will see how it looks because I am 13.5 feet from my glorious TV. Might be a good option go have in more games.

RT seems like it could be a bigger difference than 4K on consoles...I think 4k just helped us get to 1080p, and 120 fps got us 60 fps.

 

[Portugeezer]

It combines both... at the cost of more resolution. Obviously some people don't want to be playing 1080p on their 4k TV. (I'd try it to see how it looks first)

 

[skneogaf]

Very quick to add this once the developer tweeted hmmm!

Ah I didn't read the details, I see lol.

I only have a 1080p tv and the choice seems pretty easy to me.

I was watching some reviews for something last night on YT and the guy was describing 1080p as blurry compared to 4k and it just made me laugh, like blurry? I guess some people notice these things but for me a huge tv displaying 60 fps 1080p looks insane and I can't imagine turning my nose up at it, I'm actually glad I haven't upgraded beyond 1080p yet lol

I'm in 1080p too, so the performance choices have been pretty easy for the most part.

PS Studios keep on giving, must be the holidays........Though can't be either, because they keep on giving all year.....It's like every day is a holiday at PS Studios...Always giving and delivering....

 

[Md Ray]

Those mfers did it!

 

[Boris The Spider]

New mode looks awesome on a 4k screen but does introduce some shimmer to the outlines of some windows on the buildings, I can live with it though!

 

[PlayerPurple]

Insomniac’s gone from championing 30fps to offering every option imaginable to leave 30fps behind.

What an incredible turnaround!

 

[TheDude108]

Great news this as as mentioned, Ratchet and Clank should benefit from this as well. Can't see them not doing it.

 

[WiseguyMVP]

Nice! Gonna be fun when we finally play .

Insomniac, please do to the same for the remastered game!

Resolution is nice, but RT and 60fps is nicer to me.

For me, the depth of the image is added by the increased resolution in Fidelity mode, not as much the RT, but you still get the feeling you had from the Performance RT mode? Thats great, best of both worlds it seems.

 

[Kuranghi]

1. Performance
2.Performance + RT
3.Fidelity

(found it from twitter here)

I wouldn't use this as a comparison for anything except the RT, because the detail of the image has been destroyed by compression, so the difference in sharpeness/resolution won't be seen here. Best to see it native on your set to decide. Good RT simple comparison though.

 

[Nakasan]

Yep, totally agree. Seems Insomniac thought these graphic options through well, and delivered each very very well!

 

[Thief1987]

Yes overall image is softer, but not that much. Reflections is more "noisy" but i don't think it would be noticeable during normal gameplay. From ~30 min that i played performance seems solid. For 1080p users this is practically no trade-off mode.

 

[bargeparty]

Did they update the OG too?

 

[Agnostic2020]

Did they update the OG too?

Not till now.

 

[SlimySnake]

1080p 60 fps makes no sense if they can do native 4k 30 fps.

Should've been 1440p. I have no idea what kind of bottleneck is preventing devs from doing this. Halving the resolution to 1440p should easily get you enough gpu raw power to double the framerate.

I really hope it's closer to 1440p or I'm going to disappointed in cerny.

 

[iHaunter]

the performance only mode has no point now

Texture resolution is still far higher, RT resolution is as well.

How do you know its not 1440p?

 

[Shmunter]

Reporting back. Goddamn perfection. Game still looks sharp and detailed, reflections everywher, people, cars all reflecting and moving at a crisp 60fps.

If the remaster gets the same update, it’s finally worth the chowder.

No one knows the native resolution yet.

 

[Represent.]

What an efficient developer.

Won't be touching anything thats 1080p ever again but this is a great option

 

[mckmas8808]

This is the way it should have been done from the beginning. Fuck 30fps two ways from Sunday! Can only speculate most people switched to 60 and never went back and the stats encouraged a rethink.

That’s right, we want it all, and we want it now!

I played the whole game at 30 fps and it was amazing.

the performance only mode has no point now

Higher resolution. Dynamic 4K is the point of performance mode.

 

[SoggyBiscuit]

Guess this just got bumped to a "must-buy" for me. Extremely impressive work. Insomniac stay winning

 

[DeepEnigma]

Now that is dope. I hope it becomes staple in their games as well as the rest of the WWS.

The ideal for me are 3 options. Best graphics + resolution, best resolution + performance, best graphics + performance. So people choose they want play.

Logically you would be right, but it probably isn't a linear relationship with their specific solution.

 

[Hakiroto]

They had to wait until the day after I finished it! That said, new game plus with this setting should be fun. Can't wait to check it out later. All that said, I had absolutely no issues with the 30 FPS but if I can have RT and 60 I'll take it.
