Yeah but Nintendo didn't do it so it doesn't count. 😉

If that's your take thinking I'm some Nintendo fan you have paid zero attention to my posts. You are grossly misunderstanding what is going on what the game is doing and what I am saying. But hey, WonderBoy in Monsterworld did the Ocarina mechanic on SEGA Genesis in 1991.

I understand perfectly well what the game does anf what you can do with the game, Horizon Forbidden Wests technical elements are still more impressive personally. If TOTK had released before VR games or the simulator craze I'd be more impressed but as is the age and the times, I was more impressed with MGS2's melting ice cubes and darts staying where they hit on the enemy or Half Life 2's physics, too much has happened it gaming in the mean time and I've spent too much time in VR doing crazy physics stuff with the added mindblowing element of being inside the game, it's difficult to be excited for what TOTK is doing in 2024 especially when they remain in the past in so many other areas to achieve it, Link is still dead silent ffs and they try to tell an epic tale where characters talk at a mute MC, it's cringe inducing and we shouldn't have to take it because that's the way it's always been.  

I'm glad that it blows your mind though, I'm not trying to take anything away from you or TOTK, You love it so enjoy it, no need to be getting so insecure about it. It's just that Horizon Forbidden Wests technicals are more impressive to me personally.

Sub 1080p base resolution shouldn't happen in 2024...

Alan Wake 2 (847p), Silent Hill 2 (864p), Dragon Age The Veilguard (835p) and Jedi Survivor (864p) all have image instability issues in their Performance modes with PSSR.

Silent Hill 2, a ps2 game, at 864p on PS5 Pro? Wtf. The screenshots don't look all that impressive until you check out the ones with the fog removed. I guess it's not optimized much.

Silent Hill 2 is not a PS2 game, though? That's like saying FF7 Remake is a PS1 game, it isn't.

As for the thread, I don't think the PS5 is utterly useless, it does what Sony said it would do on launch. I just think it's a very underwhelming and expensive upgrade, so I won't ever buy one.

True, it's a full remake. But they aimed too high or didn't bother optimizing as much. Perhaps we'll still get a proper PS5 Pro patch. In the mean time I'll stick with my memory of SH2 on PS2, which blew my mind at the time. I don't want to 'tarnish' those memories with a problematic version.

SotC also had a full remake and ran perfect. 1080p30 on base ps4, 1080p60 on pro or 1440p30 upscaled to 4K. Also had great water!




Also a good candidate to try out PS5 Pro boost mode :)

(And still the best, most believable, horse mechanics)

SoTC on pro was PS5 graphics before the PS5, if it runs at 60 fps now in resolution mode I'm sure it holds up to other, at least third party ps5 games.
