Forums - Sony Discussion - Would settle for lower native res option over AI upscaling on base PS5? (Poll)

 

To gain 40-60 fps goals, I would like...

A lower resolution option 900p 60fps 2 28.57%
 
A lower resolution option 1080p 40fps 0 0%
 
Lower graphical detail goals 3 42.86%
 
AI upscaling (even from sub 900p) 0 0%
 
A mix of the above 0 0%
 
To wait for 10th gen, 9th gen is a write off 2 28.57%
 
Total:7

Going f4om Blavk Myth Wu Kong bavk to Adtrobot is a sock and a half. It might not be very real looking but my God is the image quality prestige and everything pops off the screen but more than that it doesn't feel like it's falling parat or fluctuating in quality. It's such a breath of fresh air and it has loads of stuff going on, on screen to make up for the graphical quality. Making the environment full of life and intractable goes a long way, perhaps even longer than if they put the recourses into making everyrh9ng super detailed. It's detail in itself just like Ghost of Tsushima with the particle effects. 

Same for Nobody Wants to die, looks AA as hell but it has great image quality so it automatically looks better than Blavk Myth Wu Kong. I wouldn't want Wu kong looking like Astrobot or everygame setting goals that low but there has to be a middle ground. I could have done with a lot less detail in WuKong instead of that detail looking like smeared ejaculate.

Around the Network

90% of the people who buy PlayStations don't care or know anything about these issues. If it means that much to you that means you should be on PC.

Or maybe it would be better centred around PS5 Pro since that is meant to be an enthusiast device, so you'd believe people who paid that much money would want as many performance and QoL options as possible. But in that case it doesn't help that the initial marketing of PS5 Pro was to 'take away the burden of choice by offering the best of everything', which of course was marketing baloney; before even addressing the most obvious flaw (that gamers actually prefer choice) no piece of hardware can simply offer the best of everything without compromising somewhere; even a 5090 won't be able to play every game on max settings at native 4K with full RT at 240FPS minimum; meanwhile the PS5 Pro saddled with an outdated CPU sure as hell can't get 4K at 60fps on every game without making some obvious compromises at times.

That long tangent on PS5 Pro just brings me to my point that Playstations, be it a standard or a Pro model, are still just a mainstream consumer device, they're not aimed at enthusiasts who care about every detail or obssess over them like you seem to. PS5 owners just want some basic choices, they won't even know or care if they're getting good ones.

I'm not obsessing and people do notice, MH wilds is showing people notice and they just don't have the terminology to express it. This is a problem that shouldn't exist when ot didn't exist of PS4, a much, much weaker console. I'm talking about image quality here, not graphics. Returnal looks great, plays at 60fps and perfect image quality, same for Demon Souls and Stellar Blades balanced mode is smooth enough for most people while retaining great image quality that only falls apart in some very specific areas and are easily ignored. The problem isn't the hardware. 



I wan't 1080p to 1440 at 120 fps. I'm tired of motion blur plaguing games this gen.

Idk how you can see motion blur as worse than whatever the hell was wrong with Wu Kong by chapter 6 and flying around on the nimbus the image seems like it's ready to tare itself apart with the ammount of trailing burn in and artifiacting, I changed to all the settings and even quality mode was a disaster but if you don't notice it I'd highly recommend you never attempt to or you won't stop seeing it and it looks like we're in for it for the rest of this gen. I'd take motion blur ant day of the weak over stuttering frames on quality mode or the sickening image quality issues of some performance modes. Also, I can't figure out how you're against motion blur but the destined ones staff leaves an actual blur to hide artifacting going on around his movements. You can't see shit of what the monkey is doing if you try where as in Stellar Blade you can perfectly see every cm, I paid quite a bit of attention to Eve's movements and could always see everything very clearly, a lot better than Wu Kong but good lord, even in balanced mode the artifacting around the edges of his character model is atrocious. The only way I can see to help this issue is to downgrade to a smaller TV but 43" is sadly the lowest 4k sets go. Might have to do it if this nonsense continues.
