Damn that's a good looking game in either Graphics or Performance mode.

Since its a racer, odds are the biggest majority will play in Performance mode, especially if it also retains the high resolution.

Kahan ki aur kis ki baat ko kahan mila dia 🤣

Deathloop is a single-player game with optional multiplayer invasions. Forza Horizon 5 is a racing game where playing competitively is one of the main things. Why would someone want to play at 40fps and be at a disadvantage 🤷‍♂️:LOL:

I will be playing it in performance mode I doubt we will be able to observe those increased level of details....if I had a RTX 3090 PC then it would've been a different story but anyways the consoles today are good enough to make you not miss the PC that much

Same, I really don't care that much about motion blur, but their comment about the difference in pop in was interesting, need to see if the pop is visibly notable in the performance mode to me on my screen.

Happened with Watch Dog Legion as well. Quality mode are already back to 30fps and this is a cross-gen game without ray tracing on a very well optimized engine.

Recommended specs are slightly higher than FH4 and FrozaTech engine's dynamic optimization is pretty good. Should be able to get ~100fps at Ultra preset. VRR will take care of the rest.

Conveniently removing the other part of the full sentence to start an argument. Typical of CerebralTiger :ROFLMAO:

Meaning modes with higher fidelity are 30fps even in cross-gen games without ray tracing. Hopefully people have dialed back their expectations from these consoles for "current gen" only games 🤷‍♂️

Modes with higher fidelity are 30fps even in current-gen only games w/ or w/o ray tracing. There is no trend here that indicates current-gen only games can't or won't have 60fps performance modes 🤷‍♂️

Heck, the best FPS series will likely continue offering a 120fps mode :LOL:🤜

Yeah let's see but they were nitpicking there we need to wait for another refresh like a series X pro and ps5 pro to get native 4K 60fps gameplay without sacrifices basically quality mode @60fps. The only thing I didn't like in FH4 was the draw distance for objects/grass even on max/ultra settings on PC you could visibly see the changes a few meters away from your car I hope they have fixed that now I haven't been able to spot it yet in FH5 gameplay vids.

Yeah definitely especially if you have a 1080p screen which is pretty common for a 3060 machine...don't get me wrong series S is pretty good for a 4TFLOP machine but I don't like it one bit it's servely underpowered compared to a series X which is just 200$ more. Funny enough it has 512GB storage and to be on par with series X@1TB we need a 140$ expansion card so it's basically 440$ with way less power. I am just mad at Microsoft for doing this a lot of people bought series s because X wasn't available

I think it's more to do with a cheap entry point than hardware availability.

This year there's still a lot of PS4/XBO games coming out, but imagine next year when the last-gen has mostly died out .. the Series S will be the cheapest entry point into the next gen, a good, cheap, thing people can buy during the holiday period as a gift or whatever.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
