Yeah I only played long enough to test that settings wouldn’t reset but on PS5 I was struck immediately by how much sharper things appeared to be, and a bunch of things in the city suddenly have lighting or particle effects they didn’t have before. I don’t know how that’s possible because the patch notes didn’t mention anything about graphics for the PS version but I would put money on it.

its funny because I typically bounce of of Skyrim type games very easily, but the set & setting of Night City combined with the combat mean this is my favorite FPSRPG ever made pretty easily. The gunplay is much tighter than i was anticipating, once they mop up the bugs and fix driving (they literally cannot leave it this way, the vehicles are practically unusable as is) it's gonna be one of the all-time greats.

I'm thankful every day that, while it's expensive, I have gigabit internet with no data cap (I was transferring like 1tb a day during a major backup situation and never heard a thing from my ISP).

I'm pretty sure that there are different types of patches on PS4. There's definitely a "gently caress everything and just redownload it all" patch type, it's been done several times for Overwatch and certain games that famously decreased in size (Destiny 2, Elder Scrolls Online, Spyro trilogy).

I think that if a game doesn't do this, the PS5 requires that the unpatched 1.00 be left intact somewhere, which is why some games like The Division 2 and Cyberpunk are considerably larger on PS4 (by like 40ish gigs) than on other platforms, I think because that data is usable as a baseline for future delta patches to make them less heavy and probably less complicated (so when you're like 5 patches deep they can still just release a single 1.00->1.05 delta patch and it'll work for everyone including all the 1.01-1.04 versions).

I played the base PS4 version of Cyberpunk yesterday for like an hour to get a feel for how it runs. In a general sense it doesn't seem there's been meaningful performance improvements, and I still got some weird graphical and physics glitch stuff in the city. It might crash less now but no miracles beyond that I don't think.

edit: yeah i went looking for lod issues and i havent seen any like i saw in a twitter video that, no weird popin and density looks better than the last time i played so eh? also not getting this system menu cant close bug also didnt get the settings reset everytime bug. i didnt start this game until patch 1.04 tho so maybe its that? i dont know, poo poo seems rng.

You should probably buy an ultra high speed HDMI cable from monoprice. I believe that's what's required to do 4k120.

HDMI 2.1 is only needed for 120, and that’s if your tv even supports that input.

Like others said, it may be only one or two of your HDMI inputs will do 4K with HDR.

In some cases you might have to explicitly enable HDR support. My Samsung TV supports 4K HDR on all ports but defaults to HDR support being turned off on each one and I have no idea why.

You also need a cable that supports enough bandwidth to deliver it, which ultra high/8k is needed for 4k120 as far as I can tell. Then again they don't make it easy to figure this stuff out, but from what I saw high speed only does 4k60.

I'm sure the Rona is only making things more complicated but yeah console launches usually go like this and the industry keeps growing year after year so this sounds about right

Unlike Nvidia's GPUs, there's no "wave" planned ahead. A lot of shops did receive a bunch of PS5s out of nowhere and put it up for sale soon after, but nothing beyond that.

yeah I mean to be fair I’m pretty sure my Switch situation was very flukey. it was right after launch and like they must have just gotten in a small shipment and my dumb rear end just happened to be wandering by the electronics section on a grocery run and picked one up. it was still months after that I was hearing they were impossible to find

They’re sort of drip releasing them at various retailers and through Sony directly. You kinda have to follow various Twitter accounts like Wario64 and Solelinks to really even have a shot because they get bought up within seconds usually.

You might have to go into your settings on the TV where you can change what HDMi signal is being used for each port, I had to change my new Sonys inputs to "Enhanced Format" to get 4K HDR or 120fps to work.

I have played Cold War's campaign and the last CoD campaigns I played before that is BLOPS 2 and Ghosts. So I can't compare it to the later single player games but I can say is if you like 80s popcorn spy thrillers then it's fine and worth it. I did figure out the ending pretty early though which took some of the wind out of its sails.

Is this real or is this a left handed washer fluid thing? Because if this is real that would explain why I can't get my PS5 to do HDR. I'm not using the same cable as I did with the PS4.

Th cable I got with my ps5 is running 4k HDR and the 120fps modes on my Sony x90 fine.

Like said before mine can only achieve this on inputs 3 and 4, I had to go into some settings on my tv after updating to the 120fps system update.

It's real and dumb because the cables have no distinctions so gently caress you if you just tossed some HDMI cords together in a bin.

There's a whole mess of complications to getting 4k HDR 60fps bullshit working like:

* Proper Cable
* Proper HDMI Port
>> Proper HDMI Port with the correct color 4:4:2 bullshit enabled in the TV menu
* Proper pass through in the Audio equipment if you're passing through a sound bar or receiver

It's absolutely a real thing, the best part is that you often can't trust the labeling on the cables, for example on Amazon there are plenty of cables that won't do what they claim to. I recommend going to Monoprice, they are actually reliable when it comes to cables.

It's absolutely real. You want an 18Gbps HDMI cable: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=15428

Vietnom nom nom posted:

Warning to anyone looking at that cable, that's just an HDMI 2.0 cable NOT HDMI 2.1

If you want 4k/120hz (like if you just bought a new LG CX TV or something), you'll need an HDMI 2.1 cable like the following:
https://www.amazon.com/48Gbps-Compatible-Netflix-Playstation-Samsung/dp/B07S1CGQ9Z/

Those are rated for 48 Gbps and are HDMI 2.1 certified.

The monoprice equivalent would be this:

The cable with the PS5 of course works as well, these are just if you want another for whatever reason.

Yeah the problem is that when I put the PS5 in the entrainment center I moved everything around so I have no idea what is what but I am 100% positive it’s not the same cable I was using before.

When I got a 4k tv about 5 months back, it never occured to me until I got a PS5 that a bunch of issues I had with PS4 cutting out were probably related to using an old HDMI cable that I probably just grabbed out of a basket. Like, I knew it was probably HDMI related but wasn't even aware that the cables came in different speeds now. Of course after getting a PS5 and using the pack in cable solved all of that. I actually almost used the same cable because I was too lazy to unplug it lol.

Everything about TVs and Audio/video stuff has gotten way more confusing and less user friendly in the last few years while on the surface it looks like exactly the same kind of purchase. It's like hobbyist poo poo being sold to normals who have no idea how to best utilize it and getting the best results takes a decent bit of effort as well as looking at guides online and having some sort of troubleshooting skills to begin with. I'd love to see what some of these boomers who have bought 4k TVs have them set up like. Probably a bunch of $1800 4K TVs hooked into a DVD player from 2003 via A/V cables and set to 4:3 lol.
