The fall damage and turning down the swing assist is honestly going to be a game changer for me. I am beyond pumped!

[@harryjd0_0]

Same, I've been playing Spider-Man 2 (2004) on an emulator recently, so I'm so gonna turn fall damage on and swing assist straight to 0 for sure.

[@Mr.MacMan]

@@harryjd0_0 yep. It just increases the skill floor/ceiling increasing fun and replay value

​@@harryjd0_0what would happen if you turn the Swinging assistance down would it be easier or harder

[@fall-neckthetallneck2977]

​@@ryandempsey1300 Turning the swinging assistance down makes it more physics based(harder).

@@ryandempsey1300 yeah, like someone else said, it will make it harder. It adds physics to the swinging similar to spider man 2 on the ps2 if you've ever played that classic.

[@prateek.gothwal]

For setting 5, you don’t want to set the 120Hz mode to auto, because it changes the PS5 color format to YUV422 from RGB and the colors look washed out in this setting. Performance mode with 120HZ mode OFF is the best setting to play the game in my opinion

[@donew1thita11]

Thanks I knew something looked off

[@TheSkruds]

Mine is still rgb with vrr enabled and I’m on hdmi 2.1 but for someone on hdmi 2.0, which is probably your case, they should do like you said and play with 120hz mode off

[@prateek.gothwal]

@@TheSkruds are using a 2k or 1080p display? PS5 does not support RGB output on 4k 120Hz mode even on HDMI 2.1 It is the limitation of PS5 HDMI port PS- you can keep VRR to any setting. It’s the 120Hz mode that has this limitation

[@TheSkruds]

@@prateek.gothwal yes I’m using 2k

[@hassejr7072]

Not only that,but with 120 off, you can still play 60 FPS on 4k. I have (LG1 tv).

Game just came out and it won't let me take off performance mode for fidelity mode. Kinda weird and won't change no matter what I did. EDIT: I just found a solution in case anybody wants to change it and doesnt work. When you open the visual tab and change the performance to fidelity mode press "R2" so you don't get the prompt to restart your lobby. (Restarting was not working for me) after pressing R2 simply leave the settings and it should be working fine after that

[@MalitiaHDOfficial]

Just an FYI increasing the camera animation actual zooms in your FOV by alot so it makes the swinging and scale of the city less impressive imo.

[@Octorious]

I noticed this shortly after posting! Thank you for sharing in the comments. I did further testing and what's weird is reducing it on SM2018 doesn't have the same effect as it does in SM2 at ALL. It's almost like they do slightly different things, it's weird.

[@MalitiaHDOfficial]

@@Octorious yea not sure what the goal was with this setting, maybe having it zoomed in was suppose to make the camera shake more? It could also be bugged possibly who knows.

[@Octorious]

@MalitiaHDOfficial Maybe! It feels for me as though 0 in SM2 is actually the equivalent to 10 in SM2018 and you can't get to the equivalent of what 0 was in SM2018

[@RatedRY]

My display supports 120hz but only at 1080p, it does support vrr at 4k but I cant' seem to get the 40fps to work because anytime I switch the 120hz option to auto it reverts the resolution to 1080 so I'll probably end up going with performance but I'm really trying to give fidelity a try because it does look significantly better. Anyway, this video is just really helpful in general I actually had no idea what film grain was lol, so it's nice to know I shouldn't have it turned off completely and the UI tips were really helpful too.

[@Octorious]

Glad to help! :D Regarding your 120hz option, to get fidelity working at 40fps, you would need your PS5 to be outputting in the 120hz mode as well so if that means your resolution has to come down to 1080p, then that's your only way unfortunately. You might find it better to play in performance in this case :)

[@Tulio2024]

Can you change the audio language at your liking? My ps5 is set on spanish but I play every game with its original language because it feels weird otherwise, is that an option in the game or should I just change my ps5 language to english?
