I really dislike that even big channels like Digitial Foundry still spread misinformation about the reason why Sony pulled Cyberpunk out of PS Store. It wasn't because game was broken, because there were (and still are) way more broken games (and tons of shovelware) on PS Store. Game was pulled because CDPR started to offer refunds for anyone who would request one, which is against Sony's politics when it comes to refunds on PS Store (those rules are pretty garbage and anti-consumer even to this day).
@BAD7667 Жыл бұрын
Yeah, I don’t know why that is the default narrative. It makes Sony look good when in reality they would have never pulled the game from the store had CDPR not offered refunds to people. That probably pissed Sony off with their terrible customer service and stance on no refunds for any reason. This is the same company that will threaten to ban your account (resulting in you losing access to any digital games you purchased) should you ask for more than one refund and will shadow ban you from even accessing customer services. I don’t know why Sony and Nintendo get away with having no refund system when Steam and Xbox both have them.

I think the new driver/vehicle AI is causing some (not all) of these wild FPS drops on console. CDPR has stamped out a lot of bugs, but now the traffic situation is out of control broken at times, with frequent and hilarious chaos taking over at random. Cyberpunk always had goofy car glitches, sure... but it was never quite this bad before, in over 100hrs of play. The occasions are so dramatic and frequent now that its hard to dismiss, and while The Glen and City Center seem most prone to this behavior, it definitely happens around Watson too. Really though, barring a big patch this morning (the 26th)... I challenge anyone on console to thoroughly play in busy areas and NOT notice multiple, wild vehicle glitches- cars piling up, cars spontaneously exploding, NPCs driving along happy in burned-out wrecks, or casually abandoning their vehicle in oncoming traffic. Its ridiculously common now, and way more prevalent than 1.6. Sunday I streamed a session for my friends that involved DOZENS of wild traffic interactions, with many causing immediate dips and endless laughs. Often, when I experience unusual FPS drops in familiar areas, I can find some of this comedy gold nearby. There is just no way this level of AI and physics dysfunction ain't causing issues. I really think this is condition in some of the wildly variable performance in crowded zones (and why a restart might fix it).

I didn't feel this engrossed by a sci-fi action RPG since the original Mass Effect on the Xbox 360) - I confirm that the random mayhem on Liberty City's street is that one major smear that can get distracting, at times, breaking up the sense of immersion. From police cars running into pedestrians to regular ones suddenly slamming into each other or changing route in the silliest way, crashing into my vehicle for no reason... That, and of course the temporal scaling-induced flashing, especially at night. Really hope this one will get patched, eventually.

4:26 "sometimes" No, it's constant. And it's still very obvious in performance mode too. That issue has been in the main game on Xbox Series for a very long time, as well as constant stutter/hitching in performance mode and FreeSync being completely broken. People keep acting like the game is so polished now, but I think that's only because of the contrast effect from having launched in such a catastrophic state. The game is STILL one of the least polished that I've played on XSX, and riddled with bugs and technical issues. It took them until 2.0 just to get billboard textures to stream properly in first person driving mode (this applied to all platforms), a bug that existed since day 1. Wish you guys would do a proper deep dive into the XSX performance mode framerate drops and stutter in the main game, because you greatly understated how bad that was in your previous videos. And why is Freesync non-functional on XSX when it works perfectly in TW3 remaster (same engine and devs).

I would have to agree with this. The FSR issue is a constant and consistent issue. Absolutely no plug intended, but I uploaded a recent vid trying to show how prevalent it is. It's definitely worse while driving and far more noticeable at night with lots of light sources. But it does happen in the daytime as well whether walking or driving. In my experience it happens just as much in performance mode as it does in quality. Also in my experience as Oliver mentioned, it does not happen on the PS5 version. It does happen on PC though If you use FSR and enable DRS. If it does happen on PS5 and I have missed it in my testing, it must be incredibly rare. The only thing people can do is post on some of the current official forum topics related to the issue and file a bug report via the official forums.

4:25 - Thank you! When it fisrt started happening after patch with FSR2 I thought I was going crazy. It's basically the same on PC if you enable Dynamic Resolution, the game "flashes" for a frame to re-resolve parts of the scene. I'm not sure what's going on but this is extremely annoying. I feel it's gotten better after patch 2.0 but it's still definetely there as you pointed out. I hope FSR3 fixes this but I'm not holding my breath... (and we don't even know when it's coming out) From what I observed it also seems that this only happens when dynamic resolution has to "work hard". If you switch to 30FPS, where the resolution has to fluctuate much less, it's significantly improved, to the point of being a non-issue.

@@funbrute31 What I've seen of Cyberpunk (tech wise), at least on console, leaves a lot, and I mean a lot to be desired. When compared to the games I mentioned, those games deliver beautiful, fluid graphics, with fantastic performance. Spiderman does RT on its performance mode, same with R&C (albeit no way near the level of a high end rig) and does it well. Cyberpunk was a catastrophe at launch and it's still struggling. Of course, if you're talking from a PC perspective, it's a different game visually and in its performance. It's apples and oranges when juxtaposing the two platforms. That much is axiomatic.

@@esbeekay developers are using upscaling tech more and more now because of how graphically intense these games are they can’t output those high internal resolutions. So they rely on upscaling to push 1440-2160p. Some games go as low as 720p internal then upscaled to 1440p and this is the end result. Partly because A) games are too heavy now for the consoles power B) some developers suck at proper optimization or they simply just want to rely on upscaling tech.

Starting off with the Series S, Series X, PS5, then ending with the PS5 vs Xbox side-by-sides, which will help make things less complicating. Lastly, you have to cover the bugs. It is not nearly as bad as the release version, but saying you didn't see many noticable bugs is very strange to hear. There are still bugs, and you should never skip over them. There has never been a game released, that didn't have a bug, so you should be pointing them out when you see it. Other than that, it was a fantastic review. Cheers! 🍻

I've been playing it for a few hours and CD Projekt Red is definitely back to form. It's an excellent, well put together experience with action and set-pieces and it has that polish that was missing in the base game. Even Cyberpunk's somewhat janky character animations are FAR better in the DLC area, Idris Elba's motion capture is so clean, it's crazy. There's a lot more density and a "designed" feel to the area and doesn't feel as...empty as the rest of NC, which is a great game too now, but it does fall short in many areas. I'm VERY excited for their next game again. We're back to Witcher 3 quality. The dialogue writing also has a more meaningful tone than many of the main game's missions (apart from the main quests, those were great in the base game).
