Using 120hz to lock 40fps in a Max Fidelity mode on console is pretty awesome. Obviously not for racers or fighters or competitive shooters where you want 60 and up, but for third-person action adventure titles a locked 40fps plays surprisingly smooth and responsive as a midway point, while allowing stunning image quality and ray-tracing.
@phant0mdummy2 жыл бұрын
I'm confused by the fact that you think a racing and fighting game require 60fps and higher, but a third person shooter doesn't. That just is not the case. The situation is that Ratchet itself works well enough, as a cartoon shooter that is not about precision. Where most weapons blast an AOE of some sort and require little touch or finesse. It would not be the same for most other shooters in any perspective. I think Ratchet gets the pass for the style of combat it has, but that scenario would not pan out as well for nearly any other third person shooter title.
@griffgames95382 жыл бұрын
@@phant0mdummy Agreed. Just saying the 40fps option that divides into 120hz is an interesting opportunity on Series X and PS5. I'm usually playing games at 60fps~, but a locked 40 is tangibly better-feeling than 30fps -- so max image quality preset 2160p 30fps modes would play better at this 40fps tier.

I couldn't agree more with Digital Foundry's assessment with Ratchet And Clank Rift Apart. After seeing impressive games like Forza on Series X and Resident Evil and such, hands down Ratchet was the most impressive visualy this year. The ray tracing is absolutely incredible and unlike anything else seen on console to date. The detail in things like leather boots and in metal objects is second to none. Just no other game to date screams next generation quite like Ratchet does. It is a showcase title that just shows how much more powerful of a system PS5 really is, when compared to the last generation systems. I'm not quite surprised however that Digital Foundry picked Ratchet as the most visually stunning game of 2021 after they mentioned in the past that Ratchet was the most impressive game visually that has come across their desk to date in their review of Ratchet. Now for best looking Xbox game, I would say Forza in my opinion when running on Series X. The detail is incredible and the design choices really lend to the game's presentation visually. The game really is a showcase title for the Xbox. While it does have some graphical anomalies and a bit more pop-in than I would like, it doesn't have too much overall to complain about from a visual perspective. It's a very beautiful game. And for Switch, I think Metroid is a no brainer. Basically, as Digital Foundry said here. The team behind the game just really knew how to get the most from the Switches aging hardware. I'm always impressed with what developers can do with the Switch hardware.

The whole game is astonishing. It's one of the greatest games I've ever played. For me its highpoint is the 'Don't Fear The Reaper' boss - the combination of audio and visual elements, the strangeness of it, the way the theme builds and builds as you climb up the mountain to face him/it. It's one of the weirdest, most brilliant bosses ever. He's just sat at an organ the entire fight! It's bonkers. An amazing game, that a lot of people slept on because they either didn't play it, or did play it but gave up because they thought it was too hard. Really the review scores should've been in the 90s, but that initial difficulty spike seems to have put a lot of people off. Which is a shame because it really isn't a hard game.

Rift Apart makes a great case for beautiful stylized Pixar-like visuals. Not everything needs to be about trying to achieve photo-realism in the uncanny valley. There are some jaw-droppingly high geometry/high detail environments in Rift Apart to enjoy.

Epic were always phenomenally advanced on the graphics side of things, but it was their visual design, grasp of colour tone, architecture, alien design, atmospherics; their overall philosophy of 'destroyed beauty', etc that made their Gears games a step above Coalition's for me. It wasn't that they did anything technically special.

I am not sure if you are confusing resolution and frame-rate. Problem with 40 or 45 fps is that it is not evenly divided by 60 Hz refresh rate displays and therefore cause stutter because some frames persist more on the screen than others. 30 fps works because you show the same frame every two refreshes of the 60 Hz display. 120 Hz displays are what allowed Insomniac to go for the 40 fps route since it is evenly divided by 120 Hz (showing the same frame every 3 refreshes of the 120 Hz display).

@@paul1979uk2000 As you can see in the video 40fps runs smooth because it runs in 120hz mode and 40 is divisible by three in 120hz. Would be awful in 60hz.

@Fitzy have you played it ? You could say the same for every cod game and every battlefield game and every sports game. These games are for the story line and gameplay and R&C is excellent in both just a bonus that the graphics are incredible as well
