Digital Foundry - Horizon Forbidden West PS5 patch 1.16: 60fps Performance mode finally fixed!

Massive improvement.  Sometimes these things just take time and effort to solve.  This also bodes well for future Guerrilla Games products.

I played Fidelity since 30fps was fine. Game looks awesome.

Damn, it looked pretty sweet in resolution mode before. But I may give it another playthrough in performance mode. Great game!

One of my screen shots I took during the campaign.

Nice, they finally fixed the fuzziness in performance mode  

 

The stunning game got even prettier now.

Yea it looks spot on now.  No more shimmering.  And they actually fixed all the pop-in issues too, which John goes over towards the end of the video.

 

They needed just a bit more time and a little constructive criticism to get there.  

 

@-GD-X Beautiful pic man.  Post more if you have them!

yeah, the 60fps mode is now the preferred way to play. And I was even in a great spot to test the game before allowing the patch to install, to see how it looked before the patch, and how much it improves with the patch. Even the 30fps fidelity mode feel more "stable" and in 60fps mode, the trees out in the distance have absolutely no shimmer or jutteriness. Really impressive patch.

 

But I was hoping that the 40fps mode would be coming out so that they could still maintain a higher resolution.

 

hopefully that's close.

The you clearly have no preferred way to play it, since you haven't and it's sitting in its case gathering dust like your PS5

No you haven't.  LOL  You dropped it and started playing things like Telling Lies, Unraveled Two, and GTA5...  

 

 

Next thing you're going to say is that you've been waiting for the 40fps mode to play it

These are from the patched performance  mode. Massive difference! 

[-GD-X★ 7,729]

Starting new game +. I loved this game. Sure, Elden Ring is my Go-forever. However, this game was a huge improvement over the first, and it’s gorgeous! 

[-GD-X★ 7,729]

For @Remij since I know he loves purty textures. 

[-GD-X★ 7,729]

The performance is like butter. Better late than never, right? It will look stunning when it’s inevitably ported to PC.

Yea it looks incredible with all the detail.

 

The shimmering in the DF video was really distracting from the previous versions.  It's awesome they fixed it.

Yea, on PC with Ultrawide, DLSS, and higher settings it's gonna look awesome.
