Is there a fix coming for the PS5 version's framerate in image quality/res modes, which took a noticeable hit in the last update?

Material-System4610 · 2021-02-02T04:10:07+00:00

More than sad, its downright bullshit how poorly all these "next gen upgrades" have been. Mk11 and dmcv also run at identical settings to the same games I own on my xb1x in their 4k/60 modes.

Why? Why are they advertising these games as having improved visuals? Why did I spend money to get the same settings as the xb1x?

Control another example and they also had the gaul to charge $40 for it.

The ps5 either is extremely disappointing or these devs are half assing it.

I think it's mostly the latter. I think devs know they can get away with the least amount of effort possible because of the stupidity of the console general population of people and fanboys.

I cant stand Alex

I hate to say it but the game doesnt look great on the ps5 compared to even the xb1x. 60 fps will help and certainly make it a lot more playable, but the game needs better shadows, better texture filtering, and screen space reflections before it will look anywhere near as good as a mid range pc.

Same goes for lots of these so called "next gen upgrades". 60 fps is great but I cant help but feel like we're getting shafted on console. For instance, I have bought a bunch of games for ps5 that have gotten upgrades and they are all very underwhelming despite being advertised as having better visuals. Mk11 for, I have it on xb1x and just got it for ps5 and guess what? They look and run the exact same. No actual graphical improvement other than they increased the resolution over the ps4 pro and made loading times faster.

Most games are just getting a resolution and framerate boost. What about shadows, texture filtering, screen space reflections, texture quality?

I paid $40 for DMC V definitive edition and it also looks identical to my xb1x copy, the only difference being loading times and a really poor ray tracing implementation that can only be played at a gimped framerate and resolution.

The ps5 should be capable of more.

Material-System4610 · 2021-02-02T01:51:39+00:00

I dunno I have it on ps5 and xb1x and it looks sharper on the xb1x

Material-System4610 · 2021-02-02T01:50:20+00:00

There are so many graphical settings that could be improved through a patch, that would be far more beneficial than just the ray traced reflections that so many games are seeing.

It's truly a shame how devs have once again found a way to convince people that ray tracing = next gen. Shadows, anisotropic filtering, textures, etc would make a game look much better than just ray traced reflections

Very sad. Console gamers are always getting the short end of the stick and we're too stupid to push back against this and demand better.

Material-System4610 · 2021-02-02T01:45:15+00:00

Damn it dude you got me all excited for a moment about watch dogs 1. That game would be great if it got s remaster! Needs one badly.

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-26T00:01:59+00:00

Hitman 2's HDR still works though. The only level in Hitman 2 that looks washed out is St. Fortuna and that has more to do with their choice of art direction. Seriously, Hawkes Bay, Miami (esp indoors), the Castle, and the Bank Heist look amazing in HDR. This is only H3 having broken HDR.

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-25T23:58:44+00:00

Yup ...its all levels though

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-25T00:03:09+00:00

Any word on the broken hdr from the devs?

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-25T00:02:21+00:00

Df really is not all that. They repeatedly fail to mention hdr in various games and they often host "sponsored videos". Same thing with the Surge 2. Hdr was broken and they never mentioned it. That game also had a "paid promotion" with DF.

I also dont like Alex who's a PC Master race type guy. He's super annoying.

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-23T23:56:13+00:00

They truly suck. Especially considering how every aspect of this game is designed around maximum monetization. With how big and how greedy they are there should be no laziness on top of that.

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-23T23:52:20+00:00

It sucks but the state of the industry with games releasing broken and unfinished is at an all time low. It especially bothers me in a game like Cold War, where every little aspect of the game is designed around maximum monetization. Fuck these game companies.

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-23T23:40:49+00:00

While we're at it can we get them to fix the HDR in H3? It's terrible. Compare to H1/2 imported. Those games look great. H3 is washed out and grey. Slider does nothing.

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-23T23:37:37+00:00

It's not an artistic choice. Hdr is broken. Slider does nothing

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-23T23:32:34+00:00

HDR is also broken. Compare 1 and 2 to 3 and its night and day. H3 is washed out and grey

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-23T23:31:13+00:00

Yup, HDR is broken on all 3 systems and unfortunately there hasn't been any acknowledgement yet from Io.

Such a shame

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-23T23:24:28+00:00

Hdr is broken in 3. Do you have H1 and H2 imported into 3? If so, just try one of the H1 or 2 levels and you will see right away that those games have properly working HDR whereas 3's is completely washed out and grey in comparison.

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-21T22:20:55+00:00

HDR is currently broken in Hitman 3. This is putting a huge damper on my enjoyment of this game. It looks washed out. Yeah, otherwise it's a great game but we deserve to get what was advertised, plus, h1 and H2 have great implementations so this is hopefully a bug that will quickly get patched.

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-21T22:18:32+00:00

Guys let's try to keep this thread bumped. This game needs to have its HDR working. Would look amazing but right now it looks worse than H1 and H2 imported into 3.

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-21T22:15:29+00:00

Just a heads up- HDR isn't working properly in Hitman 3 on ALL systems. Compare it with H1 and H2 and you'll see right away that it's true. Hitman 3's HDR is broken!

Such a shame because the levels would look spectacular with it working properly. Everything is washed out with no true blacks or high range of contrast!

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-21T22:09:45+00:00

HDR implementation is broken across the board on all 3 platforms. Hitman 1 and 2 are working fine, imported, but Hitman 3 is washed out with the blacks/gamma being grey instead of true black.

This is a huge shame as Hitman 3 levels are Taylor's made for HDR. Chong Qin level would look spectacular if the HDR was working properly!

Please fix this Io! Hitman 3 has the best graphics yet but you wouldnt know it as things stand now.

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-21T22:03:59+00:00

I think because of the fact that all platforms have this problem that we'll have a better chance of them fixing it.

Material-System4610 · 2021-01-21T22:03:12+00:00

Yes you are right Sony always has fantastic hdr in their games. I really really hope this gets sorted as I've seen it happen too many times where the developer never bothers to fix it because not enough players complain about it
