Far Cry 5 PS4 Pro Render Mode Offers Higher Res or Better Graphics Mode; Presumably on XB1X as Well

The Far Cry 5 PS4 Pro render mode seemingly allows players to pick between a ‘higher resolution’ or ‘better graphics’ mode.

I would like to talk about the picture with the dog... holding a gun lol.

Guns don't cause puppy dogicide.

Profchaos2228d ago

I said fetch the paper Boomer dammit

MadMax2228d ago

It's shows an extreme likeness to Max's dog from Road Warrior.

isarai2228d ago

No performance mode?, id much rather do higher framerate than any of those options

TheCommentator2228d ago

More games need to learn from Turn 10 and decouple their physics framerate from their visuals. Then 30fps isn't too big of a deal. Forza Horizon is 360fps for physics and 30fps for visuals and it's both beautiful and responsive. Sure it's a compromise, but choosing how to use power always is.

OpenGL2228d ago

It's really not that responsive, once you've played Forza Horizon 3 at 60fps you will never want to go back to playing it at 30fps again.

fr0sty2228d ago

CPU limitations on both consoles likely hold that back from happening.

isarai2228d ago

That doesn't even make sense, we have a Resolution increase, or graphical increase, turn both of those enhancements off WILL allow more frames instead. Not saying 60fps, but it will do something above the standard version

Andi_Kom2228d ago

@israi: That´s not how it works. Graphical effects and higher resolutions only need slightly more CPU power. Higher framerates on the other hand need much more CPU resources which just aren´t available. Many studios have confirmed that (PC benchmarks prove that principle as well).

fr0sty2227d ago

Exactly. If physics calculations, animation, collision detection, AI, etc. can't all be processed in less than 16ms, you can't hold a solid 60fps no matter how powerful the GPU is. GPU only renders the visuals, there's a lot more going on in a video game than that, and they all have to work together in harmony. GPU can't wait for CPU to finish doing its thing before sending the frame to the TV.

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2228d ago

Hopefully X1X has the same, plus better textures, shadows, etc. overall since it has more/faster memory.

PFFT2228d ago (Edited 2228d ago )

No if or buts about that. Hell its doing just that with every other title already released. This one shouldnt be any different. I mean we already know Ubi is doing a great job with the X enhancements. Just take a look at what they did with AC:Origins looks no different than the PC version in ultra settings.

iistuii2228d ago

Yeah to look at. But then you move. No 60fps on console & that's where the huge difference is.

2228d ago
Eldyraen2228d ago

ACO got a boost on x even with res bump, so bet Ubisoft will be doing what they can for every game for any platform they release on. So Ubisoft so far is doing it right imo.

Eonjay2228d ago

They will be the same. Roughly. The X doesn't have enough extra power to really be that far ahead of the Pro. The X will probably have a higher resolution. Thats it.

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2228d ago

No, it has more RAM, which means more assets on screen... GPU =Graphics/resolution, CPU = Physics (other CPU extensive task) and Framerate, RAM = Textures, Objects, LOD, etc. ;)

LateNightThirst2228d ago

Oh yeah cause 1440p vs native 4K is barely a difference huh

OC_MurphysLaw2228d ago

I like to see devs starting to offer these kinds of settings for console. I actually wish they would extend that out to the standard versions of games as well. No reason why they couldn't offer up a similar setting for the non-Pro and non-X versions of the consoles. Let gamers have a choice around performance vs graphical fidelity regardless of the consoles ability to push 4k or not.

Played and enjoyed Far Cry, Far Cry 3 and 4 campaigns .

-Foxtrot35d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor35d ago

Yeah, 4 was good, was hard choosing which Golden Dawn member to side with, when they were both pieces of sh!t.
I've beaten all the main entries except 2 and 6, ended up uninstalling 6 to download something else instead.

Profchaos35d ago

I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel

Demetrius35d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger8835d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Same here, I don't know why these games get so much hate. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, with only a couple of exceptions. I wish they'd hurry up and announce Far Cry 7. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rumoured time limit.

Far Cry 5 Has Surpassed 30 Million Players Worldwide

The 2018 first-person shooter has reached this milestone exactly 5 years after its initial release.

Profchaos385d ago

When you're free on every single service it's eventually going to happen.

Profchaos385d ago

Part of PS plus at the moment

ChasterMies385d ago

Far Cry 5 is “free” if you pay for PS+ Extra.

gangsta_red385d ago

Going to have to try and get back into Far Cry. The formula for Far Cry may be fun, but it gets repetitive very fast.

Demetrius385d ago

Been playing this series since far cry 3 I love the adventuring vibe this series gives off even far cry primal is so good, but experiencing far cry 5 in 60 fps crisp graphics on ps5 for the first time is dope it adds life to it, I wana give far cry 6 a second chance couldn’t get into it at first I wonder if it’s worth it

Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS - available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles now

Far Cry 5 Official Twitter: "You've been waiting long enough… Welcome to Hope County! Experience Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS - available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles … NOW! Far Cry 5 will also have a FREE WEEKEND from March 23-27 on all consoles & PC. Enjoy!"

banger88399d ago

Damn. I replayed it recently on SX with fps boost, and to achieve that they had to downgrade the resolution. Game played great but looked like ass. Wish I had've waited.

blackblades399d ago (Edited 399d ago )

So you saying fps boost lowers the resolution to achieve 60fps? Cause that culteastwitch was praising in a fanboy cok suking way.

Darkwatchman399d ago

It depends on the game. Some keep Xbox One X resolution. Others drop to base Xbox One resolution and settings.

Knushwood Butt399d ago

Nice
Waiting to play this on Extra but have had too much else to play.
So is this a native PS5 version or does the PS4 version run at 60fps on PS5?

Jin_Sakai399d ago

As expected, Far Cry 5 will now run at 60 frames-per-second on PS5,

“as part of a patch that optimises the PS4 game on Sony's new-gen console.”

Knushwood Butt399d ago

Downloading now. I might do a bit of pancake gaming this weekend.

Eidolon398d ago

Not native PS5. But still looked pretty good on PS4 Pro, and at a solid 60fps, definitely a good experience. Sadly games can't break out of PS4 Pro resolutions, for some reason.

LucasRuinedChildhood398d ago

PS4 games can run 2-2.5 times better on PS5. They're basically just changing the framerate cap to take advantage of that. They could actually change the resolution but it might affect the framerate - it's not a native PS5 game so it can't properly take advantage of the hardware. 1620p isn't bad, tbh.

Eidolon398d ago

Was really hoping to read that New Dawn would be upgraded as well. :( Already beat Far Cry 5 + and only like 1 hr into New Dawn.

KeeseToast398d ago (Edited 398d ago )

Pretty nice 👍
Now we’ll only need fps boost for:
Arkham Knight
Bloodborne
The Last Guardian
Assassin‘s Creed Unity
Shadow of the Colossus
Gravity Rush 2

Did I forget something?

Welshy398d ago

The worst part about AC Unity is that it *does* run natively at 60fps, but only when running the 1.0 version from the disc. If you allow the game to update, future patches applied a 30fps cap for some reason.

I don't see any reason it would be difficult to just lift the cap that they added.

CML2398d ago

Shadow of the Colossus already runs at 60fps.
Its possible to play The Last Guardian at 60fps with an unpatched disc version too.

Stanjara398d ago

So why not unlock framerate cap on the latest version? Can't be that hard.

CML2398d ago

Probably because the studio doesnt exist anymore. 🥲

LucasRuinedChildhood398d ago (Edited 398d ago )

Absolutely. RDR2 still sells very well so the lack of a next gen version after GTA5 next gen is really annoying.
