The Gandalf one is pretty damn accurate, none the less all those characters are pretty good.

XBLSkull3464d ago

Lol at "effortlessly" though, I'm sure quite a bit of time went into these...

ravinash3464d ago

Yeah, I remember playing round with each setting for ages just trying to figure out what was changing with each stroller.
It's impressive the results some people can get.

Vampire Hunter D recration is anything but D

Blank3464d ago (Edited 3464d ago )

I really like the Alucard one I might even make a character with a face like that because by the way Konami has been acting this will have to cover that hole to play as Alucard on current gen hardware : ( bright side is im pretending while playing Bloodborne : )

Snookies123464d ago

I was interested until I saw that there were multiple pages for something that could have fit on two at the most.

FromSoftware's Influence is Hurting the Action Genre

Since the meteoric rise of FromSoftware, their patented gameplay has significantly influenced the action genre - perhaps to its detriment.

Right.

And no one told others to follow From Soft.

Stay in your lanes, imitators.

CrimsonWing695d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Souls-likes are its own genre, in my eyes.

It has no bearing on games like Spider-Man, God of War, Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, hell any Platinums game and whatever other action games coming out.

It’s a successful formula, there’s an audience who enjoys the games, it’s relatively a new genre in comparison to its contemporaries, so it makes sense that devs are making them.

What I think the author is really trying to say is they personally don’t enjoy all the souls-like games they see releasing and want to blame From Soft for making that a successful genre.

They ignore all the other action games that released or are releasing like, Wolverine, for example.

fsfsxii5d ago

Lmao how tf? Its developers who are so afraid of branching that are hurting the action genre.

Pedrof5d ago

FromSoftware is only responsible for their own work, not other developers'.

infernus666_5d ago

Stupid take, what do you even want? Fromsoftware to just stop making games? They're only responsible for their own releases and I personally hope they never stop.

Bloodborne's Level Design May Be the Antithesis of Elden Ring's

Though nearly a decade old, Bloodborne's spectacular level design seems the flip side of the same coin as Elden Ring's own stunning visuals.

Sadly... no bloodborne on that list. I feel it may never be.

darthv7213d ago

Reading more about PS5 Pro Game Boost... it wasn't what I initially thought it was. I was thinking it would be like FPS Boost but it is specifically for resolution, not performance.

"PS5 Pro Game Boost Explained

Like the PS4 Pro, the PS5 Pro will also include a "Game Boost" mode that retroactively enhances older games on the console. This applies to PS4 games as well, utilizing PSSR upscaling to boost image quality. PS5 Pro's Game Boost will apply to more than 8,500 backward-compatible PS4 games on the console, improving their resolution. The feature will also apply to PS VR2 games, as revealed in CNET's hands-on preview of the console."

MrNinosan13d ago

But the blog writes:

"Other enhancements include PS5 Pro Game Boost, which can apply to more than 8,500 backward compatible PS4 games playable on PS5 Pro. This feature may stabilize or improve the performance of supported PS4 and PS5 games."

Stabilize or improve the performance is what I read as framerates?

Profchaos13d ago

Boost modes can not break a frame rate cap something like bloodborne van be brute forced to maintain 30fps but never go above.

Best example of this is fallout 4 on PS4 when it's boost mode was enabled on the pro the game ran much better and maintained its 30 cap whereas before it would stutter and struggle.

darthv7213d ago

^^ "supported" being the key word. So things would be status quo as they are for performance but resolution improvements looks to be across the board.

Cacabunga12d ago

PS4 Pro was promoting the not yet released heavy hitter games at that time, like God of War, Horizon, Days Gone and of course improving VR quality experience. It just made sense..

PS5pro is flexing using last gen titles. Absolute joke.
First time ever a Sony console is an easy pass for me.

fr0sty12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

PSSR can upscale both frame rate and resolution. Being that PSSR works on the game after the engine renders the image, there is no reason why it couldn't generate extra frames as well as more pixels before sending it to the display.

They have to sell u a remaster first, and then a remake.

neutralgamer199213d ago

Did I read this right that some of the partners will release free updates so others might charge for it? This level of greed is getting absurd. Many games got paid next generation update so I guess now that’s a thing

northpaws13d ago

I think it was the same for PS4 Pro.

darthv7213d ago

I dont recall paying anything for an upgrade on the PS4 Pro. On PS5 I did buy into the Spider-man upgrade as well as Ghosts of Tsushima.

Tacoboto13d ago

There was never a PS4 Pro-Enhanced Premium Upgrade.

jznrpg13d ago

You make an assumption then get upset about the assumption. Just wait and see. So many people get upset so easily. Life is short try to enjoy it

neutralgamer199213d ago

No assumptions since Sony themselves said some partners meaning not all will release free updates. And we have already seen next generation updates cost money coming from PS4 to PS5

Yes you are right we should enjoy our hobby and I am not upset. Just really tired of all the greed that has entered this industry over the past 10-15 years. Just look at sports titles which have become mini casinos with all the micro transactions

Inverno13d ago

Gotta pay 10 bucks to enhance the 10 bucks you paid to enhance the 60 bucks you paid for a PS4 game. Whatchu wanna bet that this will lead up to a new 80 dollar price standard? Im almost entirely sure that GTA will be the game to set the higher price standard.

neutralgamer199213d ago

Oh yes that’s coming. You are being in the low end with $80. GTA6 could be the first game to do $99.99. Sell less make more. With budgets for games going to in 100’s of millions we will see the cost go higher. That’s just the sad reality. Way too many suits got involved with our hobby and realized this industry was making billions more than any other entertainment industry. And now it’s all about spreadsheets

Christopher13d ago

They can't dictate if they charge for it or not, sadly.

neutralgamer199213d ago

That’s true and whatever they know they charge for and get away with they will. This isn’t just about PlayStation that’s gaming in general

crazyCoconuts13d ago

@neutral - companies selling things to consumers that are willing to pay for them... Goes beyond gaming even

northpaws12d ago

Even if it is true, Sony has no right to dictate whether a third party would provide a update for free or not.

outsider162412d ago

Rdr2 comes to mind. So far Rockstar also hasn't releasedany 60fps patch. Are they gonna charge u for it i wonder?

rob-GP12d ago

I highly doubt you heard this, because its simply not true.

*If* you read or heard anything, it will have just been "some partners will release free updates that enable PS5 enhancements..." that's it. Then, you fabricated that if it's not free then it's a paid upgrade, when in reality they mean some will release patches and some won't - the same as last gen.

Retroman13d ago

In my personal opinion
I see NOOOOOOOOOO difference in graphics comparing it to regular PS5 graphics...I'll pass until PS6

jwillj2k413d ago

Thats because youre watching a 1080p compressed video curtesy of youtube.

TheKingKratos12d ago

I watched in 4k and didn't see shit .. Even in their own video they needed to 200% zoom in to notice something different in a Fking Draw distance lmao 😂😂
Only for 700

Neonridr12d ago

frame rate aside, you aren't really going to see much visual improvements. Unless you are like Mark going nuts because the foliage in the distance is a little more rendered.

Eidolon12d ago

I think they compared games, with PSSR that looked better and ran at 60fps vs 30fps on base PS5.

jwillj2k412d ago

@ TheKingKratos

The video was streamed at 1080p by sony. Doesnt matter what the youtube settings are.

sagapo12d ago

It’s a bit dumb by Sony to go into detail on gfx differences and stream the whole thing at 1080p don’t you think?
But I’m sure sites like DF will come with proper videos for that.

Juiceup12d ago

The only difference that will sell me is 60+ frame rate. If lots of new games will release running 60fr close to or equal to Fidelity mode like they are saying, it's probably worth it to me. But I detected a lot of 'business speak' bs in that 8 minute video. I honestly care very little about what it can do for games I've already played my fill of.

victorMaje13d ago

ZERO.
The number of physical games I own that are enhanced.

DiRtY12d ago

I didn’t watch the reveal, but expected ~100 games on that list. There are only 14 titles?

WTH were they thinking?

Zeke6812d ago

They said at least 50 titles at release in November, still not a huge number but a little better...

Zeke6811d ago

For the downvoter, troll your way over to Cnet and see what Sony said to them. ;)

EazyC12d ago

Perhaps a slower than anticipated long term release schedule forced them into playing their hardware hand
