This has a image comparison slider on images so small and low res that you might as well of put up images comparing Demon's souls and a sandwich.

Babadook71629d ago

Yikes, you're right. My opinion is 60 fps is the way to go.

RememberThe3571629d ago (Edited 1629d ago )

That's what one of the guys at BluPoint told DF. Said the gameplay just feels so much better and the graphics are still incredible.

PrimeVinister1629d ago

Eeeek, you are right. It should be fixed now though and thanks for pointing it out..

MrDead1629d ago

Looks like no matter what mode you play in you're in for a treat, they really refined both settings. Ultra eye candy at 30fps or mega eye candy at 60fps.

PrimeVinister1629d ago

Oh, totally agree. Both modes are amongst the most glorious visual experiences I have ever had. Games are starting to show the 9th gen potential and despite the lack of ray-tracing this is probably the best show for new hardware.

AriesBear1629d ago

4k looks sharper obviously. I didn't know that the 60 frames was choppy at times I'm sure a patch will come out soon to fix that. You can really see the sharpness in the walls and rooftops in cinematic mode

VJGenova1629d ago

I turned on cinematic mode in the Nexus and it felt more like 15 fps than 30 fps. Also, even in performance mode, certain areas (3-1) for example, appear to run at a lower frame rate. The game looks great in performance mode and overall runs much better than it's ps3 counterpart, so I am quite happy.

Hedstrom1629d ago

According to Digital foundry its super solid in both mode!

masterfox1629d ago

if you nitpick you can find some differences, in other words I will be playing this on Performance mode!, yeah I still don't have my PS5, yet today arrived my PSVR adapter for the PS5 I'm so happy!!! lol XD

Demon's Souls isn't Soulslike. It's the original Souls game. WTF? And Elden Ring?

Another Crab's Treasure simply is not.

All the journos claiming things are "Soulslike" simply don't know what that word means.

GeeEssEff83d ago

The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.

Cacabunga83d ago

Reminds me of Doom like back in the days for every FPS game

blackblades83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

Yeah, souls, souls lite, souls like same goes for rogue.

anast82d ago

It's either AI or the writer doesn't know the subject matter.

robtion83d ago

I've played all of these bar the Crab one so not a very accurate title.

Goodguy0183d ago (Edited 83d ago )

Nioh 1+2 imo are the best souls clone. Love the melee combat and ki system, really hoping team ninja doesn't abandon the IP and continue with a new title, hell just give us your take on the western fantasy setting for a new nioh game.

robtion82d ago

Yes Nioh 2 in particular is great. Also Wo Long (which is basically Nioh 3).

qalpha82d ago

Should have included 'Lies of P'. Seriously fun game.

Nacho_Z82d ago

That's what I was going to say, great game. Best non From Soulslike I've played.

I see absolutely no difference with base performance mode..

MrWood177d ago

Well yeah it tells you the difference— 1440p vs 4k for 60fps. You have to watch the video in 4k to see the difference.

dantesparda178d ago (Edited 178d ago )

Wukong actually performs worst in performance mode, wtf!

And wheres the damn update for this game. They're still more work to be done.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH178d ago

I saw Zero noticeable difference when I played it on Pro. The only game I’ve seen significant difference in is FF7RB but now I get these stutters after the Pro update. I can safely say that if you don’t have a PS5 then getting the Pro is a no brainer but upgrading from PS5 to Pro is not a wise move as of now. Wait for better new games.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH177d ago

So you’re telling me that I DONT have a PS5 Pro and you’re telling me that I DONT have Demon’s Souls and you’re telling me that I DID in fact see a different in a game that according to you I don’t have? Im assuming you’re one of the lucky few who owns a Pro saw a major Difference in Demon’s Souls right?

This list has nine games....

And if these are the "hardest", that's a bit alarming because I'm pretty average and I've managed to 100% more than a third of this list (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Hard Corps Uprising, and Catherine).
