Was not expecting Ray tracing tbh. This is a welcome surprise.

Sonic1881826d ago

But what's the resolution and fps in Raytracing🤔

S2Killinit826d ago

Good question. I would expect an answer soon.

Neonridr826d ago

Fidelity mode said it was 30fps, so maybe this will be "targeting" 30fps with some odd dips here and there?

EvertonFC826d ago

That's why there is options for both RES/RT and performance.

Aussiesummer825d ago

What every other ps5 game is with any kind of ray tracing.

myfathersbastard825d ago

No idea but I was playing around between fidelity and fidelity RT, graphics and frame rate def take a hit. Wasn’t worth it for me. Fidelity mode looks good as is and frame rate has been rock solid so far. If it’s starts dipping later I’ll swap to performance and see how that goes. So far so good though. In fidelity def keep frame cap on. It’s all over the place without it.

Can’t wait for this game. Will be playing the 60fps mode though.

ironmonkey826d ago

Man that's awesome, is it also suppose to be online eventually? Coop wise.

DankSinatra826d ago

I seriously don’t get the need for everything to be online these days

SpacedDuck826d ago

At what expense though? If the game is already chugging at times RT will further drill it into the ground performance wise.

jznrpg826d ago (Edited 826d ago )

It’s called options . There is a performance mode for just about every PS5 game . This is for people who like the quality mode which I use most of the time except for games like Control which 60fps makes a big difference to me. Most RPGs in 30fps is fine with me and I like the detail boost . To each his own

SpacedDuck826d ago

I get it but 30FPS in 2023 on these new consoles is embarassing.

60fps should be the target with RT on period. 8K which the PS5 hilariously claims it can do should be where 30FPS is the target.

SeTTriP826d ago

Like dead space remake, it runs so smooth at 30fps that I rarely use the performance mode.same with FW.

Neonridr826d ago

well when the PS5 has a GPU equivalent somewhere between a 3060 and a 3060 Ti this was bound to happen. Can't have it all unfortunately.

GotGame818826d ago

Play in performance mode 60fps on PS5 and Series X. 30fps on those consoles with Raytracing.

boing1826d ago

Ooh! I bet rt with ligth effects from spells will look delicious.

Couldn't go 2 sentences without bringing up JK Rowling's viewpoints (which are now acknowledged and supported by the UK Supreme Court). Time for all the "progressive" whiners to latch back on to reality.

Playstation owners buy games.

Strange seeing Hogwarts there as I downloaded it for my son from PS Plus a couple of days ago.

InUrFoxHole17d ago

Playstation owners buy games? That's a wild badge of honor my boy.

Bathyj17d ago

Not really. It's directly contributed to having the healthiest console and ecosystem. Not really debatable.

The alternative is a console platform holder whose least important customers are the ones who own their console. That's why it's Microsoft games studios now not Xbox in all but name.

Microsoft needs PlayStation, PC and Nintendo players now more than they need Xbox players. They're a dying breed.

andy8517d ago

Not really. That's why Xbox is going under consoles wise. PS gamers purchase stuff that's why console and game sales are always high. Xbox gamers want games for 'free' on gamepass and to enter at the lowest price point (series s)

VenomUK17d ago

@InUrFoxHole said “Playstation owners buy games? That's a wild badge of honor my boy.”

This Tuesday after The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion was finally revealed I saw a tonne of conversation on X/Twitter of people gleefully mocking PS5 owners who said they were buying the game, as they were getting it for free with Game Pass. Yes, that’s great value for people with a Game Pass subscription - but do you still not see how it has impacted the Xbox hardware platform? It’s the reason Indiana Jones and Oblivion and Forza Horizon 5 aren’t exclusive anymore.

ravens5217d ago

InUrFoxHole, its wild that you think that's wild lmao. 🤯. You buy your food from the grocery store?? Ugggh. You should get Factor. Who pays for food anymore when you can pay a subscription to receive food for "free". Disgusting.

Sound stupid? It is.

InUrFoxHole17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

@Bathy
That's some cope there. You think the healthiest console is the one that doesn't even provide their gamers with their exclusive games? That crazy talk man. The healthiest is Nintendo and that's 💯 not even a debate. MS provides gamers with games. Sony provides you with MS games. Enjoy

@andy
You have broke brain. Gamepass isn't free. It's a sub service. Jesus n4g knows how to pick'em

andy8517d ago

@InUrFoxHole notice I put free in ' ' these? Doesn't take a genius. Every game that comes out on Xbox you'll see this comment "is this coming to gamepass".

Duplicate post

goken17d ago

2nd on the charts for a game such as Indy ain’t great.
Releasing half year after xbox version probably cooled off some demand.

This is a very good game, deserves the best chance to do well.

badz14917d ago

The real great performer here is Astrobot. keeping that rate of sales for a last year's game that is not GTAV, CoD and FIFA (now Hogwarts too). outselling MH Wilds and EA FC is kinda wild for Astrobot!

dveio17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

Hogwart's, Indiana, Astro Bot & Monster Hunter - that's a pretty nice top 4 once again.

I bet MachineGames are quite happy about the sales pouring in.
