DF Weekly: FSR 3 frame generation comes to consoles - and we've tested it

Proof of concept for a promising new technology.

I did note that the Xbox frame-gen implementation is not perfect. There appear to be intermediate freezing issues when there's a camera cut during cinematics, but while a bit annoying, it does not intrude on gameplay (a quick look at PS5 doesn't see this issue manifest)

Xbox Can’t catch a break recently

Obscure_Observer60d ago

"I did note that the Xbox frame-gen implementation is not perfect."

Grasping at straws I see.

In the video John literally says that FSR 3´s implementation on Xbox Series X is far better than the PC version on release, and they are very impressed with the results. Especially considering that they didn´t even expect such performance to be possible achieved from 30fps. Not even AMD itself recommends 30fps for frame generation.

And... perfect? It´s not perfect even on PC to this day, so I´m no sure what you mean by that.

Maybe it´s perfect on PS5, I don´t know. It would be nice if you post the source of the analysis video of the PS5 version you saw to back up your claims.

"Xbox Can’t catch a break recently"

Don´t worry about the Xbox. There´ll be PLENTY of upcoming first party games to take advantage of FSR 3 in the coming months and years.

Indiana Jones, Avowed, Fable, Shattered Space (Starfield), Gears of War 6, Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3 and many many more.

Also, I´m expecting a FSR 3 update for Hellblade II rather sooner than later.

Great times ahead.

"It would be nice if you post the source of the analysis video of the PS5 version you saw to back up your claims.'

no I just quoted from the very article we are commenting on, these were digital foundry's words, saying xbox isn't perfect, but on the ps5 version, it doesn't see the issue manifest.

Tacoboto58d ago

Console warring over a framerate pause during non-interactive content in a first-of-its-kind implementation in a game no one gave a crap about when it released 9-10 months ago.

Gotta love N4G.

PassNextquestion58d ago

I watched the DF video and they hadn't even tested the PS5 version yet. They tested the Xbox version is it was available first.

Maybe theres a different video..

StormSnooper58d ago

@Tocoboto
You see that top comment? “Game changer finally!”
That is an attempt to pretend that this is Xbox only and that it’s a new thing.

So I just hope you are aware of that when you put the blame on purple101.

Tacoboto57d ago

@Storm

... That statement doesn't imply anything about Xbox exclusivity. It is a game changer - AMD's recommendation for frame gen is a 60fps base but this game is below that yet apparently feels great.

You thinking it's about Xbox does tells me that you're obsessing over Obscure (lots of people do here). I also don't blame purple... Or anyone. There's no blame, I'm remarking on the exchange.

"Don´t worry about the Xbox. There´ll be PLENTY of upcoming first party games to take advantage of FSR 3 in the coming months and years."

We're not worried about xbox, but you should be.

"Indiana Jones, Avowed, Fable, Shattered Space (Starfield), Gears of War 6, Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3 and many many more."

They'll all run better on PlayStation 5 Pro.

Frame gen isn't going to save xbox,

It's funny though WCCFL and DF both tried to say that frame gen wasn't going to work or was going to be slower than on xbox because it didn't have DX, I said it will just use the PlayStation equivalent feature.

I was right, and not only that it works better on PlayStation, just like FSR 2 does.

Eonjay58d ago

Its promising tech and what's even more funny is that it was DF that was saying it wouldn't work. If fact they were pretty emphatic about it. What's stupid about their claims is that consoles are just specialized PCs. Now imagine if they combine this with a different upscaler like TSR or the upcoming PSSR.

jznrpg58d ago

DF act like they know as much as the engineers that work on this software but they are not even close to as knowledgeable they only have tools that give them numbers and then they act like they are experts.

Luc2057d ago

That's right and they're biased. I've stopped watching their analysis long ago.

dumahim58d ago

I'd think there's a chance PSSR and frame-gen could yield better upgrade performance for PS5 Pro than PS4 Pro did if this is how well it's going to be working on consoles. I'm curious about input latency though.

DustMan57d ago

I know this a console thread. I just have to say is that AMD basically just gave Nvidia a giant FU. Being able to mod in frame generation on Nvidia cards is ridiculously easy, and basically just extended the life of many peoples 20 & 30 series cards that won't get native frame gen support from Nvidia for a couple years. The results have been ridiculous in all I've tested. Cyberpunk runs at high settings with full rtx and stays in the 90fps range. Starfield in the 100's in the populated areas, and Witcher 3 with full rtx runs incredibly well. Couldn't be freaking happier.

This game is actually way more charming than it had any right to be. I genuinely like the character interactions and conversations as they feel rather authentic to me.

DivineHand125115d ago

This is great. I will give this game a try when the update is live.

Elda115d ago

I bought Immotals Of Aveum & had a great time playing the game.

Psychonaut85115d ago

Nice! I think this game kinda fell into the The Order trap, styled over substance, but it’s by no means a bad game. I started it, I will probably wait til these improvements drop to continue. Not sure how much good being on PS Plus will do the devs, but hopefully this brings some more eyes to their work for the future, cuz there’s a lot of talent there.

ill be trying Immortals of Aveum since i have been waiting for it to be very cheap since i heard its not a very good game.

thesoftware730121d ago

It's a good game, and a couple of weeks ago, it was on sale for about $8.

I am enjoying it.

Christopher121d ago

It's an okay mediocre shooter-style game with typical RPG bloat. It dragged on way longer than it should have, though. If you're not looking to play only 'the best' it will definitely be enjoyable.

thesoftware730121d ago

I agree, not the best, not the worst.

I did really enjoy the acting, and the spell effects, and the nice graphics. It was also kinda cool so have some much effects popping while still controlling like a standard FPS.

VenomUK120d ago

Minecraft Legends? Now a first party Xbox game that is free to Game Pass subscribers will be free to PS Plus subscribers.

It makes me wonder if Microsoft could do this again in the future with other non high profile games.

Soy121d ago

It falls in that "I don't regret playing it, it was fine" category. It got the basics right at least. Just nothing all that memorable.

jznrpg121d ago

Wanted to play the Immortals of Aveum but I didn’t want to pay much for it so I’ve waited .
I’ll check it out on plus if I actually like it I’ll buy a physical copy sometime. Never heard of Skul I’ll try that as well. Minecraft Legends is crappy my kids played it for a little bit but gave up on it fairly quick. MS can’t even please little kids that’s how bad they are with most games.

thesoftware730121d ago

Stop lying. You won't buy a copy of Immortals. They have had a long demo out for this game for a very long time, since launch or close after I believe, and the game has gone on sale many, many times, not to mention all the videos and walkthroughs you could have used to gauge if it was your cup of tea.

It comes with a service that you are already paying for, and it's a good game, not stellar, but just good, and you wanna claim you gonna go buy it physically? I call BS; you are attempting to cover your GamePass-hating propaganda, but at the same time, feel self-conscious about loving the same shit on PS+..so your front, "I'm gonna go buy this physical," lol.

I just bought it a few weeks ago for $8...I was waiting for a good sale or for it to come to one of the 2 sub-services I pay for to play it.

isarai121d ago

There is no PS5 demo, wtf are you talking about?

Crows90121d ago

Stop passing judgement on what you clearly don't know

thesoftware730121d ago

@Isarai,
No, wtf are you talking about?

"First-person "magic shooter" Immortals of Aveum is free to try courtesy of an all-new demo.

The free trial is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and gives you a chance to sample the opening three chapters for yourself."

https://www.eurogamer.net/t...

@ Crows,
What are you talking about? Passing judgment? Not really, calling out hypocrisy.

I just told you what I know, and I know that comment he made was full of ish. I'm not quite sure what you are claiming I don't know...but ok, be vague, and make an asinine comment about passing judgment.

redknight80120d ago

Yeah, lol - who in the bloody hell would buy a physical copy of a so-so game they were so hugely on the fence with when it comes out completely free to play. I suppose if they do REALLY fall in love with it then sure, one could buy a physical copy but yeah, I just also find that unlikely when you get the full game to play for free unless they are the type of person to start and stop services like this often and for extended periods.

@theaoftware730

Oh please, like how many people were going to spot the article from months ago that informs you to make an EA Access account, download the app, generate a voucher code, THEN redeem it on PSN. Get real dude

thesoftware730120d ago (Edited 120d ago )

Huh? what?

It wasn't one article; it was advertised in many places, including storefronts. I just pulled this one to give a source; are you okay?
Wow, man, I'm not even going to respond to the rest of that junk you typed because it makes no sense. Just say you were wrong and move on; you are making yourself look silly. It went from no demo, to some mumbo jumbo speak that you attempted. It's okay; we all are wrong sometimes, move on.

poppatron121d ago

Great month! Buzzing to try immortals, would never of paid money for it but have always watched from sidelines knowing there’s a chance I may really like it!

thesoftware730121d ago (Edited 121d ago )

Yeah, I felt a similar way, after I played the free trial/demo I thought it had some fun mechanics.

It had a fair amount of sales on it, and once I saw $8 I jumped on it. So far it's been fun, a cool amount of customization, ok story, really good acting and graphics.

It will take a bit of time to get use to the light show when in combat, but once you do, it's nice to look at. The controls play like a standard FPS, but the spells, and effects give it a different feel.

ReignMan_27121d ago

Had a feeling Immortals of Aveum was going to come to Plus when I bought the Digital Deluxe Edition for $20 a couple weeks ago. Need to start listening to my gut more.

Relientk77121d ago (Edited 121d ago )

I actually wanted to give Immortals of Aveum a shot, but for really cheap or preferably free. I think the game launched at $70, yikes lol

blackblades121d ago

Apparently as soon as I ended my sub thats when they have games I wanna try 😆

darthv72121d ago

...you didn't download the demo?

Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield buried us, Immortals of Aveum dev says

Immortals of Aveum may have been better received if it wasn’t drowned out by Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3, according to the studio’s founder.

I mean, yea, better games bury sh*tty games... better luck tomorrow.

goldwyncq149d ago

Horizon and its sequel are good examples of being on the receiving end of that.

TripleAAARating149d ago

except "Horizon and its sequel" are exceptionally well made games, nice try wirh the surreptitious comment.

andy85148d ago

I mean Horizon 1 was one of the highest rated games of the year and has sold 25 million. Wouldn't really call it a sh*try game and buried.

isarai149d ago

You're game didn't stand out, interesting concept with the most generic execution.

-Foxtrot149d ago

Guys blaming everything but the actual game looking generic and being average

Lightning77149d ago

Yet didn't think twice to delay it? Who's fault is that?

Tacoboto149d ago

I'd wonder how the relationship with EA worked. EA did sacrifice Titanfall 2 in a similar way.

Horrible decision making regardless of what party decided it though.

Crows90149d ago

Srarfield barely buried anything...it buried itself but baldurs gate....yeah that buried everything

Barlos148d ago

Shhhh. You know comments like that will attract Obscure Observer like a fly is attracted to shit.

Actually now that I think about it that's quite an accurate analogy 😂
