Digital Foundry : Our first hands-on with developer From Software's next major project, as offered in a generous network test. Limgrave is open for exploration on every console platform, a daring open-world twist on the Dark Souls formula. PS5 and Xbox Series consoles offer two modes to enjoy it - quality mode and frame-rate mode - each with distinct advantages. But can either truly hit a locked 60fps? And what of playing the PS4 Pro version on PS5? Tom investigates.
A new Inographic has been revealed detailing player tendencies.
Is that looking... less tarnished?
definitely looks like it's running more stable now. Here's hoping the delay isn't too much longer for those who want to play it.

Bandai Namco and FromSoftware decided to delay Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 in order to improve the game's performance on that platform.
What a name for a title with bad performance right now. Yup Tarnished Edition is about right. They made the right choice to delay this game.
The PS5 version is in a better place right know, with higher framerates and 2x faster loading, hopefully a locked 60 by launch
From is certainly the best at this genre but they certainly make weird tech choices. Their history with bad frame pacing doesn't leave me with confidence they'll fix performance, at least not all the way.
Framerate Mode, just drop the res to 1440p. Demon's Souls was sublime like this.
Quality Mode, the heck are ya doing leaving framerate unlocked?
And this is why the conversations start about digital foundry. This is textbook. Mark Cerny said that as developers get used to PS5s unique architecture it will become apparent. They can spend less time getting things running and more time on other things like polish, content, whatever.
And here lies the issue. Digital foundry cannot accept when PS5 performs better. They are still caught in that “series X has higher teraflops so it’s supposed to do better” way of thinking. Cerny said TF are not a accurate way to look at power AND performance. It’s only theoretical power. When PS5 games have any issues or fall short it’s no explanation. No trying to figure out why. It’s just expected I guess. Series X falls short? It’s constant banter on how odd it is, peculiar, must be a glitch, and so forth. Maybe Cerny was right. Nawwww…. Can’t be.
Ps5 is the way to go out of all platforms for this game. By launch should have excellent performance loading and visuals with only a £359 asking price...
They have their work cut out on all platforms it would appear. 40-50 fps in performance mode…
Ironic that the only way to get a locked 60 is to play the PS4 version in back compat mode on a PS5.
