Just a fyi fans of the series remade the pc version with 60fps cut scenes no shutter and no bloated AAA budget

All free amazing work once again fans can do more stuff than what the ip holder can do with paid workers.

Not to say these fans did not get paid but you should know what i mean

Einhander1972578d ago

Yea.... no thanks.

I will play it on my PS5 Pro and support the developers so they can keep making games and the industry stays alive and healthy.

burd_persin578d ago

Wow, that's a really cool story.

I bet you don’t play any old games anyway… lol

Einhander1972577d ago

lucasnooker

What does that even mean?!?

I played "retro" games when they were new...

And I still replay some of my favorites from time to time, but the fact is time is always moving forward and I don't even have enough time to play all the new games I want.

The 60fps mod breaks an animation at the beginning where James is leaning on the railing as it transitions to gameplay.

BlaqMagiq1578d ago

No thanks. I'll play the amazing remake.

@Einhander1972'

Man you are so out there must be high all the time there are so many examples of games making alot of money but still get mass layoffs or the entire team laid off.

Not 2 years ago it was shown how activision hired entire q a teams for cod games when the game was done contract over you all are fired then all those layoffs after even though billions were made.

But you think sales=job security wow that is delusional.

@ANIALATOR136

This was done by fans that made the cutscens have better framrate than this official version they had 0 source code 0 support from official sources.

But yeah everyone go support the official version that cost $60 that has worse framerates shuttering and they DEi changed the character models.

Man humanity future is bleak.

Einhander1972577d ago

Are you seriously trying to imply that somehow not buying games is the solution to well... anything at all...

Plus, this has nothing to do with Activision.

Stuttering idk why has just always been such a problem on so many games on pc especially UE games. Many devs really just don't care enough unfortunately.

just_looken578d ago

So true its because so many love to support fsr/dlss/xess/pssr tech that allows them to toss out unoptimized trash.

Einhander1972578d ago

This has nothing to do with upscaling, it's a problem with UE5.

--->Another Unreal Engine 5 game<--- blighted by stutter

And obviously unoptimized games existed before upscaling.

Eonjay577d ago

If you listen to the commentary, it looks like there is a timing issue in UE5. Although they did heavily hint that there might be a problem in Windows, they also noted thar a similar issue seems to be on PS5 as well. So clearly there is a UE5 issue at large..

CrimsonIdol577d ago

Seems like delta time is broken. As he mentioned delta time is always a little problematic but it should NOT be reporting time like this when the frame rate is perfectly smooth and evenly paced in reality. Fantastic discovery tbh and hopefully results in some progress fixing this moving forward. I'm going to try this fixed rate 30fps little hack myself. As I don't mind 30fps if it's delivered smoothly.

Agent75578d ago

I mean, it still looks like it plays drab. I wouldn't bother if you played it on the PlayStation 2, otherwise, wait until it's discounted or pick it up cheap used.

TheKingKratos578d ago

This engine is a mistake... And should have been worked on before release as it effects both Pc and Consoles as well and developers are yet to master it

Cockney578d ago

An honest question: are there any Sony 1st party studios using ue5?
I hope not but maybe Sony bend again, we'll see

lukasmain577d ago

I'm pretty sure Bend will be using it. They used Unreal for Days Gone afterall

MrBaskerville577d ago

Pretty sure Neonkoi is using UE5, but they might be doing a mobile game. Not really sure what their deal is.

Oh mah gawd say it ain’t so, say it ain’t so!

merlox173d ago

I didn’t have any issues playing SH2 on my PS5 pro.

got_dam173d ago (Edited 173d ago )

Well, the Xbox series X is not a bad machine at all. Its everything surrounding it from the support to the marketing that is garbage. Its too bad, because sony has shown themselves to be quite anticonsumer when they dont have real competition. Unfortunately Microsoft shits on their own balls every 5 minutes. Nintendo plays their own game so is not real competition. Maybe the steam machines will keep Sony on their toes, but I doubt it. Again, thats a different target audience.

Reaper22_173d ago

The next gen xbox will be more than enough competition . All Sony did this gen was sell more consoles which was gonna happen regardless. The support, features and games are unmatched imo. Ps5 and ps5 pro still dont have features the series x has had since launch. As far as support i disagree. It has massive support and Microsoft games output has been superior this gen. But hey, I'm biased because I prefer the xbox. Just as you are biased for playstation.

pwnmaster3000172d ago

Xbox is competition?🤣🤣 🤣🤣
It’s over man.
It’s PlayStation, steam machine and Nintendo.

Bye Xbox it was fun but steam machine is here to replace you

Hypertension140172d ago (Edited 172d ago )

The dualsense? VR? Better and cheaper storage options?

You make it sound like the Xbox can do everything better, even the features that it doesn't have. To me, the dualsense is the most next gen feature about the current gen consoles. Quick resume is cool but it only saves you a few seconds while the dualsense makes entire games more immersive.

Better game output? You mean the multiplatform studios they acquired because nobody gives a shit about their original IPs anymore? Its not like it matters anyway, Xbox no longer has any exclusives.

D2niceforu172d ago

@pwnmaster3000

Lol steam machine is not gonna sell.

Chevalier172d ago

All Sony did all generation was dominated Xbox. You can be a biased idiot, but, facts are facts. Playstation had more of everything overall, VR, more variety of games, better exclusives and controller too

Krablante172d ago

“ Ps5 and ps5 pro still dont have features the series x has had since launch.“ your human brain is not very switched on 🤷🏻I can smell a jealous little bitch from a mile away

Sony Sony Sony. Crybaby. Anyone with half a brain cell knows why you swiping PlayStation. Nintendo and Microsoft have shown to be far more anti consumer than Sony. Could you be any more of a dense tool?

Reaper22_172d ago

I disagree with the "far more". All of them have the same goal and they aren't perfect. They all do things that piss off the consumer.

Reaper22_173d ago (Edited 173d ago )

Go xbox!🤘

CrimsonWing69173d ago

Wasn’t the Series X more powerful than the base PS5? It’s not a real shocker.
