Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Summary:
- Not a full native version, it is an enhanced BC patch.
- DF talk about how the game still holds up well visually and in terms of features while pointing out some last-gen aspects that stand out now.
- Series X: Very hard to drop from 60 FPS. Single frame drops in some combat areas.
- Series S is shows none of the one-off drops seen on Series X.
- PS5 is the same with no observable drops seen.
- DF encountered one bug where the game performance on SX started fluctuating wildly with nothing happening, but it resolved itself in a few seconds.
- SX and PS5 have very similar image quality with what looks like a new temporal up-sampling method added with this patch. They both resolve very cleanly. Series S looks notably sharper than its One S counterpart.
- They both run the same pixel counts as One X / PS4 Pro resolutions, while Series S has had a resolution increase over the One S code-base.
- SX: 2160p, PS5: 1620p, SS: Full 1080p (increase over One S's 1440x1080)
- DF talk about the old FPS boost patch, which is redundant now. The new enhanced BC patch smooths out any one-off drops int he FPS boost patch.

Temporal upsampling for the PS5 (well Pro) version. It's not a sharpening filter. It seems some kind of reconstruction technique. I guess we'll know more with others analysis (if anyone else does one). Visually it's really close to the XSX version so it seems the technique is quite good.

Thanks, will fix the sharpening to up-sampling.

How does 1620p look exactly the same as 4K here? Apply this to every Ubi game

Worth noting the game is on both Game Pass and PS+ and the game's Vietnam themed Hours of Darkness DLC is currently free for game pass members as a perk.
So, give it a shot. I quite enjoyed this game last time I played it.

I think the world and the map are better than part 4. Never finished 6, because by the time I got to it, I was tired of the formula. So, I guess it's the best Farcy since 3. I just wish it had more guts politically - tips its toes into the waters but never does anything interesting with it.
1620p is a quite high base for temporal upsampling, so with a good implementation it should look pretty close. DLSS for example even for quality mode uses "only" 1440p base. Not comparing because DLSS is obviously more advanced, but still my point stands.

I dont care about UBI games but got to say it’s good to see them support 60 fps patches.

Played a bit of this last night on Series X and it looks fantastic. Really holds up well.

Yep, they were one of the first with the Odyssey 60 FPS patch. Their games really shine with 60 FPS boosts even if a few years old.

I've put in over 20 hours on the patch on series x.
Findings of my own.
Game still tanks framerate hard but very occasionally.
Some textures are ps2 level
If you lose internet connectivity (such as using quick resume) the game runs single framerate until it reconnects
Had a weird bug where upon entering a cutscene the game reverted back to 30 fps and stayed that way until I hard quit and relaunched the game
MASSIVE LOD pop in is very distracting
Still loving it though.

We'll be the judge of that. No need for you to assume you can decide for us. We're individuals. Now piss the shit off.

Ubisoft needed this because they literally have nothing else going on at the moment.
Their 2023 slate is a wasteland.
why are u angry and fuming over a comment its as if uve accidentaly sat on a dildo

The biggest feature this update enhances is the map editor. I already made a little Far Cry 2 styled demo in a few hours. Everything is just so much smoother while building levels now which in turn makes building levels faster.
