I get it. There were people who were against it I guess but from what I recall it was just a matter of wanting developers to keep frame rates optimal without it and not use it as a crutch. I don’t know how often the conversation went to the added benefits that Insomniac is doing. But I guarantee more posters used it as ammunition for console warring. Especially in the head to heads when the PS5 version had similar resolutions and better performance but wasn’t completely locked.

I don't recall a single person "bashing" the feature.
The only argument I saw, and that I believe I also made, was that it was not a "game changing" feature that would lift a crappy game into a great one, as one side was touting for so long.
The funny thing about this is, it's not a Sony/Xbox thing. This was available on PC, and I saw it and experienced it when it launched nearly ten years ago in 2013 when it was called Nvidia G-sync. I had the same reaction then. "Hey that's nice." And then I didn't give it a second thought because it means absolutely nothing to content.
This is simply a straw man argument, and it seems like people who were trying to use it as a weapon in console warring are pissed off that it's off the table, and the Sony only people are just nonplussed as expected. Because it's a nice to have, and simply nothing more.
I don't use it on my PS5 or XSX on my tv because the trade offs make the games look worse overall. Even Elden Ring. Games that are already technically good, just don't see much tangible benefit.
The coolest thing we've learned after this was enabled on PS5, is just how much overhead exists when running the Insomniac games. Clearly we are going to see some great looking stuff in the coming years. But other than that, this is a topic that can basically die on this board. You like the feature, you run it. You don't have a tv that supports it or the trade offs are too much, you don't. And the games, when you get right down to it, are exactly the same.
Btw, may I ask you about ... on second thought, never mind.
So, moving on.

You have to thank Microsoft for this coming to PS5 and them patching games to make the implementation better.

This video should clear up some of the VRR range discussions that have taken place:
The 48-120hz thing only applies for unsupported games.
You would think that Alex would have a better TV considering how much he likes to talk about cutting edge tech but alas...

Car guys understand this.
But these comments are hilarious,

Wow, I knew the reactions would be funny but I underestimated them. They can't even keep up the act anymore.
Unlimited salt over PS5 getting VRR... a feature that was already announced years ago. Wild astroturfing being exposed.

Your mistake is thinking they are professionals.
I'm sorry, but if someone is a respected professional in the tech industry then they are not rocking a NU 8000 in 2022 as their main display.

Tom Warren seems to be on the payroll. Alex not as bad but mostly the same.

Probably money. Like Heisenberg already proved here (including receipts verified by moderators), MS already tried to bribe Digital Foundry people before. It's either money or fanboyism. Or both.
Buying influencers is very cheap for MS. We're talking about a $2 trillion market cap corporation, one of the richest corporations ever.

Well, I see a lot of Sony fanboys on Twitter. Maybe some of them are paid shills too. It's hard to know for sure.

Wait, you guys are getting paid? All I got was a free copy of Knack 2.

As the defacto market leader, paying for shills is probably something Sony don't need to do.
There's no narrative that needs changing and they don't really need fud spreading about other consoles.

If I was paid I wouldn't post what I just posted about potential Sony shills.
I'm definitely in the blue team, but I also play on PC and Meta Quest 2. I'm more a fan than a fanboy.

We get A90J TV's while Microsoft is leaving these guys high and dry with their NU 8000s.

If any MS representative is reading this feel free to contact me. I'm just going to request some controlled leaks to get some clout first. You would get your moneys worth in no time.

So true, who doesn't need money ? If possible, I'd prefer shilling for Sony though, I just feel it fits me a bit more somehow.

Sony will ask you for money to shill for them. $70 per game, plus a $500 fee to get you started.

I was thinking last night how really great of a movie Blade Runner is, and I think it's under estimated even by people who say they are "fans." The idea of how important our memories are to us, and how we feel they make us who we are in a lot of ways. The inevitability of death. How when we die those memories, our thoughts and experiences, the things we hold most dear to us (and for me that includes experiences of some video games as a child), simply vanish into the ether. Now think of the scale to which this happens on a daily basis. Combinhat with the groundbreaking visuals, the all time classic score by Vangelis, who is also one of my favorite musicians in general ... Just a complete "lightning in a bottle" classic. In fact, I think I'll put my copy of the full "from the movie" soundtrack. Right as soon as Skyrim finishes here.
It also made me think of how damn pointless the sequel was, and even though it looked nice, it in no way followed the tone or spirit of the original. A completely plot-driven piece of entertainment, with no "ideas" whatsoever. It shouldn't have been made.
I know you did it awhile ago, but I am also glad you picked a great avatar to match your name, and are no longer that big purple D (that sounds like a health condition).
Also the VRR update is fine.

Yes, I'm that close to apologizing to Riky, which would probably make me puke.
Elden Ring PS5 looks transformed, and it's great on Spiderman too (although Spiderman was already running great before).
Still, remember only a tiny fraction of players have VRR screens (so more than 80 % of people probably don't benefit from VRR), and tons of games don't really gain a lot because they're already very smooth and locked 60.

There was a bug on PS store back in september 2017 which allowed some of us to get Knack 2 for free.

It's meant I can go back to 120hz on Dirt 5 as it was unstable before, it's a lot better now.

It's still unstable, you just don't discern it as much.

Not at all in fact, all the juddering is gone, makes it so much better, it's a great update.
Spiderman Remastered too, getting that fidelity mode at 40fps+ is a massive improvement.

The framerate is still unstable is what I meant.

Yeah I can see my VRR counter moving around, but can't see it on screen due to the massive decrease in frametimes going to 120hz. It's great.
