Black Myth: Wu Kong

Yeah tbh I’ve always used Google to search for old threads, well before the recent change - just makes life that bit easier!

Hopefully the ongoing work will improve internal search though.

Reviews for this seem generally positive, though with a few mixed opinions out there too. Definitely sounds like the stuff outside the boss fights isn't great.

Apparently there was no PS5 code sent out to reviewers, only PC (where it's supposedly quite heavy). So definitely sounds like it'd be a good idea to hold off until release to see how the performance there is.

Unsurprising given the secrecy around the console launch, but Digital Foundry says the performance on PS5 is a mess.

There’s a solid 60 FPS mode, but it’s using frame gen from 30, so the latency is apparently really bad and doesn’t feel like 60. Which is a real killer for a fast-paced action game.

Image quality isn’t the worst other than the FSR movement breakup, though it is naturally a downgrade from PC in a few regards. Definitely a PC game if it’s an option.

Yeah supposedly it actually feels worse than playing at 30 FPS because you have additional latency due to the frame generation process.

Sounds like 120hz support and a 40 FPS mode would go a long way to addressing some of these issues for anyone with 120hz compatible tvs. But lots of work to be done for 60hz displays too, including a 30 FPS mode with a properly implemented frame cap.
