The latest patch for Cyberpunk 2077 improves the PS5’s visuals

Patch 1.6.1, the most current update for Cyberpunk 2077, came out around a week ago, but Digital Foundry’s slackers have just now gotten around to telling us if it adds any noteworthy features for PS5. Of course, we’re joking, but the patch notes for the aforementioned upgrade to the current-gen console included something about “support for AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.1,” and we’ve been eager to hear Digital Foundry’s opinion on it.

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.1 is just a brilliant piece of technology that enables improved upscaling during gameplay, frequently improving performance. With the addition of patch 1.6.1, this method has now been included to Cyberpunk 2077 on the PS5, and it seems to affect both graphics modes differently.

FSR2 does produce a clearer image, even though the game’s native resolution doesn’t experience any appreciable improvements, especially during “still periods.” According to Digital Foundry, “FSR2 does genuinely improve image quality, whether it be in static shots, in motion, in dealing with aliasing, or even in instances of disocclusion — where objects in the foreground move, revealing previously hidden detail” Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 now looks better than ever in general thanks to this update.

Character hair and other little features are now handled better while the game streams its assets, in the meantime. They occasionally still kind of drift back into reality, but it seems to be less distracting. Overall, the visual clarity in Night City will be enhanced, which is fantastic.

According to Digital Foundry, FSR2 is a net win for all new consoles because it intelligently selects the details we want to be enhanced while also addressing image issues like ghosting on movement and flickering on hair. There is also more stability, less distraction, and a greater push for detail at range.

Has the change affected how you’ve been playing Cyberpunk 2077? Have you seen any of these upgrades? In the remarks box below, go back to Night City.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
