The folks over at Digital Foundry have once again done one of their famous frame rate tests – this time for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Keep in mind, of course, that this is not the final build of the game
Frame generation technology has arrived on consoles, amplifying frame-rates and potentially transforming experiences.
Impressive results... sadly I don't have a 120hz display. I was thinking this technique could increase fps on any game that supports it regardless of the display.
I have a vrr telly in the lounge,
On another point, what if it were the other way around where the developer aims for higher fps, then used something like pssr to make the resolution higher, that might be better?
Any which way, PS5 pro sure looks interesting now, being they have already doubled frame rate, with JUST just this fsr3.0
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
I guess.
How come they didnt either let them go or sell Tango and others to another publisher? Not saying Ubisoft, EA would be any better. (Capcome would of treated them right )
At least it wouldn't be MS of all ppl destroying them.
MS really should let go Tango go like they did TFB here.
one was under Bethesda (Tango) the other under Activision (TFB). Clearly each one handled the separations of their subordinates differently.
"How come they didnt either let them go or sell Tango and others to another publisher? Not saying Ubisoft, EA would be any better. (Capcome would of treated them right )"
Perhaps because Zenimax and ABK handles such matters differently based on their own internal policies as "independent" publishers.
Whoever, chances are it´s simply because MS didn´t wanted Tango or Austin to be acquired by competitors and develop new bangers for them, giving MS a bad rep in a possible future. Which could also be the reason why they ensured an exclusive partnership with TFB and its new game, before anyone else.
Sad and disgusting. But it is what it is.

MS has a bad rep now because those studios are no more. I rather them sell the studio continue to make multiplatform releases, while MS continues to focus on whatever they're doing. If they didn't want Tango around they should separated from them or sell them to, like they did TFB.
It's inexcusable, they have options on how to handle studios they don't want anymore with killing jobs. Not just MS but the rest of the industry also.
Sad and disgusting sure how many will get shut down next year or this year even?
I don't trust MS decisions and motivations at this point. You have to admit they make one dumb move after another.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Id venture a guess that TFB working directly with MS was a better outcome than working through Activision to get to MS.
From the article...
"Toys for Bob spun out as an indie back in February after Microsoft instituted sweeping layoffs that impacted 86 employees, which was more than half of the staff"
I doubt those 86 employees enjoyed the Microsoft experience over Activisions.
MS shuts down studios because of lack of resources and then helps these guys by giving em resources. Also MS is what forced them to buy their freedom in the first place? What kind of logic 😂
The best thing is that the company that is worth $3 trillion and owns the company instead of Xbox lacks resources. How the hell does a company worth $3 trillion making a measly $70 billion purchase they 'can't' support. Lol
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
That's absolutely 💯 BS. Any sane 'autonomous' company would NOT put their games on Gamepass day 1 like COD will lose probably billions.
Also they're all under Xbox game studios so any autonomy is an illusion.
YouTube is probing its employees following the PlayStation State of Play leak that revealed all announcements ahead of the presentation.
Wasn't a short detailed leak about 12 hours prior it was hey there's going to be a astro bot a VR game and a few other things specified but massively underwhelming leak tbh
I seen the list posted and instantly got excited for Astro Bot. Everything else was meh.
I’m pretty sure leaks or not, by the end of the show people will still be disappointed. The only highlight for me was MH: Wilds… everything else was mid to forgettable. Hope them HaaS games you got lined up really work out for you, Sony. Everyone asking for Bloodborne Remake, Wolverine, and, uh, well other games like that could’ve made this epic. Instead we get Concord, some derivative Souls-like games, that were fine looking, and a Silent Hill 2 Remake with horrible character designs and janky combat animations… great.
For a State of play it was actually alright. People are overshadowing it because they want to cancel Sony to high hell for Gaas which is not fair for the other devs who revealed great looking games that were just shown. I get it you don’t like gaas don’t buy it. If it sells well good for the people who had interest no big deal? If you are a PlayStation fan what’s wrong with PlayStation trying to cater every gamer? I don’t understand that smh
Where Winds Meet and Ballad of Antara both looked good. Not to mention Astro Bot. It was a decent show. For me personally it was a 7. I'm sure to some people it was actually really good cause they'd play all those games. 🤷🏽 Personal taste
I wasn't dissapointed.
And no, everyone doesn't want a Bloodborne Remake. There is probably very few who's actually asking for it, but the ones who do are loud on internet.
Oh, my mistake. It’s definitely not one of the most requested games when it comes to remakes with news stories talking about it 🙄

Silly me. It’s just a very few that are actually wanting it…
@CrimsonWings69
And you just proved what I wrote.
If Bloodborne was remestered or remade, it would still sell less than Final Fantasy XVI or VII Rebirth, probably be called a great succes from it's core fans, but most wouldn't care.
I love Bloodborne, I want a new release of it, but it's niche and has sold crap compared to most of Playstation Studios bigger titles.
Astro Bot will sell and mean more to Playstation than a Bloodborne Remake.
I hope they do a re-test on this for both the official Wii U version and the NX version, once the game releases. I get the feeling that judging by a limited demo won't allow them to tell the full technical story, be that story a good or bad one.
On a more light-hearted note, if this video hadn't pointed out the frame drops, I honestly can't say that I would have noticed them.
In fact, during the treehouse stream, I didn't. And I don't think the majority did, either. Heck, I don't think ANYONE else did, prior to this. Or, at the least, no one came forward about it to my knowledge.
That says a lot about how much the visual style has helped it, I guess. It's got some rough patches but it's so pretty that a few small frame drops basically went unnoticed up to this point.
Wow, looks like the game has fairly common frame rate drops into the low/mid 20s, yet it only runs in 720p resolution? And the graphical style of the game is very simple and undemanding, another concession to inadequate hardware.
Shame Nintendo didn't put more resources into the Wii U console itself, in order to accommodate the high cost of the gamepad. It left the console completely unable to compete, this generation.
NX version will be 1080/60 hopefully.
30 FPS with drops to low 20s is common for finished games on both PS4 and X1 this game still has 6 months development time not to mention a whole other version designed for superior hardware. This is a complete non issue amplified by the usual toxic fanboys.
Hopefully they can improve the frame rate quite considerably by release.
