You can view them in this video.
Oreo PS5 looks good.

Do we still need the disc for 4K/60?
Or is the version that's free for PS5 owners from PS store capable of doing this?

PO

From what ive read only the disc version with no updates can run 4k/60 fps. The patch and the digital version lock it out.

The idea of a “faceplate” seems cool but then I think about that money being spent on an actual game or accessory...I’ll just stick to the default plates

 

[danger style]

Mine turns on as soon as I switch to the PS5 input on the tv, idk if it’s by design but pretty annoying.

Have you tried turning off “Enable HDMI Device Link” in the hdmi settings on the console?

Those faceplates are probably going to be $100 and sell out instantly

You need the disc and you also have to make sure you don’t download the update/patch.

When the game first launchedit was 4K with an unlocked frame rate. It was then patched locking it at 30.

Games dont even seem to run off the disc anymore seems like the disc is only good for installs if you on a slow connection.

i use to think owning the disc would save hdd space but it doesnt.

Wait, so don’t download the patch? Is there anything I’d be missing? Planning to replay God of War once I platinum Demon’s Souls.

 

[jmilionair]

I could have sworn the GOW had an update maybe yesterday or the day before...
Did that patch in the 4k/60fps?
DL'ed it from the PS+ store & only previously had options for 1080p/60fps or 4k at maybe 30fps which is horrible...

My buddy also ordered same day and got shipment yesterday. Same thing, tracking says signed for even tho he never did.

I'm hoping mine ships out this week as I've ordered COD, 2K, and a media remote that should all arrive by this time next week.

Other than whatever bugs they fixed and balances they made you won't be missing anything.

Actually you won't be able to play NG+

As far as I know there hasn't been a patch for 4K 60. Unless I completely missed it.

Are you guys on the East coast? From what I gather on Twitter it seems like it’s mostly people from the east coast/mid west that are getting their orders shipped from the 12/17 orders.

 

[dakingii]

Yea as far as i could tell you just cant play New Game+.

Not sure if this is what is happenings but I've seen multiple packages from UPS be labeled as "delivered" but when you look at the actually tracking info it says it was "delivered with Post Master" & the package usually shows up the following day with the Post Office.

Check the tracking info through FedEx & see if there is anything in the notes about the delivery.

 

[po2345]

Thanks for the info stay lurkin dakingii

I thought the previous update for GOW was for 60, didn't know the update capped it at 30.

I even remember this tweet..



PO

 

[dakingii]

Its 60 fps but its capped at 1080P if i recall. Then Resolution mode is 4k 30 FPS.

 

[freeze]

A Story From The Development Of Rockstar’s Agent

www.gameinformer.com

During the development of Rockstar's now long-missing spy game Agent, Rockstar San Diego project leader Luis Gigliotti had to do something far outside his typical job description: Call the United States Embassy in Cairo, Egypt. He needed help. A small team of artists – his fellow coworkers at Rockstar – were being held under house arrest in Cairo. Not only that, but the Egyptian authorities were also trying to pin the group with false charges of shooting pornography – a crime in the country. He needed assistance in getting them home safe.

"And I'll never forget, whoever it was on the call from the Embassy just literally said, 'Are you guys stupid?'" Gigliotti tells me in a recent interview. "'Whatever possessed you to think this was a good idea?'

The whole ordeal starts in Carlsbad, CA, at Rockstar San Diego's office. It begins with the team on Agent not being able to find what it's looking for.
