Cyberpunk 2077

Cranked up the HDR brightness to 1500nits, which is my TV's max, improved things a notch for me. The defaults are very low 500.

Overall I find HDR to be a weird one, it's never been a thing for me on gaming.

Also gaming mode enabled helps for console gaming.

Just doing the tutorials, PS5 so can't comment much beyond that.

Should not have been released on last gen consoles in this state. It's a slideshow on Base PS4 and Xbox One and S.

The other versions are Xbox SX >> PS5 >> Xbox SS.

Impressed how stable it is on Series S. Visuals are far nicer than last gen console, and solid framerate. That CPU upgrade is worth it from last gen. Those wondering if a move from Xbox One X to Xbox Series S is worth it. Yes it really is.

The game will only get better from here. (On next gen console and PC xD)

Its not just the frame rate, the general graphics are horrible. The particle effects from gun shots look awful.

Do you lot turn motion blur off?

Also those that have been playing on series x, what you finding the best performance or quality mode.

There is a patch coming for next gen, PS5 and Xbox consoles are running the same version just tiered. With next gen consoles holding higher resolution and FPS, there is better textures also. See video above.

It will only get better from here. For some it would be worth waiting a few months for the game to be in a more polished, patched up state.

Performance mode is worth it for better framerate on XSX. quality mode really onlys nets you better shadows. PS5 seems to be default performance mode only.

Thanks, will try that mode first then, I heard a lot turn off motion blur as well.

Xbox One and PS4 vaseline edition.

They are so bad, better to have not released them in this state.

The next gen console it's just OK. XSX >> PS5 >> XSS Imho.

I do think they will patch this game up and before long it will look and play amazing.

I'm tempted to shelve it for a few months...

Steelbook arrived, comes with original plastic case as well, which is a bit pointless.

Performance mode looks absolutely horrific on a 4k display...it must be well below 1080p. I tried it for a few minutes on my CX....nope nope nope. Quality mode it is.

Yes, first thing I turned off, as well as most options in that menu. I hate that stuff.

I think thats the setting that can give you headaches, so I will turn that off then.

After playing on console I wouldn't say it's a shambles, it's rough around the edges for sure, that's undeniable.

Turning off Lens flare, motion blur and film grain make the game look a lot better....

Not sure if I turned off lens flare, does that remove the awful effect of everything having those effects that seem to circle out from a light source?
