Likewise, the adaptive triggers do a fine job of emulating the tension of pulling the trigger in a fashion that feels palpably satisfying.Īnother expected PS5 boon that is brought to the fore here are the improved loading times. The DualSense controller is used in all the ways that you thought it would be, with haptic feedback doing its bit and providing, well, haptic feedback based on the shots you take (and receive) in a way that feels natural and immersive. Speaking personally, I found that having the balanced visual preset with ultra-high FSR works best as it provided a higher framerate (around 40-50 FPS) in addition to a sharper resolution (which you kinda want in a sniping title where you’re trying to pick out detail at extreme ranges), was the best combination and going forward I hope more games embrace this FSR funkery.Īs is seemingly par for the course for these sorts of cross generation releases, the PS5 version of Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 boasts a range of other expected improvements too.
Having this sort of granularity in visual settings is actually a great thing indeed, in that it allows players to discover that sometimes elusive sweet spot of resolution and performance that a more straightforward two mode solution might ignore. In Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2’s balanced mode, FSR works on a slider that allows players to choose between performance and ultra-high presets with a couple of settings in between, the idea being that if you move the slider towards performance you get a lower resolution and higher framerate, while moving it towards ultra-high produces the opposite set of results. However, where things get interesting is the balanced mode, not least because it marks the first time that AMD’s FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) technology has featured in a PS5 game. All the same, it’s still great to have the option to choose between those two profiles and the visual style of Sniper Ghost Warriors Contracts 2 (especially where the insane levels of gore and the ultra-stylish sniper cam kills are concerned) look great no matter which of those two modes you choose.
That said, while it’s not perfect, the performance mode is still worthwhile in Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2, simply because the improvement in responsiveness and movement far exceeds the benefit of increased detail that you get in the higher resolution visual preset. Though the increase in frame rate is certainly welcome, it does come with its own drawbacks such as an inability to maintain a 60 frames per second lock throughout and the rendering of a distinctly softer image as a result.
With the PS5 seemingly ushering in the era of 60 frames per second gaming wholesale and the number of 30 frames per second only titles now drying up somewhat, it’s not surprising at all that Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 would offer a higher framerate option.
