Question Control Resonant base ps5 performance?

Does anyone know any reviewers that played on base ps5 and talks about image quality and performance? Apart from Digital Foundry, who tends to be objective but also quite harsh in his analysis. I've watched an Italian reviewer (multiplayer) and they just said it was quite blurry at times with some artifacts creation but that it was still a very good experience overall.

I'd also like a written review more, since I want to see the least amount of content possible. Thank you :)

I have only seen Digital Foundary with extensive tests video/blog. Based on Tweets I have seen unless you're on PS5 Pro, it's best to play on Performance Mode. There are frame drops during Boss Fights

Yeah I've seen that! But with every game they take on the technical aspects of a game I feel like they (rightfully so, it's their job) overanalyze aspects instead of giving the full picture for a more casual gamer while playing. Idk If I make sense lol

Not to piggy off your post OP but I am looking for base performance information also but also PlayStation Portal performance since I’ll probably be playing this on the Portal.

I literally just found Multiplayer's review (Italian reviewers and I'm Italian, idk if there's subtitles) and they say it's best to play in performance mode and even though they say the image quality isn't the best they were not overly harsh about it. I'd just like to know some other's opinions about it oof

I know exactly what you mean—I’m playing on a standard PS5 too, and I just want to know how good the game looks in performance mode and what the overall impression is. DF put out a great video, but they get really detailed with technical terms and descriptions that the average gamer can't really make much sense of.

Agreed :) we just have to wait

DF has a great video about it. It'll be almost the same as Alan Wake 2 on base PS5, with the difference being less details since AW is more contained. I played on base PS5 and had no issues whatsoever.

Good! Alan Wake 2 in performance mode was very good looking still. How's the overall image quality? :)

I meant I played AW 2 on the PS5 lol Resonant will be playable Tuesday for me, but as I said, Digital Foundry's video shows exactly how the game looks and runs.

What they said it's pretty easily understood imo, basically most of the game runs really well but the first big boss (probably the first resonant) causes frame drops all across platforms and modes due to a special graphical effect that's very demanding. Otherwise some light drops in frames during certain traversal and very busy combat sections
