DF Weekly: a snippet of Black Myth: Wukong PS5 footage arrives - so what do we make of it?

DF Weekly reviews low-quality PS5 Black Myth: Wukong footage, suggests AMD FSR 3 use, and anticipates better analysis post-launch.

: DF Weekly dives into newly surfaced PS5 footage of Black Myth: Wukong, noting quality issues and possible AMD FSR 3 frame generation. The team employs frame-by-frame analysis to review performance but remains cautious due to unclear settings and compression artefacts. Full insights are awaited as the PS5 code unlocks soon.

DF Weekly, hosted by John Linneman, Rich Leadbetter, and Will Judd, discusses new PlayStation 5 footage of Black Myth: Wukong, experiencing quality challenges and noticeable compression artefacts. They speculate that AMD FSR 3 frame generation technology might be employed, but the low-quality video makes definitive analysis tough.

To understand the game's performance, Digital Foundry manually analyzes the footage frame by frame, noting strobing effects and artifacts possibly resulting from post-process effects or frame generation. However, final judgments are reserved until hands-on testing upon game launch.

The team had earlier used their 'Frankenstein's PC' to estimate potential PS5 performance, achieving mixed results depending on settings. With less than 36 hours until the PlayStation 5 release, they're eager to provide detailed coverage of the game's quality and performance modes.
