While I didn’t have a PS4 save to transfer to this version of the game, the experience appears to be the one downside to the remaster. There’s even now keyboard and mouse support, adding further to the accessibility range of the game. You’ll feel the ground under player character Sam Bridge’s feet change as the terrain does through subtle rumbles, and the pitter-patter of rain against your palms. A more transformative addition is that of the full suite of DualSense tactile feedback. There may be a slightly improved draw distance, but that’s about it. And at the very least, the slightly lower resolution requirements keep the Quality mode option locked at 60fps.Īside from the resolution and frame rate bump, little has changed in Death Stranding: Director's Cut in terms of visuals.
It won’t be to everyone’s taste, but the wider field of view does in my opinion add to the awe of the game’s eerie, barren environments. Instead, it adds cinematic letterboxing to your TV display, resulting in something like a 3840x1640 resolution, if you discount the black bars. that doesn’t mean you can hook Death Stranding: Director’s Cut up to an ultrawide monitor and enjoy a native 21:9 experience. The frame rate dips at the higher resolution were negligible enough to be easily ignored – the sort of thing that would be eliminated should Sony ever consider adding variable refresh rate (VRR) support for PS5. Performance renders at 1800p upscaled to 2160p, with Quality raising to 2160p natively. Both target 60fps, and while the Performance mode is locked in at that framerate, the Quality mode (which has a higher resolution) hovers very close to that consistent 60fps holy grail itself, to the point where I tended to stick with that option. “Performance” and “Quality” modes are both present. But the PS5 version looks better still, taking full advantage of the added horsepower under the hood. Death Stranding: Director’s Cut is not only the best way to play this unique and beguiling adventure, but it acts as the blueprint by which all future PS5 re-releases should be judged.ĭeath Stranding was already a gorgeous game, with a lovingly-digitised version of its cast, including Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen.
Just shy of its third birthday, Hideo Kojima’s baby-in-a-jar sci-fi FedEx adventure has received a truly wonderful expanded release for PS5.
Its seemingly monotonous premise proves to only further catapult it from ordinary to extraordinary, and its singular sense of self marks it as a distinctly unique and memorable game.
The definitive version of a truly unique gameĭeath Stranding is a wonderfully ambitious sci-fi adventure that combines affecting performances with a compellingly original narrative structure.
