It all happened so quickly. We return to Genshin Impact after a brand new patch – 1.51 – changes the fortunes of PS5 and PS4 Pro, after our initial look at the game. Tom and John unite to compare the performance upgrade over our previous analysis, where sub-60fps drops blighted PS5 (and sub-30fps on PS4 Pro). Is it all smoothed over? Or do issues still persist in this Unity engine RPG?

I get bad stutter while aiming the bow with Amber, pretty annoying but other than that it's quite stable so I think it's a bug cause it happens LITERALLY every time I use Amber
kudos for revisiting this quickly!
LATE as always. Thanks but no thanks. Get back to covering your bs pointless garbage shooting DLC paywalled content games.
Now if they could just add cross save on Playstation…
I still find it a bit odd that this game can't run at 4K 120 fps flawlessly. I looks like such a simple game.
Ps5 57fps and it still hitching? Ps5 is still trash, 👍
I find it amusing that we have pretty much stopped caring about base PS4 users lol
I wonder how the planned switch version will fare.
Sony is dead, 👍
I really like that I can play this at high settings on my potato PC at locked 60. Good to see the PlayStation version got improvements.
Got an genshin impact AD before the vid.
When tf will they fix ps4? Fps???
So I gotta ask , is android users not pushing for controller support ? Cause apple has controller due to them wanting it more than android users according to the devs of genshin impact.
Playing this game on my Z Fold 2 is beautiful but using a controller would help during heavy combat.
1-3fos dips vs 10-20fps dips.
Yeah, I'd say this was a major boost lol
You have to test Dragonspine. For some reason it pegs a zen2 core @ 100% and there is a fps drop like in Monstadt.
Thanks DF
Tom using this as an excuse to re-roll in search of better luck with the Gasha God
surprised how much better it runs
Do neir replicant
You really did a great job DF! Thought you guys just leave it, boy I was wrong.
This game looks like something 5 years old girls would play. Yikes.
Damn this game looks like your typical jrpg trash.
looks like they changed the filtering quality on 1.51 . Looks a little sharper in the YouTube video.
The breath of the wild of PS…?
Is there still a dramatic delay when trying to pick up items?
Knowing how long Genshin Impact's story is gonna be, the only reasonable place people should be playing this game is on PC.
Looks like a rip off of zelda. I feel like a mobile phone game should run at 4k 120fps, this is pretty strange how badly it runs.
If you pick Lumine to test you are a man of culture. Nice job DF.
Games a massive cashcow. When you finish the mainquest line. Uninstall. Don't be tempted
The game isn't impressive in any way shape or form on the PoS5. Terribly weak.
Only 12 year old girls play Genshin. So why even bother?
What about downtown Liyue?
PS5 needs VRR-support asap and all these small little framedrops will become irrelevant.
I don't know what takes them so long with this feature, should've been there at launch.
A revolution of performance is needed for mobile phones 😪
Ps5 keeps on winning! Weakbox series x keeps on taking the L. I couldn't even imagine buying a garbage platform like weakbox.
When China starts to overcome Japan…
Let's be honest: Japan is declining fast… Sony moved to California, mobile games are ruled by mihoyo…
Only Capcom seems to be the resilient…
We can't get a post launch outriders video but another GI? Come one just one more look at outriders please! 🥺
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yay for more Genshin on DF!!!
The thing is….. If the game is good enough – I can live with the frame phasing inconsistensees(just spelled wrong). Now this games is meehhh, but now it is more stable. —- Still the gameplay is the most important thing. VRR can fix al of this, and this will be the soulution in the future(and now). Fixed framephasing is extremly hard for develepors, as compute varries in realtime render — again VRR will fix this. At last, an angry old man saying to sony: "DO VRR NOW :)"
Genshin Impact>Zelda Botw
Any dualsesnse features in this game or nah?
Is there HDR support?
Wolfenstein Blade Of Agony analysis please.
How well does it run on Xbox? Oh, I see….!
PS 5 <3
Very good appreciate it
Guy’s love your videos I’m fortunate to have both the XSX and the PS5. Could you imagine this game on the Xbox and what it’s been doing FPS and the other goodies would EMBARRASS!!! Ps5. Anyway looking forward to the badass vids you guy’s are going make once both consoles are done with the foreplay and start playing with all are gamer G-SPOTS!!!
