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?

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!!!
5:20 ahahahaa that VRR burn
When it updated? I havent got the update
30 fps on a console whereas my rog phone 5 can run 60 max graphics??????
Well, I am now downloading it to my base PS4, let's see it the game is actually good.
1.51 feels better on PS4 too. Now, will they make more PS5? Still no stock.
It looks like maybe the update had a deadline and was just a few workhours behind schedule to be where they wanted it
I don’t get this game at all
Only play if u allow cross play sony… Otherwise still going for mobile…
Im ar 55.
Props to the devs for actually taking the time to increase the fps without just dropping the resolution or downgrading graphics!! 👏🏽👏🏽 I'll give the game a try just because of that 👌🏽
now they just need to add ray tracing and 120fps options lol
Patch 1.50 of Genshin Impact on PS5 is a good example that it doesn't matter how powerful your device is or how ''shitty'' the graphics of a game look…is ONLY about the optimization…a game like Death Stranding shouldn't get more fps than Genshin Impact…It's all about the engine and the optimization…
How does it run on the base PS4? It has fps problems as well.
Too bad you guys didnt get far enough to enter the city of Liyue, thats where the real FPS test is
You do listen, thanks guys
still too much pop in on ps5, it looks much better on pc
Is this game interesting ? I'm out of the loop here. I think 2 videos in 1 week is a lot. Am I missing something ?
I want Klee to perform CPR on me.
More like "console foundry" than digital foundry. Where are the pc games?
Unrelated to the video, but I just really wish you could use your save from pc/mobile. That's the main thing stopping me from playing on ps5
Great game for free, no cap
I already stopped playing after hutao
