The game runs smooth... almost, too smooth?

[Lulu]

Anyone else feeling weird with how smooth this is? I played it on PS4 when it came out (Royal) and it didn't feel as smooth as the PC port does. It literally feels like it was interpolated with AI or something. Is it supposed to feel like this? I'm playing it on 120FPS.

I get that 120fps is going to be smooth, but this feels unnaturally smooth. like the game is running too fast in 60fps or 120fps both.

Complaining about the performance being too good is new. I'm happy to endorse a little variety to the whining instead of the usual Price/Denuvo/My Potato can't run it stuff.

I ain't complaining! I'm just wondering if anyone else feels the game is running extremely smooth, or if there's actually something wrong with my settings. The game runs like a dream - there's practically no loading, it's amazing.

I understand everyone's rig is different, but I've been running at 2K@120FPS. This is amazing, I just can't tell if it's running too fast or not.

Yeah something about how quickly you walk around kinda bugs me, i actually enjoy the whole walking around and exploring/listening to the world chatter and discovering little things; and the unnaturally quick walking just kinda ruins it.

I'm also playing on 120fps. I'm thinking of cranking it down to 60 and see how that feels, because some things do feel/look too fast.

No such thing as too smooth. You'll get use to it. I don't know what they did to unlock it. Running P5, the older version on RPCS3 at 60 fps required a patch due to the game being tied to frame rate. It's possible that they are interpolating the in game objects and animations to get higher frame rate, but I can't confirm it.
Whatever they did, I think it looks great. There may be animations that look weird here and there because they never checked to see how they'd look at high frame rates, but I haven't caught any.

This is probably the answer. I played the original P5 and P5R on PS4 so going from them to this is probably why It feels so off. though I think some things are definitely interpolated.

after I posted I saw the other replies that was sent, lol. There is probably something going on with walking that is not agreeing with high frame rate. I actually did notice that the walking threshold was very small and I'd end up running if I wasn't careful, lol. I wanted to test it some more but I never did. I'll do that soon when I think about it.

Can the game be played past 120 fps? Because I have a 144hz and 165hz monitor.

as far as I can see, 120fps is the max. doesnt seem to have an uncapped, but it does have vsync.

Alright so I tested walking on RPCS3 (without any patches) and I think the walking was always off. It's just that we're just now noticing it with high frame rates. I don't have a PS3 anymore, or the game on PS4 so I can't test on there, but it shouldn't be any different.

For it's me weird: it runs like a dream on the Deck but on my PC with a 3080Ti it has some weird performance issues, minor issues, but still issues.

All the animations were likely carefully designed around the 30 fps limit of the PS3/PS4 which is causing things to almost look they are on fast forward at times.

Going back to this post nearly a month later: It turns out that I was suffering from extreme fatigue & stress. The game feels as normal as it did on PS4 (P5R ver.) now. There was something about this game inherently making me feel sick and interpret the smoothness strangely.

[不良ヌルポインタ]

I need try 4090 and see if the performance is any good I think 3080 isn't cutting how smooth the game is. I found that the graphic is so true to life that there is no GPU in the wild can handle this simulation. You must be on to something we all should get more smoothness out of it.

[Steel]

lol that's a funny complaint
If anyone absolutely wanted 30 FPS for some reason like the PS4 you can limit to 30 in-game options, if your monitor is freesync/gsync which it should be then it's going to lock at 60hz with good frametimes and it'll feel just like the PS4.

Doing that should be a federal crime in my opinion but you do you.

After solving my stuttering problem with a CPU upgrade, I agree..this game runs without a single hitch, it almost feels like I'm running higher than 60 FPS even though I have it locked to 60. Feels real nice. I think the stylistic menus and good camera angles during combat contribute to that feeling of smoothness the game has overall.
