The video provides an in-depth analysis of the performance enhancements and graphical improvements made to the "Uncharted 4" and "The Lost Legacy" games, particularly in their remastered forms included in the Uncharted Legacy of Thieves collection for PlayStation 5. The discussion centers on the recent patch 1.002, which introduces new Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) modes and a vsynced 40fps mode at 4K resolution, aiming to enhance gameplay by enabling higher frame rates and better leveraging current-gen display technologies. The video evaluates the effectiveness of these new modes—30fps, 60fps, and 120fps—highlighting the new 40fps Fidelity mode for its smoother animations and superior input response compared to the older 30fps mode.
Despite minor performance dips in demanding scenarios like the Madagascar combat and chase sections or "The Lost Legacy's" rainy fight with an APC, the 40fps mode generally maintains a stable frame rate and offers a much-improved gaming experience. Additional modes analyzed include the V-Sync Fidelity, V-Sync Performance, and Performance Plus modes, with Performance Plus being particularly noted for its ability to achieve frame rates between 90 and 120fps, providing high fluidity.
The video also covers the benefits of enabling VRR in the PS5 system settings, which helps manage frame rate fluctuations, especially in high-performance modes, ensuring smoother gameplay. The patch 1.002 is commended for significantly enhancing the game experience, making it highly recommended for those replaying these titles or trying them for the first time.

In this part of the video, the discussion revolves around the release and enhancements made to the “Uncharted 4” and “The Lost Legacy” games, particularly in their remastered form as part of the Uncharted Legacy of Thieves collection on the PlayStation 5. Initially, these games showcased advanced visual and material capabilities on last-generation consoles and held up well over time. The recent patch (1.002) for the collection introduces two new VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) modes and a vsynced 40fps mode at 4K resolution. The new modes aim to improve gameplay by unlocking higher frame rates and better leveraging current-gen display technologies. The video then analyzes these modes—30fps, 60fps, and 120fps—and how they perform, especially focusing on the new 40fps Fidelity mode, which maintains visual quality while providing smoother and more stable performance using untapped potential from the 30fps mode.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the performance of a gaming mode running at a consistent 40 FPS. They highlight that the mode generally performs well even in demanding scenarios, providing a smoother experience compared to 30 FPS. However, there are some specific instances, such as the Madagascar combat and chase sections or the Lost Legacy’s rainy fight with an APC, where the frame rate briefly dips below 40 FPS, occasionally reaching as low as 35 FPS. Minor issues are also noted, including subtle stuttering during camera cuts and 30 FPS playback of interstitial videos. Overall, the 40 FPS mode is considered a significant improvement over the 30 FPS option, with smoother animations and better input response. The speaker also explores the potential of unlocking the frame rate fully, aiming to see how the PS5 performs at native 4K with VRR, averaging around 45 to 50 FPS under these settings.

In this segment, the video discusses various performance modes and their effects on frame rates and visual quality for the “Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection” on the PS5. The main modes analyzed include V-Sync Fidelity, V-Sync Performance, and Performance Plus. The V-Sync Fidelity mode is noted for smoother play despite dips below 40 FPS, while the V-Sync Performance mode generally maintains a locked 60 FPS. Performance Plus mode can hit frame rates from 90 to 120 FPS, offering a high level of fluidity.
The segment also covers enabling Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) in the PS5 system settings, how it interacts with different modes, and its benefits. VRR helps smooth out frame rate hitches, especially in the Performance Plus mode, where it deals with dips beneath 120 hertz effectively. Performance unlocked mode with VRR allows for high frame rates above 100 FPS at 1440p resolution, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.

In this part of the video, the discussion centers around the PlayStation 5’s variable refresh rate (VRR) support and its impact on game performance. Despite some initial limitations in VRR implementation, Sony’s first-party games leverage VRR effectively with multiple frame rate options, including 30fps, 60fps, and 40fps for 120Hz displays. The Legacy of Thieves collection is highlighted for its performance, offering a 120fps mode and a 1440p resolution mode averaging around 100fps. The 40fps 4K option also performs well with stable frame rates. The video praises the recent patch 1.002 for enhancing the gaming experience, suggesting it is an excellent update for replaying these games or experiencing them for the first time.
