It's an excellent port, another step forward for Kojima Studio's mission to reach all gamers across platforms, maybe we'll get to see their new IPs on Nintendo consoles as well, at least I hope.
As for comparisons it is just another affirmation that the Xbox Series X and the Playstation 5 are nearly identical in performance.
Kojima is a talentless hack
Kojima Production means quality in gaming
@@gorillagroddgamingtriggered
Sort of 'nearly identical'. Theres still a 15-20% performance advantage on the xbox but with sony having a much larger console market share, their platform gets the vast majority of optimization time and effort, which it completely understandable. You put the time into the biggest potential profit maker.
@@zybch It is not 15-20% faster lamo, more like 10%. Plus PS 5 having the ability to give upto 12.8GB of memory as VRAM while series x can do only 10
Decima is the engine of the decade. As a PlayStation fan, i always seen Decima as a better engine than UE5 and was hoping Sony would allow it as a 3rd party engine for all devs. Now that we see the results and the amazing optimization it brings. Hope we get to see more games on all systems run it.
You aren’t the first person to say this. Decima is proving to be a well rounded game engine. I do hope Sony lets other studios use the engine.
Game looks better and plays better on XSX than all U5 garbage games....
Resolution is good, fps are good..... most U5 Games are running in fuxking disgusting 1080p/30fps on XSX and are looking like shit....
U5 overhyped garbage....but nobody calls it out because Epic has crazy money from Fortnite and everyone is scared....
Would be interesting to see Decima doing a more linear game based around tighter spaces, maybe even without any lighting changes. It has powered open-world games for quite a while now
But why have xbox never made something like this with all their money funny how we told xbox is better but sony makes their engines that everyone wants
@@jemandetwas1 man at this point, I wanna see a space sim like Elite Dangerous. A fighting game... Hell I wanna see how it does as a racer game
Series S on my 1440p monitor set to 1450 runs games great and looks stunning, and i am never not impressed when i see the console running the latest games with no real issues.... ...and it only cost me £250 just over 2 years ago......amazing console that give fantastuc bang for buck.
i get that best console per Euro / Dollar / Pound... But i own a 4k 240hz QD Oled monitor so i go with the PS5 pro
keep on keeping on! 👍
Great to see it on Xbox. I have a PS5 as well but I’m gonna try the Xbox version
It's not on Xbox? lol Wow, I actually thought I owned it for Xbox but it must have been my PS4 I bought it for. Old age I guess. Heh.
@@GoogleLogin-xi8sy You don't have a PS5 xbot
Graphically, no game does faces as good as Death Stranding. It could be the cast of professional actors, but the tech is also breathtaking. Tears running down Fragile's cheeks , that kind of graphical fidelity of faces is unmatched anywhere.
Ehhh Hellblade 2 is probably the only one thst is even greater. So yea .
@@Kobalt_Rax_the_one running at 1/4 the resolution and 1/2 the framerate, so yea
@@CactousManthe game runs on pc tho..?
Nope, death stranding has had great faces for its time but Alan Wake 2 is better. Though the tears effect is pretty good.
@@DragonOfTheMortalKombat Yep AW2 is pretty great too with that .
id be shocked if series s wasnt doing this with flying colors, this was a ps4 title originally afterall and it ran pretty great on that old thingie
KojiPro are very talented devs, they could make it run on a potato probably!
They got it to run on a very expensive phone, barely, but it runs no less. Their multiplat talent has not aged quite a bit!
This isn't the PS4 version though. It's the director's cut
@@AlexanTheMan i forgot that part, that was a literal miracle lol
@@LuisPerez-5the directors cut didn’t change the resolution nor did it change the FPS *iirc* 🤔 it just added more content. The fact this game ran the way it did on the 4’Pro was not only a miracle but also a great leap forward in terms of what’s possible on them jaguar cores 😂 🤷♂️
I'm just happy to be able to play Hideo Kojima's game on Xbox Series X regardless. And the game looks great and runs so smoothly. Great game so far!
Loved DS. Some said it was “boring” but for me it’s meditative and peaceful. It’s not a Kojima game without at least one over the top cringe line.
“Princess Beach”
lol
and when there is a serious story moment cutscene and it suddenly transitions into a mortal kombat like boss fight LOL.
Of course it's boring, it's a walking sim.
@@JohnDoe-pu5gk When it came available via the new updated PS+ service, I deleted it after 10 mins.
Did I miss anything?
@@JohnDoe-pu5gk Tell me you haven't played the game without telling me you haven't played the game.
God I love death stranding. I can understand why some people wouldn’t like it but it’s one of the best experiences I’ve had in gaming.
Ow the fanboy are in the chat it turns into 12 year kid talk, mine is bigger no mine no mine. Seriously kids common and just enjoy the games on your favorite console, we all share the same hobby.
You're fighting a losing battle my guy. I've been banging this drum for some time and it makes no difference, today's gamers (mainly kids) are just exactly that.... kids. It will never stop.
You call them kids but half of them are in their 30s and live with their parents
No we don't share the same hobby. Real gamers hate xbox!
@@MichaelM28 real gamers have converted their parents basement into a gooner cave. If you dont have a gooner cave at least 10x10meters in size you arent a real gamer
I've been saying this since the 16 bit era. Seems nothing's changed with the, 'my platform/games are better than your platform/games' rubbish.
Rich talking trash about baseball while being from the country that invented Test Cricket, is absolutely hilarious.
Well, if he doesn't like Baseball then he probably doesn't like Cricket, lol. I guess the alcohol sales numbers at test matches and Baseball games must be quite strong 😂
I love my Series X, but still defend the Series S. It's such a capable, low priced little box. Its small form factor reminds me of the NEC PC Engine, for they both create a good punch for such a small foot print.
I purchased a series s just to play Xbox games and I find myself playing it more than my ps5 or rog ally. Also since I travel for work it’s small enough that I can add it to my kit.
Series S is trash. Get over it
I wish From Software could buy back Bloodborne, maybe then something would happen with the IP that Sony left in the gutter ...
same. that game is literally a mystery to me as to why Sony hasnt done anything with it yet.
As much as I want an another bloodborne, I highly doubt Fromsoft has the enough ability to optimize the game for current or future gen without third parties' funding and technical support.
@@minpr You're probably right. My last remaining hope is that they'll announce something for the upcoming tenth anniversary, but I'm not holding my breath.
@@minpr They could at least release an official 60fps-patch.
Somewhy Death strainding: Directors cut on PC also got like way higher CPU requirements then original game. Original game did run like 120+ fps on my old pc, and Directors cut often run under 50.
I wonder if the quality mode is locked on the pro.
That makes no sense
@@taurussho86 What makes no sense? The quality mode has framerate drops and the pro has extra GPU power. Many games are far more stable on the pro so maybe the quality mode can now run at a locked 60 with no drops.
@@taurussho86they mean locked frame rate
So this confirms most devs and also UE5 are garbage for optimizing games.
Flight simulator proved that
@@ambrizfer7898 Wats wrong with flight simulator. I thought it was too notch
@60weHoodsta flight simulator on console proved that optimization on serie s isn't a issue.
@@60weHoodsta on pc there is still complaints. Console is perfect though
@@ambrizfer7898 yea... It's a flight sim. Wouldn't think it would be super problematic. So that's great. Not so great for all the other bad optimized games
6:40 King Richard glancing and admiring DF's Switch 2 prototype/developer model console standing proudly in his office right after Alex mentioned the Switch 2 port. 😜 Oh damn, did I spill the beans?!
Series S is a better value than the PS5 pro
Hahaha nice joke. Potato S is dogshit 😂
Can't stop laughing. Only a moron would say that. It's jyst the biggest trash on the market. Even at 199...
Yea but it is also the worst console, id never tell anyone if i owned a series S lol. how poor are u.
don't bring other people financials into the conversation.
Series S is massively better value than the pro, which is a Halo, enthusiast product. In 2 years though, I believe the pro will be the better value out of all consoles. Games aren't getting easier to run
@@jacooosthuizen3593 On the internet behaving like an 8yo...should be ashamed of yourself
Any chance itll be on GamePass?
2:56 Wait, is that a dead animal carcass by the river? I don't recall there being dead animal carcasses. Although it's been a while since I played DS so maybe I'm just misremembering.
It is. This animal was in the cave moments earlier.
I like how in the Xbox version we still deliver PlayStations to the Collector, and there are Horizon holograms for structures... 😄
Death Stranding was one of Sony test runs on the PC market, Maybe this is Sony testing the water of sharing with Xbox after the PC release.
This isn't a Sony choice but Kojima after buying the ip back
@@mikeuk666 either way it does give Sony sales number of a Triple A Sony engine game running on Xbox.
@@GameMasterpg Sony get nothing, they dont own it.
@@mikeuk666 that;s just a rumor. No one knows for sure
@@mikeuk666good now sell back Bloodbourne that is literally the only Sony game I want and I ain’t getting a system for 1 game, as far as 3rd party games if they don’t put it on my platform I won’t even look twice at it
Does the PSSR do anything for this game on the pro?
No patch yet.
death stranding was on game pass for PC last year. was the exclusivity deal for playstation only for consoles?
Yes
Amazing video, thank you Digital Foundry.
I want to play this game again but I have so much backlog...
The @digitalfoundry came image looks really strange, the guy settings make him look very pink. Other guys cameras are set properly and they look natural.
Glad DS is on XBOX finally. Would prefer PS to do more time gated titles than outright exclusives. Still incentivises people to buy the consoles to have day 1 access but also enables play on whatever platform people prefer. 😊
Won’t tolerate DF slander of the sacred sport that is Baseball 😠
Look up how big it is in Japan. They are obsessed with baseball
its not going to be the same without the PS4 or especially the PS5 controller. those controllers make the game sooooo much more fun to play very immersive for sure
But how’s it run compared to the IOS version /s
I bought this as soon as I knew it shadow released on Xbox. I have a 1tb SeriesS and they reason I stuck with the Series S is that I game on 1440p monitors that have a 165hz. I don't game at 4k that's why I don't need the Series X. The Series X is identical as the S but at 1080p 60fps, and that's all I need. Death Stranding blew me away with the crystal clear visuals at 1080p monitor with high hz. Series X is good but a waste of money for gamers who don't game at 4k resolution like me. 😂
I just hope dt2 does not constantly pound into your skull the same thing one NPC said right after they just said it a minute ago. Keep on keeping on!
i can't find any source about kojima taking full ip rights. By the way, Death stranding is one of Goats. It's a rare journey that elevated gaming. Much more than a game. Glad it's now more open to a wider audience. It went from playstation, to pc, to mobile games, and now xbox. What next, switch 2 next year hopefully.
Kojima needs to release a PHYSICAL version of the game on XBOX 😎👍
If there's no physical copy I'm not interested, regardless of what game it is.
I love the thumbnail of him smiling
Screenshot it then fap to it
The game is five years old already 😳
If Death Stranding gets released on Switch 2, wouldn't that open the door to feel the next to continue working with Nintendo and release DS2 on the Switch as well?
Runs great on steam deck also
Steam Deck is the perfect death stranding machine, whenever I have some time I do a delivery
@ericbaker8781
Yeah it matches the steam deck accessibility perfectly. Toilet stranding? Check. Bed stranding? Check. Bus stranding? Check. Work break stranding. Check.
Amazing.
Idk, I have everything on the lowest with FSR on balanced and I still can’t get stable frame timing. It’s especially noticeable if I’m driving.
@@User71956
LCD or OLED?
MGS5 was one of my favourite games ever. I want to give DS a chance, but it really does look like a walking simulator. Anybody love MGS5, but hate DS? Also playing AC Valhalla atm and couldn't help notice this dude has the same facial scar. How did he get it?
Ne pas oublier la XBOX serie S tout les jeux sortent toujours sur les deux support XBOX serie X/S et çà !! c'est une prouesse technique incroyable pour cette petite console un grand merci a XBOX
I been waiting for your review! I listen to digital foundry while I drive around at work... I get my Digital Xbox Series X tomorrow and this is my must play, as well as phantom liberty...
Thank you all for the great job 🫡
Seriously underrated game. Probably the most unjustly hated game of the decade.
Agreed the atmosphere is amazing but people only see a walking delivery simulator only
@@EternalNightingale So you're delivering via walking in an amazing atmosphere?😮
@@BUPMY1 It's not a game for everyone, but I don't understand the hate. What's the point?
@@ArturKwaszyn because it’s nothing to do in the game
Are these people going to test all the 1000 games
I bought it on Xbox. I play it on series S and X. The game plays fine on both.
Xbox ss for life. I feel like Microsoft really messed up on the naming for the xbox. The xbox sx should of been called the xbox 1080p. Yes I know it's a low resolution. But it would of been cool going with what the xbox 360 was called.
Already own it on PS5 and have the original version on Steam, but it was only £14 in Norway so it was a instant buy
I think O would rather chew shoe leather than play a a running simulator delivering boxes.
I really can't stand you guys at "DIGITAL FRAUDARY" on bit.Death Stranding is on EX-BOX SERIES EX and ES which is good for gamers right,But why does is has to be a "Comparison Thing" yet another reason why there's EX-BOTS vs PONIES nonsense SMFH.🙄👎🏼
If this game didnt have normen reedus in it it would have been called a garbage walking simulator
And the fact Kojima made it
It still was.
Exclusives are gone Brehs. Mo money, Mo money !!!
So Death Stranding 2 will also launch the same time on Xbox too then?
Don't think so.
Will be a shorter wait time unlike this maybe max 2 years it will be on xbox
@@EternalNightingalenot if they made a contract with kojima when they sold the ip back
12:00 dead stranding will be on all platforms, kiojima now owns the ip lol
This dude in the thumbnail looks like a old wrinkle book 😂
I wonder what threats and blackmail he used to get the rights.
Probably going to get barred from using the engine in the future though
You know Sony aren't the good guys, right?
@@ps5blows317 I don't remember saying they were?
@@alumlovescake you are way into the condole war crap. Thry won't get barred from anything.
@@LuisPerez-5 I think you are way too into the console war crap because what you are saying is pretty irrelevant to what I am saying
@@alumlovescake You clearly didn't understand. They won't get "barred" from using the engine just for putting the game on Xbox. That is console war mentality. Fanboy mentality
It did appear on PC Gamepass a few years ago..fyi
anyone who can play DS, should fly through a baseball game..lol
So despite the tf difference sony showed the world with ps5 that tf doesn't matter and yet again despite the high price sony will show yet again and prove what the ps5 pro would be capable off
Can you please check Warzone, PS5 VS PS5 Pro, Pleaseee
We shall see at the game awards if death stranding 2 is coming to xbox the same time as everything else but I am guessing it is multiple platform day one because that's why it's marked down on xbox
Decima on Xbox. - special 😊
They should add Ray Tracing to the game so we can play it at 30fps instead of 60fps on a console .
The walking simulator game?
The series S at its price is a great value, it’s a cheap game pass machine and most people don’t notice the graphical differences, it’s just has a bad image because Xbox is awful at marketing
Wow - finally - 10 year old, last gen game which can reach at the moments 900p and almost stable 60fps on base Series!
Great job Ms!
One of my all time favourite games
Normally I'd wait to see if this got a physical release for xbox, but for £17 it was a complete steal. The only problem I have with the game is that quick resume has a bug that will stop your game from saving, so I have to close the game each time I leave it.
It’ll be patched by the end of the week.
They did confirm they are working on a fix for that
If you buy it on Xbox you get it on PC for free. No brainer. Roll on Death Stranding 2 on Xbox.
Isn't that just for some games (xbox anywhere)
Thanks for coming to Toronto at least Rich!
Kena: Bridge of Spirits is another one
You dont like baseball what a shocker. I think most of us could tell that’s just by how you speak
Why buy a console cheap gaming the series s is $300 and with game pass its the best deal you can get for gaming.
Is it a game? No, it's a walking simulator.
this means day 1 release of death stranding 2 on PC!
No, PlayStation probably funded the game or paid for exclusivity so think pc will have to wait a year
Lol no unlike xbox sony smart to fund games and send devs to help make the games means they get it Frist not day on on PC
Sony do seem to have some sort of timed exclusive deal with that game. Willing to bet 6 months or something like that now that the IP is back fully under kojima productions.
@@TheCoolgame24 moneyhatting, because there own inhouse studios ip output is abysmal.
The subliminal messaging in this video isn’t so subliminal. 🤣
Oh yeh 2 consoles with exactly same hardware perform exactly the same. Who could've thought?.
Just goes to show how terrible Console market is. All this "exclusivity" nonsense.
Ssony lure xbots
I buy a xbox series x digital at 349 dollars but now I have an only this game to play! one sense for hold my xbox
Ds2 multiplatform, yes please
Listening to this while playing mlb the show, y’all some nerds
Ima buy the game just to supported and show them that Xbox is a great place to put your games and don’t sell them to Xbox is only 19 bucks so I buy it even tho is not my type of game 😫
Xbox fan in 2019: "death stranding is so lame. No gameplay, and you do nothing but walk about. Its a walking sim"
Xbox fan in 2024: "This 5 year old PS4 game looks great on my Xbox series S"
It's similar to how PlayStation fans criticized games like Sea of Thieves, calling them trash or suggesting that no one would play them. Yet, once the game was released on PlayStation, it reached the top of the charts. Maybe we should just ignore the console warriors and not pay them any attention.
@Spartan_83 death stranding was a Sony triple A game that xbox fans trashed. Sea of thieves was not this type of game of massive big budget game. Playstation fans did not care about sea of Theives being a xbox exclusive and didn't trash on it because xbox didn't say 'look what we got' that's like having knack come out on xbox and hitting number one on xbox charts
@@garethlloyd1445 The fact is that both fan bases are extremely toxic, and it does not matter what kind of game it was. You sound like one of those fanboys you are talking about, and it wasn't just SOT but pretty much every time an Xbox game comes out.
@Spartan_83 pretty much every xbox game that came out, you say, and you're saying I sound like a fan boy. Need to take a look at yourself in this one. When I made the first comment, you replied because you went on the defensive fir xbox. So don't say others ate fanboys when you're a big fan boy yourself.
@@garethlloyd1445 I have a PS5 and PS5 Pro, lol. Just stop, bro.
Not sure what was so funny Richard 😂the only thing funny is the Mediocre upgrade called the PS5Pro
For sure a PS4 Game Will be the downfall of the series S.... Didn't even had the nuts to compare the PS5 pro vs the series x or the s.... Digital counts.... That's for sure
I wonder how many of you here liking this on xbox, said when it first came out. That this game sucked and is just a courier simulator?
Same for PS fanboys hating on SOT or hating on first-person games because they get motion sickness lol
Thank that Decima Engine doing work across consoles and PCs.
Sony makes the best engines.
I know Alex might not grasp this.
But Clock rate, gpixels per scene matter.
PS5 142.9
Seriesx 116
PS5 Clock rate 2233mhz
Xsx Clock rate 1825mhz
400mhz.
Lastly Alex for Series x yo be faster you'd need to fill all gpu cores. The more there are, the harder it is.
Then you have the api differences.
Oh BTW. The Base PS5 destroys a 2070 and a 2070super.
It sits between a 3060 -3070.
Of course it's good, it's a PS4 game 😅
Now you know how we feel about soccer. 😂
Now you know how we feel about baseball.
@ 🤦♂️ well duh! I’m glad you parroted exactly what they say in the video.
“Horizon based game” 😅
Where are the xbots who spent the last 5 years calling Death Stranding a walking simulator???
I like the shape of your head.
PS5 pro is clearly the worst PC ever made
The PlayStation 4 version is the only version with monster energy so that’s the best one
The damage control in the comments. Hilarious.
Why is it that you Xbot’s are always reaching for shit that isn’t there? I swear you guys would do just about anything to make your shitty console seem relevant… 🤦🏼♂️
@585totodamgood where did they mention Sony or Microsoft? You could take this comment both ways. ..
@@mikeuk666 look at the comments and you'll see for which side the damage control is for
They are xbots fans
Yeah I don't care about baseball because you can tell you I don't never ya don't play any sports and is nothing wrong with a man that likes sports that play sports but you guys can tell that she ain't never played Sports in the day of your life that's why you don't like baseball because baseball takes more technique and more skill to play so that's why you don't like it but you probably like 10 minutes of golf or some shit
John sounds butthurted 🤣
interesting they think that ds2 will be long timed exclusive for playstation, now that kojima owns the IP I STRONGLY disagree..
DS2 on Xbox in 2030.
@@pixeljauntvr7774 now that kojima owns the IP and sony is broke? more like 2026.
Great graphics, boring game 🥱🥱🥱
12:12 Ooofff!
Shadow dropping this game without a day prior to announce it, and at 50% discount, demonstrates how poorly 505/Kojima disregards the XBOX audience as an afterthought. Didn't risk a dime in marketing! Proves the XBOX market indeed does not spend money -full price- on AAA games expecting it to come to Game Pass (in this case it did not). A little extra revenue with some sales for a drained 5 y/o game won't hurt them I guess.
