      @@BrecklynFast A lot of people clown on digital foundry for zooming in because "it's pointless, and no one plays while zooming in" and shit like that. But in reality it's incredibly helpful for people watching the video on their phones or in TH-cam in general. TH-cam's file compression obliterates any sort of sharp detail and particles on videos, so zooming in helps bring those details back into the video and see clearly what they're talking about

      also Black desert online has cross play with xbox and ps...........these do happen in most games mostly 3rd party games. the big problem is when you have to let either team into your network(i think it works on mmos becuase you DO NOT need any service xbox live or ps plus to use the mmos and they use there own servers)

    I remember a year ago when you guys looked at DMC 5 on next gen looking at the very first instance of 120fps on console. The frame time graph was basically a rollercoster and you guys were still pretty impressed even with all the setbacks made. now a year later and we're running games like this at a much smoother 120 fps and its amazing how well devs are starting to optimize for 120fps on console. I can only imagine the future where we can see a native 1440p at 120fps, i have no doubt a couple more years and we could see it happen in a game as large as this one.

      Doom Eternal runs a locked 120hz at resolutions *above* 1440p on PS5 and Series X. It's no slouch with the visuals either, I would argue it is visually more complex than any Borderlands game. And yes, Doom Eternal is an outlier. But my point is that that level of performance is *already* available, and that it's therefore possible for other games to achieve the same results.

    Love you guys and all you do!
    Could you please consider direct comparisons between the standard versions and the more expensive “next gen” versions? Maybe even a long form vid including several titles now that we’re seeing more and more titles requiring and extra 10 bucks and often for just one version of the game? Comparisons including load times, resolution, performance, etc when both versions are installed on our fancy new SSDs? Tiny Tina is one of a growing number of games asking us to pay more while getting less details (or more vague ones) as to what we’re getting for our money. With others giving us the “optimized” version for free, it’s frustrating not knowing if the only thing we’re actually paying for is that precious “optimized for” version of the game tile/icon.

    All I know is that on Series X in Resolution Mode, playing as a Spellshot, the frame rate was absolute ass in certain areas. One example off the top of my head was Mount Craw. In an intense firefight against elemental goblins with wyverns flying overhead, flinging spells and firing elemental weapons, the frame rate would regularly drop sub-30. It was painful enough that I swapped over to Performance mode, but on a 4K TV that mode looks like someone smeared everything with a thin layer of Vaseline.
    I digress. Between the performance issues, the short length of the campaign, and the lackluster end game that feels dated (yet another horde mode design, yaaaaaaaaaay /s), this really should have been a budget title, not a $60-$70 one.

      Oh, and no it was not advertised as a 1440p, 30fps machine with RT. It was advertised as a 1080p-1440p machine only. Nothing was said about frame rate and it is running games at 1080p-1440p, just as advertised.

    • @griffgames9538
      @griffgames9538 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Series S is the budget upgrade path for previous owners of vanillla Xbox One/S, and a budget mainstream Game Pass vessel.
      To hit the $299 MSRP, it was stripped of important GPU and memory specs -- raw compute units, bandwidth, VRAM quantity, etc.
      Thankfully they had no real choice but to leave the CPU largely intact - and in that area, it destroys the last-gen Jaguar cores, plus the SSD with hardware-accelerated decompression.
      The superior CPU opens opportunities for 60fps (and rarely 120fps) modes, the SSD+IO provides quick data transfer, but the weaker GPU/memory architecture certainly handicaps the best-case resolutions and visual presets on Series S.
      It's pretty decent kit for $299, though. Arguably better than any PC you could assemble for the price, and better than what $299 could buy an existing low end PC owners in terms of upgrades.

      @@nonyabusiness6084 I think the big issue is that it should perform better and devs just don't seem to make adjustments for it.
      1080 at a locked 60 should be the minimum goal but they can't be arsed to do that. It supports VRR and 120fps. A performance mode for it should be included. They manage to provide setting on PC, I am unsure why they can't do that for todays consoles.
      It's kind of the same argument for having split screen on PC. Is it really that difficult to implement when they manage it on consoles?

    Some unrealistic expectations for Series S. The SS is the budget upgrade path for previous owners of vanillla Xbox One/S, and a budget mainstream Game Pass vessel.
    To hit the $299 MSRP, it was stripped of important GPU and memory specs -- raw compute units, bandwidth, VRAM quantity, etc. all take a dive.
    Thankfully they had no real choice but to leave the CPU largely intact to allow for baseline new gen game handling, and in that area, the Series S destroys the last-gen Jaguar cores, plus the SSD with hardware-accelerated decompression is a pronounced advantage
    .
    The superior CPU opens opportunities for 60fps (and rarely 120fps) modes, the SSD+IO provides quick data transfer, but the weaker GPU/memory architecture certainly handicaps the best-case resolutions and visual presets possible on Series S.
    It's pretty decent kit for $299, though. Arguably better than any PC you could assemble for the price, and better than what $299 could buy an existing low end PC owner - in terms of 300 bucks of upgrades.
    It is the budget option, and seems to have sold well in that role. But we must be realistic about best case technical expectations for the Series S.

      it's a bit more than 1/3rd of a Series X, a 4k machine, and designed to run games at 1440p (or 44% 4k) for tv's that in general are 1080p. 1080/60 and a 120 performance option should not be considered asking too much.
      Edit: Incorrectly wrote the SS is 2/3rds of a SX when it would be closer to 1/3rd. Also wrote 1440p is 2/3rds of 4k when it's more like 44%

      @@vaguedreams We've definitely seen more complex AAA with a 60fps option on Series S compared to its predecessor One S.
      Hell, more than One X actually.
      (One X being spec'd for UHD resolutions at 30fps).
      The caveat being inferior image quality and presets vs. One X.
      But the Series S CPU stomps all over the pimped Jaguar in the One X.

      @@InnerFury1886 Whoops, your right on the 1/3rd part. Your tech specs are a bit off, but it was a case of me typing without correcting myself. 1440 isn't 2/3rd of 4k either. will edit my post. (I'm pretty sure I'm probably going to need to edit a couple of them. lol)
      Edit: Just read the end of your post.
      I pop in when it's slow at work. DF does a fine job but at the end of the day it's up to the devs to decide what they are going to do. That's the point I am making.
      The Series S is not a 4k box, nor is it designed to be. It is effectively, designed for 1080 displays. It has the same CPU only running at 95% of the SX, It has 40% of the video CU's running at 85% the SX, 62% of the same memory of the SX (8GB/2GB vs 10GB/6GB), with the same speed storage and I/O performance.
      Are sacrifices going to need to be made? sure, some settings will need to be tweaked but many dev's can't even do that.
