Definitely. The fact that a 300$ console can run a game like that at 60 FPS is something that amaze me... For the same price on the market, you have a Switch. I love the Switch don't get me wrong, but if you just want your 1080/60fps (It's not like 4K is a standard, even though people talk like it is), you're good to go with a Series S and the Game pass. Hopefully we'll have more 60fps on the Series S in the future
@@MadX8 yes im also loving my series S. wanted an x originally but couldnt get one so bought the S and im so impressed that now im not going to buy a series X. i got a external hdd for cheap so the storage issue is solved.
@@MadX8 Sadly, there are still games which do run better on One X than on Series S. The Long Dark for example runs at a native 2160p at 30 fps on One X and 1080p at 30 fps on Series S because it's utilizing base Xbox One code.
I think the series s is good but only for now . I mean rn it can play games 900p -1080p 60fps but what about the future ? it probably won't be able to do that in future . I think it probably won't even be able to do 1080p 30fps after 5 years .

Not just when firing weapons, that little tap when walking that changes depending on what you are standing on or what your pace is, that is the real winner.
They didn't mention that the PS5 file size is around 25Gbs, while it's 42Gbs on the Series consoles. That makes the similar loading time more impressive.
All that tells me is that the Series X/S versions didn’t receive the same amount of time and optimization. Makes it even worse when you consider that it’s free on PS and $40 on Series consoles. Sad.
It's not about optimization but rather how the Xbox Series S/X handles compression. PlayStation 5 can decompress and move data faster than the Xbox Series S/X because of the architectural improvements. So if the data is compressed as much on Xbox Series S/X as it is on the PlayStation 5 it would result in longer loading times and possible pop-in due to taking more time for the system to decompress the data.
@@ghostthough7874 yeah odd even on another comparison channel they have ps5 load faster by a couple of seconds while here they say series s and x beat ps5 by a couple of seconds, so it seems to be random loading depending on location
@@brucecarter6205 The PS5 has better compression technology, and they just filed another patent to make compression even better by significantly shrinking file sizes without quality loss.
The thing is, each step of ray tracing takes up a little over 1ms and it doesn't matter at which resolution you do it, so 60fps with RT is really difficult. I guess there could be a 1080p 40fps mode with RT and ultra settings. It would work well since 120hz/3= 40 so there would be even frame pacing, with the added beneffit that if there is a dropped frame, you wouldn't feel it nearly as much as if dropping from 30 to 20.

Firs time playing, PS5 graphics mode. The RT really brings the environment to life and draws me in, happy with the rock solid 30fps for this fidelity tbh....but the real winner is the use of the Dualsense, the feeling of your steps on different surfaces and trigger resistance, just awesome!
It’s jarring in almost any game. As a lifelong console gamer I’m loving the 60fps. I don’t ever want to play at 30 again I don’t care what graphical improvements I forfeit
@@tastet5565 OMG that’s exactlyyyyyyyyy how I feel playing 60 now I could never ever go back to 30 keep the day tracing with 30 I’ll take 60 all day everyday
Ray tracing is cool, but not enough to get me to switch from performance mode. Playing for the first time on series x, and buttery smooth perfomance mode is awesome. Trippy, fun game.
Summary: The PS5 version is better because it doesn’t have the stuttering that the Xbox Series X version has. Neither console perfectly maintains the 60fps, but Xbox Series X is worse because of the stutter mentioned in the video. Thank you Remedy.
So far I've been unimpressed with RT reflections. It's visually stunning but, IMO, isn't so stunning to warrant the FPS cost. I'd much rather play at 60 with any spare horse power reserved for SSR or HDR.
You make a good point. I hope developers have implemented a system into their games to track how many people use ray tracing mode and how long they are playing while using that mode. RT is a nice feature to have, but at the expense of FPS, so it'll be interesting to see how many gamers chose FPS over RT. If RT isn't that popular, then developers can spend their time on something more important with their games.
But Rich from ReviewTechUSA said that the Series S will be more powerful than PS5 because is has 120fps and ray tracing! 🤣 That said, Series S runs the game very well. Great job, Remedy!
@@brownchair2698 yeah. It's too bad this generation launched with 1st gen rt cores. Another year and it might have actually made sense to use rt on consoles. I'm really hoping AMD's answer to DLSS can be made available to consoles. that would be a game changer, especially for the series s.
@@brownchair2698 it does but I’ve honestly come to terms with it. Many people don’t realize how crazy intensive it is to try and output something at 4K 60, with or without ray tracing. These consoles would have to be significantly more expensive to be able to handle that. I do hear you though. I have a 4K 120hz TV and I’m constantly switching between performance and quality mode with games that offer it. Seeing those crisp visuals and ray traced reflections is so nice, but the 60fps really shines in a game like Control. It’s tough to choose.
@@DanKaschel There is no AMD's answer to DLSS for consoles. Microsoft themselves are working on their own version of Machine Learning algorithm, while PlayStation don't want it and turned it down.
@@yadspi it's subtle compared to 30 vs 60fps. Double the temporal resolution and increased responsiveness > shiny floors, especially in a game that involves aiming.
@@NGuy-kz2eh This isn't Quake, 30fps is totally adequate for playing Control. RT brings more than reflections and really makes a scene far more natural looking.
I found myself doing that last night when I was playing. I'm terrible at aiming at 30fps so for bigger fights or a boss fight I switch to performance mode but otherwise graphic mode is beautiful. I played it originally on PC with RTX but I haven't played any of the expansions so I'm going to play everything on PS5 and Platinum the game.
Which is exactly why I think Devs should set a universal standard where the cutscenes run at 30, 4K, and Ray Traced to oblivion. Meanwhile the gameplay should naturally cutback, and run at 60. This gives all games a great visual-performance balance blend without need of player intervention. Basically in a way to go back to the PS1 FMV cutscene standard
I just played a little bit of control on my ps5 and the trigger when you shoot your gun is unbelievable. It feels amazing with that little resistance at the end of the shot.
@@xaviermalcolm8481 I said how I felt... Locking triggers are unnecessary, but I like the haptics. Tried Destruction all-stars and it's okay on that game, but it's not a big deal if I didn't have it. I thought my kid would be blown away with it.
Playing my first run in 30fps on my XSX, but have switched off film grain and motion blur. Absolutely love it. Second run will be a 60fps run just so I experience both.
Turning those off makes it look very video gamey and exposes more flaws. I'm always baffled at how many people turn these features off which improve the look of the game.
You say you won’t feel the PS5 drops with a VRR display. I played through Control and grabbed all the trophies pre-launch on the PS5 in 60fps and I didn’t feel any drops. The only reason you knew there were any is because you analysed the footage. You literally can’t feel the 1 second dips of 1-3fps (which happen very rarely)

Currently, the Ultimate Edition is almost unplayable on Xbox Series X. After you complete Mission 3 or so, the game crashes CONSTANTLY, like once every 15 minutes on Performance Mode (I haven't tested it on Graphics Mode). It's REALLY annoying. The crashes happen generally when you open the map or try to change a mod or equipped gun. People on Reddit have also been complaining about this issue. Neither DF or Remedy have spoken about this issue. People playing it on Xbox should avoid playing the Series X|S version until it is fully patched. Cyberpunk had its issues when it launched, but NOTHING like crashing the game every 15 minutes.
@@oleksandr.liakhevych I wonder what’s going on, then. There are some topics on Reddit where people have the same complaints as I do. I was able to finish it and get all achievements an hour ago, but I avoided opening the game menu, because that’s what triggered my crashes. Maybe I had too much loot to handle? I don’t know.
I can confirm the crashes as an issue. Seem to be every 30-45mins for me after the first few missions, no particular trigger for them. Luckily I also have a PS5 so was able to switch to that version. 5hrs in and no crashes (also has haptic feedback on controller and auto-HDR enabled looks decent on quality mode)

It's probably still a little too early to call it, but there have been a fair amount of games come out running better on the PS5 than Xbox Series X. I'm not trying to start a console fan boy war, but given how Microsoft marketed the Series X as the most powerful console on the planet, it's all just a little curious. I look forward to more analysis as more software comes out to test on the two systems. Great job DF!!
I'm a PS5 guy but even I will admit it's still to early to call it. I mean it's only been 3 months man. Gonna take a couple years to see both devs get comfortable with the hardware.

Why isn't the title of this one PS5 advantage over series X like the hitman one? Is it that rare that Series X winning one is so rare that it's only noteworthy then?
Normally I choose FPS over Ray-tracing and pixels any day of the week, but I feel like the ambience and lighting of this game really benefits from Ray-tracing. But the gameplay also benefits a lot from the frame rate. I actually quite torn. I'm willing to settle for 30FPS now since it's practically locked. On the base PS4, playing in the low 20's was painful. So far, I'm slightly leaning toward Ray-tracing, but if the find a way to do what Insomniac did with Spiderman, I will have my cake and eat it, too.
These frame drops on SX/SS are getting consistent with time, so it's obviously either an API level inconsistency, or the split memory configuration, and all those are things that will need more dev time and engine optimization. It's so obvious that PS5 just brute forces with ease and is easier to optimize for.
@@janrickraubenheimer5592 The PS5 tools and API are the same ones they've been familiar with since the PS4. That was a main focus on PS5, to create a very development-friendly console. This is probably the first *new* console that the devs don't have to relearn and retool pipelines for. While XSX/S have new tools/API/and pipelines like every console before. The PS5 *slight* advantage in performance might continue, and it might not. I just hope that with time the XSX performs more consistently in the fps department. It shouldn't be like that on paper but obviously console are more than raw power.
@@salemsaleh9577 I agree with that but Sony didn't implement new features like oodle and kraken that still has to be shown off, and the game is like 20 something gig on ps5 and 40 something gig on the xsx

It has alot less development time in those games so its like Beta while PS5 more polished, most of games so far PS5 won at first when launched now SeriesX winning at them.......

@@TRX25EX I’ve heard those theories as well. They make sense but were never confirmed or denied by Microsoft. I think we deserve a clear explanation from MS about why this is happening on a superior hardware (as they have sold it and promoted from even before we new much about the ps5) and when we should expect this type of performance issues to go away. Otherwise officially we can only conclude that Microsoft either lied or that they don’t care much about their console customers (ie this really only about gamepass now)
@@elcourier Why would they care? Experience wise its amazing it you cant even notice difference cause of VRR and majority of games will run better because of that, and once patched they will easily run better in every way.........

I know DF mainly focuses on frame rates / resolutions but they need to point out some other important info. This game uses the haptics and triggers on th dualsense. But the other major thing is the version is almost 45 percent smaller on the ps5 at 25.79 Gb, compared to the series x and PC versions. Interest to see DFs take on that from a technical standpoint
I wonder why it's so much smaller on the PS5, I can understand the PC version being bigger because of the extra visuals but the Xbox Series X is more or less the same as the PS5, mind you to be fair, the PC tends to be smaller with games then consoles even thought it tends to look better.

It's clear now that MS guys did something wrong with the hardware! 90% of games run better on ps5. I think the 2,23 GHz are paying. Running 36 CU at 2,23 is more efficient than 52 at 1.825. Add to this the superior ssd and decompression solution on ps5.

@@zakixbox Maybe it's the hardware. Time will tell. Especially when it comes to frames per second (Performance Mode) against visuals (Graphic Mode) the higher clock speed makes a difference and Ps5 is able to perform better. But on the other hand the graphic mode theoretically should perform better on the Series X (~40% more CU's and RT power ... in theory). Maybe it's still a lack of proper development tools or maybe the optimizing is not done well. Maybe the game was updated to the new generation consoles by having the PS5 in focus and then it was ported to the Xbox consoles (because on a first look a lot of the hardware is equal) but without taking care of the specific hardware properties of the Series X. It's only a guess but might be true because it's cheaper for the developer to update a game of the old generation mainly on on of the consoles and then porting it to the other console as their hardware is very similar this generation. A lot of "maybe"s and a lot of guessing. I'm neither a fanboy of the Playstation nor of the Series X but I try to be open minded and see the (technical) facts. People also point out the Kraken Compression on the Playstation and this one is definitely a big thing but on the other hand Microsoft has something similar available on the Series consoles (not exactly the same as their algorithm works different and focuses on textures). Well what i want to say .. the file size shouldn't vary that much as it currently does. This again leads to the guess that the game was not yet optimized on the Series X as good as it maybe was for the PS5. Maybe because the Developer-Kits still are a mess. I don't know. We will see. But definitley both consoles doing a great job and this generation (for me) is much more interesting and has a higher impact than last generation consoles.

And when a game runs worse on the xsx, doesnt make the xsx any less powerful, it just makes it the worse place to play that game of the two. Simple as that. You, and others, need to accept that the xsx will lose to the ps5 sometime and it doesnt mean there was a glitch or bug. It just means it got beat. As is evident so far.
Golden eye? That is too young, super Mario bros 2 was really good against SMB1, the 3rd was even better and that had the size of a 5'25 floppy disk, the full 360kb game
@Long Pham in 1985 there wasn't HD evne and the games still looked good, everyone thinks 4k and.other shit matters so much, if that is the worst in a life to complain about, that is real lucky in life then
Control is a bit of an outlier in the large expanses of time between combat and a design with easily a third of surfaces being highly glossy. It's as much an architectural sightseeing tour of the Oldest House as it is a shooter. The setting is a core character in Control. RT effects help bring it to life.
One aspect that sucks in this "new generation" of consoles is have to choose between ray tracing or 60FPS. You can't choose both. I hope future releases at least let the players play at 1080p 60FPS with Ray tracing.....
Loading varies.....digital FOUNDRY loads it different than the other test where PS5 was actually faster across the board. So in conclusion most people should load the game faster on PS5
I though you guys would have mentioned the size of the game in GB for each console, given the incredibile 47% less weight on PS5 (thanks to the Kraken technology implementation on Sony's machine)?
@@jeantaylor9734 who told you that, Microsoft? everyone knows undoubtedly PS5 has miles better in terms of IO and compression, judging alone the speed is enough to make it easy to understand.
But but but but bcpak compat was supposed to be better....I tood those Xdoe that you have to objectively look into the tech. I told them game sizes would be smaller on PS5 due to the Proprietary patented ssd tech solution.

Don’t know if you guys will see this, but just had the game crash my Series X back to the dashboard. Was playing in performance mode and switching back to the higher resolution mode when I would come across something I thought might look cool with the added effects.

@@Roland2617 It's locked 60. Only time it drops is when you kill a giant Hilichurls. Only reason it drops because it seems like a bug and it will drop frames every single time you kill one
Control Ultimate Edition is a free to own if your a PS Plus member. If you plan on getting a PS5 but don’t have one yet I would recommend just adding Control to your library then downloading and playing it when you get the PS5. The upgrade is worth the wait. I don’t know if it’s a free game for Xbox users...
Yet again it seems like the PS5 offers the better gaming experience - considering I purchased the XSX SPECIFICALLY for the extra power more likely to hold 60FPS - I will probably grab a PS5 lol
Haven't watched the video yet nor read comments - I just want to say thanks for the OUTSTANDING work you guys do, it means a lot and is extremely appreciated by people like myself who value performance and frame rate stability. Now, I am going to be watching this with my fingers crossed but I can smell the frame drops already... lol ;0; Thank you also hugely to the devs for the performance mode, I hope it strongly favours frame rate stability (which is the idea) and doesn't attempt to over reach.
And replying to myself because I do that.. Thank goodness they have gone for 1440p. The visual difference between 1440p and 4K is minimal at best unless you side by side 6 inches from a 65inch screen.... Yet the performance hit of 4K, vs 1440p is UTTERLY STAGGERING. it's a damn shame 4K is such a marketing tool, 1440p leaves headroom for an ASTOUNDING amount of graphical eye candy.. What do you think DF? You know I'm right! ;D
This Xbox Series X drop in framerate has been an ongoing issue with just about every game since its come out. There is some sort of software / Driver issue on series X . Microsoft needs to put out a OS update that sorts out this stalling issue. If its not fixable through software I'll be pretty pissed.

@@Faithful-Preservation It's still fun watching Digital Foundry praise a job well done as much as it is seeing them report on issues. They would likely find things that most of us miss in a regular playthrough anyway.
How do you handle games like this post launch when th get performance patches? Or updates? You guys should do TH-cam shorts for those updates or normal videos. As I’m sure people would still be interested .
they addressed this one on their year one retrospective direct, all the stutters were fixed on series consoles, and series x has slight better performance overall than ps5
I'd have thought when doing a deep analysis video of the differences between the consoles they would have mentioned that the PS5 game size is nearly half that of Xbox. I think this is the first example of a third party games utilising compression with the Kraken architecture and I thought personally it would of been worthy of note.
Hi DF, at 11:12 you see that XsX Frame rate drops below 50FPS, and you had a shot changed. Why you didn't show or explain it? I would like to know how low it can go.
We've reached a point where 3 fps frame-drop is an issue and I'm grateful. I...remember darker times.
I lived through the N64 era... the fact that we have consoles that can hit 120fps now it's just so mind blowing to me.

So happy with my Series S and my 1080 Tv.
Definitely. The fact that a 300$ console can run a game like that at 60 FPS is something that amaze me... For the same price on the market, you have a Switch. I love the Switch don't get me wrong, but if you just want your 1080/60fps (It's not like 4K is a standard, even though people talk like it is), you're good to go with a Series S and the Game pass. Hopefully we'll have more 60fps on the Series S in the future
@@MadX8 yes im also loving my series S. wanted an x originally but couldnt get one so bought the S and im so impressed that now im not going to buy a series X. i got a external hdd for cheap so the storage issue is solved.
@@MadX8 Sadly, there are still games which do run better on One X than on Series S. The Long Dark for example runs at a native 2160p at 30 fps on One X and 1080p at 30 fps on Series S because it's utilizing base Xbox One code.
I think the series s is good but only for now . I mean rn it can play games 900p -1080p 60fps but what about the future ? it probably won't be able to do that in future . I think it probably won't even be able to do 1080p 30fps after 5 years .
Files sizes are also interesting:
PS5 = 25GB
XSX = 42GB
Better compression.
Also free on ps5!
Next gen compression in use VS next gen compression not in use
Isn't that the Kraken compression system they were talking about?
how about series S. it loaded the fastest, does it have the biggest or smallest file size.

They didn't mention that the PS5 file size is around 25Gbs, while it's 42Gbs on the Series consoles. That makes the similar loading time more impressive.
Very interesting information!
All that tells me is that the Series X/S versions didn’t receive the same amount of time and optimization. Makes it even worse when you consider that it’s free on PS and $40 on Series consoles. Sad.
It's not about optimization but rather how the Xbox Series S/X handles compression. PlayStation 5 can decompress and move data faster than the Xbox Series S/X because of the architectural improvements. So if the data is compressed as much on Xbox Series S/X as it is on the PlayStation 5 it would result in longer loading times and possible pop-in due to taking more time for the system to decompress the data.
@@ghostthough7874 yeah odd even on another comparison channel they have ps5 load faster by a couple of seconds while here they say series s and x beat ps5 by a couple of seconds, so it seems to be random loading depending on location
@@brucecarter6205 The PS5 has better compression technology, and they just filed another patent to make compression even better by significantly shrinking file sizes without quality loss.
Performance RT mode would've been nice.
The thing is, each step of ray tracing takes up a little over 1ms and it doesn't matter at which resolution you do it, so 60fps with RT is really difficult. I guess there could be a 1080p 40fps mode with RT and ultra settings. It would work well since 120hz/3= 40 so there would be even frame pacing, with the added beneffit that if there is a dropped frame, you wouldn't feel it nearly as much as if dropping from 30 to 20.

Would've been awesome to have RT at 60fps at 1080 or something. Jarring to go from 60 to 30 in a fast paced game.
It’s jarring in almost any game. As a lifelong console gamer I’m loving the 60fps. I don’t ever want to play at 30 again I don’t care what graphical improvements I forfeit

So far I've been unimpressed with RT reflections. It's visually stunning but, IMO, isn't so stunning to warrant the FPS cost. I'd much rather play at 60 with any spare horse power reserved for SSR or HDR.
Rt power should be used in illumination personally.
different strokes for different folks i guess. i personally go with the best graphics possible. i only aim for higher fps in competitive online games
Wild you cant see it
I would rather have bigger
and more complicated levels, physics, textures, and geometry.
You make a good point. I hope developers have implemented a system into their games to track how many people use ray tracing mode and how long they are playing while using that mode. RT is a nice feature to have, but at the expense of FPS, so it'll be interesting to see how many gamers chose FPS over RT. If RT isn't that popular, then developers can spend their time on something more important with their games.
But Rich from ReviewTechUSA said that the Series S will be more powerful than PS5 because is has 120fps and ray tracing!

@@brownchair2698 it does but I’ve honestly come to terms with it. Many people don’t realize how crazy intensive it is to try and output something at 4K 60, with or without ray tracing. These consoles would have to be significantly more expensive to be able to handle that.
I do hear you though. I have a 4K 120hz TV and I’m constantly switching between performance and quality mode with games that offer it. Seeing those crisp visuals and ray traced reflections is so nice, but the 60fps really shines in a game like Control. It’s tough to choose.
@@DanKaschel There is no AMD's answer to DLSS for consoles. Microsoft themselves are working on their own version of Machine Learning algorithm, while PlayStation don't want it and turned it down.

Which is exactly why I think Devs should set a universal standard where the cutscenes run at 30, 4K, and Ray Traced to oblivion. Meanwhile the gameplay should naturally cutback, and run at 60. This gives all games a great visual-performance balance blend without need of player intervention. Basically in a way to go back to the PS1 FMV cutscene standard

Normally I choose FPS over Ray-tracing and pixels any day of the week, but I feel like the ambience and lighting of this game really benefits from Ray-tracing. But the gameplay also benefits a lot from the frame rate. I actually quite torn. I'm willing to settle for 30FPS now since it's practically locked. On the base PS4, playing in the low 20's was painful.

These frame drops on SX/SS are getting consistent with time, so it's obviously either an API level inconsistency, or the split memory configuration, and all those are things that will need more dev time and engine optimization.

@@elcourier Why would they care?

I know DF mainly focuses on frame rates / resolutions but they need to point out some other important info. This game uses the haptics and triggers on th dualsense. But the other major thing is the version is almost 45 percent smaller on the ps5 at 25.79 Gb, compared to the series x and PC versions. Interest to see DFs take on that from a technical standpoint
I wonder why it's so much smaller on the PS5, I can understand the PC version being bigger because of the extra visuals but the Xbox Series X is more or less the same as the PS5, mind you to be fair, the PC tends to be smaller with games then consoles even thought it tends to look better.
It’s the same size on XSX, X1X, and PC. They just didn’t use any compression on anything besides PlayStation

Mark cerny talked about it, and people laughed at him, well I think he got the last laugh!
@@zakixbox Maybe it's the hardware. Time will tell. Especially when it comes to frames per second (Performance Mode) against visuals (Graphic Mode) the higher clock speed makes a difference and Ps5 is able to perform better. But on the other hand the graphic mode theoretically should perform better on the Series X (~40% more CU's and RT power ... in theory). Maybe it's still a lack of proper development tools or maybe the optimizing is not done well. Maybe the game was updated to the new generation consoles by having the PS5 in focus and then it was ported to the Xbox consoles (because on a first look a lot of the hardware is equal) but without taking care of the specific hardware properties of the Series X. It's only a guess but might be true because it's cheaper for the developer to update a game of the old generation mainly on on of the consoles and then porting it to the other console as their hardware is very similar this generation. A lot of "maybe"s and a lot of guessing. I'm neither a fanboy of the Playstation nor of the Series X but I try to be open minded and see the (technical) facts. People also point out the Kraken Compression on the Playstation and this one is definitely a big thing but on the other hand Microsoft has something similar available on the Series consoles (not exactly the same as their algorithm works different and focuses on textures). Well what i want to say .. the file size shouldn't vary that much as it currently does. This again leads to the guess that the game was not yet optimized on the Series X as good as it maybe was for the PS5. Maybe because the Developer-Kits still are a mess. I don't know. We will see. But definitley both consoles doing a great job and this generation (for me) is much more interesting and has a higher impact than last generation consoles.

@@KapitanKlaps Is they didn't then why are you watching this video?
Wait Box series Wait lol
I'm really disappointed with series x performance, it seems like, the console is hard to work with, for the devs. But it is what it is.
Developers got the dev kits late as Microsoft waited on the RDNA2 chips.
Yet again it seems like the PS5 offers the better gaming experience - considering I purchased the XSX SPECIFICALLY for the extra power more likely to hold 60FPS - I will probably grab a PS5 lol
Yep, it is known that the dev kit for Xbox Series consoles is a bit rough yet, hope they'll fix it soon.
Yeah a lot of developers are describing the same issues mentioned in this video. I’ll be sticking with the PS5.
They will patch it, like they did with all the previous enhanced games. The late dev kits definitely put them behind the 8 ball.
Haven't watched the video yet nor read comments - I just want to say thanks for the OUTSTANDING work you guys do, it means a lot and is extremely appreciated by people like myself who value performance and frame rate stability. Now, I am going to be watching this with my fingers crossed but I can smell the frame drops already... lol ;0; Thank you also hugely to the devs for the performance mode, I hope it strongly favours frame rate stability (which is the idea) and doesn't attempt to over reach.
And replying to myself because I do that.. Thank goodness they have gone for 1440p. The visual difference between 1440p and 4K is minimal at best unless you side by side 6 inches from a 65inch screen.... Yet the performance hit of 4K, vs 1440p is UTTERLY STAGGERING. it's a damn shame 4K is such a marketing tool, 1440p leaves headroom for an ASTOUNDING amount of graphical eye candy.. What do you think DF? You know I'm right! ;D
This Xbox Series X drop in framerate has been an ongoing issue with just about every game since its come out. There is some sort of software / Driver issue on series X . Microsoft needs to put out a OS update that sorts out this stalling issue. If its not fixable through software I'll be pretty pissed.
It's dev tools. Only 8 months old now whereas the ps5 tools are 18 months old.
@@glenmcl hope your right. Just tired of it, it's kinda screwing over the gameplay experiences. No one wants pauses and hitches and frame tearing while playing games at 60 fps.
@@glenmcl this is the first time seeing THOSE numbers lmao it’s hilarious the stuff you people come up with. Endlessly entertaining. Keep up the good fight!
So basically the PS5 version is the best experience and version of this game when compared to it's console counterparts, even in both game modes, how hard is it to say that?
Very hard for Digital Foundry apparently
False. SX is 16% overperformance in RT mode
I'm waiting for that Enchanced God of War video
It's going to be rather boring. It's a rock solid 60fps.
@@Faithful-Preservation It's still fun watching Digital Foundry praise a job well done as much as it is seeing them report on issues. They would likely find things that most of us miss in a regular playthrough anyway.
@@DirEnGay Oh yeah absolutely, I agree with that.
@@Faithful-Preservation same
Enchanted + enhanced = Enchanced
The PS5 the worlds most powerful console
No Doubt
How do you handle games like this post launch when th get performance patches? Or updates? You guys should do TH-cam shorts for those updates or normal videos. As I’m sure people would still be interested .
they addressed this one on their year one retrospective direct, all the stutters were fixed on series consoles, and series x has slight better performance overall than ps5
Imagine someone judging games like Jedi Survivor or Cyberpunk 2077 from a early game review?
Those garbage releases run great now .
that sudden stutter is exactly what happens on my pc with no visible spike in either GPU or CPU usage weird
I'd have thought when doing a deep analysis video of the differences between the consoles they would have mentioned that the PS5 game size is nearly half that of Xbox. I think this is the first example of a third party games utilising compression with the Kraken architecture and I thought personally it would of been worthy of note.
Kraken sucks
@@sleasy01 nop, but you do
@@megaman2099 no I'm serious. It really does. Go compare it to other compression methods. It's bottom tier
@@sleasy01 is not bottom tier, please leave a prove of that.
And also if it is bottom tier that doesn't that is bad or sucks.
@@megaman2099 do you know of any other compression technology???
Hi DF, at 11:12 you see that XsX Frame rate drops below 50FPS, and you had a shot changed. Why you didn't show or explain it? I would like to know how low it can go.
Replaying this game feels so good. 1st Playthrough through was Xbox One X & 2nd Play through on PS5
