The Crew Motorfest - PS5/Series X/S Tech Review- A Great Series Return - But Only 30FPS on Series S
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- As the series' third outing The Crew Motorfest hands in a solid 60fps experience on PS5 and Series X consoles. The open world design is in the same mould as Forza Horizon, and translates well to each. However the result on the 4TF Series S console isn't up to the same standard, where all gameplay is fixed at 30fps - with issues in frame pacing and tearing to boot. Tom investigates the quality of each version.

“A welcome change from the USA setting of The Crew 1&2”…. Someone tell Tom that Hawaii is still the USA.
you know what he actually meant, be serious
Lol, I had to pause the video a min in Just to come to the comment section about that one line 🤣🤣🤣
I think he meant continental US 🤣
@stephencroft1612 dunno he didn't know Niagara as in Niagara falls as a game engine the other day and called it ny a gara
We need more arcadey sports games like this so kudos to Ubisoft for actually trying. Gaming used to be bang full of those and snowboard/skateboard ala SSX. Something I miss very much at least
Agreed. For some reason "Arcade" has become a bad word these days... People don't know what they're missing.
Disagree strongly
@@MadX8 They are not missing anything... Because all of open world race games know to date are arcade...
Always been this way... unless some Studio step ups and bring something way different... Open World Sim Racer...
@@MadX8Seriously, people use arcade as an insult when it comes to certain games. Like not everything has to be painstakingly realistic, we also want some fun games
The current "simulator but not really" meta of racing games is pointless when they stuff the games full of driving assists to the point it needs to play itself on a controller anyway, all those detailed physical simulations get lost in the shuffle when you do that.
I want more stuff like Burnout, Burnout 3 is still a joy to play.
Some things I for sure thought would’ve been mentioned:
• The draw distance especially when flying.
• Sometimes when resuming the game from PS5 Sleep Mode, the game will be stuck at 30fps, even with Performance Mode enabled.
Don't assume DF plays like a regular user. The sleep mode thing would likely never come up for them.
ps5 draw distance is pretty bad
There's something so weird about the lighting in all Ubisoft games, I can't put my finger on it
The Division 1 (haven't played 2) looks amazing. But The Crew has always been a bit dull for sure.
@@MadX8 Yeah I always forget about The Division, those games sure do look amazing.
Most other titles do have that weird lighting I was mentioning, I think it's more visible in Far Cry 6 and the new Avatar game
@@ShadyPaperclipsI remember The Division used the Snowdrop engine, and Far Cry ran on the Dunia Engine I believe. Though it seems that avatar is using Snowdrop as well so that doesn't fully explain it.
@@benhumphreys1871 yeah could be an artistic choice, I just find it weird.
Like the shadows are very dark, idk how to explain
Weird that the game had 60fps on the beta on the S but not now, it worked great in the beta, maybe it will come again in a patch, classic ubisoft shenanigans
Even weirder that ubisoft are not doing anything about it
Forza has 60fps on series s
this isn't higher quality than them
@@50H3i1 Its not about quality lol
@@Novskyy621 it's Bout what then lol
@@Novskyy621then what's it about tell us
If Forza games can run in 60 on Series S there's no excuse for this game not to.
I don't think third-party put a budget like Microsoft for the series s version
@moha.F apparently it was 60hz in the beta.
Its egregiously bad that they couldn’t get a fucking RACING game running at 60 - the state of gaming right now is a mess
@@HiLoMusic Calm down. It's a Ubisoft issue
@@fezzy5591No, it’s a game industry issue. You see it everywhere, relative graphical upticks for twice the loss in performance, companies jumping foolhardily into UE5 for nanite and lumen but being woefully unequipped to optimize new systems. Irking every inch of a game’s graphical output and completely letting the backend be a jumbled mess.
Best physics in an arcade racer I've played in a long long time. Total overhaul of Crew 2's floaty weightless physics.
That's good to hear. I heard 2 was the same as 1, which is what I'm playing (or was, until the servers stopped letting me log in), and god this is one of the worst racing games I've ever played. The physics are horrible and take forever to get used to.
@@chettlar212 yes 3 much bettwr
Forza Horizon is so much better than The Crew and any NFS game. But finally Motorfest is a good game for ubi$hit soft
Strange that there was no talk about the broken HDR setting...It was so broken at launch that i needed to use the sRGB option. Hope it will be fixed...
i noticed video footage of options of game on video , sRGB , I thought that's an option i would have changed. An now you say this it wouldn't surprise me if HDR is messed up ,,, See for a pixel peeping channel you would have thought DF would have mentioned this like you have , An honestly on modern displays bad HDR is probably as bad as poor resolution if not strangely worse ,
Saying that it don't surprise me from DF ,,,, comparing a series X To a ps5 is like comparing same car in different colours while making shed loads of money .
I feel like the online stuff contributes a lot to the stutter stuff. The game is surprisingly gorgeous and pretty decent details / scenic roads / off-road
😂😂😂😂😂 surprisingly gorgeous
Haters 😂😂😂
The game indeed looks really good and much more enjoyable than FH5.
Loving this game on the PS5. The online is so fun
I’m happy playstion users get a forza horizon experience. Not fully but the similarities are definitely there and in some cases motorfesr actually does some things better
Can I play this game offline too?
@mr.2cents.846 no. I was excited for the game until i leaned u can't play offline and always need to be connected to the internet. I'm not paying 70 for a game I won't be able to play in a few years when they take down the servers. I'll grab it when it like 30 on a sale
you dont need PS Plus/xbox live but you cant play offline@@mr.2cents.846
Mom can I have Forza? We have Forza at home
who is going to tell them that Hawai is a part of the USA?
The pop in on performance mode is WAY to NOTICEABLE!
Have 40hrs in the game, its not after a while.
Missed Tom's reviews. He needs to review more stuff when compared to the others if you ask me.
Absolutely, apart from Rich, he's the most journalistic out of them. It's flat out, unbiased facts about the game and only very slight mentions on what the game plays like. Alex is especially bad with letting his own bias slip into projects due to his love of ray-tracing...which is actually seems to be on the way out for now in gaming, it's just too expensive and most people want 60fps and higher framerate gaming, not ray-tracing at 1080p or something like that.
@@floodsieyt Tom's videos also tend to be very surface level and don't go in-depth at all, unlike John's but especially compared to Alex's videos. Alex is definitely the most stern reviewer of the bunch, but I think that's a good thing.
And no, ray-tracing is not ''on the way out''. That couldn't be further from the truth. We've seen more and more titles ship with ray-tracing features every single year. As technology improves it'll only become more prevalent.
You must either play on an older mid AMD card or exclusively play on the older mid AMD GPUs in the consoles.
It's expensive, but DLSS is an absolute game changer
I love all the DF gang but Alex Rich and John are by far the best simply because they do add opinions. I like hearing them talk about what they love and don't love about a game, even beyond the tech stuff. I feel like if you just want hard specs then you should just go read the articles on Eurogamer
Oliver and Tom are good too but their videos are usually much more "raw numbers" and they tent to take a pretty middle-of-the-road stance on things. Which is fine lol it's still A+ content but the original team is in a whole other league. By far my favorite gaming channel cause of them
Tom reminds you DF is way better at objective analysis of the tech than reviewing things in the middle of a tech analysis. Linnerman's highschool poetry in 30 min videos where you only need the 10 min of tech analysis has just made any video he makes a no-go to me.
Tom is part time at DF
BTW the one who founds Honolulu's streets on a open world racing game was Eden Games with the original Test Drive Unlimited on Xbox 360. It was for sure the best racing game at the start of X360's life cycle.
Nah, it was cool having the island to explore, but a lot of the map was samey samey, and the vehicles physics and handling were pretty poor. PGR3 looked much better and handled way better. If only they did a big open world PGR, that would have been awesome.
@@ArconaTDU1s and handling physics were okay, much better than TDU2 I thought.
Can't compare it to PGR, different type of game, which is amazing in its own right.
A lot of the team at Eden Games are now this team. The Crew has essentially been TDU this whole time.
@@ClassyTechCalibrationsA spiritual successor?
@@offspringfan89 more than that since it's basically a rebadge after they were bought or absorbed by Ubisoft.
Motion blur shutter speed should be much longer, especially on S since it's running at 30fps.
Edit: is there even motion blur??
Hey Digital Foundry! Please consider doing an analysis on the new EA Sports WRC title. There is a lot of debate whether it looks on par with other modern racing games. Like many, I think it looks flat in the previews. Almost like an older game running at higher resolution, but I don’t know why. It would be really interesting to understand the true technical reasons of why it has such an appearance. Thank you.
Indeed, it looks like a game at least 5 years old. It might be the lighting that causes that outdated look. The textures look decent.
An arcadier forza horizon. The art direction looks like Crusin' USA
Had a great 40h on this on my PS5 the online racing keep it alive along with different monthly championship's that change. Great effort from Ubisoft when you don't have access to the forza series on PS5.
Get a PC or somewhere to play Forza when you can. It’s really fun and playing both now fills my sim racing and arcade racing
@@PearlJam891nope forza sucks
@@hogman3543 cringey bro
I do play it via Ubisoft+ on Series X and S because I wanted to try AC: Mirage as well.
Despite the performance problems in Motorfest a quite cheap Series S (bought mine used for 160 €) could be a fine addition to a PS5 for everything outside the PS ecosystem.
Grass is SO important I know I try to mow my yard in 4K as often as possible, but sometimes is drops to 1080p. Damnit!!
Mine likes to drop down to 480p 😭
📎📎📎📎📎📎📎 Beamish
Forza Horizon 5, a superior-looking game to this that came out 2 years ago, can run at a locked 60 on Series S. No excuses here.
I really enjoyed this game even though I'm more of a sim racer.
Felt that
The uneven frame pacing is also here when playing 60 FPS within a 120 Hz container. It also causes VRR flicker when enabled
The game doesn’t support vrr so yeah
I have VRR flicker too
00:48 Hawaii is a welcome change from setting the past two games in the USA. Interesting geography!
Hawaii probably doesn't want to be recognised as a US state I don't see it as that myself
I find it hard to believe Series S couldn't do dynamic 1080p 60
The 30fps on Series S seems to be a bug with their VSync. See the prelaunch footage.
Series S' version has the polish of a launch title. If they added a 60 fps mode it would probably bounce around 1080p and 720p (average 900p maybe) and would be a better experience.
Since it runs at 1440p with 30 fps I am very sure that it'll do 60 fps at fullHD most of the time.
@@hassosigbjoernson5738At about 5:45 he says the Series S resolution is dynamic 1440p. At its lowest it's just above 1080p. So 60 fps might drop to about 720p, maybe 900p would be closer to the average.
BTW there's a glitch on PS5 where on resolution mode, if you turn on VRR the game will have some kind of stutter consistently as if the game is locked to 26fps. I don't know if that's causing the stuttering you see with the xbox systems
A 40hz Balance mode for both consoles be a great addition,lock at 1600p for SERIES X and 1260p on SERIES S and using FSR3 would have a much better result.
Rant warning ⚠️
Ubisoft IV can't even manage 30fps. They need to sort out their vsync issues first. The way they do adaptive vsync seems to be the issue. Adaptive vsync can be a good thing but it seems Ubisoft published games on Xbox always have frame pacing issues in one mode at least.
I've also had frame pacing issues with various Ubisoft titles in-game adaptive vsync on PC in the past. It's just infuriating that they keep relying on it for their games. Just use normal vsync, at least on consoles where this thing can't be fixed by the user. These issues have gone on for many years now. Simply using regular vsync 1/2 or 1/3 for 40fps would fix the problems straight away.
40fps for series s is a great idea. Don't think I'd use it in this game on series X though as I think the image quality is acceptable at 60fps. But I'm all for options.
4:43 Tom, you forgot to mention that the ground texture here is completely missing POM or tessellation in the perf mode....
Please make us a video with the PS4 Pro and Xbox one X version.
I saw that overhead map using the actual game world in a user made racing game on Dreams before.
"a welcome change from the USA setting of the first two"... is Hawaii not part of the USA anymore? (and yes i realize what he meant 😊)
The resemblance to Forza Horizon, I mean, even the font choice and the checkpoint markers, is surprising to me. I stopped playing Horizon 5 a long time ago and certainly not going to play a clone. I do wish they would make a new console competitor for Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport though.
A couple years ago I kept hearing about how the Series S was an awesome 60fps machine, so I bought one to complement my PS5. Last year however I made a comment saying watch how this console turns into a 30fps machine and sure enough here we are. It was bound to happen once games started becoming more complex. We’re going to see this more and more. I personally don’t care because I only use my S for Xbox exclusives, but if the S was my only console, I’d be ticked.
I ended up selling mine and upgraded my PC GPU lol.
Considering this is a cross-gen game I'm almost certain they could've got 60fps working if they'd put in the effort. Series S is a lot more powerful then Xbox One or PS4, where this game also runs at 30fps.
Bad news. It will happen to the ps5 and series x as well. We are already seeing it
Took you long enough 😁
Hawaii is apart of the USA Tom 😂
I think he doesn't know the lingo. Most people call the mainland "the States" or something like that. But yes, Tom is wrong in a way. Hawaii is a part of the United States.
@skaterricky but what is a U.S. "setting" anyway... All of America is as geographically diverse as Europe. Just a weird comment. Colorado looks nothing like Arizona does, etc
"APART" BTW
"Gear change from the US setting"
Hawaii is a part of the states lmao
I hate the trend of racing games being always online.
What trend? Was nfs? Cuz other than the crew and nfs none else are
Oh shit. I forgot about forza 8. Yea that's insane
@@HugoStiglitz88 nfs 2015 and rivals were, Gran Turismo Sport and 7 too...
what about the Ghosting? if you drive. and look to the side with your camera, your car almost got a new rear end haha it's really that bad
I have tried Crew Moterfest Demo on Intel Arc A 770 16Gb with driver 4887, no upscalers for PC that I saw, it can run the game native 1440p High @ 60fps or 2160p Low setting will also work.
the way you pronounce *Option* sounds epic 😂
It's not 2013 anymore. Man, those days were certainly 'epic'.

I never understand why so many Series S games are locked to 30 FPS. It has basically the same CPU, so it should be just a matter of resolution. And if you lock it to 30 with uneven frame pacing, it's just unplayable.
This has to be an optimization issue and developers not willing to put in the effort.
It was a bit of a blurry mess but it was present in the beta albeit a bit unstable. Wasn't perfect but I don't understand why it was outright removed
Absolutely. They should at least offer the option of even 720p60 for those who would prefer it in a lot of these games. Often it would be closer to 900p in many cases, and I suspect a fair amount of Series S owners are still on 1080p TVs anyway.
Too much else to play at the moment, but I do look forward to giving this one a spin when I have a gap; looks fun.
It is very fun
0:50 I'm pretty sure Oahu is still in the USA...
The Series X port whilst during regular performance it runs pretty well outside of the odd occasion, its the *stability* that becomes a huge problem.
From my experience, that particular port's netcode seems to be quite bad. I've had continuous issues from time to time to where the game just gets stuck on a long loading screen, most frequent from when either exiting the Main Stage, or when finishing a Grand Race. I've had some last for minutes on end, and its incredibly infrequent when it happens. Even once had a situation where the game got softlocked on a loading screen when trying to enter Photo Mode.
The load time issues seem to be far less frequent on PC and PS5, its just the Series X in particular. Very strange.
Slight correction, Hawaii is the USA
Remedy roasted the Series S for being a generation back holder. Now that we are seeing more and more current-gen games only, we’ll be really seeing how Series S will hold games back.
My 13 year old son absolutely loves this game! He plays on Series S and I don't think he's ever complained about 30fps or frame pacing. 😂 I, on the other hand, would complain, but I only play PC games on my 7950X3D/ RTX 4090 system. 😉
well, we were kids once... i also didnt complain about 30fps on PS1(below 10y old), PS2 (from 10y to 16y), X360 (16y to 23y), Series S (23y to 26y).
now i have a PC with 3090.
@@brunoutechkaheeros1182 I still remember me complaining to my dad who upped the resolution of LotR: The Return of the King from 800x600 to 1024x768 for "ruining the visuals". It was not until I played my first FPS until it got to me.
@@brunoutechkaheeros1182that's because you hardly ever had to deal with 30fps on your PS2.... Vast majority of games were 60fps. Games are going backwards 🤷
@@theanimerapper6351definitely not lots of games were 30 on ps2 all gta games for example
@theanimerapper6351 that is legitimate not true at all. Idk what PS2 you were playing but majority of games were 30fps. 60 fps was rare.
1440p and an unstable 60 fps so much for the 4k/60 future announced before the start of this gen by the console manufacturers
I'm definitely buying Motorfest for my PS5 once it goes on a good sale since it's the closest PS owners can get to Forza Horizon. It's too bad that Sony/Polyphony avoid arcade racing.
If EA would do even the most basic 4K remaster of Burnout 1-4 and Dominator I'd buy that so freaking fast. I know ost rights would be tricky. But, I'd glady take some ost over none.
Think I'm getting it today for same reason as Forza horizon is superb but no Xbox for me to play it on
This game is a blast. Most fun I've had on a racing game in quite a while. I love the progression pacing too, doesn't throw tonnes of cars at you all at once like Horizon games.
I am playing the game on series S and having a great time so I mean...
5 was literally the only Horizon game that threw cars at you and it was patched out (after 1 week) because it was unintended.
@@Skuntacdefinitely not the case lmao
@@ZeAllMighty1 definitely was exactly what happened lmao
@@Skuntac not really, I just played FH3 and I had so much cars too choose from that I abandoned it after a few hours because the races where so boring not being forced to choose this or that car
I hate when they be all dramatic and shit The game literally dropped two frames at the beginning of the race for like 3 seconds and nobody will honestly notice that when playing
I cant believe there is no option to remove the floating yellow line of the GPS I wish I could have just the minimap for the GPS
Why didnt they reviewed the HDR10 optiones? Far from that the Game is really fun. Hope the pop-in shadows could be patched. Because they're pop in to late for me. 😅
People should realise that XSS is way closer to Xbox One X and PS4 pro than XSX and PS5. And don't expect "miracles".
I really hate screen tearing but if it's super rare it might be the better trade off for the slightly better stability over PS5.
Vrr
Vrr solves frame drops though not screen tearing.
@@maxminy5634 vrr helps with screen tearing also
@@mazzalean077 by lowering frames (slightly).
@@maxminy5634 VRR solves screen tearing it is the purpose of it, not the other way around. Frame drops cause screen tearing which is why vrr was made.
This game is the perfect addition to GT7 💟
How's the handling?
Shame the HDR10 / sRGB options weren't examined. So long as you have an HDR capable TV the default (sRGB) is painful but you HAVE to manually switch to HDR10, no auto detect (on my XSX anyway) and the difference is fantastic. Shame no Dolby Vision option was there.
I’m with you. I thought they would for sure analyze the HDR implementation in this game.
Hawaii is in the US.
All I heard was the Hawaiian Island of Oahu. That doesn't mean Hawaii ain't part of America.

Speaking for One X is about 4K or close, looks beautiful, has the same performance bugs, but can easily be fixed. Even at 30fps it's a blast. PS5 I played the trial, meh it's just a little more colorful imo.
Hopefully a future patch will fix these issues on PlayStation 5. Nothing game breaking but would love a butter smooth experience.
Use a VRR display.

No real problems here, the video says it runs 99% at 60fps. And the 30fps is totally stable.
For both consoles
TBH They should have called it The Crew: Ribfest.
Hawaii is a US State though.
I thought the crew motorfest was 1080p 60 on Series S at launch
biggest letdown is the always-online model, there is no offline?
they should've optimized the Series S version better, if this console can get 60 fps on cyberpunk and the witcher 3 while looking clean, it can also get 60 on a car game
It isn't 60fps on Cyberpunk is it? Runs at 30 for me
Why should it be optimised for series s? The only first party series s/x ONLY games Xbox have released to date is Redfall and Starfield and NEITHER is 60fps. If Xbox can't do it themselves, then where does this expectancy for 3rd party dev come from??? On top of that, those 2 games aren't even at PS4 levels of visuals like GOW (linear sort of game) or Horizon (open world game) and both their sequels too. Forza is their newest game.
I'm sorry but if Xbox proved it can be done easily, you would have an argument and we already saw the DF analysis of all the lies and downgrades Forza received, to get it running on both consoles too. Plus its only set on smaller tracks, its not an open world racer like The Crew.
And surprisingly, as a current gen only game, the new Forza isn't even an overly impressive looking game, like 9 year old Driveclub still looks like at times compared to most modern racers.
Err and, yet again, Cyberpunk and The Witcher 3 are last gen games, they SHOULD run at 60fps on series s.
@@Mondochiwan There is a performance mode mate.
its strictly down to devs not giving a rats ass about 'old' hardware; why they didnt just make it a 900p 60fps performance mode for the series s boggles my mind
(oh wait, i know why, because microsoft doesnt want their 'new gen' console already playing at 900p only a few years later, which is fair, but at the same time microsoft/devs need to realise that framerate>resolution when it comes to fast paced games like these)
This game is a blast...I never played more than a few hours of the series before this one. And my interest in Horizon has waned in recent years. Been happy with CM so far.
We Seems to be getting diminishing returns in performance on these current Gen systems. Choices being made in hardware functions that don't really make the game look better.
No, it's that AMD sucks, their hardware is underpowered. A console using better hardware could easily be more impressive. The industry made a deal with the devil when they allowed AMD to hold a duopoly over BOTH high end consoles.
@@Wobbothe3rd😂
@@Wobbothe3rd you figure we'd be better off if Microsoft and Sony pitted Nvidia against AMD to drive up performance per $ ? I'm thinking perhaps the opposite arguement could be made in that if AMD didn't have as many Chips to make as they do perhaps the cost would be higher ?
@@Wobbothe3rdamd has been really slow to deliver on all of their software based solutions that would allow for the visuals to be pushed harder (vrr, fsr, ml upscaling, etc) and it seems like it’s really hurt the end product. Realistically we should be getting higher resolutions AND higher frame rates instead of one or the other based on the hardware. There isn’t hardly anything being done in current gen games that wasn’t already done last gen. Hell there are games from the beginning of last gen that still compare favorably in terms of visual fidelity. That hasn’t ever happened in previous generations.
@@Wobbothe3rd Not really. Console hardware being "underpowered" is just a byproduct of them not being able to keep up with PC hardware, which can easily be upgrade every year, unlike with console generations.
When the PS5 and Series X came out, they were equal to RTX 2080's in terms of GPU performance, which was faster than 90% of ALL gaming PC's at the time, when everyone was still using GTX 1060/1070 or RTX 2060/2070.
I checked this out on PC and was BLOWN AWAY. What an incredible game!
If it didn't have the issues and better car models, this would be a worthy successor to Test Drive Unlimited, which was also set in Oahu.
Looks fun. Might scratch an itch that FH5 surprisingly didn't for me.
Funny enough same here. The last Forza Horizon I really loved was Forza Horizon 3. Hoping for a 6th episode in Japan, who knows... The Crew is a little bit worse when it comes to cars handling (I was hoping that they would focus on cars only this time but they kept their "car/boat/plane" stuff) but overall it's fun and that's all that matters.
progression in FH5 is shite... i was bored only 1 month later after its launch... then only played a bit in the later months, then dropped it at end.
When XSX/PS5 is a subpar dynamic 1440p you can't expect a 60fps mode on XSS. It would be 720p. Game looks horrible compared to Forza Horizon 5.
Forza was literally only optimized for Xbox it’s a first party game. But yeah I guess all the pop in and stuff on horizon 5 is so much better than this game. Not.
@@user-nn6ow3xt5o you think the pop-ins in Forza makes it worse than this unoptimized mess? Clueless...
@@vandammage1747 nah don’t forget about the fps drops in the tiny little cities they have on forza, but yeah you are gonna sit here and act like forza is wel optimized when it’s just as badly optimized at this is if not worse at launch and let’s not forget they’ve had two years to fix it while this game just came out. “CLueLeSS….”
@@user-nn6ow3xt5o you must be slow. Forza Horizon 5 was dynamic 4K60 at launch with better visuals than this.
That rendertarget alone is 2.25x more demanding. On top of that you have better assets, lighting, physics, everything. It's basically worlds apart yet you think it's the same🤣
No it doesn't lol it looks much better than horizon 5 on pc even at 1440p
I'm getting both this and Forza on the series X. This year had great games
after playing horizon 5 and this, I can confidently say that this game is better. The car mechanics, graphics, map, and just overall fun factor is much better in motorfest
🤔 Looks like a fun game
Nice the one I've been waiting for cheers lads
"A welcome gear change from the USA setting of the Crew 1 & 2" makes it sound like you don't realise Hawaii is in the USA. I assume that's not how you meant it, but that's how I heard it...

Graphics aren’t that good, but this game is a lot of fun.
4:44 performance mode seems to be turning parallax mapping off too.
This game is so gorgeous on PS5. Cars run and handle really well too. A great take on the Horizon series.
i'm really enjoying Motorfest. it's almost literally Forza Horizon, but actually has more variety in the way of bikes & planes, etc. all set in a wonderful location. it has graphical issues for me on Series X, occasional freezing, screen tearing, blurriness, etc. depending on mode choice, but it's still a lot of fun. i do wish there were an offline mode like Horizon, as i feel that would greatly reduce the technical issues the game has.
I truly find no fun in any of those types of games. Online multiplayer and games-as-a-DISservice garbage are a bore an waste to me
Since Forza Motorsport doesn't ship for the One X and I don't have the Series X and don't want the Seties S, plus the game is not really that good, I'll gladly settle for Motorfest on my Project Scorpio. 😉😎
You know.... Hawaii is part of the USA LOL
"the new backdrop is a welcome gear shift from the USA setting of The Crew 1 and 2" ... it takes place in Hawaii... lol I still get the sentiment though. It's not like Hawaii should be a US state anyway.
I feel like a 120hz 40fps would be perfect
The resolution high quality move looks to be a mess on the series x, but smoth on the ps5..
Microsoft has already said there will no pro version console this generation. Only God and AI upscaling can save the series s
This just isn't Optimized a person with common knowledge would say that. Take a look at Forza 5 that game is leaps ahead of this but yet it runs 60ps on series s
Series S' GPU is very small. It doesn't have enough DP4a units to run any meaningful AI upscaling or AI in general. Series S is probably the main reason why DirectML upscaling was never implemented by Microsoft.
@JaimeIsJaime the GPU isn't the problem the real problem is the RAM issue as many developers said
@@kenroyforrester156 Sure RAM is an issue in game developing. But that is only a part of the limitations Series S has (the biggest one but absolutely not the only one). I am talking about what the original comment said about AI upscaling saving series S. It can not. AI upscaling relies heavily in GPU compute because it is tied to the amount of DP4a units the GPU has. Consoles don't have matrix accelerator units (Tensor cores on Nvidia GPUs/XMX cores on Intel GPUs) so the only way to do AI somewhat efficiently is using the DP4a instructions. The least amount of DP4a units available in the GPU the highest the performance hit of running AI upscaling algorithms.
An AI upscaling algorithm would probably run pretty decently in Series X hardware but can easily go beyond diminishing returns in a small GPU like the one Series S has due to the measly 4TF of Compute. And that is assuming the AI algorithm doesn't interfere with the small amount of RAM/Bandwith Series S has.
This highlights how underpowered modern consoles are. If you can't hold a solid 60fps 100% of the time in 2023, then it's a no-go for me.
Great Video!
0:51 Technically this game did not "change from the USA setting" ;)
Soo wait. On an Xbox one x It can run multiple other racing games that look better and run at a locked 4k 60fps but then theirs this game on current gen consoles that looks worse and can’t maintain a locked or even dynamic 4k 60fps? And even then it’s using FSR meaning internally it’s likely 1080p? And people aren’t calling this out? These lazy developers need to be acknowledged we paid hundreds for these consoles. I’m not supporting this. If they put it on Xbox one x now what… would it run at 540p because lack of fsr?? I’m dead.
