I love that your channel is Xbox Series S focused, a lot of other channels are more Xbox Series X focused. I have a Series X but the S still packs a punch and I like to see how these games hold up on the Series S by checking out your channel. I plan on buying an S for the bedroom soon.
I have a ps5 and xbox series S and man the S is a little beast just shows it can handle games like flight simulator and how beautiful forza is too... I'm most probably gunna get the x next year when there available
Hey Maurice are you sure about 1440p, unless they lied (which has happened before to undersell) they said it would be 1080p for both modes and 4k for both modes on X
I booted up FH5 on my Series S just last night in the Graphics Mode …and WOW, I was not expecting it to look SO good!!! Absolutely gorgeous game …personally, I’m not critical on FPS so I’ll keep it on the Graphics Mode cause man, it’s stunning
It’s absolutely crazy for me I came from playing Xbox 360 up until late 2021 and I’m about to upgrade to the series S I can’t imagine how good it will feel to finally have a new console
I just sold my One X and bought the Series S. I am a Gamepass Ultimate member and purchased the Premium Addon Bundle and the game is amazing so far. Thanks for the video from a new subscriber.
I had a Series X I sold it... I know I know LOL recently got a Series S and I love you're content and I love the little console that could...only reason I sold my Series X was because I have a pretty beefy PC I got the Series S from a friend for $200 I couldn't go wrong...thanks again Maurice for the GREAT content!!!
Not only do they have 60fps, it seems they did something right with the 30fps mode.. it feels smoother compared to other games. The fact that the perspective is fixed behind the car also helps smoothen the frames.
I think it was Digital Foundry that said they used a technique that makes the 30FPS mode seems a lot smoother/faster. Also helps that you have to restart game to make changes. That way you cant feel the difference right away haha
@@brejkjaneck8629 I agree. I tried the performance mode first then I tried the quality mode. The quality mode felt like a slide show and it gave me a headache. The performance mode looks great while maintaining a locked 60FPS.
this is probably the best optimized game for series s that's out there right now. And i really appreciate how you test out content only on the series S man
Man I also have a series s I'm really happy to see that you are testing games with this console because most of the TH-camrs are testing games with series x or ps5.
Just had a blast!! Quality mode is gorgeous!! Plays very well.... But then I tried performance mode... And once you taste those 60fps it's hard to go back even with a few graphical drops. Game is Absoloutley game of the year
For some reason, this game reminds me of the arcade racers that I used to go play at the arcade and pump quarter after quarter to keep playing. It's like a Modern day legit arcade racer
I’ve been playing FH5 on PC (I7-8700K - 1080Ti - 16GB DDR4 Ram, etc.) 1440p “Extreme” pre set @ 60-90fps and LOVE the game definitely worth getting. Seriously considering getting a Series S to hook up in my living room. For the money the Series S I think is just about perfect and now with FH5 it’s that much more appealing. 1080p@60fps still looks very nice!
@kurumi chan Oh okay, so from what I understand the Series S should be able to run FH5 @120fps (1080p) although likely not a LOCKED 120fps but more like 60-120fps depending on load. Regardless, 60fps is still perfectly playable / enjoyable for FH5 so the Series S should be pretty ideal for the game IMO. Personally this is how I'd play it (locked at 60fps) if I had the Series S. The Series S is a pretty damn decent deal IMO.
Ray tracing is in both series s and x, but only in forzavista mode, this is true for both the S and X when running quality mode. Just a friendly reminder 😉
Its impressing how good forza looks on this little console. I've heard some people complain about the game purposely lowering the resolution down to 810p just to allow that high frame rate...is this actually true? Or is it just some rare cases? Cause I don't see such issue in this video.
great video! FH5 just got finished downloading on my xbox series s and i wanted to see how it looks before i actually play it because i cant right now im at school but wow! it looks really good im very excited ! 👍🏻😁
I got a series s a week ago and decided to play horizon 4 first because I don’t want to miss out on that. And I’m afraid I would skip it if I would play this right now. But it is so tempting. Gamepass has so many amazing games. It’s overwhelming
I think THIS and bf2042 are the start of seeing why the series s really is more powerful then the one x for those who doubt it. The old jaguar cpu on the one x is why it runs at 30 on the one x, and bf 2042 on the one x is also only 64 players
I advise to play Marvel's avengers assemble in 4k screen 60 fps- the world is so beautiful- crystal dynamic works in this visual quality as in Lara croft: shadow of the tomb raider.
I think upgrading from a One S to a One S will be cool. A Series S can start up even from the energy saver mode in about 20 seconds, and for One S ir takes about 1 minute and 13 seconds even on the faster startup mode... and it's kinda surprising how Series S can move around FH5 faster than the X...
During the pandemic i had to sell my Xbox series X to catch up on rent 😭 2 months later i had spare cash and couldn't find the console so i bought a series S with the 500GB SSD drive and i fell in love with this console that i bought second One for my son and I ❤️❤️
Hey, Maurice! Could you make a longer gameplay with the 30FPS quality option? IMO the 30FPS gameplay was a little bit short in this video which means that you probably prefer more the 60FPS mode. Can’t blame you😁
There is ray tracing on series s, most people get that wrong so it’s understandable but yeah there’s ray tracing, for sure. But I do notice ray tracing is what will drop your performance more then any other aspect.
Game looks amazing , I can’t believe it’s free on game pass ! And it runs so good on series s . bedankt Maurice voor het laten zien✌️🙏 Mexico here we come ! Vamos a la playa A mi me gusta bailar El ritmo de la noche Sounds of fiesta 😝
@Z S small cost compared to what a full game costs. A new game that is not on game pass costs like 80 euros or something Game pass is 4 euros a month and you get a lot of content .
Looks very good on series S. I would have bought XSX but I guess they will be available only late 2022 so had to go with XSS. But happy with that one too.
I actually didn't find much difference in 30 and 60 fps but the resolution difference was very visible. Its just beautiful in 2k, really 300$ is every penny worth on this device
I've just watched this video and have to say you did a great job at showcasing it on the Series S so much so that I've just ordered one from Amazon with a three month game pass ultimate as I'm guessing I'll need xbox live to play this game or can I play it without Xbox live anyway I've now subscribed to your channel and hope to see more Series s optimised games.
The fact that Xbox series x has raytracing isn’t much of a big deal because for a doesn’t have much raytracing implemented anyway. Only reflections usually smaller that you won’t notice 😊
Hey man just some food for thought. I get that you prefer fps but a lot of people prefer resolution over fps. I'm one that loves a great looking game so maybe if you do a 10 minute video show 5 minutes of gameplay of 1440p and the other 5 minutes show 1080p, I notice on the games you upload you always go to fps setting too quick, show both to have an even balance.
It's 1440p in both modes mate the same way the series x is 4k In both modes it's just the graphics that change and there is ray tracing on the series s in forzavista
Wow this game on performance mode actually looks really good. I have the Xbox One X n Series s, not sure which one to download it on. What would u recommend I dont care about load times, just graphics n gameplay. Idk I can't imagine it looking that much better on the one x.
One X has the same graphics of Series S performance mode, the difference is it runs tha game at 4K (not native) and at 30 fps, while SS 60fps at 1080p. Series S can run the game in quality mode at 2K 30fps, but better graphics.
And EA can't optimize fifa 22 to run at 1440p lol. This game just proves that devs are lazy. The console is more than capable to run most games at solid fps and resolution.
