@@Ahakartune it's this one is particular, not all games, some devs forget to disable dev mode from being accessed.

It is not true that "on average PS5 comes out on top". I recently checked over the last year+ of DF content and indeed, Xbox clears more often than PS5 when there's a difference. There have been notable examples to the contrary of course, and they get all the attention, but those are almost always patched up to parity or even Xbox superiority. It seems because of PS5 being the market leader, multiplat titles are sometimes optimized for that machine first and foremost to make launch, and then Xbox gets patched later. There's a logic to that, even if it's lame for Xbox gamers. And this is to say nothing of Sony's marketing deals, parity clauses, extra developers, etc which may also be at play. Series X remains, and will continue to be, the superior hardware, however.

people being frequently tricked into thinking planar reflections or baked-in solutions have some sort of RT tech going pretty much proofs that RT is more about providing consistent results and easing development than providing significant better graphics.

@@matthias6933 Trouble is no devs use planar now so RT is all we have usually for the good stuff. Lighting and GI and AO need RT for sure to look great. RT shadows are hit and miss but alright I guess.

It looks alright. Certainly nothing special.

​@@matthias6933RT can provide significantly better graphics, but the way it's used now in most games, it doesn't. Metro Exodus is an example of a game significantly changed with its use of RT.

I'm personally over ray tracing ATM. It only hurts resolution and performance and you can barely notice the difference.

And they have 4 expansions on the way.

I won't disagree with anything you said, although for nearly $1000 US a complete PSVR2 setup better be nothing short of amazing. What I would like for DF to do is investigate why games are still coming out on Series X in a subpar fashion. Is it down to the *tools* still, or the way the memory/bandwidth was designed, or is it simply that no developers, especially with these cross-generation games, are using the features of the hardware, like SFS, VRS and a huge one in my mind DirectStorage? If this game is really down to I/O issues on Series hardware and they are not using DirectStorage, then that could be the issue. I've read that DirectStorage will save a lot of CPU cycles. I think this would be a great DF content piece, and they should go directly to developers and Microsoft for the answer, it is not a secret that games release in a poor state, just to be patched a few weeks later especially on Series X

@@davidandrew6855 I've heard a few theories regarding this situation. I think that Xbox having two SKUs vs only one on the PS5 hurts the optimisation. Another theory blames the DX12 Api. The split memory setup, as you mentioned, could also be a culprit. I think the PS5's easier GDK and higher popularity forces devs to optimise for the PS5's lower CU count, where it's faster clock speed gives it an immediate performance boost. And PSVR2 IS amazing. Most headsets that can compete with it go for 1500$ alone. Pavlov's developer says the PS5 outperforms a PC rig with a 3090ti by 10% thanks to its foveated rendering.

@@RandomGamingMoments925 Having two consoles with differing performance profiles certainly will add to the optimization load, but I don't think it is the answer for some of these games performing so badly on Series X, or released with obvious bugs that should never get through a decent Q/A department. It could be DX12, but I would hope not, and if so, what can be done about it, as I have seen similar issues on PC with the same titles also using DX12. Microsoft really needs to step up here, I think this is really a bad showing for them. I also think the design of the PS5 is better in some instances, and I like the higher clock speed of the PS5. IMO, Microsoft should have had the Series X and S both at 2Ghz, I know it is easier said than done, but these systems are clocked to slow for my taste, although I'm still very impressed with titles that are actually optimized on the Series S, the performance there is very impressive considering the price point and size of the console. As for the Series X, I think they should have gone with a 40CU count part, like they did with the One X, and that should have been clocked at least at 2.2Ghz, and the split memory bandwidths, I'm not sure how much of an issue that is for a competent dev but seems like 16GB of 560GBs memory bandwidth would have been better. But then what do I know, I'm not a hardware engineer. I'm not much of a VR fan at the moment, but it is good to see Sony continuing to push VR. Maybe this will make Microsoft rethink its strategy there, as competition in that space on console would be interesting.

Its awful, STALKER looked better than this a decade ago.

imagine if this was made with unreal engine 5.1 instead of v4.x. Hopefully they will make a sequel with v5.x and will improve things based on feedback from gamers.

Developers laziness

the plot was simply written by 5 year old

YES i am glad someone mentioned the plot , i think its because of all the made up words and weird translation that i often time would just not know why i was doing what i was doing in the story especially as they tend to enjoy exposition dumping while you are in the middle of a fight or concentrating on a puzzle

@@AndyHDGaming It's ok but doesn't get close to something like Elden Ring. If your GPU can handle it, do DLDSR to DLSS for better picture quality than TAA.

This isn't TAA, it's TAAU.

DLSS2 is better than TAAU, but TAAU is card agnostic.

Exactly! I usually hate TAA cos it blurs everything while moving, but this game makes it look as good as DLAA!

Ikr? It's so bizarre

IMO, it comes down to optimization and features not being utilized. The PS5 is arguably the better designed hardware, from the SSD and I/O complex etc. to the cache scrubbers on the GPU, etc. I also think that a lot of games do not leverage the Series hardware to the same degree, for this game if DirectStorage was not used, then that could contribute to some of the performance issues, as that can save considerably on the CPU resources. I think it will take the 1st party Microsoft titles to really show how performant the Series hardware is, especially Series X.

@@davidandrew6855 split memory also dont help either.

@@blackwidow7804 I agree that it is a weird concept, they should have just bit the bullet and went with 16GB of the 560GBs memory. But I think that is the least of the Series hardware issues. I personally feel it is clocked way to slow, RDNA2 hardware runs fast, and Series X should have as well. That 52CU part should be at least 2Ghz, and which would uplift pixel and texel throughput as well.

Other than the assets on screen. It looks like any other unreal engine 5 game that isn't straying too far away from the stock presets. I'll probably get it on sale most games anyways aren't worth the initial asking price.

@@MrIndiemusic101 its UE4 game :)

Pretty much in the same boat, especially since I still have other games to finish I'm not in a rush to jump in immediately. It is absolute bizzare that it doesn't have RT at launch. They've had footage of it using RT for years at this point plus it has frame gen which came out far more recently. Really curious what's going on behind the scenes there. I guess if the choice was between finishing the game up or properly finishing implementing RT for launch then I suppose they probably made the right choice, it's just weird this wasn't communicated at all pre launch when they've been hyping up the RT for ages.

It has so much headroom for full RT implementation too...I'm getting crazy fps on my 4080 3440x1440 maxed out, no DLSS either (TAA looks better). Like why do they have frame gen when all the 40 series cards destroy this game?

I'll tell you exactly why they removed RT. It must have been performing badly on consoles due to a variety of implementation and/or optimization issues so they decided to axe it at the last second. Now we all know that console companies don't like it when the PC version looks better than the console version and there have been instances in the past where the devs are forced to make downgrades universally even thought PCs could run the better looking version of the game. So they were most probably bound by contract and had to remove RT on the PC too along with consoles till they add it back to consoles.

I think that something must've happened with the RTX soon or right before launch because aside from that showcase from years ago, it does have the other RTX related features like DLSS and Reflex

@@funtourhawk Yeah true! I have a 4080 too and i'm playing on 1440p getting around 250 to 300 fps in internal spaces with DLSS 3 on and without DLSS 2 but with everything maxed haha. Hitting the CPU limit most probably since I have a 11600k. The optimization on this game is insane compared to games like Hogwarts Legacy (which I love) but can't really completely enjoy when every turn in Hogsmeade and everywhere outside and some places inside Hogwarts are stuttery, even on top end hardware. I get like 80 to 120 fps WITH DLSS 3 there. It's really bad.

Agreed, when I booted the game up for the first time on my Series X, I immediately noticed that while the art style was gorgeous the game somehow looked very flat, but couldn't quite put my finger on why that is.

I don't mind some visual things, I'm pretty good about keeping myself immersed even with bugs.

I appreciate knowing the strengths and weaknesses of a game's technical presentation whether I notice it or not(I didn't notice the lack of shadowing in the open world area for example).

@@FFTM155 its more problem of engine UE4 here, ps5 definitly perform better on UE4

It is more than just numbers and you have some of them incorrect, like CUs, it is 52 for Series X and 36 for PS5, or that not all of the memory bandwidth is 560 GB/s for Series X, that is only for the GPU optimal memory, the other 6GB is only 336 GB/s. I know it doesn't work this way exactly but if you average out the memory bandwidth for the Series X it is 448GB as well. Look you can state all the numbers you want, doesn't mean anything if developers are not using the features. Besides the fact that the PS5 is clocked 22% faster on the GPU side of things, negates to a great degree the wider but much slower GPU On the Series X. I'm beginning to wonder if items such as SFS, and DS will even be used by anyone other than Microsoft 1st party. I expect those 2 features will be the two that provide the most performance increases, followed by VRS. Would be a shame if devs don't take advantage of Series hardware. It seems Cerny and team got somethings right with their implementation of the I/O complex, including those I/O coprocessors, coherency engines and then the cache scrubbers on the GPU side. All of this is supposedly invisible to the developers, no need to deep program that from what I understand. I'm not saying the Series X isn't technically as robust and just a performant, but perhaps Microsoft has made it too time consuming and tedious to extract the same performance out of the Series X as the PS5, in the same amount of given development time.

Nobody cares how the pirated version of the game runs bozo

The final build has an explicit shader compilation step. It's not 100% perfect, but way better than any other UE4 engine game besides GoW.
