The RE Engine is really Capcom's greatest achievement in the last and current generation.

Wow. Capcom really outdid themselves with this port on the newer consoles. I play on PC, but seeing a good list of graphics toggles on consoles to tailor your experience needs to be implemented in more games ASAP. Good vid as always DF

Yes! I was hoping you guys would cover the Rise console Ports! Before i watch the video, my testing on the Series X gave me the impression that capcom gave us a completely unlocked framerate, with the presets simply adjusting the settings accordingly. I used the performance preset, increased image quality to 100%, texture filtering on high, shadows medium, enabled high resolution textures, and am averaging 90-120 fps on the lg c1 with freesync vrr providing a smooth refresh. Update: after watching the video, i will add on to the analysis by saying that ambient occlusion heavily impacts the framerate. Im sure if you use graphics mode preset and simply disable ambient occlusion, disable dynamic shadows, and lower shadows to medium you can keep the 4.8K resolution and retain 60 fps easily and then some.

I saw those graphics options yesterday and got really excited hoping you guys would have something for it!

I wanna see how the last gen machines hold up now and what resolutions and fps they target

I would like to see graphics options like this become more common on console games, I think vrr has given devs more confidence in letting the player customise thier experance

I feel like the highly customisable graphics settings menu should be a option on most games

Great video but shame you didn't also cover the advanced graphics option, a lot of tweaking can be done from in this menu (except dynamic shadows which can only be turned on or off at the title screen) It would of been interesting to see what results we get when we individually tweak these options

The load times on current-gen are hella fast, goddamn. Imagine MH6 being made with these load speeds in mind. And thank god the PS5 version has gyro aiming. That single-handedly made bows viable for me.

I wonder if Graphics mode would give a locked 60fps if you set the image quality to 100% rather than 125%, or even somewhere inbetween if it's available.

Capcom are killing it with current gen consoles. Recently played re2 and 3 remakes after the patches and they are such great games

Have you guys tested default mode on ps5 with all the other settings at max, with the exception of motion blur. Will it still hit solid 60fps?

One of my favorite games of all time. 800+ hours on Switch OLED, and I still play Sunbreak to this day in the office in tabletop mode. Don't skip this game!

Very impressive range of options in this game, glad to see it.

“It’s a bit of a surprise with the Xbox’s on paper teraflop advantage”. You guys should do a video specifically dispelling the “on paper teraflop” metric myth when it comes to other variables. You could use the 4 teraflop Xbox Series S and PS4 Pro as the example….you could even call the video “4TF Console Face-off Xbox Series S vs PlayStation 4 Pro: Elden Ring, Cyberpunk,…….”🙄 It’s like one step forward two steps backwards with you guys.

I was quite surprised how good this game looked booting it up on gamepass. Unlocked framerate with great performance? Decent HDR? High resolution? I call that a good port. Keep in mind that with a VRR display, you will be getting 100+ FPS with the default graphics mode. Default is definitely the way to go.

Graphics preset + 100% res runs at 100-120, with VRR it's great.

What a great breakdown of everything!!!!! Impressive guys!

Can you knock the image quality down to 100% in the graphics mode to hit the 60fps? rather than changing to default mode and losing the higher shadow quality?

What a concise and enjoyable comparison. Tomas is always one of the best voices to listen to

I'm really glad Capcom opened up with putting this game on multiple console. Bought this game on switch and really wanted to see how this game would perform on a more powerful console.

Love Tom's reviews! He is the best reviewer in the D.F. team! His style and details described are the best, and he has a great voice in commentary!

The load times being instant for a game like this is absolutely amazing

Thanks Alex, actually at 14:04 you could mention that another solution if you want stable 60fps in Graphics Mode, is to just decrease Image Quality to 100% from 125% and voila. Kudos to everyone who notices the resolution drop on 4k TV. I can't.

Was waiting for this video. Digital foundry undoubtedly is the best technical game reviewer.

I hope they make a physical version when the dlc is out.

Great video DF. Playing MH: Rise on the Switch was very enjoyable indeed and Looked n Played fantastically well plus Playing it on the Go is awesome also. MH: Rise on the New Systems Looks and Plays brilliantly, i would probably go for 4K/60fps Default on the PS5 and 1440p/60fps Default on the Series S for that Smoother Gameplay Overall especially for that First Playthrough but that 120fps Mode does look Fun tho and the Extra Graphics Mode looks amazing. Would like too see a Video like this on No More Heroes 3, if you haven't already done one that is guys.

Always lovely to hear Tom. My favourite member of DF after Rich.

This is an excellent demonstration of cores v clocks. Great video!

It's cool to see this game being ported to PS5 and XSX|XSS and it's cool to see they did a good job with the port. It's just unfortunate that the game isn't cross platform play and cross progression. If they would have had this, this could have been something I'd be playing all the time with my larger group of friends. But because of that, the friends who wanted to play with and join my friends core MH group that started back on Switch, can't. It really sucks. I really wish they'd make these games with cross platform play being the center of attention in terms of multiplayer.

Hey Tom any word on last gen version

Went to do comparisons vs PC but interestingly the "image quality" option on PC has no 125% option, it goes 100% then 150%. Seemed to run around 160fps at 150% image quality at 4k in the snow area at 17:26 where the Ps5 is 65fps and the Xbox is 59fps. That's running a 4080 and 5800x, what's nice to see is that PC now also has DLSS and DLAA, glad to see Capcom embracing a lot of technical aspects on every platform.

It's still remarkable how amazing this looks for a Switch game. Capcom basically put out the best looking "realistic" style visuals on Switch with this game. Crazy how a game targeting simplistic, anime visuals with almost no environmental details/textures, low draw distance, reduced frame rate animations everywhere, and sparsely populated world like Pokemon still feels like it's running in slow motion... And even though MH Rise is popular, it's not Pokemon-level popular. Wish Capcom would be tasked to develop the next spin-off/side game like Pokemon Legends. In the meantime, I'm downloading MH Rise from Game Pass on PC right now. Can't wait! 😁

It really does highlight how poor the graphics/performance of Pokémon Scarlett/violet in comparison to what capcom achieved on the switch with Monster Hunter Rise.

Great video! Looking fists to seeing this title used as a benchmark for composing console to pc

Anyone else noticed those odd green frames that caused the PS5 video capture to flicker from time to time in the comparison from 16:55 onwards?

I got it running so good and 60+fps by keeping the image quality at 100% , high res textures on , texture filtering on , ambient occlusion on , shadow quality high foliage sway on AND all the rest filters , dynamic shadows and DOF and film grain is OFF

While the graphics aren’t exactly impressive, the graphics settings and instant loading definitely are. I love the effort Capcom’s been making lately.

Great video! A lot of interesting options. Did any of you experience screen tearing on the Series S version? I'm getting it on all graphics settings.

Hope the information for the last generation systems comes out still. Curious also about the PS4 version played on PS5 and what differences, advantages, and disadvantages it has. Also just curious how it plays on OG Xbox One and PS4.

Wow, I don't remember when I saw PC style graphics customization options on consoles before...

And the PS4, Xbox One VCR, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, and PS4 Pro?

Could the graphics modes sub 60 frame rate on Xbox series S be saved by VRR or does it drop too many frames?

I hope after doing the prior-gen hardware comparisons. DF does the recent ports of P3P and P4 Golden. As I've seen some technical "issues" with the AI upscaling used by Atlus for both ports, the sound compression in P3P, etc. So would like any at DF who perhaps like Persona to do a full breakdown of the pros, cons, and decisions used to port these two games for other systems.

Kudos to Capcom for going the extra mile here and providing this level of customization. If it was not already apparent from the Switch version, it now definitely is: They have quite the mastery over their current technology. Fellow companies like Square Enix should take notice :D

It's cool that Capcom still takes some pride in the upkeep of a strong, competitive in-house game engine, as so many other devs are now bouncing to UE5.

How to do toggle graphic settings on Xbox series X, it was stuck on presets last night.

With 120hz display and vrr, i think the best mode its graphics with resolution at 100%. What do you think ?

All console games should have these graphics settings options.

Capcom did great in getting the game to look that good on Switch. I mean a casual user might not even notice much of a difference between that version and the current gen consoles.

Is this the first console game with Pc like graphics settings? Can’t think of any others off my head

What I dont think I'll ever understand is how the 60fps cap on graphics mode has 50-60 frames and the 120fps cap on graphics mode has 60-80 frames.. Are they the same exact settings on both?

I love seeing that they actually exposed all the PC settings and allow you to individually adjust them while still offering the presets. This is something I'd love to see in more games on console with the presets plus customizable settings like PC

Clearly playing in PS5 graphics mode, just putting scale to 100% should be the best mode to play

Thanks for the vid!!!

what is the song at the beginning?

Jesus that's impressive. When I saw there was a native 4k mode alone I thought that was 30fps but it was the 60fps mode 😂 and even the 2700p mode targets 60. What would you get with 30fps? 6k?

Runs fine on ps5 love the game

would like to see the windows version of the game. i wanna know if its just a copy paste version of steam and what controllers does it support

Tom, you’ve made us all very happy. Outstanding report

A nice upgrade over the Switch, and the advanced graphics options are great to see - shame it's once _again_ a game I won't buy a second copy of, because Capcom can't be bothered to just put in cross-save in new MH titles. It looks amazing, but not "start over and abandon 200 hours of Switch progress" amazing

While not my jam, I'm impressed with the pc like settings, would be cool to see more of this on other games too.

I'll be very interested to see how the last gen machines hold up in this game given what we've seen here on the current gen machines and Switch. The RE Engine (along with Capcom's devs) is really an amazing thing to be able to pull off one of the best looking and running Switch titles and then to scale the game up so beautifully to current gen consoles. However, given the minor struggles seen by the Xbox Series consoles in comparison to the PS5 I wonder if this is a situation where it is simply easier to fully utilize all of the PS5s CUs running at their higher clock speeds as opposed to having more CUs but clocked lower? We seemingly saw a lot of this towards the beginning of the generation and then things kind of evened out but with this game seemingly being incredibly well-optimized and offering PC-like scaling on consoles that allow you to easily push the machines past simply locking smoothly at a framerate it seems like this may be the case. I'll be interested if any current-gen only RE Engine titles offer scaling features like these so that this hypothesis can be better tested when the least common denominator is the Series S and NOT the Nintendo Switch. Actually, I think Street Fighter 6 is going to be on the PS4 but NOT on the Xbox One so maybe that'll be an interesting case to examine.

for regular console players how do you tell or display the FPS. can you only do it with a specific set up or equipment?

I hope all games are like this in the future (especially SFVI and Tekken 8)

If the next MH game takes the best parts of World and Rise its gonna be a banger!

Does a display only capable of 1080p at 120hz, do that change the result in any ways, because of the lower resolution?

I'm surprised that more developers don't offer more advanced visual options to push the boat out for gamers that want that, it would be a big selling point to upgrade to a mid-gen console or next gen console, especially with backwards compatibility as the developers wouldn't have to do anything as the game would use the extra power, just like how it is on the PC. It's the same on the Steam Deck, any game you buy on that, you can play at such a setting and when a more powerful Deck 2 is released, it will feel like you're getting a remastered version of a lot of games for free, but come to think of it, on consoles at least, some might want to market that as an optional paid extra, a bit like how Rockstar does it.

Seems like ps5 is starting to pull away in terms of power in comparison to xbox series x

Exactly what I was waiting for, I played MHR on S, PC and now XSX and I wanted to see the breakdown on settings for the series x. Another great video!

Wonder about unlocked frame rates on default settings

I wish all other games were approached like this. 60fps baseline. Customized sliders for other settings. We need to move completely beyond 30fps imo.

I was waitnig for this video! Coming from playing this on switch,i was blown away on how better it was on ps5. Even more than i expected

This is a best case scenario win on every platform. The engine is the star of the show here for sure. Im playing on a 120hz TV with VRR and ALLM modes along with Dolby Vision on the XSX. VRR takes care of any drops and I have not seen a frame drop yet that was noticeable. Graphics and performance are phenomenal. A friend I play with has an XSS as he doesnt game as much as I do and just wanted a current gen system to play on. I talked him into downloading this on Game Pass and he cant believe how good it looks and play either... whatever Capcom did with this engine, they did it right...

Thx a lot ! But which settings would be the best on PS5, I mean in advanced settings also. To get the best resolution and best FPS please.

Tom why is your audio / voice over always waay lauder than anyone else from DF? :D I always gotta lower the volume by 50% when you voice over

I'm very impressed with capcom and my PS5's performance more PC like ports like this should become the standard of current gen consoles with so many options and every mode framerate can be unlocked to target 120fps only the frame-rate mode needs higher settings on PS5 as their is enough GPU headroom 16:17

16:55 Extra teraflops Left the chat 🤣🤣🤣

So I can actually tell a difference when switching resolution between 100% and 125%. I didn’t think I’d be able to, but I can. Makes me wonder if eventually pushing resolutions past 4K may actually be worthwhile

4:17 what is causing this horrible shimmering/flickering?

What i plan to do is set it to the graphics mode and reduce the res from 4.8k doown to 4k, that should give it a solid 60fps

I'm still IN AWE from the lightning fast loading times and the pc-style graphic options. I can't imagine myself playing without the "Classic" filter wich makes the game so beautiful.

Wait are the shadows no longer dithered? O_o If so that's a huge plus, and I hope the Steam release follows suit.

That is so cool to see all those graphics options on consoles. I dunno, I'm a little torn. I worry that, if these options are widely adopted for console games, it might lead to devs spending less time/effort optimizing.

Fantastic game and franchise and great port with an effective engine and great optimisation 😊

Never seen a console game with so many options. Great port. RE engine does it again.

I love hearing Tom's voice in the review. He speaks very clearly so you can understand him. He explains the graphics mode as easy to understand as possible. I want to try Monster Hunter Rise one day. I love the upgrades the PS5 and Series X bring. 60 fps is far better than 30fps plus it has more settings.

The great thing about how the game is set up is how it is already good for whatever next-generation hardware for the next console cycle. Well if there is one and if there is backward compatibility comparable or better. My long about point is that if the next system for Playstation and Xbox comes it can probably run all maxed. So 4.8K 120FPS locked with high shadow quality. So it has a long life outside most Monster Hunter games being long-lived already. Still, play World from time to time and Tri for nostalgic reasons.

It seems that when Ray Tracing is not involved the PS5 consistently outperforms the Xbox series X console. This is a continuous thing as well. This goes to show that TFlops does not equate to theoretical gaming performance.

We need more of these options on other console games. Nice vid.

Everytime I see the capcom name, my mind is taken to the Goof Troop game and it`s load animations and music... pure nostalgia.

You should do something about the top end of your microphone when you edit the video. It sounds pretty grating!

So great to be able to play this at 60fps. Thanks Tom 👍

I love this game already

I don't like the internal resolution scaler, I prefer the linear decrease in resolution, except in the case of fsr or whatever, because the image remains sharper even though the interface may slightly suffer

I didn't even realize it was coming out on the other consoles. I already played it on switch. The only way I could double dip is if my save data could be shared to another platform. And preferably at a discount.

Got it on the PS5 and its incredible

My son's has been playing it on my XSX with all settings on high. VRR is always on, so I wasn't aware the frame rate was dropping, and have been happy with the performance. I'm not going to start a game myself, as I've put more than 300 hours into the Switch version. Although the game looks better on the XSX, I've been perfectly happy playing the game on the Switch, and nothing I've seen changes my mind.

While everyone is going back to World (UI is just too slow and clanky for me) I'm curious to see these Rise (way more streamlined) comparisons since I was on Switch when it first came out. My shiny new Series X will enjoy this Rise & Sunbreak now!

So what if i use Graphic mode on a 1080p 60hz screen? Does it still drop frames? On series X.
