Sea of Thieves Goes Multi-Plat: PS5 and Xbox Series X/S Tested!

Рет қаралды 91,888

Күн бұрын

Sea of Thieves is coming to PlayStation 5 and with a beta test running last weekend, we had a chance to take look at the near-final build for the Sony console, to see how it looks and runs compared to Xbox Series X. And as we never covered the Series-native upgrade for Microsoft consoles, this was a good time to check that out too - and there are even some Xbox One X/PC head-to-heads in there too.

Sea of Thieves actually does have screen space reflections (at least on PC, no idea about consoles) but they only appear on the raising and lowering water surface inside of ocean shrines. There is no cubemap or other reflection fallback for some reason, so its looks pretty bad when compared to the water rendering in the rest of game.

Sill waiting for DF to detail why the differences in PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series game development causes the Xbox version of titles to (more often than not) be the inferior version. Interview developers and collate their experiences. Look into the architectural, and SDK differences. Ollie says he's surprised that the PS5 version of SoT is running better than on Series X, but the real surprise is why DF (3.5 years into the gen) haven't made a video on the subject of why this is the common rule in multi-plat releases (or maybe I missed it).

"Pretty decent looking game" kind of feels like an understatement... It might not have all the most modern tech & features baked into it, but the game's visual direction looks really good anyway. Skull & Bones might have more going on with its waves & ocean, but it doesn't end up looking as good overall.

Okay this needs to be known, I went and compared the visuals on my Series X to what DF is showing. DF is showing the Xbox on 120 Hz mode, especially shadows, when it’s on 60 it matches up with crispness. When you switch from 60 to 120 plants are removed and changed randomly, I switched back and forth from 60 to 120 to 60 and so on and and the background I saw different grass popping in and out. After switching half a dozen times I got there to be no plants at the 1:00 mark they show. So either DF is ignorant to this or purposely trying to get people to argue for engagement

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be optimistic about the server stutter being fixed, it's been an issue for a very long time and one of the community's biggest complaints is server performance in general. To be fair on Rare, the game uses a lot of resources to simulate the waves and physics on them, as well as the loot that players tend to hoard. There are also some issues with the EAC implementation on PC that will hopefully be ironed out in the next update (Season 12, April 30th, same day as PS5 release). At the moment, it's not configured correctly and causing problems for some legit players trying to launch the game on Windows 11, especially. And it's not actually stopping cheaters as a result.

Sea of Thieves is a VERY CPU bound game when on bigger islands and outposts. Some of this was mitigated with the release of the UE 4.27 or "GDK" version of the game which has a DX12 renderer with Multithreaded rendering option.

@vandammage1747 Ай бұрын

Not true, if it was cpu bound xbox one wouldn't manage stable 30fps on jaguar cpu. XSX cpu is many times faster, more than 4X faster.

@StyliMusic Ай бұрын

GDK has helped with multithreading indeed. Previously it seemed to only saturate a couple of cores and was extremely CPU bound. Now, it seems to utilise a lot more cores and more efficiently. Previously it was also culling a lot of LODs rapidly, which was over-working the CPU as it tried to swap assets in and out of memory far too often, which resulted in drops. There are still a few heavier areas (such as around Port Merrick or the Monkey Island Tall Tale) but the game is generally better optimised since the switch to GDK. While traversal stutter is also still a problem around some islands, the stutter and drops that Oliver experienced in the video are most likely network related. Something we've complained about for years, and it's unlikely to be completely smoothed out entirely.

@squall116 Ай бұрын

@@Spartan_83 Dd2 runs better but with lower settings in graphics maybe by a bug like Valhalla that was later patched. The point is df was shouting through the roofs about the power difference and the terraflops and after 3 years they still don't get it that ps5 has advantages in some areas like bandwidth and texture fill rate. We never had a generation with the both consoles so close to each other in performance

@Spartan_83 Ай бұрын

@@squall116 Aw2 was also running at a higher framerate and PP was keeping a steadier 120fps on SX than PS5 and the SSD speed isn't that big of a difference. I agree that the difference isn't much but some games on SX have 20% more performance than PS5. Hitman 3 was hitting 4k and higher shadow quality on SX while PS5 was doing 1800p and med shadow quality. I own both consoles and they both have their cons and pros. I belive it was DF that said DD2 has a slightly better framerate because of the SX CPU being a little more powerful and it's a CPU-bound game.
