impressive pro upgrade combining fidelity and performance modes from base consoles into a single mode , uses PSSR
base versions are good as well
series-s locked to 30 fps , prone to fps drops
ps5 and series-x offer 30 fps fidelity and 60 fps performance modes , base ps5 and pro offer more consistent framerates
series-x drops below 60 in swamp area compared to ps5 version , foliage lod bugged in series-x

I knew it was a Tom video when I saw the title. He just has a very specific way of naming things.

Awful jittery ssr even on pro... the state of devs 2025
At least the pro removes stupid mode but even then would be cool if 60fps was a toggle to unlock instead of using vrr system settings to do so.
One might want to be locked to 60 and still enjoy vrr for the dips?

Oh and there is gear clipping through the back shields just like in ac shadows trailer... but I doubt anyone will point it out here.
The flickering lights and models look bad too.
Shadows updating at a lower fps
cows appearing 10 meters from you with no fade in, low lod or nothing. just teleport.
meh....

Good stuff, Pro version is without a doubt the best one (maybe pure FPS chasers would prefer standard PS5 settings option to reach ~90-100FPS).

Weird to see SX under perform in game with this amount of foliage, memory BW is higher than on PS5 (but probably something else bottlenecks it).

The whole splitted Ram setup, the lower GPU clocks.

Also don't forget that PS5 has lots of dedicated hardware that offloads and streamline alot of the workloads on both GPU and CPU.

When even the base console beats "the most powerful console".

They lose on console ports. They lose their exclusives

Honestly, I feel bad for them at this level.
It's like PS3 gen without PlayStation Studios and games.

Could be. Also MS basically abandoned this console so I doubt SDK is as good as it could be + developers probably don't care that much about machine with install base like SX - SS has higher amount of users...

MS fucked up this console badly, starting with bullshit marketing that hurt them even on day 1.

I would play this at 30fps to get around the ugly pop-in if I only had a console, KCD is so slow that it really doesn't matter. Pro owners get a great experience and the fact that it runs this well makes me optimistic for the PC version.

Awesome on PS5. My pro is ready. I'm playing the first one right now. Only 30fps but runs well without any bugs. Loving it so far and can't stop paying it. Will preorder this and play it back 2 back.

Wow good performance especially on PS5 especially on Ps5 pro. But Im happy the base Ps5 also performed well. I might buy this game despite some small controversy which I hope is not noticeable or forced and I hope it can be skippable and not important part of the story. (Off topic: The good performance of the game on Ps5 gives us hope for GTA6 will run 60fps even at 4K.)

Indiana was in development for years now, same is true for many games that will release this year or next + all of those games are on PC as well. They don't even produce these consoles in any decent quantity:


I guess they are preparing for early next gen launch (X360 style, one year before Sony) in 2026. But with current people in charge they will fuck it up...

while they did, it is clear they don't care about its prestige anymore

when sony ports their spiderman game to PC, they call their lackluster horrible looking ray traced reflections "high" on PC
indiana jones runs ray traced global illumination in series x with a setting that does not even exist on PC and actually looks worse than the low option

xbox and its studios are just weird at this point
