I just don't see how the Series X can possibly compete going forward.

Once the geometry engine is patched in the PS5 will probably have around a 50% performance advantage, according to my calculations.


* this is sarcasm, btw, for the ironically challenged.

Going by this site, disclaimer is needed.
 
More I see about multiplat comparison and more series X seems the PS3 of the next generation. Of course porting are not remotely as bad were on PS3 but remove dedicate XDK it has been the most stupidish move MS could do for the new console.

I'm happy PS5 turns out to be this good. Not because I think it's more powerful but because it really show that TeraFlops doesn't mean shit. Now lets focus on what's really important, good games.

they run and look exactly the same, except for one exception: the parametric camera option runs locked at 60fps on PlayStation 5, but does drop frames on Series consoles. Thankfully, this is easily avoided by using other camera angles (and the parametric viewpoint isn't actually that great for gameplay).



lol

they are basically the same, no one uses the parametric viewpoint anyway.

Also, it looks more like a bug if it's only dropping in a certain camera angle.

Peak cope.

Those are GPU related drops. PS5 GPU is faster in fillrate, rasterization, etc.
 
This game looks so amazing, it almost makes me want to play a basketball game. But then I remember it's a fucking basketball game, and I go back to Demon's Souls.
 
At this point it just feels like karma quickly flipping off Xbox fanboys out of a moving car. It's not enough to make any real difference, but just enough to keep their hubris in check

One of the times, although I can usually easily tell, in the transition between real life footage and game footage, I got confused and thought the game footage was real life. That that could even happen is seriously impressive.

Haha yep impressive indeed. I did a double take when he snuck the actual footage in there then when it switched back it took a sec before something gave it away I was looking at the game again.

Series S use the same visual as PS5 & Series X.

Yes but 1080p to 4K res is a lot more pixels... Maybe the PS4 Pro at 1080p could be similar or the same as the Series S?
Anyway the S being 1080p and not 1440p like promised in some games... Even dynamic res down to 720p...

Its a trend honestly for ps5 edging out seriesx. Funny part was I remember few xbox guys on twitter were saying based on trailer 2 montus back thay ps5 is doing so badly. They celebrated a tad too quick 😅
 
Once again a great showing from both XSX and PS5 while the XSS is a bit shit.

You do have to wonder though, if the dev didn't have to waste their time and resources on the XSS, would that frame drop have been able to have been optimised out?

Ok, so the game is identical on both platforms.
Those saying ps5 has any advantage here WHEN ACTUALLY PLAYING the game, based on that video, are dillusional. The Cerny pics in every thread is getting old fast, maybe consider using it on a game where ps5 actually has a definitive advantage that doesn't amount to nothing when actually playing the game.
Sorry if that means you hardly ever get to be annoying and bitter console warriors.

That said, I have 2 questions:
Does the ps5 use the haptic trigger resistance for shooting? I know it says it uses the left trigger for bumping into people, etc, and fatigue.

2: Why does the animation look worse than last Gen? Transitions from one move to the next are disjointed. And why does it still look like a cartoon? I really wanted this game to look better on both systems.......
 
PS5 once again showing it's the best place to play multiplats.

But either way, Xbox is almost identical so Xbox owners shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Yap, seems like VC did not have time to smoother this oddball viewpoint on Xbox consoles. 🤷‍♀️

I wont be surprised a patch incoming soon.

Keep a lookout for it.

Oh boy...

The video, watch it.

That drop happens on all 3 next gen consoles.

Its acting as intended...transition from gameplay to cutscene back to gameplay.

Curry looks more realistic on Xbox. MJ looks like a plastic action figure on both. DF not critiqueing the ps5 version because they're scared of sonygaf.
