IGN/NX Gamer Metro Exodus Xbox Series X vs PS5 - Performance Review

Episode 12 Snl GIF by Saturday Night Live


Thank god we have that quarantined Gamepass thread in Communities, otherwise we wouldn't have enough space for all these super important comparisons :messenger_winking:

(Not knocking NXG btw, great video as usual)
 
I wonder if PS5 will chase slightly higher bounds with DRS in games at the expense of performance after the inclusion of VRR just like XSX.

Xbox only chase slightly higher bounds in DRS, due to dev kit being more powerful skewing this range towards higher values. It's a problem which MS still haven't fixed.

It was there in the beginning of X1X too.
 
Where are the crushed blacks? Only a certain group seems to have these issues with PS games. Wonder why...
No idea in the case of Metro, but Control did really have an issue with crushed black, the developer even released a patch to correct the issue.

This thread is not about Control though, no need for the Red Herring. The truth is - No crushed blacks, at least on the captured footage (which DF's one had). They were the only ones with that issue.

You mentioned "these issues with PS games", I pointed out one that legitimately had an issue.

Agreed, you are right.

What I find misleading on Metro, specifically is that you need to push the gamma curve a bit on the PS5 (blacks are indeed deeper), but that DF failed to mention (and Michael does) that the Xbox suffers from the opposite issue (too bright). And again, the "unfixable crushed blacks" is only an issue on DF's side. Nobody else had it.

All in all, both look identical and this is a great analysis, Xbox and PS fans should rejoyce that they get a game with fully ray traced lighting running at 60fps.
 
More than the droplets either it is motion blur or the ground textures seem off on SX ?

Anyways I think the take away from this video is that he said only 3-5 gfx programmers worked on it ? from 11:22 on this video. It is a port from PC but this clearly proves they were limited and their next game should do much better. Impressive nevertheless.

Compressed image + brightness = Muddy texture. The games are identical. I've watched quite a few videos in 4k on my end and paused in individual sections.
 
NXGamer NXGamer :messenger_bicep: keep up the great work, dude.
When I see NXGamer NXGamer content.

NXGamer NXGamer the guy we need.
Yes, across platforms, something DF failed to mention (as usual). That was my point. Kudos to NXGamer NXGamer for pointing this out though.

Oh look a performance review between XSX and PS5 that has 85%~ PS4/PS5 footage.
Where the biggest performance difference (resolution) gets acouple seconds of screen time and downplayed yet FR drop is said to be "3x WORSE than PS5" and XSS resolution is said to be "worse than PS4".

No wonder a particular fanbase loves him to death and they make it known the reason they do on YT and on here.
Never change NXGamer, Never change.

You have some courage to call him fanboy. Especially after such stupid hyperbolic idiotic fanboistic statement.

Change nothing. All that childish talk just because him doesn't praise the higher resolution as you wanted, when it's ridiculous pointless in a DRS setup.

Its not pointless, that the entire point of DRS, to drop the IQ to hold a particular FR. FR is tied directly to the resolution.
Spending (an example) 5 mins talking about FR and 5 seconds talking about resolution is not logical and makes zero sense.
Then using hyperbole to Magnifying one part ("3x worse"..etc) while minimizing another however makes sense when you are targeting a particular audience and is no surprise that that audience LOVES you and are vocal about it.
And only that audience LOVES you. No one else. When one particular group loves you and only that group.
It means you are doing something wrong or something right, depending on what your aim is.

Its no surprise that a certain group loves Fox News to death.

You post make no sense. Why he should talk more about the resolution? Because it's higher on series X right? Are you sure it's him too much partial here or maybe it's your point of views a bit blinded to the resolution "advantage" in your favourite platform? Think a second about the stupidity of your post. It has been stated from multiple channels, even by your precious DF, it's literally impossible to have a like per like situation because the DRS it's extremely dynamic, why should spend more time to talk about something not possible to measure properly. Delight us. Even VGtech specified any kind of valour in resolution can't be take as sample of the average resolution in the area per platform. Speaking which, it's the professional and untouchable DF, who did an hazardous guess without solid fundamentals and not happy about it, they even spitted out the resolution can go lower on ps5 because they haven't time to make their job. Talking about to make a video just to feed a fan base.

Think about the stupidity of your post where it makes perfect sense to spend 5 mins talking about FR and 5 seconds talking about resolution.
Think about the stupidity of your post where it makes perfect sense to spend 85% of the video showing PS4/PS5 on a XSX vs PS5 video.

Out of the dozens of performance review videos, not one did that.
But no, its not stupid. Its perfect. This is EXACTLY why you love him.

You have a point but it won't go over well here.

What exactly you want to hear to him? Be clear at least. We already know the maximum and the minimum resolution, we already know it can't be measured properly. You are just warring about him. And where are all the dozen of review video who talked more about resolution than fps? Can you make me a list? God how much pathetic can be some Xbox fanboy. If you really can't stand so much the way he did his analysis not watch his videos. Now you want to decide for him how make his video because he doesn't appreciate enough the Xbox advantage, how dare him. Lol. I suggest to Nxgamer to make a minute of slow claps in the videos everytime he find an advantage on Xbox platform. Maybe finally will make happy some Xbox fan.

Just from the first page of the 15 page DF comparison.
I would bet my balls Alex would have found a way to exalt the average higher resolution on series X in DRS over the better performance on ps5. Jeez how much predictable is him :messenger_tears_of_joy: and I found a spot where series X runs better "you see it depends to the area". Good Lord this guy.

Suuuure. He passed 5 minutes to spot an average higher resolution in a DRS on series X but for what purpose?
Here we go the clown 🤡 Riky with his gif

Remind the last time he elevated a playstation console over the Xbox, I beg you.

I'm console warring because I said Alex is well known to put the Xbox in the best light possible at every face off? You see how hypocrite you are? People like you are really the worst with their supposed higher morality engaging constantly console war against the others with different argumentation.

And what exactly I have said of false? Already VGtech and nxgamer reported a different stance to the DF videos about the resolution difference. Now you want to make me believe DF didn't hazarding such resolution difference in open area to pleased the Xbox fan base when the other two channels stated, with marked words, it's literally impossible to define an average difference in resolution in any area between the 2 consoles, for the extreme variability of the DRS. I don't see any other valid tech reason to make such approximate statement if not make happy their fan base.

The resolution on the XSS is lower than PS4? Is the PS4 pushing the same effects?
 
Come on people, not this sh!te again.

These 2 consoles are possibly the closest we have seen in most aspects, ever!. As I clearly state the XSX has a minor resolution advantage at some points, but even in side by side you cannot notice it.

AND the PS5 has a minor performance advantage but outside of these kinds of detailed frame-tests you you would not notice it. This game is a practical carbon copy on each, the big delta is the XSS version but no one seems to care about the little brother...spare a thought for the little one. Please..... ;-/

The big story here is the GI lighting and I hope to see an open world or large scale game that really embraces it fully as this small, talented team have done all this at the start of the gen at 60fps.

Where exactly I have said to him to not doing it.
I think your English is not good enough to have this argument. It's way better then my non native languages though. Keep practicing, and I bet soon it will be good enough to have this argument and have each other understand.

To be clear. This is in no way an insult. I'm very often impressed people learn this trash language as well as they do.
Have a great day.

Please elaborate. What it has to do my native language now to my argumentations. The hell of stupidity are you trying to invent to have your point. You even quoted the other user saying he was right about NXG partiality and when he is appeared, you put an emoticon of appreciation under his post. Be at least coherent with your opinions.

Good Lord your post history with NXGamer lol. And you blamed me lol. So you can say without consequences he is a Sony fanboy but DF never showed any evidence about their Xbox preference? Unbelievable how people as you can't see beyond his nose. But your english is not good enough to have this argument. My God 😂 We have an intellectual now with a sophisticated English too complicate for a conversation with an outsider.

Very good explanation about RTGI on first 10 minutes Michael, tks.
