The Medium - Reveal Trailer | PS5

They probably removed Xbox Series X settings like Ray Tracing because the Resolution would've ended up below 720p.
Or more probably they have reconsidered the final result on series X giving the priority to the resolution and performance on ps5. I guess. Most of people blamed them for the resolution and the FPS performance on series X. Though well it's not frame pacing it's a better option.
I'd like to know what you have to laugh everytime. You seem to suffer a sort of dementia.

I wouldn't even play this if I had RentPass

Absolute par for the course Xbox garbage. Disgusting. Won't taint my PS5 with it.
Ladies and gentlemen, don't be fooled - this is a seasoned fisherman that has achieved mastery over his craft through long years of practice. This is someone at the top of their game. You rarely see execution at this level.

Mmm. He already "tricked" his videos in the past. Said that seems raytracing was removed on ps5. Don't know if it's a bug or intentionally but their previous game had it (and not on series X)so it's quite... weird


What video do you think he "tricked"?
 
Using a banned source as a reference, nice.
The timed Xbox Series and PC exclusive is launching on PlayStation 5 tomorrow, and courtesy of YouTube channel "ElAnalistaDeBits".
DF:
In terms of the ray tracing support, The Medium features RT reflections - but only in certain locations and only on Xbox Series X and PC

Banned source.
(Also, 3:44, missing from Series X too, RT in the game is inconsistent)

The load times don't make much sense, it's not a PS4 game.


I was unaware that is was a banned source, my bad!
 
I'm playing this right now on Series X with Dolby Atmos and a headset. The sound is rather disappointing. Really enjoying the game so far otherwise.

I'm going to buy this on PS5 and see if there is a sound quality difference. This was supposed to be very good from the sound perspective and I'm underwhelmed on the Series X.

Coming soon:

The same 3 threads for every multi-plat nobody plays:

DF Comparison of Game Nobody Plays Volume 23
NXG Comparison of Game Nobody Plays Volume 23
Why is this female character not wearing a g-string in this Game Nobody Plays Volume 23? WOKE BS!

He used wrong perspective to prove better AF on series X in a couple of games (I suspect is intentional) and the FPS analysis were faked in a couple of videos (always to favour the Xbox console). Furthermore pixels counts it's always higher in favour of the Xbox console when it wasn't true at all many, many times. It's banned for a reason.

Bloober is just terrible at optimizing their games. Didn't the Series S|X version of Observer launch without RT while the PS5 did and it took them almost 6 months to finally implement it. This could be the same case.

Was bored to tears with this.

Let's hope their next game plays (much!) better and is actually optimized.

I dunno. The best fishermen tend to be subtle. You ain't catching jack by wearing neon and stomping into the lake.
 
Oof at the PS5 version 😦
I hope no one takes the results of this title to cast aspersions on the system. Plenty of people here attack a certain platform based on how a 3rd party game runs on it rather than simply acknowledging that the developers made certain choices as to how they wanted the game to run on the system. Hardware manufacturers can't be blamed if a developer chooses not to use a feature the console has.

Is always the devs when there's something missing on ps5...but when something is missing on xbox is the console's fault 🤣
 
#1 Certified Sony Pony Homie here. Im going to return my PS5, if it can't handle the glorious "The Medium".

Anyways whats the big deal, small developer has issues optimizing.

This approach should be taken with ALL cross platform games. It's no secret the XSX has a bit better GPU than the PS5. All things equal in rendering, we should basically expect the XSX to usually have a bit of an advantage overall in the graphics department. Sony chose to allocate resources on the I/O portion of the console, so they have an advantage there. Them's the breaks.

This is ok. It's not a reason for Xbox only people to gloat, and it's not a reason for PS5 only people to throw it in other people's faces when parity or even a slight advantage is seen on PS5 for some reason. A lot of this is going to come down to developer ability. It's just all so tiresome.
 
I don't recall Medium be a super performer on the Series X. It also isn't the most attractive game out there. I'm not sure I'd use Blooper Team to benchmark my console pissing contest.
 
Bloober is just terrible at anything.
- "borrows" ideas from other games, movies, painters, creators ..
- does not pay the voice over actors (prolly still unpaid)
- patents a game mechanic introduced 2 decades ago by Ubisoft
- all their games are hot garbage, rip offs
- hyped up their SSX exclusive, how great the SSD was, how great the SSX is, only to underdeliver a laggy shit not capable of running at locked 30fps, stuttering and not hitting 4K

They´re garbage. Terrible developer, now in charge of a "potential" new Silent Hill.
 
Well it's higher resolution with better AF. Take your poison 🤷‍♀️
ElAnalistaDebits said PS5 version had no RT but different lighting and AO which sometimes gave better result, higher resolution, faster texture loading.

Console warriors want blood and will wait for DF to 400% zoom and then wait for NX to find a frame stutter in some corner but to me it seems like a well-optimized version, those who like these games will enjoy either version and those who don't can safely stay away knowing life goes on as before.

It's an incredibly slow and clunky game but it made the hair stand on my whole body at times so those who like scary games should at least check it out later at a sale. It's not as bad as some say it is. And you'll never look at Troy Baker the same again. 😬

Looking at some comparison vid PS5 load is twice as long as Xbox. Tells me pretty much everything as far as dev time spent. Cheap port, 0 tailoring for the platform.
 
Easy "game" pass. Game looks bad.
Fixed that one for ya. Still, game must have flopped big time. Wonder if the "fee" of coming to gamepads fixes the missed income by not launching on PS5. PS5 sales tend to be stellar in comparison with series.
 
Apparently lack of RT is a bug, interesting. There is a few videos up on YT at the moment, and from what my eyes can tell it would seem that the PS5 version has a noticeable IQ edge, I hope they introduce RT as an option as I don't think I could stomach less than 900P lol.

I thought the same, but with how the game is it works for it. I'm enjoying it so far. Hate the 30fps tho.

Worst news ever for GAF. If both versions end up looking the same what are we going to talk about?

Finished this in 3 days when it came out on Series S and it's a great little adventure game. Incredible visuals at points with a great soundtrack. It rips off Silent Hill just a bit too much and it has instant death chase sequences that I hated because of how clunky the controls are. If you're into 90s horror adventure games you'll like it despite the lack of difficult puzzles.

I'll probably pick up this walking sim today after work tbh, are you noticing frame pacing issues like others?

Nope. Only thing I have really noticed that throws me off is the random artifacting. I thought my Series X GPU was dying but its apparently a known issue with the game. Otherwise, it runs fine.
