I was struggling to choose between WD Legion and AC Valhalla. I’ve never paid full price for AC before and was leaning towards Legion, but damn - these screens and some videos I’ve seen have me swinging towards Valhalla as my launch game purchase.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

Do they also show off this neat feature where your file can go corrupt giving you infinite loading screens?

Nope. Guessing it's been fixed via patch.

Same, AC Valhalla being locked 60 alone is probably the deal breaker

Wait they didnt embed it on the mobo?? That is amazing. It means it can be replaced without throwing away an entire mobo. Also leaves things open for a faster drive later on!

Sounds good in theory, but good luck finding consumer M.2 2230 drives with remotely close capacity and/or read speeds, they basically don't exist.

That's really impressive. The Series X is better than I thought it would be at ray tracing.

He didn't show the area right after you get the sword where DF shows there's a few fps drops.

yeeahh!

Watch the full YT video. 60fps on combat when it dipped on DFs preview hardware

You saying something got patched or improved on the retail Series X?

A few drops don't matter to me with my VRR compatible TV, just that someone's claiming it's a 60 lock now that I was curious about.

 

[Night.Ninja]

Well there's some drops at the start of the video

 

[Elias]

Like I've said, DF is solid but they aren't the end all be all. It seems performance was improved by MS for back compat as a whole or by the devs.

That's from... The loading screen which isnt 60fps.

They do specify that it's preview hardware and results are subject to change. We've already seen quick resume running faster than in that video, meanwhile GTAIV no longer has auto-HDR.

It doesn't appear flawless but it's definitely improved to the point it's hard to argue for checkerboard over native IMO.

When he swings to the house?

tbh I don't care, the only problem I have with this game is never goes on sale, a real sale.

Additionally, the DF BC vid is about a month and a half old now. Plenty of time for serious updates.

Since when native 1800p which is later upscaled by the TV better than 1800p checkerboarded to 4K by the console from the get-go?

 

[Evangelion Unit-01]

Same size as in Surface devices, probably expensive but makes me less nervous about the health of the drive in the long run

Was really happy to see this for long term ownership and repair.

??

It's checkerboarded to 1800p.

Native is obviously better at the same resolution.

It’s not native 1800p on PS5. Sekiro displays at 3200 x 1800 on both the PS4 and Xbox One X, about 70% of full 4K’s 3840 x 2160. The PS4 shows minor artifacts that indicate some form of reconstruction was used to boost a lower render to 3200 x 1800.

i mean the version DF tested did have drops... so not sure what you mean by this

what?

 

[splattered]

How would this happen? BC software update before retail release? Surely the game itself didn't get patched did it? Though i think it just had a small content drop... maybe stealth patch there?

It's possible, definitely a drawback of MS sending out preview hardware so early. We've seen many changes since DF tested Sekiro in a number of departments.

I'd be interested to see Hitman on the Paris stage at unlocked frame rate/resolution again to know for sure.

In any case, it's averaging about as close to 60fps as you could hope for here. That's a big boon for Xbox.

100%

No kids so no need for a 2nd console and I prefer to game in my bedroom and don't like having a console in the living room

Speculation time. Disney+ subscription included in Game Pass Ultimate?

I think it's 1 month (maybe more) free Disney+ as one of the perks

 

[Xaero Gravity]

No kids

RIP CJY

This would be amazing. Subs about to end. Prob just 1 month or something though.

I could see it being a 2 month to gets folks to the new year and to the end of the mandalorian

 

[Night.Ninja]

I'm happy with these quick resume times, it really is a game changer.

 

[Bernkastel]

Still waiting for this to be tested on Series X.

I see, thanks.

Think about that for a second. A technology that was introduced to us two years ago, and requiring thousands of dollars worth of top-of-the-line components, is now in a $300 box.

That is kind of amazing.
