stalking you? No, just that your “high quality” posts just jump off of the page.

I am amazed that your posts fly under the mods radar.

Maybe because I'm not aggressive and not antagonizing anyone like you are doing now? Go read again and see how I approach things, and how others getaway while throwing direct insults and attacks towards me.:lollipop_sunglasses:

If you're angry, try venting somewhere else. I'm not your problem here, nor I even talked to you or insult you in a way.

Is your name Xbox by any chance?:lollipop_tears_of_joy: If not, toughen up and stop crying.

See, this is just sad.

If I were you, I would demand Sony to show power advantage if they'd bragged about "The Most Powerful Console in the World". Instead, you continuously choose to defend MS like this.🙂

Where's my resolution advantage? None.
Where's my graphics advantage? None.

Ok, where's my fps advantage? At least this should be better on the "most powerful console", right?

Nope. It's actually better on the "weaker" console.

Open your eyes.

Not just that. VRR is available only on very high end and latest TVs. I have a perfectly good and low end Samsung 4k TV that is 5 years old: it doesn't have VRR and I will never will buy a new TV unless my current one breaks. If I have to buy a new TV today I won't got for top of the line, like getting a LG 55UN73006LA for €400, and it doesn't have VRR. Heck, it doesn't even have Game Mode :messenger_tears_of_joy: . So no VRR for me in the forseeable future. And I don't think that I am anything special out there.

And anyhow Sony already said that it will patch in VRR in PS5's OS in the near future. So the point is moot: PS5 will have VRR actived via software soon enough. Mean while it's performing without the need for this feature.
 
Who?, which posters?. The only Xbox fan i have seen say anything like that over the last few months was DynamiteKid. If i have mssed people then i'm mistaken.
Fanboys on Twitter dont count, and dont speak for a whole fanbase.

Certain people see Xbot boogeymen in their soup.

This was you a few months back:

Now your tune has changed, these comparisons at launch are now, inexplicably, not valid anymore. Wait for the tools he says!! Come on man the game is up. A bit more reflection from you would help.

Lol your posts in this thread sum up the sad state of the gaming forum nowadays.

N4G levels of fanboyism on display by both “teams” I am a bit apprehensive of spamming the ignore button. I get the impression that I will end up with a front page that never moves.

Even in light of DF explicitly stating the GDK is in its infancy, widespread reports over the last 9 months of devkits shipping out late, and developers using PC, do they still try to peg this to Microsoft lying and some kind of hardware issue.

It's software kiddos, you're acting like you have amnesia and don't clearly understand this or remember these things, I'm out. Once the software and familiarity catches up performance will transition, it's not a question of if but rather when.
Hope MS at least pay you because see this obsessive defence starts to be really worrying.

And what exactly is wrong with what i stated?. Waiting for the comparisons, how ridiculous of me.
And where have i said that the comparisons dont count anyway?. I'm saying people are being disingenous with the comparisons so far, which many are.

EDIT. Also how pathetic going back months to try and find 'dirt' on me, when in reality what i said was the correct and astute thing to do. When we have a 4000 page thread, full of absolute bollocks and circle jerking, and you dare try and and do that. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Its like that Valhalla thread about PS5 being upscaled, and then we got the WatachDogs thread later saying the same thing about XSX, and that thread was full of Sony fanboys saying shit like 'lol where are the Xbox fanboys now lolz!', 'All the people talking shit in the Valhall thread, they have dissapeared', 'talk about egg on your face, all the people in the Valhalla thread lol', etc. I went in the Valhalla thread after that, and i didnt see one 'Xbot' taking the piss out of PS5, not one.

Shouldn't you be demanding for better perf as it's touted as the "Most Power Console in the World" though? Why settle for VRR as the solution for poor perf? VRR is great and I demand Sony enable this ASAP as it's listed in their specs sheet.

Also, it's just sad when you have to grasp at straws and proclaim 0.01fps as any meaningful difference, really.

Who said it was meaningful? Not me.

I'm sure these games will be patched, but like with Gun and Tony Hawk's on 360 plus Battlefield 4 and COD Ghosts on Xbox One, you can't judge a console on cross gen launch titles. I wouldn't say some drops in frames is "poor" performance at all, but luckily Xbox has a feature to sort it out.

Well what he says will probably right, in terms of sales with casuals, parents for their kids, etc. The question is how many do you need to sell for it to be classed as 'lapped up'.
I think XSX will sell better than XSS through most of the year, but i think XSS will sell gangbusters at Christmas time (not this year obviously, before someone tries to twist what i said).

Okay... whereas I think the XSS is one of those no man’s land products that’s created to please everyone, and therefore pleases no one. I don‘t expect it to do well up against both Ps5 SKUs. Certainly not in the long run.

It's about being accountable for what you've said in the past. Now there is every flimsy excuse under the sun because it hasnt gone the way you wanted :messenger_grinning_squinting:

For those that need excuses, please pick and choose from the list below
  • Covid impacted Xbox devs more than Sony's
  • Tools are more mature on PS5
  • Devs are lazy
  • Game engine doesn't scale well to Xbox
  • Games are scaled from PS4
  • We'll see a massive difference starting E3 2021
Enjoy!

Ha ha nice one.

Add:

- Sony has a marketing deal with the game
- Wait for the Xbox drivers

The performance of the PS5 is shockingly amazing, but the current games that have been tested: AC, DMC5, COD are all pretty rubbish tbh(no offence), the most important comparison will be coming up next month: Cyberpunk 2077, I feel that’s a game where the performance gains would make a real difference... so far the PS5 has won the battle, but can it win the war?! Only time will tell.

They keep delaying the game. They have probably struggled way more than the other devs struggled to get games out for launch.
Keep expectations in check for Cyberpunk. And dont forget a 'proper' next gen version is coming down the line.
 
PS5:
- much higher GPU clocks (with increased latency)
- faster SSD
- I/O offloaded to special hardware from CPU
- Audio offloaded to special hardware from CPU
- 16gb of unified memory
- AMD SmartShift
- easer to develop for

is enough to compensate:

Xbox
- more CUs (56 vs 36)
- higher CPU clock (3.6/3.8 vs 3.5/3.5)
- higher bandwidth for 10gb (560gb/s vs 448 for 16gb)


We need something like Forza Horizon to really see what Xbox is capable of. Then compare it to PC version.

It's like people don't learn. Hardware isn't everything. Also Teraflops means absolutely nothing if you are bottlenecked by other parts. Also your Software API makes a lot of difference.

That being said, both Xbox and PlayStation are close and it's great thing. In these comparison videos, Xbox is doing well. Not sure what is triggering Xbox fanboys that they are running around from thread to thread defending Xbox and laying the blame on developers. What are you people expecting from Xbox?

Apparently the reason behind the delay was the performance of the base consoles. I’m pretty confident that they won’t delay the game again.

I know they are gonna release the next gen version in 2021, however most people will just get the current gen game as it is arguably the biggest title since Red Dead Redemption 2.

Doesn't change the fact it runs better🙂
Oh wow. Gotcha. The funny thing is probably series X will end to run better on multiplat in this way in the future , maybe a bit more and it will entertaining to see how many people will fight for such minuscule difference just to proclaim the victory of their favourite piece of plastic (as today).

ON DMC5 XSX is not using V-sync, so if you don't have a VRR TV capable you'll face tearing. PS5's version was using V-Sync which is taxing in FPS. Even with that said, PS5 has the overall advantage over all shown games so far.

Xbox had the advantage in three of four modes, I'd say that is a definite win for Xbox.

XSX is using VRR, so it's offloading that computation on the TV. Go watch the DF video again. VRR is external with no FPS penalty but requires compatible TV, V-Sync is done internally and hits the FPS.

They can't measure VRR on the frame time graphs.

Haven't you seen yet? Here a small true, real-time example from an unoptimized gameplay demo according to Epic Games (done in like 7 months):




More like a stress test, and that's not the full potential. Many expected XSX to at least win now, with games usually utilizing single threaded CPU's (XSX 3.8GHz) before going for multi-threaded.

Gonna enjoy the salt for a change after enjoying sweet PS5 games. :messenger_sunglasses:


See this demo is a little deceiving, since they picked they environment very carefully

Apparently some the tech doesn't do foliageall that well detail wise
Hence why it's all sand

Still looks great, but let's see
 
Well obviously its not going to take 7 months for every 9mins of gameplay, but at the same time its obvious that say a 15-20 hour game, at this level, is probably way beyond whats possible.
They spent the large majority of the time building a reusable games engine. The environment assets are all from their high quality asset library... The artists only had to place them and build a character, then do the demo.

Doing a game like this seems possible, in a reasonable amount of time, for a small indie studio using the engine when it's released. Big studios will have the time and resources to add more custom everything.

Cyberpunk will run in backwards compatibility mode for months. Maybe Xbox can win that one as they use software emulation instead of hardware

So on PS5:

-Best games in the industry (exclusives).
-Best version of 3rd party games on consoles, both resolution and framerates.
-Best controller.
-Best audio.
-Only console to offer VR.
-Free to play games are free.
-PS Now doesn't require PS Plus to play MP.
-600+ more games on PS Now vs GamePass.

Pretty easy win.

And that's how you crush the competition. Sony walks the walk not just talk the talk.

Sounds good ! Might buy now for series . 60 frames .

didn’t like 120 Hz, looked like soap opera in Dirt 5, a bit like the Hobbit movies at 45 frames 😌
I don't support the 120Hz modes in games too.
It is too early and the hardware is not there to run 120Hz.
It is just a marketing too.

Devs could use their time to work in better things.

I don't understand why are some people upset at games running nearly the same on both consoles. It bodes well for this generation. You can choose which games you want to play, and where you'll play them, knowing nobody will get shafted.

I hoped for this for a long time, and it's good to see it unfolding this way.

That isn't 60hz mode.

If you can run 120hz you probably have VRR which would make Xbox the best version still 😁

60fps mode in a bar chart perspective.

Soo much better. Really impressive 0.01fps win there. :messenger_grinning:
If this isn't the most congratulations you played yourself sequence i don't know what is. I can't fathom what you expected the 60fps mode was going to show. It is literally in an unnoticeable difference, a statistical blip.

It seems the same to me. ps5 just have more lighting on the foliage but probably the variable weather condition is just the reason.
Same as in Valhalla. PS5 pops a bit more.....Faster streaming of textures, high pixel fillrate, a bigger ram pool unsegregated for consistent bandwidth for volumetrics, alpha et al.....Note the delay on that pink smoke on XSX...
What a boring sunday for those of us who couldn't get a nextgen console, yet.
Not a single PS5 vs Series X youtube video!
And DF won't post their Valhalla comparison. Probably waiting for an Xbox patch or something?
If Valhalla was better on XBOX, that video and others would have been published days ago.....I saw these guys post a million Gears 5 videos, a last gen game with no appreciable difference in side by side visuals even over the XBONEX version. They posted a million Ori videos...All old games, a bunch of wii ports, but remember when they said they had not time to cover Miles Morales or were not interested in doing a video on the PS5 breakdown because Sony has shown nothing....It's all clear as day...
I own a Series X, but Sony are wizards with the performance they’ve delivered with the PS5. I hope that one day they provide a deeper explanation of the engineering that went into this console so we can know how it delivers this performance.
They did in Mark Cerny's "Road to PS5" video.......Legend says, that seven years later from now, we will still be learning and seeing the results encapsulated in games, based on the words he spoke there......The tide that lifts all boats, geometry engine, cache scrubbers, SSD speed, 12 gates IO.....Sound Engine, Haptic Feedback.....You will continue to see games that bring all of this out and you will go back to the video and realize it was all foretold....

Even now, people are surprised. DF might be shocked into deep sleep, maybe cryogenically with brain and body freeze from these PS5 results, certainly different to what they assumed and wanted, but again. Perhaps DF and many others should have listened to logic and real tech talk and extrapolations in the next gen thread than some of their members affiliating themselves with certain FUD discord groups...Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are....The apple does not fall far from the tree and all that.......Prepare for a mountain of excuse pieces when DF finally caves out.....But yes, Cerny's 1 hour presentation is the deepest and most comprehensive tech talk ever......Everything about the PS5 is there, you just missed it....It's like the bible of PS5, just go listen again and you will find the answers....

The other funny thing about this is the resident Sony guys talking up that the amount of people with VRR capable displays is "miniscule" therefore it doesn't matter. Then on the same token they're taking these somewhat stable 120hz modes as a win for a TV technology they're basically saying no one has including them, and then for 2/3 of the titles tested ignoring that the Xbox is actually performing better in the respective 60hz 4K modes which is the overwhelming majority application for people here and at large, and will be for years.

I just find that a bit funny.
VRR does not replace frames. Higher frames is always better, always....If you are playing SF in 120 mode, VRR will not make you win a game, the PS5 player will always have the controller response advantage since it's more performant in the 120Hz mode....
The release of Xbox came as a huge surprise to MS.
It certainly did and to think, it was the PS5 that was behind......"Sony is silent because they are not ready, RE8 can barely run 1080p 30fps, MS is the king of software, they invented Direct X, Direct X ultimate only on XBOX, the new API has features Sony doesn't have, does PS5 even do Direct ML, it doesn't have that, VRR and VRS are gamechangers, Sony doesn't have them, Halo is the only next gen looking game we've seen so far, Series X will be 4k native 60fps with hardware raytracing, PS5 will be 1440p at best with worse raytracing due to the more powerful hardware raytracing on XBOX......

So many advantages Series X had in hardware and software.....but now, MS the software giant is behind on tools....What should have been a 40-50 fps advantage in software shows a 60fps advantage in certain scenes in PS5 DMCV showdown. There was no need for logic and rational and civilized talk.....All they wanted was to shut down all talk of persons discussing PS5's more intricate hardware details, it's many custom parts which will all said was the right approach and would return dividends...Well here they are.....Truth are not lies, obfuscating truth and trying not to hear sound reasoning and logic, will only cause such persons to continue to wallow in disappointment.....At some point you have to face the reality....Trying to shut down SSD threads, talk of the custom work on PS5, geometry engine, cache scrubbers, haptics, HRTF......Now even MS is going to give Mark Cerny's "road to PS5" many views trying to learn something for their XBOX Series XX, but by then Cerny would have upped the game again for the PS5 PRO......
And shouldn't Microsoft of all companies have the software side in order by the time they release their 500 dollar product to the public? They should at least put a disclaimer on the box then. "Games and TOOLS are coming later."
The software giant which created Direct X and has a new API that smoothlines PC, Mobile and Console development, making it virtually seamless...."That was their pitch anyway" is way behind on that promise and we have to wait.....How long must we wait another 7 years? MS also said current gen would not affect their next gen projects "Halo Inifinite"....We all know, what MS says vs the reality of things.....XBONEX had this direct X chip that would be a gamechanger, Leadbetter parroted that like his life depended on it.....I have never seen so much hype built on fodder dreams, time after time failures, no delivery....Powah of the cloud, kinect transformations, gamepass is a gamechanger.....Titanfall, Evolve, Anthem, Sea of Thieves, Crackdown, Halo Infinite......It just all falls flat.....Too many promises, too much hype, it's like someone hyping you for a prime stake for dinner only to give you a salted cracker with no water to wash that down....

If we had to listen to some folk, 120fps would not be an option on PS5. It can't do 120fps, it has no 120fps games.....Reality I find is always different than FUD.....I can only imagine the performance on such a mode in RE8, after all the performance problems it had on PS5, would be something now innit, If RE8's 120hz mode performs just below Series X, but if it performs better after tall their PS5 problems. It would be something now wouldn't it....So even then, when RE8 was performing worse, all I heard that MS the software company has better tools and a better API, but now suddenly that API that delivered 4k 60fps, whilst PS5 could only muster 1080p sub 30fps, right now that API is behind, can you believe......Not just that example, but that Dolphin guy said Sony's API could not do 120fps, that MS can do 4k 120 fps easily on XBOX, he blamed Sony's tools and hardware, many joined in and claimed the same, he's a dev they said and he speaks the truth, Sony is just behind and are trying to cacthup to MS in hardware and software, hence they had to boost clocks to keep up......but suddenly the new narrative is tools...and who is pushing this. John Linneman and DF on twitter.....I suspect there will lots of "tool talk" in their next faceoff video...They are probably tooling it right now...
We heard these same things from Microsoft about immature tools at the launch of XBONE. It all turned out to be BS.

It will be the same this time around.
The only problem now, is that there is no way to relinquish extra power to devs, there is no kinect to discontinue, neither is there an Snap app to discontinue and give that power back to devs. The slower IO, the split ram pool with a much slower second pool can't be fixed unless there is a new box. They need to clock their CPU higher because their OS needs more CPU power to handle their BC and other features, not talking all the extra CPU overhead their API has for virtually any render or service launch/in memory....So combined all of this and it's not really an efficient machine, more bottlenecks, more anchors all around. So a few more CU's, clocked lower does not begin to tell you half the story....PS systems will always have more CPU cycles available because of a more streamlined OS, too many layer's on MS's OS. 4A games alluded to it in the PS4 days....Yet the CPU power is even more potent on the PS5 now because the speed of the IO decreases the CPU grunt needed in PS5 for many functions at runtime, the API is low level, the cache scrubbers and geometry engine are going to speed up render calls and the single pool of memory can be read into in and out with the fast IO much more speed and efficiency.....This was a console built to run games as fast as possible with high end textures at 4k resolution....So far from what've we've seen PS5's textures, lighting etc pops up much more and forget about all the FUD talk about bandwidth, the biggest strain on a GPU and CPU is running high frames at lower resolutions.....PS5 at 1080p 120hz is easily at pole position, but it should have been known this would be so months ago...It's all in Cerny's "Road to PS5" breakdown....
Xbox has more smoke effects coming from it's internal fan. This round is a draw.
That's certainly more immersive...
The versions tested were 1.004.000 on PS5 and 1.0.3.0 on Xbox Series X|S

Seems fair.
The versions would be the same.....The update numbers on PS vs Xbox are always different....These are technically different platforms, so the number schemes would vary.....The patch notes says it all, common bug fixes would be done on both systems. If one system has an issue and the other does not, it would only be patched on one system...This is how things have been forever...
Maybe I need to disable some weird motion interpretations in the TV, but I didn’t like what I saw.
Maybe your 120Hz mode is not true 120hz. Some Tv's have a 120hz interpolation mode....Not the same as the real thing...
I have never seen such denial in a gaming forum, unbelievable.

What happens when we’re a year or 2 in and PS5 is still beating Series X in performance? What’s it gonna be then?
Wait for the tools, just like you had to wait for E3's all of last gen....
So XSX got stomped again. PS5 is the best place to play the best exclusives and the best for of multiplats. XSX is the best place to play Gamepass, I guess. :lollipop_tears_of_joy:
PC might be the best way to play gamepass atm......With all these RDNA 2 cards hitting in two days combined with all these gaming leading Ryzen processors in tow.....4k 60hz at the best settings and with raytracing is definitely a possibility....So I imagine your next Forza and Halo Infinite will look better and play much more consistently on PC...
