I wouldn't think so, I'd say it's just a quick port of the PS5 version or the One X version with double the framerate. It's obviously unoptimized for Series consoles. It's also only certain scenes not the whole game which says to me it's lack of optimization for the platform. If the whole game was running 50fps then it would be different.

Unoptimized for series consoles? that's pure nonsense, MS had the marketing deal.
Clearly there is something bottlenecking the SX, it wouldn't surprise me if it's the split ram bandwidth.

Got to admit. This is all disappointing. Wish I didn’t invest so heavily in digital Xbox purchases. But they do have the best BC and I felt like an Xbox would always give me the best access to that content.

I’ll still likely pick up a Series X for that fact, but I really wanted Xbox to have the performance edge this new gen. Oh well. At least the performance divide between the consoles won’t be so big.

Is the new gen over? sheesh.

People joke, but yes, there was talk that the development environment of the SeX was being redone and would launch immature compared to the one on the PS5 and this have more influence than people are willing to acknowledge.

But still, I wasn't expecting it to unperformed so much.
Some may say that the PS5 drops the resolution more, but not only it's working as intended if the SeX droped the resolution as much as the PS5 the problem would remain, it's underperforming unexpectedly.

Anyway, we may be having fun laughing now but soon everyone will forget this because the real battle will be between the first parties begging at the end of next year. Now Sony will finally have true competition from Microsoft after all the acquisitions. Can Sony keep up?
Which of them is meant to keep up with Sony graphically?

Xbox drops more the resolution... not PS5... in fact Xbox needs to drop a bit more the res to hold 60fps like PS5.

Wow at the results I expected Series X to have a noticeable advantage over PS5, just like when PS4 had a advantage over Xbox One, or One X over PS4 Pro.

So have Sony just built a better machine, isn't Series X build cost higher than a PS5 excluding the controllers. So Microsoft went with a bigger APU and 12TF for Sony to some how he able to outperform them or be in par. Build cost is very important because if PS5 build cost ends up being cheaper Sony have better margins for profit and price drop for the same power.

People DO understand that Microsoft has some of the smartest graphics programmers IN THE WORLD. They CREATED DirectX, the standard APIs that everyone programs against. So while people laude Sony for their HW skills, do you really think they dont know how to build a system optimized for maximizing graphics for programmers? Seriously? There is no way they are giving up a 30%+ advantage to Sony. And ANYONE who has seen both systems running could say there are great looking games on both systems. If there was really huge performance difference it would be obvious.

I get a ton of hate for saying this but its been the same EVERY generation. Sony claims more power, they did it with Cell, they did it with Emotion Engine, and they are doing it again. And, in the end, games on their system looked the same or better.

Im not saying they havent built a good system Im merely saying that anyone who wants to die on their sword over this 30%+ power advantage are going to be fighting an uphill battle over the next 10 years

Compared to what? There’s no Miles Morales on Xbox.

For sure I know first party will take advantage of the hardware more but we can’t really compare stuff with first party.
It is not PS5 issue that Xbox has no game to show its “12 TFs power”.

Miles Morales proves PS5’s SSD is really made to makes loads in 1 second target... not just MM... Demon’s Souls too.

Sony is basically delivering what they they told you.

Sony really did let the game do the talking instead of talking about power for 2 years 😅😅
Also, PS5 is simply a fantastic, well thought out machine.

Behind the scenes, the dev tools, profilers, and the likes must be a breeze to work with and well thought out too. Cerny has always been about ease of development first foremost. And great games flourish because of this.

Interestingly xbsex hypothetical raw power advantage doesn’t show, also hypothetical ps5 ssd advantage is not noticeable, it is like early gen games are not fully utilising these systems /s

The PS5 advantage in CPU scenarios is difficult to fathom.

The slight advantage PS5 holds - below many people's expectations - on loading speed on 3rd party games and multi-platform titles was to be completely expected, because loading speed is not just a function of HW speed but also loading algorithms. Most 3rd party engines will simply not be coded for fast loading, 1st parties is different and there We are seeing the expected results.

Yeah but they also told me that using the SSD and all it’s I/O is effortless and automatically done by the system itself and doesn’t need much developer intervention. In fact it‘s on the Road to PS5. Why can’t devs show that 100% difference now? Surely something is stopping them. I mean fine it doesn’t have to be a 100% difference but the performance delta on various native next gen games show very little difference.

I mean it goes to show that it’s not really effortless and you still have to put some work in to make it utilize full efficiency.

Yea there's no use damage controlling this. Sony fanboys will have their fun with it but Xbox Fans need to hold Phil and Jason Ronald (Roland?)'s feet to the fire on this one. People who bought XSX expected power. Right now we aren't even getting parity. Not Cool.
That their marketing and product perceived value relies so much on graphical power is the real issue.
People who bought a PS5 did not do so for better looking multiplatform games, even if they did get a few.

But they somehow fully utilize ps5 power?Because that can be said for both console.And even not fully utilising Ps5's ssd it shows (although marginally) better perfs, the same can't be said for the XsX.

It's easier when you know this
Like how is that even possible? Isn't multithreading like one of most important things? Who looked onto that and said "Yep. That's fine. We are ready to launch"?

Bro, I hear what you're sayin. I'm of the belief that things will iron out in the future. But for right now what matters are RESULTS. The results we are seeing here betrays the promises we were given. PS3 Cell WAS more powerful, but it was ALSO too hard to develop for, which is why 360 beat out PS3 in most games. We are seeing a similar thing here except the problem is not so much with the hardware as much as it is the complete lack of logistical aptitude coming out of the Xbox team. They took too long to get their Dev Kits to developers and so it's the consumer who gets fucked in the end. Ubisoft and Microsoft have my $60 already. They have my $500 for the console. there needs to be pressure to have them quickly hold up their end of the bargain.

A correction by Alex. Ps5 is better by 30% not 15%

If history is any context, the console to draw first blood in head to heads has maintained that over the generation
Historically? which consoles are you talking about? I'm not sure history will play itself out here. We will have to see if things change with future patches.

You know what? Feels like they don’t know how to build a console 😂

How XSS compare to XBox One X ?

Back on Topic, Congrats Mark Cerny. No further words.

How do you explain to yourself how well the series S performs (comparatively speaking).

Smoking gun on this is the general issues with the game on both Xbox consoles. I think I'll wait a bit longer before casting judgement, as at the moment it just looks like the developers did a worse job lining it up on the Xbox platform vs Playstation - which in itself could have various reasons. And, you know: Ubisoft

Xbox 360 won the first head to heads and maintained that over the course of the gen
PS4 won the first head to heads and maintained that
One X won the first head to heads and maintained that
...and we all know why, the GPU with the most performance customizations won each of those times. I think this gen is pretty different then the others. Never in any previous gen have we had to wait so late to see games running on actual hardware. I don't think things will play out identical to previous times
