Support NeoGAF

[SlimySnake]

The laziest update/patch ever released by a developer, so lets just lower the resolution!! Rubbish

how else do you think they are going to get 25% performance back with fewer screen tearing? magic?

optimizations are just a fancy word for downgrades. its true on PC. it was true last gen. it will be true this gen. anyone who has spent $2,000 on a pc only to reluctantly downgrade shadows, resolution and other graphical settings just to hit 60 fps can attest to that.

engine optimizations are rare and usually only show up in sequels 2-3 years down the line. you cant fix a lack of horsepower.

 

[recursive]

A reduction in resolution is NOT optimization.
Optimization would vê improving the resolution while keeping the same quality/resolution.
Ubi can't really find any place to improve their code?

You expected them to do that in a week or two? If they could have then it probably wouldnt have released this way. They may still be working on it, or not.

 

[GHG]

The resolution difference can’t be noticed anyways, since it’s very rare and most of the time the same.
What you notice however if you have a higher FPS.

Oh so you've now changed your mind?:

exactly. And Xbox supports 4 generations.
don’t know why people don’t get that. I would rather have a much higher resolution and a few small dips here and there than a constantly much lower res.

You people are sensational.

 

[Insane Metal]

eh, XSX runs now at a much higher and more consistent FPS and a higher average FPS. How is PS5 better? Lol

Keep up? It runs the game at higher FPS

You didn't even watch the fucking video lmao

 

[Bittermich]

suddenly, only resolution matters and not FPS in a PERFORMANCE mode.
I thought 4K is a waste and FPs is more important? Suddenly 4K is the most important thing and FPS don’T matter? Really?

 

[Entroyp]

You mean Paul doesn’t know what he’s talking about right? Maybe, but it sounds like common sense.

 

[Bittermich]

You people are sensational.

we are talking about a performance mode though, where performance is key. That’s the whole point of a performance mode.

Did you watch the video?

Are you feeling ok?

 

[Bogroll]

Series X hold 60fps better than Ps5 now and Ps5 tears more than Series X now.

Bitter much?

 

[waquzy]

XSX runs at a much lower resolution

 

[Cherrypepsi]

Is this true?

you're trolling right?

the resolution part is true, however the picture of the graph shows the version before the patch
it's stable at 60 now....

stop spreading twitter bs like this

 

[Bittermich]

yes, I saw the FPS difference in a performance mode:

In a performance mode FPS is more important than Resolution.

 

[GHG]

yes, I saw the FPS difference in a performance mode:

Here are some notes from the video:

• The framerate of the XSS is better than that of the XSX before the patch, but still worse than that of the PS5.
• Frame-rate is better than pre-patch Series X but worse than PS5

Just stop.

Or you can keep posting that screenshot to make yourself feel better.

True, but if the PS5 resolution was the same as XSX, the PS5 would come out on top again

 

[THEAP99]

I am old enough to remember how xbox fanboys line Astal were messing with Ubisoft word play saying the ps5 version of the game would be fake 4k but the series x would be native. But it turns out ps5 runs higher resolution anyways

 

[thelastword]

Xbox Series X having to lower resolution to keep up with Playstation 5 is just priceless.

Wait for the tools.

 

[Cherrypepsi]

so by your logic dropping down to 240p would be cool if it would maintain 60fps

just move on man

Oh no... You didn't watch the video, did you?
It's only the starting cutscene that runs worse now on PS5 (and it didn't before the update). Do you enjoy playing cutscenes? If so, Series X is the winner in that scene. Yay!

Oh so you've now changed your mind?:



You people are sensational.

DetectiveGAF on the case. Poor guy

eh, the difference in resolution is not that big, however playing at a locked 60fps compared to 50-51 FPS is much worse especially if you play in a performance mode. Do you know what the goal of a performance mode is?

[scalman]

so they achieved that lowering res on XSX which is most powerfull console in world, and then series S getting 60fps mode but on 720p mostly, nice. PS5 is going well like nothing happened there. so most powerfull console needed to lower resolution. thats normal i guess for most powerfull to do that . lol

 

[Yoboman]

Thats a cutscene and the only place they could find issues on PS5

I guess you could watch that single bit of a the cutscene on a loop and keep telling yourself "performance is more important" and "eats monsters for breakfast" while the rest of the game looks and runs better on PS5

 

[Kuranghi]

Seems like a big drop to get to 60fps, what does it take to run this game at 1440p + locked 60 + max-ish settings on PC? If its doable on GTX 1080/RTX 2070 then I wouldn't buy the console version personally. I'm sure I can do native 4K + locked 30 on my GTX 1080.

 

[skit_data]

Wow, Ive been following all these threads on Next Gen for a couple of weeks and Im just here to show my gratitude of the absolute boundary breaking stretches of ”performing better” some people are touting.
Its been a fun ride to see people going from expectations of 4k 60fps to 1188p 60fps and still, STILL have the face to even argue they are ”better off”. Absolutely hilarious, never change.

 

[Cherrypepsi]

No need to get angry mate. It's a cross gen game from ubisoft. I'm sure the tools will continue to improve.

 

[SlimySnake]

it drops in that cutscene. playing is 60 fps locked.

 

[Elginer]

Them tools putting in work. Not good work but it's something, kinda.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Best played on Xbox, just like before the patch.

 

[dorkimoe]

I honestly feel like I have no tearing or any issues with this game yet on xsx. However trying to read all the patch notes for the 9 different systems is fuckkng annoying. Stupid Microsoft’s naming scheme

 

[Redlancet]

Series X hold 60fps better than Ps5 now and Ps5 tears more than Series X now.

Why are you telling líes?

 

[Mr Moose]

Someone else didn't watch the video, I see.

Only in the opening cutscene.
Not anywhere else.

I've watched the video.

Just not true. If anything the two are on par with each other, but if you wanted to be really picky and say one was "better" then PS5 isn't dropping its resolution as much as XSX.

 

[JORMBO]

How many times are we going to analyze this one game to point out shit you don’t even notice when they put graphs and numbers over top of the footage?

 

[scalman]

most pwerfull console in world just dropped its resolution for fps... PS5 doing just fine as it is though just 2tflp lower , still doing good, because other stuff matters too .

 

[Agnostic2020]

Thats a cutscene and they mention it . Gamepkay they r both locked now with ps5 having 40% more pixels on the screen . Stop being disingenuous. Bitter much ??

 

[Bernd Lauert]

PS5 tears very frequently. VRR makes the tears go away on Xbox.

They are already here

Once again, some ppl are gonna have a rough gen.

[BootsLoader]

I

When it's the ammo you have it's the ammo you fire.

I bet people are thirsty for shitty comparisons huh?

 

[scalman]

difference because lower res... plz bitches , its just cutscenes. noone cares. 12tflps failed. every game failed on XSX since now to compare so maybe new Halo will save them

 

[Heisenberg007]

 

[Mr Moose]

They are on par now (apart from the opening scene lol).
I'd play it in the 4K "quality" mode, personally.

 

[cebri.one]

Well that's it, they got higher fps on a cutscene while rendering 40% less pixels. I think XB won.

 

[Bogroll]

Your second bullet point. Alex is talking about Series S performance.
Series X perfoms better than Ps5 and has less tears than Ps5, albeit at a lower resolution in certain areas.

This what denial looks like. First stage of grief about wrong marketing by ms.

U want the best played version of this u better play on pc or ps5

 

[Topher]

What are you talking about? They said the PS5 version had "some minor tears here and there".

Right Here:

 

[scalman]

next XSX could do 120fps at 480p ... do it
