Unless I'm missing something, one advantage over the previous generation is the install size. On PS5, my install size is 59.65GB and I seemingly have access to all Hitman 1-2 levels as well. IIRC, my Hitman 2 installation on PS4 was north of 100GB.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

On the plus side for PS5, Hitman 3 loads 88/100ths of a second faster vs Series S, and 35/100ths of a second faster than Series X.

 

[DarkMage619]

I'll keep saying cross gen titles aren't a true test of what these consoles are capable of. It is pretty interesting to see that the one area the PS5 dominates the XSX in, the SSD speeds, it doesn't actually translate to a significant load time advantage. It's possible we'll see that advantage in the 3rd party native PS5 and XSX|S games.

 

[isoRhythm]

You all can guess as to why.

Because there's really nothing to nitpick if you consider resolution AND performance?

 

[Tickle My Tendies]

-Ultra textures on PS5/XSX and high on XSS.
-TAA on all versions.
-Shadow in high on XSX, medium on PS5 and low on XSS.
-60fps on PS5 & 50-60fps on XSX/S.
-No RT.
-Faster loading times on PS5.

I have direct quotes in the OP, what you wrote here isn't entirely accurate.

Load times are a split second difference only, and the XsX only drops frames in one part of one level, is otherwise locked 60

Why put a resolution advantage directly in the title (Xbox) and not a performance advantage as well (PS5)? Not trying to start a war, genuinely wanting to know

The thread title is just the title of the video/article, from DF/Eurogamer. Also, read above in regards to framerate. XsX has one instance of dips in one level while always maintaining shadow and resolution advantage

 

[AllBizness]

Doesn't the 1X version run at a higher resolution then the Pro?

 

[JonkyDonk]

This thread will be eerily quiet compared to the Valhalla one.

You all can guess as to why.

Because the console that was hyped to all hell to have a massive GPU advantage finally shows a small advantage in one game?

 

[basic_element]

Go XBOX Go!!

Because it's not a real performance advantage, if the Series X only drops frames in one area of game... which could be the result of glitch or some other hitch and is not indicative of performanc. DF points things out like this so devs can fix it.

 

[ethomaz]

One X is 1440p so I assume Pro is either 1440p or lower

They will talk about it.

"We'll be looking at Hitman 3 with a broader perspective, encompassing last-gen consoles, in content coming soon - and we'll also be focusing on the PC version too in a separate piece. One thing we can share right now is that last-gen and next-gen consoles have much in common, and it does require PC to really push this engine to its limits - in this sense Hitman 3 continues the mission in the same way as its predecessor. The push to 60fps does set the next-gen consoles apart, but PS4 Pro's curious 1080p60 mode is a fascinating outlier. We've not put a huge amount of time into it, but it works well in the Dubai stage, running almost flawlessly, and it's curious not to see it on Xbox One X too. Regardless, we've got much more to share on Hitman 3 and we'll be reporting back as soon as we can."

Seems like PS4 has two modes... one of them is 60fps.... this mode is not present in XB1 X.
I have the impression PS5 version is being limited by the PS4 Pro version.

 

[RoboFu]

It drops to 40fps on XSX when aiming in that video.

in that one area. They say its pretty much 60 most of the time.

 

[skneogaf]

Series x winning again, seems to be more often now. I forsee most games in the future being similar results as this.

 

[waquzy]

THE TOOLS ARE HERE!

Really?!

PS5 takes this one

 

[Unknown?]

Seems to be a glitch that will be patched in the future.

You forgot the resolution part which was the key thing DF tweeted.

The lowdown on Hitman 3 on next-gen consoles - 2160p60 on Series X, 1800p60 on PS5, 1080p60

 

[aries_71]

Drama incoming.

 

[vpance]

Is PS5 running in PS4 Pro quality mode? But at 60?

 

[Cornbread78]

The real question is if the difference on resolution is evident without pixel counting.

Hey numbers are numbers, everyone can see the difference on a 24" tv and a 75" tv the same!

 

[Entroyp]

Finally. What’s the score? 15-1? However, it does perform better on PS5 so I don’t know if it’s a win for Xbox.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

it that one area. They say its pretty much 60 most of the time.

Still drops unlike the PS5.
40fps is pretty bad.

Overall id call this face off a tie.

 

[Romulus]

It drops to 40fps on XSX when aiming in that video.

That pretty much proves that if PS5 is running at that much higher FPS that it can easily handle higher settings

 

[Salmon Snake]

So I guess I'll just throw my Playstation 5 down from my balcony and buy Xbox Series X then.

 

[SlimySnake]

When does it drop frames?

whenever there is foliage or alpha particles in the game. shooting through a sniper rifle or sneaking through foliage. thankfully you can only do those things in one level.

 

[Aguero9320]

Still drops unlike the PS5.
40fps is pretty bad.

But we'll never know what the PS5 would drop too if it was actually running 4k, no? Because it isn't. Serious straw clutching here.

 

[Md Ray]

p.s looks like the tools have arrived.

Not really. XSX has fps dips not seen on PS5, I'd praise the tools if XSX was locked 60 while rendering at native 4K.

This still seems like PS5 is on par XSX like we've been seeing.

 

[Nikana]

So I guess I'll just throw my Playstation 5 down from my balcony and buy Xbox Series X then.

At least donate it.

Nope.

PS5 > XSX

[regawdless]

Where is your god (Cerny) now?

Seriously though, great performance by both consoles and again very close. Both companies did a great job and the game looks great.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Sony and Microsoft can both be happy now

 

[isoRhythm]

That pretty much proves that if PS5 is running at that much higher FPS that it can easily handle higher settings

Not necessarily We'll have to wait to find if it is a bug or a bottleneck. I believe that the aiming with the scope (drops to 40-50fps) is a bug but walking through the fields and seeing consistent prolonged drops to low-mid 50s is a bottleneck and not just a bug.

 

[Skifi28]

Time for the xbox fan revenge against the PS fans taking revenge on the xbox fans taking revenge. Or something.

 

[VictorVectors]

When does it drop frames?

When you zoom on rifles and during moments where a lot of alpha effects are on screen.

[Unknown?]

You're trying too hard.

 

[thelastword]

So 60fps locked on PS5. XBOX wavers below 60. PS5 wins again. They need to lower Xbox's resolution. Knowing DF, I expect that the framerate on Xbox goes below 50fps in more thorough tests, which I'm sure Vgtech will point out.

 

[Doncabesa]

I have no idea why this didn't end the whole thread.

because "it drops frames" in 1 second of one area and one small part of one level. that's it. It doesn't drop frames 99.9999% of the time you're playing it.

Just, no. You again talk like it wavers often, .01% of the time or less is not "wavers" in general. Game is fine on both systems, play it on whatever you own the first two on (if you do).

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

20fps isn't straw clutching.
We go by what is not assuming what could be.

 

[Evilms]

 

[sircaw]

Really?!

PS5 takes this one

xbox should really have dropped the res to give that perfect frame count like on the ps5.

silky smooth 60 fps does not count if you are hitting a long snake-like dip into the 50s, or worse still that 40 frames drop with the sniper rifle.

 

[Elias]

I'll take the drops in that one field over a loss of 30% of the pixel count. Plus, I'll make use of the VRR available on the Series X.

 

[LisaMariaMartin]

ps5 cant hit 4k? yikes.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Solid 60fps vs drops as low as 40fps lolz

 

[pasterpl]

What with these load times?, xseries is very close to ps5 load times and on paper ps5 ssd is much faster

 

[GaviotaGrande]

Very well optimized game. I'm getting 100+ FPS playing in 4k and all settings turned up to the max on PC with 3080.

BUT

Screen space reflections need to fucking die now. Where's my RT upgrade?

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

Nice try, Series X, but I already own the series on Playstation! Maybe if Phillip got all 3 on Gamepass, I could enjoy the superior resolution and shadows. That is why you don’t snooze for an entire gen.

 

[Old Empire.]

ps5 cant hit 4k? yikes.

Series runniing 4K native at high shadow rendering. Fact PS5 running medium shadows is plenty of evidence it can't hit 4k native!

 

[Chris_Rivera]

Seems to be a glitch that will be patched in the future.

Patched how? By lowering shadows or resolution?

 

[Night.Ninja]

This game will look even better with RT, SSR in some places look meh.

 

[SmokSmog]

Maybe IO interactive set the PS5 resolution to 1800p because it was dropping framerate like crazy ?
