You think? Based on MS marketing around the XSX, those fans already claimed victory even before the consoles where released.

But it was a big slap in the face for those same people after release. The difference in marketing between the two companies was evident. Sony was a lot more professional, in comparison to Xbox marketing.

Have you forgotten all those arguments from xbox fans who kept shouting "let's wait for DF, they will going to show the difference".

Yes indeed we have seen how it went.

And they waited, alright, until DF showed the difference they wanted.

 

[skit_data]

So... when do you guys figure we get a downgrade patch that introduces noticeable frame drops on Series X? Something akin to the AC:V patch on PS5? I mean it shouldnt be out of the realm of possibility, it happened before.

 

[Superayate]

My reasoning is plain. Any game dropping frames in favour of resolution is doing it wrong.

There is argument that an occasional blip can be looked past, but the lavender level is clearly putting excess stress on the GPU in a sustained fashion; not a blip. Were I to play the game, I would choose to compromise on resolution first and foremost as a net positive effect. That is all.

In fact, I could understand your point of view and would totally agree if the drops were present in more areas or levels, and not in just one location. In this game, I think there are not enough drops situation to prefer reducing resolution than keeping as it is currently set.

 

[phil_t98]

As a gamer are you honestly advocating for native 4k over better performance?

Is this where we’ve come to after all this time? After all the conclusions from not just DF, but majority of interested parties of the diminishing benefits of 4k in the next gen.

I’m sorry, I cannot accept the narrative being driven that resolution is the defining factor of ‘better’ here. There is no way in hell Anyone should chose resolution over pristine performance, and those doing so are doing a disservice to all gamers.

Framerate > resolution all day, any day when it comes to such high density pixel counts. The lavender performance is simply not good enough on XsX and deserves to be lambasted, not the other way around.

I hope the devs aren’t taking this egregious feedback as some kind of reality.

as a gamer you can't see that its only now section it does that and the rest is 4k 60fps?

 

[Snake29]

And they waited, alright, until DF showed the difference they wanted.

Well if this is the difference they waited for......then it looks VERY dissapointed for the XSX if you look at specs on paper.

I don't think that will happen, it is one small drop in one level and not something that plagues the entire game like AC: V. It would be more likely to see nothing occur, or a potential fix to improve the performance in that section.

I can’t tell if people are trolling or actually serious. This is so overly dramatic and ridiculous. It’s a quick frame drop at one small spot on the edge of one map. I beat the game and didn’t even need to go to that spot.

So you are telling me you would rather take a decent resolution drop across the entire game in favor of a tiny frame boost in 0.01% of the game? Or in my case it would have been 0% of the game. This make no sense.

A resolution jump across the entire game is noticeable. No one would probably even notice that tiny frame drop without a DF graph telling them it exists.

 

[Bergoglio]

44% more pixels.

High shadows and native 4K.

 

[assurdum]

XSX is a beast.

what’s his name is a genius!

A beast which can handle in 4k with mixed setting at 60 FPS a game that runs at 56 FPS of average with ultra setting in a 5700 XT (the amd GPU weaker version of ps5 GPU). What exactly is beasty in this perfomance? It's exactly where should be.

 

[Snake29]

I don't think that will happen, it is one small drop in one level and not something that plagues the entire game like AC: V. It would be more likely to see nothing occur, or a potential fix to improve the performance in that section.

Well it has more microstutters/frame dips in multiple scenes. Not only that one level.

So this game doesn't "perform" better on XSX hardware.

 

[assurdum]

good so relax xsx won perform better in this game you will be ok don't worry

Where I say I'm not ok with this? I just a bit disappointed ps5 version isn't it in line with the perfomance expected, especially considered how easily runs in a weaker pc.
Can I express my thought about it or I have to ask the permission to you because he hurts too much hear redimensioned the series X perfomance?

And may I ask what performance is expected?

 

[assurdum]

To be honest, sometime I don't understand how you can conclude such thing. Honestly, when these drops that are just visible during one particular area in one level, I don't understand how you can really say that this small performance difference offers more interest than the increase in resolution which is here 100% of the time in this game...
So just a question now, with ACV, do you think now that XsX versions is more interesting than PS5 versions (with VG Tech stats that was showing XsX more stable at 60fps with patch 1.04) for example ?

Well hearing DF Valhalla should to have the same treatment on ps5 because steady FPS all the life but look how much they celebrate the 4k in this game over a smoother 60 fps at lower resolution. Curious to know what they would have said if the contrary would be happened

 

[assurdum]

And may I ask what performance is expected?

4k on both is not a crazy expectation. Just because this game isn't particularly demanding and it's crossgen. But who knows what's up to the engine.

I don't know to be honest, I've seen videos but have yet to play it. It looks decent but nothing amazing, I'd wager its more down to 60fps and open non linear levels and the fact that both these consoles are in their infancy. I'm jumping into next gen for Res 8 and by then we should get a better picture of how these two consoles stack up against each other.

 

[BigLee74]

Playing this on the XSX, and starting again with the legacy levels.

Im only on the first training level (on the pretend yacht), but there’s definitely small stutters now and again that suggest it drops ever so slightly, or has frame pacing issues.

Not a lot, but they are there.

I am also finding the game is looking very washed out compared to the same level running on Hitman 2, with the same TV settings, and I can’t get it looking as nice. Maybe the HDR implementation isn’t that great?

Having said that, I’m enjoying it, but who knows when I’ll actually reach the new Hitman 3 levels!

If something have teach me something, when such FPS drops happen, rarely are tied to a single scene. Now no one trying to argue such dips are dramatic or ruins the experience, but if you for months parroting fps steady it's the king not res, and at the first occasion changes your narrative because finally you can celebrate the gap you hope for...

No, but as soon as I do I will report back down to 2 decimal places, nay 4 decimal places the framerate BOOOOST

I'm jumping into next gen for Res 8 and by then we should get a better picture of how these two consoles stack up against each other.

In all honesty, it's not exactly an outstanding show even on series X. My opinion but graphic setting are a major letdown, LOD it's the lower possible, but well at least it's 4k native, so mixed setting has a sense there. Now on ps5, I find extremely strange see such game with a medium graphic setting setup for the most, struggle to run in 4k. AC Valhalla if I'm not wrong stay quite higher in the graphic setting on console and it's a free roam. But again engine are not all the same and maybe the fact is so "radicate" in the past generation, doesn't helps the ps5 development.

 

[Zathalus]

The fact the resolution is better doesn't implies you play better on it, especially if sometimes FPS could drops more there, I guess.

 

[Kataploom]

Neither in this case to be fair.

Do you mean neither console? I actually meant both, since both are running a BC version of games, currently multiplatform games are not being designed to take advantage of certain hardware specs.

We should be happy games run this much better as they do now while we wait for actual gen to start, specially hitman since, afaik, last one was very resource intensive (I may be wrong).

Nobody is able to see the difference between 4k and 1800p until they can.

No I said neither Hitman 3 represents exactly the gap expected between the 2 console, at least in the resolution difference.

oh sure..of course yes you (as everyone else) can be disappointed, God forbid, but it seems that everyone is just judging the performance so confusingly ..just because the xsx run it simply better. I honestly don't know what the expectations are and why you talk about expected performance .... are you aiming for a "lazy dev" situation? . That said the rest of your answer is superfluous .... honestly guys when multiple devs and people "in the know" including John l. from DF (famously closer to the sony platform) have all in one way or another declared that the XSX would actually improve its performance due to the strong immaturity (compared to the sony counterpart) of what we call "tools"..... why are we so surprised? sooner or later this moment had to come. We are always been talking about a console that has more tf, bw and cpu clock. More than anything else it was surprising what happened so far not the other way around. With this it is not said that all future comparisons will go the same way. we'll see if it happens .. it will only mirror what everyone expected given the specs on the paper

So basically according to his own criteria the only scene we can use to compare PS5 vs PC is the worst case scenario for PS5 against PC?

All the others games (COD, AC, Destiny 2, Dirt 5 etc.) and all the others scenes more advantageous for PS5 in Hitman 3 don't count? And that scene, one single frame, the worst scene ever for PS5 among all games tested until now, so thousands of hours of footage, is the basis of his comparison and it's going to be the norm for the whole generation?

Wow.

I think it's fair to compare only scenes where all the effects are present, yes. How can it be a correct assessment if one is under more workload that the other?

Same goes for consoles, why compare framerate on two versions running at different resolutions.

 

[Neo_game]

Does anyone know which cutscene they are making this assumption. The one where PS5 drops to 37 and SX to 32fps ? Yes it is huge drop from 60fps. But then again they game is not utilizing these console properly. It seems to be a port from last gen consoles. Even on PC with ultra settings at 4K the game only uses 4.7gb of Vram.
