Rockstar Games at Ultra Settings are built for future generations of hardware. Always was. Look at how Rdr 2 runs at 15 fps with every setting maxed.
What a ridiculous statement, DF is about as unbiased as it gets when it comes to vg journalism. There really is no need for a mid-gen refresh cause the gen hasn't even really started yet we are just starting to see games being made specifically for the current gen.
You cant compare the endless possible configurations of PC's with TWO sku's of a PS5. They can still optimize for both.No it is not optional. Its effects certainly are not (on devs either and if this becomes a more and more frequent pattern you start bundling the worst of PC’s and PC API’s and the worst of consoles which are still user not upgradable closed boxes to hacking and modding) and by trying to get the very best as you say you make it all worse a bit at a time too and you will not get what you seek either. How was my argument wrong?
What console games needs is to allow developers more stability not less, what games need is greater and greater HW capability leaps (which are taking longer and longer to achieve) to give tangible results not smaller, what HW evolution needs is longer cycles to mature not less… and the answer is essentially to throw evidence and logic out of the window?
You know other places where these frequent iterative HW releases are optional? Mobile phones and PC’s, if you now imagine PC’s without the ability to change parts and cases yourself the picture becomes clearer and you can see how consoles following the same path would make the current problems worse.
These completely absurd and unfounded “bias” implications are getting old.
And like he constantly does when comparing PS5 vs PC, he will constantly search dishonest ways, and perspectives in order to make it look bad. Like using a 1000$ CPU and claim he is benchmarking GPUs etc.HeisenbergFX4
I'm pretty sure Bagaga will be the first who complains about the PS5 Pro after release.
He will likely do PC/PS5 pro comparison videos even he's not interested in the PS5 Pro.
They were not against XSS and certainly not against X1X and XSX. For the 2 latter consoles it was like the second coming of Jesus for them.I mean why would DF, a tech channel, be against new tech coming to market and give them free content to produce?
). Now if they'll get a new hardware they'll be more lazy as it is the case with PC (there is always a more powerfull GPU and CPU to handle thing that normally should be optimised better). That's why I always loved consoles gaming - you work with what you have and are trying to find better solutions. This is how games visuals progressed.
How 2024 can be too early when we are probably going to see next-gen in 2027. It's actually the last year for PRO version.Playing devil's advocate, DF has right in the way that it's too early for refresh and that the cost of parts is not as it used to for real gains. We still don't have proper next-gen titles. By that I mean games made using strengths of the systems. They are still made on older engines not utilising SSD's with their full potential. We only scratched the surface.
I know there are games now that are lower on resolution and fps. It mostly a fault of developers not the hardware (well in some way it is, but this is always a case with consoles
Now we can argue that with last gen there were similar worries and in the end PS4Pro and X1X were underutilised because base models were still a priority. It was like this then but now? I'm not so sure. We have many examples of games published in questionable state. Of course it's a bigger problem that combines with budgets and time restrictions (well those two are actually the same).
Some people are writing here that more then two versions of a game aren't an issue for dev. The are and it's like this from the start. More versions mean more work for the dev's and for QA (in theory each version should be tested separatly so with PS4, PS4Pro, X1 and X1X it were four games to test). In the end this is one of the reasons why pro version weren't looking better and got mostly resolution/fps bump.
I agree, if we look only at timeline it should be 2024/2025 (next-gen consoles will be probably 2027/2028). The problem is that mid-gen this gen isn't the same as mid-gen last gen (if that makes sense
).
Digital Foundry is an outlet that analysis video game software performance as well as hardware comparisons. They often compare software and hardware against one another, often competitors. It is absolutely vital to their credibility that they remain neutral and “unbiased” because their careers depend on it. An accusation of bias is a huge slander against their ethics which should not be taken lightly and should be supported with ample evidence. Instead, you post the usual ridiculous nonsense that “DF is biased!" people post: ridiculous and absurd misrepresentation of their opinions and claims, which are then followed up with a misplaced correlation to “prove” they are biased.
This is misrepresentation. Plain and simple. DF has done detailed analysis of both systems and have correctly established that the Xbox One X has better specs than a PS4 Pro, with the GPU being one of the largest differentiating factors. An analysis, mind you, that turned out to be completely correct and accurate: Xbox One X was a better machine that produced better results than the Playstation 4 pro.
DF was surprised that the Xbox Series X isn't performing better than Playstation 5 early in the generation, despite, on paper at least, having better specs. This led them to speculate that there might be another underlying issue or another cause for the performance issues that Xbox Series X was facing. What you're trying to do is frame this in such a way that this means that their analysis of the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro was inaccurate, which is utterly absurd. Worse still: You actually implied that them attributing the fact that Xbox One X performs better than PS4 Pro due to GPU difference means they are biased towards Microsoft. Of which, I remind you, you provided absolutely zero evidence for.
I can't wait to watch you misrepresent this as well.
Oh hey look. Another completely baseless claim of "Biased coverage" with no evidence to support it whatsoever.
Feel free to elaborate because this is just vague ramblings.
Uh huh.
at that stage he probably thought that 12TF will bring a big difference
xDDD
xDDD
You just don't know, why are you talking like you know when next gen consoles will release? Absolutely nothing indicates that they will come after 2028. The most likely outcome is 2024 : pro consoles, 2028 : next gen consoles
That was such a weird month with so many weird takes.
Also notice product placement of the one he isn't opening
xDDD
No, what it really is, is asking for you to back up any of your claims. Which you are unable to do so.
Well well well. Isn't this an interesting turn of events. We now have a mysterious GAF insider who had vetted information on how Microsoft wanted DF in their camp? The plot certainly thickens, I must say. Perhaps you could share who this mysterious GAF insider is? And how you vetted that his information is correct? No? Shame.
Citation needed.
Really? And why is he doing that huh? What is he "Actually" saying about a PS5 pro console?
It's not. What it really is, is correcting the misinformation and blatant inaccuracies that you posted in an attempt to portray them as biased. The only reason you label it as “emotional rambling” is because you don't want to engage with it because it requires you to back up your false and inaccurate claims. Which I, of course, predicted in the very post you're quoting. The accusations against Digital Foundry are always coming from fanboys, and they are always, without fail, baseless and unsupported by evidence.
Pros of owning a Series X: better box
I mean...it's part of the console's name so they better not kill the hype on that experience.Pros of owning a Series X: better box
I love how you think there is a contradiction here when there clearly is none.There was an article about this:
I asked developers why PC ports in 2023 run like garbage | Digital Trends
Nearly every major PC port has run into issues this year. Why? I asked some developers to find out.www.digitaltrends.com
Complete bullshit on DF side.
The Developer claims that shitty PC Ports are because of too many PC configurations.
But they say in this video It will be too hard to develop for two consoles??
Atleast it has that going for it...
but seriously in this whole DF conversation there's just too many receipts I remember them tripping over themselves just to point out the og xbox one's higher clocked cpu even if it had a 1-2 frame advantage. I mean maybe we can attribute the way they cover these consoles now to growth 
they don't fan the flames like they used to but it's still there every now and then
Yep, especially since RDNA3.0 is a complete flop when it comes to gen on gen performance increase. You are not getting 4k 60 fps. We might not even get 2x more performance like we got last gen. But it will be better than the sub 720p resolutions we are getting now in some 60 fps modes.
See how he's doing a fuck! Body language explains a lot.Also notice product placement of the one he isn't opening
When you compare a game and put two images side by side, the ps and xb version and you intentionally have chosen to pick different time/lighting effects or whatever you call it that allegedly give different reflections but to trick viewers to think they see a superior version when it's not, that's how dirty they could get for the clicks.
Only because he deliberately botched the opening. This is not how you open that kind of box. But it's really telling about how was his mindset at this point about a new Sony console: "Let's open that badly engineered from top to bottom shit"
It was clearly done on purpose. Goofy bastard is a poor actor.
… and they will not
