Red Thread Redemption
I'm thankful for this analysis, it's a nice comparison between the base machines and it's a bit more upbeat, it's also where the majority of us will play and I find it looks pretty solid across the platforms....The divide here is typical of PS4 vs XB-ONE, perhaps just a tad higher at a 56% uptick in resolution over XB-ONE....with some better AO and texture filtering.
NX says, there might be some reconstruction taking place and that dynamic resolution may be a possibility, but current reads speaks to a locked rez on these machines at 864p vs 1080p...(Unless Vgtech discovers something different..)...,but right now, DF and NX generally agree here as far as rez is concerned, but NX makes claim to the possibilty of DR, especially under this heavy TAA implementation here...
In the end, I think both versions will give a similar experience, I think framerate is pretty close on this one, though NX gives it to the PS4.....where it's a bit better there..
Mid Gen Console Analysis XBONEX vs PS4-PRO
These two analyses are properly the most detailed I've seen on the internet on RDR2, the video for the base versions and the mid-gen versions....He touches on aspects that was not discussed elsewhere and addresses many questions we were asking about in the other thread....Well I asked one of those questions (how does pro perform in 1080p mode, how does it look etc....)....
Summary:
XBONEX at 2160p, PRO at 2160CB
XBONEX looks sharper and clearer and performs slightly better, there's nothing in it tbh (I'm talking framerate here)....The two mid gen consoles are pretty much 30fps for the majority of the time and pretty solid.....
PRO at 1080p with no supersampling mode can look a bit better (vs 4K mode at times) with higher saturated colors and perhaps a better fixed perspective...from what I'm seeing anyway.....You also get, pretty much a locked 30fps in that mode, even in cutscenes.....PS4 also has a sharpening filter, but that was disabled for PRO or 4K mode, it's at minimum when outputting to a 4k screen and locked there.....
All in all, pretty solid experience on all machines, but Rockstar can still make some tweaks here and there on PRO to increase sharpness and IQ.....
Some staff has more patience than others.
I agree. I don't have much of a problem with the opinion but rather with the steering and actions that are behind that opinion. Silently changing posts to completely alter the meaning is a really weird post tactic: Making you appear like one was always right as a thread goes on.
The ability to post a thread or to edit the contents of one. May/may not include editing one's own posts aswell.
Whoever accused me of editing contents of the OP to change the author's take is verifiably false.....All I did was edit out grammatical errors which I normally do and in the OP's case, I edited in two clarifications in parentheses...The first, (I'm talking framerate), and not that there's "nothing in it" as far as REZ is concerned vs XBONEX, there's nothing in it as far as framerate on the mid-gen machines....My other edit was when I put in parentheses (vs 4k mode at times) to indicate that I was only talking about the PRO....In essense 1080p mode on PRO can look better than the 4K 1920x2160CB mode at times, I never made that comparison to XBONEX. I only did these edits for clarification because a poster in particular (FOXBAT) falsely accused me, when he said I was trying to say the PRO mode looks better than the XBONEX, when that is totally incorrect, I have never said such a thing. If anything, I am the one saying loudest how blurry the PRO mode is, that vanilla PS4 even looks sharper at times......How would I then say the PRO version is better than the XBONEX version....Sigh!....
There are 4 actually. So saying "the other one" isn't exactly precise
Turn HDR off for a cleaner picture, if you're still not satisfied, use the sharpening filter in 1080P mode, it should be available....Try it and report back...
Shouldn't 1920x2160 look better than 1920x1080 in general?
Depends on the game and the AA used. However the bigger problem is that aspect ratio, it is a problem because there are more pixels on the axis which normally has less.......It's a weird one, because such a resolution is only to be used as a base for CB, not to be displayed as the rez for the final image......So it's botched and IQ is worse because 1920 should be extrapolated to 3840, but apparently, that's not happening....
Well if it really is an issue, we should tweet R* about this see what they say. If this is what they intended then nothing can be done about it.
I don't think 8-bit color depth is your issue here, perhaps there can be more vibrancy or less color banding with 12-bit color, but you have a 4KTV and I think it should get more use at that rez, and the image in most media should still be superior there.....Most media you will be using will be 8-10 bit anyway.....Your normal blurays and streaming netflix should be 8 bit, though UHD blurays should be 10 bit depth, allowing for a higher value range for the RGB spectrum...
I'll try to do so....have not done that yet.....Not even Sony has said a thing....I know it's selling more on that platform, but they should still address this... IQ could be much better...
I think it's the locked framerate, it's locked even in cutscenes....
Ok thanks.
Sadly not, I covered this limit or at least potential reduction in 'options for the user' back with my Evil Within 2 video.
