Not really. Control, Metro Exodus and RDR2 on PC look a lot better than on consoles to the point I think they are the best looking games on the market.
As with most cognitive dissonance cases, they'd probably rationalize it by saying that the Microsoft money dried up or some other unfalsifiable claim. I've yet to see any smoking guns. Even smoke. All I see are trainee Boy Scouts trying to rub wet sticks together.
It's what they don't say that's the problem. Blatantly giving false information would kill the channel. They've, admittedly, changed their angle to be more positive. Which means outside of fps issues, you're not going to find real critiques. John will spend 5 minutes telling you about some parallax snow footprint technology that's just amazing, but conveniently leave out none of the objects in the game have any physics. DF Retro's are a lot better because I guess enough time has passed since the game's release that it's more fair to look at all the game's shortcomings and compromises, which to me is a lot more interesting.
I think the divide on that front largely comes down to platform. Console gamers and those on PC with crappy machines? Probably not. Those of us who are used to framerates > 60 though...we most certainly do. Hell, I can feel a drop to 59FPS...or imperfect sawtooth framepacing caused by being capped just below refresh (for example a 59.94FPS cap on a 60Hz refresh). The singular dropped frames are very noticable to my eye...and they bug the shit out of me.
Examples? And how does that lead to the conclusion that they favor one console over another?
lmao. i am dying here.
I don't think they favor either console, they're shills for all of them. The Gears 5 tech breakdown missed a lot of details like just how little interactivity there is in the world, less so than even in Gears 2. It's hard for me to give you examples for things they don't say. Just watch any tech breakdown they do, it's always positive at the expense of deeply diving into the tech behind games.
I mean ofcourse most 3rd party games look better on the One X, unless you want to pull the NX Gamer card like he did with Red Dead Redemption 2 and make more LastWords happy.
Okay, but you realize that is not a convincing argument since it requires a subjective reading between the lines interpretation.
Do YOU have any kind of credentials to say anything?
i always wondered has any independent testers verify DF snazzy graphs and data?
I can't speak to their console data but I can confirm their PC data tends to be accurate, aside from a few very rare occasions which can be chalked up to error. I use it all the time when I run into a game that doesn't run quite as nicely as I'd like...well...them and Hardware Unboxed. Beats spending hours working out the percentage improvements and testing multiple settings to optimize performance with next to no image degradation myself.
