Digital Foundry's Callisto Protocol's Analysis PS5 vs XBX/S
- Thread starter thelastword
- Start date
It's almost as if tailoring the API to the specific hardware and running a lean, sleek OS has some tangible advantages, isn't it?
If only it could make games appear...That 30% more GPU power on Series X should make up for any lack of dedicated optimisation no?
Remember, a game in development hell could be the greatest game ever, but a released game can be a complete, utter and total disappointment!
But a fanboy doesn't lose if the game in development hell never releases. Remember how Crackdown 3 was going to be the most awesome thing EVER? Then it came out. On the other hand, there was that trailer for the game Black Tusk was making for XBone, which we were all told would be amazing, then Black Tusk was changed into The Coalition and that game evaporated, but some were still talking about how amazing it would have been...

Lol, now it's up to 30%, man I remember when it was 18-20%, funny when people only used one metric to make these percentages near launch, whilst PS was leading in more areas including GPU Clocks. The XSX rops run slower, it has worse cache performance. PS5 has better interconnects for GPU to CPU to Memory/SSD. The Series X's mixed 10GB high bandwidth and 6Gb low bandwidth is a huge bottleneck when any game is going to use high end textures or RT. Truth be told, RT loves memory and higher quality RT will require better textures and memory and it will just siphon this memory bandwidth, the PS5's hardware optimizations/interconnects , one consistent and large memory pool will always prove more beneficial in these scenarios.That 30% more GPU power on Series X should make up for any lack of dedicated optimisation no?
Yet, it's true, ain't it. I remember Dealer was telling folk Series X will be 50fps faster. Some Ecco the Dolphin dev was saying Series X could do 4k 120fps whist PS5 could only do 1080p 60fps, rumors of the RE8 saga by Golem is still a hallmark at the height of the FUD campaign. Never forget.....People are still having issues coming to terms, 2023 will come with lots of tears for some folks.
Certain types just see X86-derived CPU and think the whole system will be architected like a standard PC, since that is what MS has done for three of the four generations of consoles they have released, as if you can't use a chip in different ways for different applications.
He can just play the superior non broken PS5 version. I wonder if he'll set up a video talking about how the difference in FPS matches the difference in memory bandwidth for the consoles as well, that was very enlightening.
Does that picture remind anyone else of "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!"?

Right. So we are in a console war debate again? And the PS5 is the more powerful of the two consoles. Gotcha.

No, I'm a punchline because people love to spout off how superior a particular console is and don't like hearing anything that puts it in a "normal" category. I'm sorry but I'm not going to participate in the circle jerking.

Playing on Series X. 14 hours into the game and the only single issue I had was falling through an elevator platform to my death. Second time, no issue though and was able to get where I was supposed to go.
Game itself though is great. The dodge move is bad mainly because it's tied to the left analog stick as opposed to an actual button but once you get the hang of it, it's not as bad. Of course, once you start getting guns and upgrading them, the need to dodge attacks is pretty much gone since you'll be shooting and thus, the negative that is the dodge doesn't really matter all that much anymore. Overall, game is looking like an 8-8.5 for me. Will wrap it up on Monday since I know im close to the end.

You do realize you just described yourself right there, don't you?
You are a punchline because you are the perfect embodiment of Dunning-Kruger syndrome.
I love it when those guys pick and choose stats to try to use as proof of hardware advantage, but only when it's the XSX version of a given game that is performing better.
When The Touryst could render at 8k on the PS5 but not the XSX, it was all a debate of "but is it really necessary" and dismissing the game itself.
If they were honest, they would never feed the console warring, but I suppose that's not their job.
