We don't know what Sony API limitations are or if it's harder to work on compared to DX12, some games did perform better on XSX compared to PS5

SSD helps a lot with open worlds, not sure why FF16 was dropping frames crazy when i arrive at Kanvir and Rosalith, probably Luminous engine shitting the bed again
Xsx is suppose to its more powerful the fact tht so many are on par and Sony is winning faceoffs or going blow to blow says alot about PS5 engineering which includes many things including the use of more efficient apis.

FF16 uses the same engine as ff14, not Luminous.

Where it’s at.

Part of the issue is also that Xbox runs on a customized build of Windows, and even with a lot of stuff the console doesn’t need being removed from the OS, it is still a sloppy, inefficient OS. Windows spends 30% of its time basically putting its hand down its pants to make sure it’s dick hasn’t disappeared.

Well there's alot of excuses out there. The other being devs have to take Series S into account. The list goes on..

I mean FF 16 has done its job for Sony and even overstayed itx exclusive timeline. By the time this supposedly reaches Xbox, they'll be too busy fuming and begging for FF7 Rebirth which looks to be an even better game.

This port also wouldn't be available till after April I assume. At this point no one cares. Sony should just throw it in PS+ to take the wind out of that announcement whenever it happens.

That needs to be their strategy with timed exclusives. By the time one of them comes over to other platforms, they should already have the next one lined up.

I know I’m not the first person to say this, but isn’t it strange of these guys get all these rumors of games from PlayStation going to Xbox, but they never heard a rumor or said anything about Xbox going third party?

GPU only and it shows up in Alan Wake 2 as it runs smoother on XSX even at 4k30fps mode than PS5 but games like RDR2 and FF16 would benefit from the I\O bandwidth on PS5 also the Overclocked L1 cache.

Many 3P have stated that Sony's APIs are better than Microsoft's. Even Xbox/PC fanboys like Alex on DF have said as such.

And yes, some games perform better on Series X than PS5...but many more have been performing better on PS5 than Series X. It's less even to do with the systems rather than the engines (or engine modifications) the games are using, or certain ways of coding the programmers are used to.

I wouldn't bother. Pretty sure you're just arguing with yet another of sleepy's alts.

I don't disagree with your point but some people here claim PS5 is always better in running games but i look at some of them and it's not the case, not SSD or the APi helped there, look at Alan Wake 2 for example

The Series S has its own issues, but literally EVERYTHING running Windows underperforms for its specs due to OS overhead, which is over 30% on PCs. When Macs were still using Intel chips, running the same benchmarks on OS X and on Windows often showed much better results on OS X on the exact same machine.

The reputation of FF16 is in the gutter after the xbots and nintendrones completely destroyed it relentlessly since release (yes I know some people genuinely didn't like it but that's normal for every game).

Watch all of this go away as soon as it's announced for Xbox. "An underrated gem that should have been the GOTY" 🙄
