[DF]MASS EFFECT Legendary Edition PS5 vs Xbox Series S/X

That was due to some games using what was called asynchronous loading to stream data from the CD or DVD back then. There's no reason to do an integrity check in BC loading with games on the HDD.

well then it doesn't really make much sense does it? PS4 games on PS5 are clearly throttled in terms of loading speed. we see sometimes massive disparities between Series X and PS5 even tho the PS5 has a way faster SSD. we even see games loading faster on PS4 Pro when using a decent SSD with it... which is even more odd
the question is why Sony thought they need to do this or if they even did it on purpose or if it is just some oversight? maybe some games ran into issues? it's hard to tell as an outsider why

I'm playing through ME1 on PS5 at 1080p 60fps and loving it as much as I did back in 2007, until I get a 4k Monitor later this year I'm fine with its looks tbh
It's probably supersampling so it looks much, much better than a native 1080 image.

We know this is a PS4 and Xbox One comparison because EA didn’t bother to make a native app.

the question is if a native version would be of any benefit. does the PC version have better settings than the quality mode on console? if so then yes, a native version would be better. but if not, there's not much to improve

In visuals no. it'd probably run much better though. PS5 for sure seeing how its BC works, but I imagine those drops in the 120 mode on the X would be lessened too .

it would be a pretty minor improvement overall tho. most likely not worth porting Unreal Engine 3 to the new systems. people underestimate that often times. this is also the reason there's no native app for Rocket League yet, the devs would singlehandedly need to port the whole engine to the new consoles since there's obviously no native support from Epic games for UE3 on SX and PS5

I guess the difference might not be enough to justify the cost, if it did I imagine there would already be one. I'm still a little annoyed that indie devs bother making native PS5 apps for older games but EA couldn't give a darn for a new big release.

This game is not even optimized for the ps4. Heard the pro version run like ass. I question DF not prioritize testing on last gen where most people will play on it.

Since we playing list here, I will list it, so all of you don't have to list it on most recent games. Crash 4, Tony hawk and MLB for ps5. Avanger, Outriders and RE8 for series x.
He asked for new games 🤷‍♂️ That’s the only “new” game I know of lol

re8 is debatable with no loading screens and dual sense implementation. the rtx mode doesn't look good and run like shit on both consoles
I finished the game on the PS5 and am playing through it now on the XSX. Both in RT mode and the XSX version is MUCH more stable than the PS5. The PS5 version had some serious frame drops in the reservoir area while the XSX version doesn't.

RT mode in Village only runs like shit on the Series S, it's pretty good on Series X/PS5.

VRR, maybe.

In one cutscene over 3 games, not even in gameplay. Nice way of trying to frame it to fit your fanboyism though 👍
That does not mean that EA, shouldn't do a native port, it's embarassing as much as I love this game, probably going to be my GOTY....again : D

I agree he exaggerated here, but gamers should demand better. It was poorly optimized for the ps4. Man, I wish DF include testing on last gen where most people play on. They really rush it out here.

Yes they said” hey let’s shot on the biggest user base.. on purpose!! Mwhahaha!!”
 
Looks like a good remaster to me, I'll pick it up for my PS5 at some point. I do wish that Bioware would of done a native version, but it is what it is.

Legit question. Why are you buying 2 copies of every game to play both of them on different systems? Considering the majority of your posts in gaming is warring for Xbox; why are you buying games on ps5, only to replay the same game on Xbox?

Some kind of weird gloat fetish?

I'm seeing people say that it's because BC. Would it be a lot better on the PS5 if it was a native version?

we dont know how much effort it takes to do a native port though. its not like the ps5 and xsx versions are gimped. they get their own resolutions and framerates. the only thing lacking is a 120 fps mode which isnt a big deal since almost no one has those tvs.

the game runs pretty much a locked 60 fps with only stress test areas dropping into the high 50s and that one drop to 30 during a cutscene which is literally just one instance. i really dont think its embarrassing.

whats embarrassing is xbox fanboys trying to take that 31 fps drop and pretending as if its a valid comparison.

I would say that if someone had the dev kits, it was EA, so in that sense, I would expect EA to deliver native version, I love these games and I love the Legendary edition, but I believe to use modern APIs it would be even better. But That's just guessing.
 
I usually hate repetitive jokes, but I literally love seeing the new pictures of DJ Khaled in every thread. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

Another One.
I like the meme, but I can't tell if:
1: it's because Xbox won
2: ps5 won
3: whoever post them does this only to troll whatever because the victories are more or less insignificant

Honestly I’ve not bothered to watch the video but it doesn’t surprise
Me DF would pick a choose a cutscene of one instance of one huge drop to show in their analysis’.

Xbox back compatibility is superior to PlayStation we all know this. Only comparisons that matter are games with native next gen versions.
