- PS5 is 1440p. Performance is mostly 60 fps with the checkpoint stutters the game launched with and affect all versions, and some rare dips during the most intense sequences. It has double buffer vsync which is not present in the Series consoles versions. This means that when the frame rate does skip a few frames the game dives to 30 fps. The triple buffer found on Series consoles would've been a better choice.

- Series X is 1440p too but some scenes that show performance dips on PS5 fail to hit the frame rate at all on Series X. The prerendered cutscenes are capped at 30 fps instead of the 60 fps of PS5 version, and suffer from frame pacing issues.

- Series S is 1080p, as you would expect, but performance is pretty bad, and the cutscenes are capped to 30 fps too.

What an odd game to cover.

Whoever decides to use Unity as an engine needs to get fired. It is so trash for 3D games.

another one.

 

[DenchDeckard]

What the hell is with that video being 30FPS on series consoles. Higher FPS in gameplay though. Just weird.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Has anyone played this that has played the originals(I mean the classics)? Curious how it holds up, if its as hard and creative or should I just pass. Had it on my wishlist forever.

You could say it's an odd world we live in.

 

[onQ123]

I expected a higher resolution on Xbox Series X like what happened with The Touryst & The Medium when they was released months later on PS5.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

I heard performance was rough even before it hit Xbox.

Maybe that was just a bullshit excuse thrown by some people?Or maybe I missed the sarcasm in your post...Or both.

Nope, it's almost as if devs tried to use as much of the power in this consoles and within their budget to make the games looking as good as possible.And that some engine will work better on one and other on the other...While keeping in mind that the differences are negligible anyway.But that is a hard fact that no console warrior seem capable to deal with.(Just to be clear I don't think you are a console warrior, in case it was ambiguous in my phrasing)

I found it frustratingly hard in parts and gave up. Shame, came in with full commitment to finish it

 

[Shmunter]

Is that you Bo?

 

[YCoCg]

This game is such an oddity (heh) in how much work has been put into it but how mediocre some of the results are, both PS5 and Series X should be capable of rendering more than 1440p for this game, the Unity stutter should've been addressed years ago, etc.

 

[ethomaz]

Seems like a good experience on PS5.

Framerate is good and the transition from 60-30-60 fps in games is worst than a fully constant lower fps… I should have 30fps fixed than these weird transitions (not first game to have that issue btw).

 

[akaFullmetal]

Ehh cinematics 30 fps with frame pacing on Xbox, ugh. Hope they fix that and if not then get on PS then.

 

[GHG]

Series S looks great as expected. What an amazing little box.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

What a waste! This game looked too soft at 1440p on next gen consoles with its AA solution and low res textures. To call this "enhanced edition" and not boost the resolution is a joke!

I don't think Ori is a 3D game.

Yes. Bo_Hazem is on the poster on the left.

 

[Riky]

You would expect better but it seems at least Series X delivers where it matters with nice smooth gameplay.

 

[Rivet]

Another one for PS5 with better framerate and 60 fps cutscenes vs stuttering 30 fps cutscenes on Series X. It's a clear trend at this point.

For what it's worth, Matrix runs better on PS5 too (see analistadebits video or the other comparison video already out).

I guess we have our Sony Riky counterpart.

It amazes me that we are interested to know how we are all wanting to know who won but don't care to listen to DF as they spent most of the video complaining about the both performances and inexcusable stutters, performance targets and other issue.

Unfortunately, the small developer team does not seem to be experienced enough to tackle all these issues or low on resources. I mean even after what? 7 months? and they did not remove the stutters from PS5. What optimization would you expect on Xbox series?

 

[Pagusas]

how does this game series still exist? I've never met a single person who has actually played/enjoyed/continued with these games sense the very first playstation.

 

[RAIDEN1]

This game should be on Gamepass, seeing as it was a freebie for the PS5 when it launched..

 

[Sosokrates]

I can tell you now the PS5 and XSX are identical visually but the PS5 smoother framrate when driving legally band not crashing, on XSX theres more dips when driving.

Because the game sells way more that what it needs to fund a sequel.
In 2014 they said if the game sell 500k units at $30 it was enough to fund a future sequel and Oddworld games sells around 1 million copies.

So they continue making games.

Where's this console going to be in 4 years time.

 

[rodrigolfp]

- PS5 is 1440p.

- Series X is 1440p

The 8K marketing for both is misleading in my opinion. However with the PS5 it at least has one title that renders internally at 8K however the console only outputs it as 4K. Still i wouldn't use that to brag about it being an 8K capable system since those cases will be extremely rare on both platforms.

Didn't they lower some settings on the Medium to hit the higher res?

 

[onQ123]

When the game released on Xbox Series X it also didn't have raytracing so I don't think the higher resolution came from not having raytracing they probably just decided that it wasn't worth the effort.

I think the RT was on XSX from the beginning. Time stamped.

I thought for sure they did a update that added ray tracing to Series X post launch like they did PS5
