Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
* PS5: Typical 1800p. PS4 Pro: Typical 1440p. Base PS4: Typical 900p
* Some DRS may be in effect
* Ground detail and distant shadow map, real time shadow map, bloom lighting, DoF and number of background NPCs takes a hit between PS5 and PS4.
* PS4 Pro is a middle ground and had some settings from PS5 ( DoF, NPC, Bloom) and other similar to PS4.
* PS5 and SX stack up identically with minor object/NPC placement differences.
* SX had a slight camera skipping issue and some performance dips in 50s.
* PS5 has both of the issues present but is still mostly very solid.
* PS5 and SX seems to trade some dropped frames in different places.
* PS4 and Pro lock at 30 FPS. Both suffer from stutter, asset streaming issues near constantly.
* Between the stutters, it runs fine without frame pacing issues.
* Pre-release patched PS4 and Pro had unlocked frame rate and both ran at 900p.
* PS4 Pro was a very solid near 60 FPS in smaller areas but dropped heavily during city.
* Which explains why it was locked to 30 FPS.
* XBO and One X had 2+ minute load times for the initial load.
* Load times are much faster on PS4 and Pro, almost half of XBO and One X. However it's 2x the install size so has more duplication.
* PS5 has 42 second load times compared to 38 seconds on Series X.

Barely missed the top spot for GOTY 2021 for me, beat out by Dread.
One of my favorite games.

Fun game. Played some on Game Pass, but might have to buy it on PS for the Platinum.
This game is a bit notorious for long load times, it would seem.
42 seconds to load on PS5!?

It has a long initial load time. Then you basically never notice it. Very large areas. If you ever fast travel, it has a cinematic for the taxi.42 seconds to load on PS5!?

Great game. Well worth the time.
Although the backtracking in some areas did get tedious.
Forget the nit picking of performance etc. it’s a solid game

Not on consoles, I believe. PC only.

I bounced off it pretty quick. It's pretty but I couldn't get on with it. Nice to see it's a good port.

Super good game that everyone should try. One of my favorites from last year and that’s saying a lot.
A very good game that comes wrapped under a sublime visual and artistic work.
It is incredible that it is the work of only 12 people and has those production values. PS users, you have to give it a try.
P.S. Are they using the latest version of XBOX？ Some gameplay cuts are the same as the first video of the launch and since then it has seen many patches and updates.

I'm glad the game was on GamePass, not worth a dime, has some great ideas but they all fall short, I had huge high hopes for it too, but it was too tedious and dull, I was playing it solo, maybe it's one of those YOU NEED TO PLAY IS CO-OP BRO games.
Has the game been patched to be any better on Xbox Series X? Or is it still full of odd bugs?
From this tech breakdown it looks like the dev doesn't understand how to develop console games at all.

Where are the non-crossgen AAA multiplatform games so that anyone will actually honestly care for any sort of comparison like this? At this rate DF will have to close down before we get there.

Everyone should ignore this post. "Not worth a dime." Give me a break. I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but this is completely, objectively absurd.
One OBJECTIVE view to another.
If this game wasn't on GamePass it would be a hard pass, if I had bought it, I'd feel let down. Your GOTY on The Accent is objectively absurd.

You come out with these summaries pretty quickly after the video comes out. Do we have an undercover Digital Foundry guy here?

Might be a fun game for trophies. I'll wait for a sale or release on PS+.

I don't want to hype up people needlessly. I get that some people don't like the game. But some of the hate seems exaggerated to me, big time. I honestly don't understand it, but I guess that's your perspective. I was shocked at how impressive the game is on multiple fronts.

Graphics, art design, lore, weapons. It's not even an expensive game.Only flaws I'd say I saw are some side quests being filler, map being a bit odd to use at first, and some areas with poor combat balancing. But I was able to still beat the whole game without much trouble playing solo.

What i really wanted was some dualsense implementation in this game.

adding to that, Series X runs at a dynamic 2160p, Series S at a dynamic 1440p, One X at a dynamic 2160p and Xbox One/S at a dynamic 900p
since all of these are dynamic, I almost bet all the PlayStation versions also use a dynamic res, would be weird if not tbh.

Probably dynamic 2160P to be fair.

probably. I hope VGtech will do one on this as they go more in-depth with their pixelcounting

Hopefully VGtech does a better job. I'm expecting both to be extremely close though.

I guess since they release less videos on average and have noone commentating which in return mens cutting their videos and editing is way faster, they have way more time looking into small details. hence why they have way more detailed info on stuff like dynamic res ranges etc.

I know everyone loves their charts. That's one thing I would love to see sites like DF do.

38-42s loading time on these machines should be a fucking crime.

Not bad. But, dang. Those load times lol.

Quite surprised that the series X takes this. I would have thought the extra dev time for ps5 would have clinched it. Seems to be higher resolution and better loading times on the series x.
This was a shit joke post.

Can you substantiate this claim or is it just Tales from our arse episode 900?

Apparently, the haptics syncs with the bass in the music. Haven't tried it though.

42 second load times, yikes.
No, but that's pretty bad, and a clear sign of an "unambitious" PS4 -> PS5 port that hasn't been rewritten to take advantage of the new storage APIs etc. Basically they just took the PS4 version, upped some of the graphics settings, and ticked the "build for PS5" box.

The game basically never loads again during your playthrough.That loading time has no place in PS5
Yes its still high I do wonder what its doing.
But being a diablo-lite each of your sessions will be fairly long and the game will basically never load anything again until you reboot.

It was only labelled as XSX vs PS5 for the clicks.
The video is actually a PS5 tech review with a few mentions of the XSX version.

You're slowly morphing into some darkmage/riky hybrid and its sad to see.
