Wait so they only test exclusives? Would probably mean more if they actually got their hands on multiplatform games for a side by side comparison.

Why would any multiplat dev want to put themselves under the microscope?

I mean, in less than a month it won't matter anyways. Plus Dirt 5 is already out there. They could test both versions.

Just like the same people going after Dirt 5 for no other reason than they think it should look better than what it is.
I actually feel bad for the Dirt devs, they never claimed it was breathtaking or out of this world and they’re getting it rough from the gaming community.
Why you ask? Because it was shown on Xbox and didn’t meet the mythical next gen standard that’s been set in people’s minds.

Make no mistake, developers are no fans of multiplat comparisons. They put a ton of work in for it to be picked apart and then one fanbase or another to go ballistic
I dont anticipate any dev is putting that out before launch, let alone be the first to do it

Well that’s nice they’ll cover both. Seems they have just been pumping out article after article about Xbox recently.!

That SamyToupet sounds like a worst kind of entitled gamer.

If this isn't the definition of the pot calling the kettle, I don't know what is. DF has no room in regards to stoking the console war flames.

Poor xbox fans having to go to bat for a multiplatform game that will look trash on both consoles.

Sony never sent them a unit. You can't cover something you don't even have access too.
I assume they have one now.

DF say the UI video early and it's possible that Sony has sent them other stuff, too.

We know the real reason it's just because they wanted to attack the Series X.
Or "I don't want to spend 500 dollars to play the same games".

Dirt 2.0 Arguably looks better than Dirt 5.

This generation will be very interesting to say the least but we should get the gist of what the limits will be on these consoles pretty quickly. I think the first RT test head-to-head will be WD: Legion.

Enjoying games? Where the hell do you think you are?

But haven’t you heard? DF is secretly bought by Microsoft and they are conspiring against Playstation behind the scene and just favoring Xbox etc...

You know if there putting Bugsnax in with their launch console line up/showcase showing off the machine I don't think its completely unfair to put their graphics under the microscope.
If anyone is too blame for that its more Sony then anyone (No dev is going to turn down that kind of exposure).

Hehe yeah, asking the internet to be respectful. Never gets old. These smaller devs will get so much shit for not making their games 120fps native 4k fully raytraced on the new Uber-Consoles. 
Now the real question: when will the videos drop?

Sadly tho, most die-hard console warriors have been permabanned in the recent months, I'd love to see their meltdowns and/or excuses and spins. But adding to what John wrote, I'm actually more impressed with what indie titles have shown so far than the big AAA studios, especially the ones using UE4, we have reached a point where it's basically impossible to distinguish if the game is made by 100 people or just a single person other than its length/content, because when it comes down to visual fidelity, it's all on par, which is really good for us gamers.
Completely forgetting a multiplatform title is gonna perform even worse on a weaker hardware. Denial is one hell of a drug.

Nobody is entitled to all the games. Until early 2000s I believe multiplatform games were not that widespread.
Gaming is actually a luxury - I can for example afford to throw 3k on PC and never use for anything else rather than Skyrim - some people cannot afford another console.
Anecdotally Gen Z feels to be richer than millenials, so they are more likely to afford more consoles (though they don't need to).

DF is an awesome source that I refer for all technical analysis. Can't wait for their analysis on the PS5, please go easy on the 1000x magnifying glass analysis folks!

It may just be me, but it is somewhat ironic for John to say that he doesn't like cherry picked examples that show games in a bad light to fuel console wars, yet his job cherry picks examples of differing performance/graphics between multiplayer games that then end up fueling console wars.

People on this board and others unironically listing Bugsnax as a PS exclusive they’re dying to play.
The absurdity goes both ways. #listwarz and pixel-counting are about to become the most important talking points. Personally, I’m just interested in the multi-platform face offs. I would expect a PS3/ 360 scenario, where the former’s exotic hardware is exploited by in house devs for results better than 3rd party can achieve, but the latter performs better across the broader range of titles.
But we’ll see!

Because it has being historically the case with the previous consoles? The first games are usually already maxing the systems?

i'm with you if you are aware the side from where it will come from will vary based on content
I fully expect them to do good work as always but the melt downs are going to be tiresome from day 1.
Actually no we won't because games will start off being modified versions of PS4/Xbox One games & will take some time to be made around having RT hardware & SSDs.
