[DF] Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition: PS5 vs Xbox Series X - Image Quality + Performance Tests

Could be ps5 runs at lower resolution. Still I checked the video multiple time, even the part about the zoom with "significant" higher resolution on series X. The sharpness is virtually identical, you have to check the fine edges in some spots to find the difference. I don't know what of noticeable difference they talking about, it's purely math difference in the end. At least they would show some clear picture about it, because such reconstruction works really well, how they can define noticeable something so trivial without a clear comparison side by side, I don't get it. Still I invite someone to post some pictures at this point.

I don't know how you manage to get away with your little crusades, but with how it's been lately here it won't last long.

Back on topic... Games good, obvious advantages to each hardware as expected this gen. Looking forward to see what can be done for a game like this that is built for next gen. Leaving the old stuff behind.
 
They also said the advantage is only mitaged a little regarding performance. 1-2 fps difference and probably a random area having issues on xbox series x which will be patched like most games. Sorry, but you lose.

My life is ruined then.:/ LOL At least i have not lost touch with reality

Series S dips below 1080p too just like PS5.

Even lower.

Xbox series X has better load times, performance with VRR enabled, graphics/resolution, and sound thanks to Atmos.

Btw. you have a section where PS5 is loads better. LOL. PC is the fastest. Btw. game is analyzed without VRR, so, performance isn't better.

Nope, reality is quite good for us xsx guys.

Actually, reality is really rough for you. Since 2013. :/

Do you mean XSX? Hiding behind PC? I guess you have no choice since you aren't getting star field and elder scrolls. In the DF article, it says the game loads better on XSX. Things have been good for us Xbox guys especially lately. Got to play many games for a cheap price with XGP while PS5 owners have to pay over 70 dollars just to play a 15 hour game lol.

The problem is I suspect he is done a bit of cherry picking here. He shows open-world resolution (and as you said hard to spot the difference) but oddly this time he doesn't talk about cutscenes (res / framerate) or resolution during combat. He said min resolution should drop lower on PS5, but without proof of this. Only a guess.

Remember when he specifically tested a photo mode in Control in order to show the only area that showed framerate advantage on XSX? In others games he often shows framerate tests about demanding cutscenes (like in RE8) or Hitman 3.

I don't doubt the average res could be lower on PS5, but what I am saying is that he is doing cherry picking in order to talk about the biggest difference when it could be only visible in specific scenes (like empty open world scenes), and much less in others kind of demanding scenes where the PS5 has actually the framerate advantage (like in combat scenes with plenty of alpha effects).

I'm not hiding behind PC. LOL. PC is included in that comparison. So, XSX isn't the fastest. Also, you deliberatelly ignoring the part in the video where PS5 loads faster too.

I admire your mentality.

I'm going by the article which seems to be what you were referring too as well in this thread. Xbox is a tad better in load times which is enough for you to claim victory on performance while ignoring the fact the PS5 goes below 1080p lol.

Was it really because of it? Really? To anybody that understood what they were going for, they used as a sort of benchmark, because the opportunity presented itself due to the way photomode is done in Control. Maybe you guys should start bringing receipts for these accusations of yours, everytime DF isn't hyping up your console of choice.

Actually, PS5 never drops below 1000p. Lowest is 1015p actually.



Ah, VRR excuse. Sure. Everyone loves VRR excuse. So, what is the excuse for higher CUs count on XSX GPU and almost 2 TF which is sooo important for RT performance, yet it performs worse than PS5 and stutters like crap?

Spending money on a good display is an excuse?

I don't ignore the article. And article is referred to video and vice versa. XSX does have better load times, but also PS5 has better load times it seems according to video in some cases. Same as XSX has better fps in some cases, but overall PS5 performs better. Don't worry. I'm not ignoring the fact that PS5 dips below 1080p ( never did at all ) No need to spin that i did. But also XSS range is 1080p, where XSX dips to 1080p as lowest. Yeah, we won't ignore that, aren't we.

Okay, then we can't ignore when Digital Foundry said XSX version was the clear winner. They said CUT and DRY advantage.

Why are the colors so weird on Series X? Regardless, it's on sale right now at 70% off on PSN so I bought that version already. Never finished it on Game Pass before it left.
 
Hell no, this is a special edition that is specially tailored to run with RT GI

This version of game does not even run on PS4/Pro/One/One X or any non-RT GPUs

Does the XSS lose anything in this version?

I looked at the charts and it seems it has all the features. The XSS is a lot weaker than the other two so it must lose something.

I went with the XSX version.
That Atmos surround support is the difference maker.

I could be mistaken but Isn't 1015p below 1080p?

It is lol
XSX > ps5 .

It is, yeah. But also XSX dips to 1080p which is XSS max res. Probably same ballpark then :/

Funny how this matters when PS5 is better than series S but suddenly doesn't matter when series X has the advantage over PS5...

Funny thing is when PS5 has advantage over XSX and his almost 2TF advantage, but that doesn't matter, i guess

But you can see that difference between XSS and PS5 is huge (almost 4x the pixels) vs "only" (over) 20% that XSX offers beyond PS5?
 
These comparisons have become boring. Resolution better on XSX. Frame rate better on PS5.

Even then, they are usually so close to each other that the difference in practical application becomes almost mute. I find it funny that fanboys, after years of accepting sub-1080p/30fps games and hollering from the top of the mountain how AMAZING whatever game is, are arguing over percentage points of resolution and framerate. At this point when we are so much further down the spectrum in performance and resolution that to try and make some definitive judgement one way or the other becomes hilarious.

As primarily a PC gamer that's been playing at 1440p+ resolutions and 144hz for literally 8+ years and playing off of SSD's even longer than that and being completely dismissed in the past as just superfluous fluff, find it hilarious to see these arguments now. It's never important until your side can do it and in these instances the differences are so damn small that the arguments are literally over percentage points of such insignificance that it's comical. I love it guys. Never, EVER change.

Sit back and enjoy.

Console warriors never include guys like you because they know their plastic boxes get smoked. Also, no console ecosystem supporter ever dares compare number of games and price of games on Steam/GOG/humble bundles etc... vs. console digital marketplaces.

And console fans saying PC is overrated because only a small % of PC gamers have awesome rigs to play ultra settings, you can say them to them too. Only a small % of console gamers have PS5/Series X too. The vast majority of console gamers are still playing PS4 and Xbox One from 2013 technology.
