Looks like a rough PS5 version.

 

[carloseduardocd]

Alex compared PS5 and SeriesX resolution side-by-side, but why he didn't compare FPS?


In the end, John said "PS5 runs little better, but looks little worse".


But a side-by-side comparison should be interesting to see.

 

[hlm666]

Softer than elton john at hooters. Better ways to spend your time on both new consoles unless you want to see what it looks like to need glasses........

 

[thatJohann]

Lazy port, runs unoptimized in all modes in all consoles. Hard pass.

 

[01011001]

this game needs a native port fast! and even then I am not sure this slightly modified Cryengine 3 thing can run much better.

Cryengine 2 and 3 are complete dogshit, sorry but it's true. I know they were conceived as the industry shifted from high clocks to multicore, but still.

the fact that they used the original Cryengine 3 console version as a base and not completely remake the game in Cryengine V was also a huge mistake imo

 

[Riky]

VRR wins out again.

 

[01011001]

VRR wins out again.

well sadly yeah... sadly that's the only way this game will look and feel even close to being smooth

In the end of the video there's some comparison. But Sounds interesting to see FPS comparison on mission 2, with more drops. Sounds interesting too to see FPS comparison on 1440p Ray Tracing mode. Aparentely, PS5 runs very better on software RT mode, and Xbox Series X has virtually same performance on quality mode, with highter resolution.

Because the game is super variable and there’s no way to get like for like shots in the most intense moments

DMC 5 Special Edition has many intense moments too, and they made this comparison.

And it was a train wreck with both sides posting out of context screenshots. They want to avoid that, especially john

Another piece of evidence for my theory that whenever the CPU gets really hammered, PS5 loses out bigly to the XSX due to the variable frequency. We'll see how the theory persists in the future when we get more next-gen games.

Aparentely, PS5 runs very better on software RT mode, and Xbox Series X has virtually same performance on quality mode, with highter resolution.

the PS5 RT mode runs at 1080p which is why it runs almost as good as the performance mode. as stated in the video, this game has higher CPU demand the higher your target resolution is, which is what inteoduces the framerate issues in high resolution mode even tho it can go downto 1080p like the performance mode, it runs worse. which usually wouldn't make any sense.

 

[mansoor1980]

game is over rated anyway , crysis 2 is the better game

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Alex is so happy in the video, not sure why.

 

[fatmarco]

So what was the point in porting Crysis to Cryengine 3/ 360 and Ps3 and subsequently using that core version for further ports if we were still going to have silly CPU related bottlenecks?

 

[Chris_Rivera]

VRR wins out again.

No shit

 

[Physiognomonics]

While they put a big emphasis of image quality comparison why have they kinda avoided comparing the framerate of both next gen versions? Odd. Another game where we'll really need VGTech or NXGamer in order to really compare objectively the versions.

But a side-by-side comparison should be interesting to see.

For whatever reason they often seem willing to side-by-side the aspects where the PS5 doesn't match the SX, while avoiding the direct comparison when the SX is at a disavantage.

Like, he mentions the fps difference, but unlike the resolution difference, they don't show the measurements.

If it ever happened the other way around We might think it's an editing error... But that seems to happen only in one direction.

 

[VFXVeteran]

This is a disgrace. The PS5/XSX versions look like PS3 era graphics. I'm simply dumbfounded at all the cuts that were made off their original vision in order to get 60FPS.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Another piece of evidence for my theory that whenever the CPU gets really hammered, PS5 loses out bigly to the XSX due to the variable frequency. We'll see how the theory persists in the future when we get more next-gen games.

I also have the theory that the variable frequency won't ruin performance based off what Cerny said. It would be odd to implement it if it would ruin performance instead of improving it.

It might be time for Crytek to give up on this game.
They've wasted countless hours on ports, remasters, and patches.
They clearly are not capable of delivering a perfect experience on this 13 year old game.

 

[squarealex]

Still a PS4 / XO version right ? Not a native app ?

Sadly, Crytek peaked with this game (even though both Crysis 2 and 3 are good) so they're clinging to it.

 

[fatmarco]

Yes so at best it's running in GCN mode, meaning for Series X it's only double the GPU performance of One X and PS5 should see a 2.5x increase in GPU performance over Pro.

 

[assurdum]

Is it really necessary to spread such stupid shitty old troll theory? Still the variable frequency nonsense? Again?

Easy crash grab with low cost production.

Time will tell if it's stupid. So far it makes sense to me, but we'll see.

 

[modiz]

Has ethomaz called the devs already, though.

Another piece of evidence for my theory that whenever the CPU gets really hammered, PS5 loses out bigly to the XSX due to the variable frequency. We'll see how the theory persists in the future when we get more next-gen games.

Actually it's quite the contrary as usually the CPU has more an impact on the framerate, and the framerate is better on PS5.

 

[assurdum]

No need time. It's stupid as hell. Explain where did you seen any issue in perfomance in any games relative to the variable frequency. If variable frequency was that impactful don't worry, you won't see any game on ps5 outperform the series X version and it would have been constantly beaten in every multiplat from launch.

 

[Shodan09]

VRR means another clear win for Xbox.

 

[OverHeat]

hahahahaha

 

[sinnergy]

At a lower resolution.. resolution has a big impact on frame rate . Maybe they should lower to 900p.

 

[DForce]

Still a PS4 / XO version right ? Not a native app ?

Yes, they say it's running in BC mode.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Im playing quality mode on X and think its fine.Game is outdated as hell anyways.

 

[ethomaz]

The resolution difference is expected because the game runs limited to PS4 Pro 1800p.

So better framerate is indeed the only surprise here.

 

[phil_t98]

Alex is so happy in the video, not sure why.

You reading more into it. He sounds exactly like he normally does. Poorly optmised game that’s all

 

[assurdum]

Yes so at best it's running in GCN mode, meaning for Series X it's only double the GPU performance of One X and PS5 should see a 2.5x increase in GPU performance over Pro.

"Only" the double is 12 TF GCN on series X where the increase of 2,5x in GPU perfomance on ps5 over the pro it's practically 9,25TF

 

[Bernd Lauert]

If variable frequency was that impactful don't worry, you won't see any game on ps5 outperform the series X version and it would have been constantly beaten in every multiplat from launch.

Pretty much all games we've seen so far don't stress the CPU at all (since they're built for Jaguar netbook CPUs), which means the PS5s GPU can run at max frequency without a problem. The few exceptions we've seen so far, where the CPU is under heavy load, have ran quite a bit worse. Avengers comes to mind, and now Crysis.

 

[fatmarco]

I thought 2.5x 4.2 was more like 10.5 lol (so roughly the 10.28 the PS5 actually has?)?

 

[assurdum]

Wel yes still lower than 12 TF eh ..

"We live in a post resolution era. Here are videos zoomed to 800x to show the little difference in res and we won't cover what we usually cover anymore, framerate."

Yeah I don't get it. Maybe there just wasn't really that much of a difference there too?

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Looks more like Switch quality mode.

 

[Venom Snake]

So roughly the ps4/pro version with better framerate, nothing revolutionary.

I expect such results from BC-mode, yes. But from Crytek i expected a little more.

Avengers runs better on ps5 .... at lower resolution. From when worst resolution is tied to CPU?

 

[namekuseijin]

remaster of the remaster for a 2007 game...

add something significant, like VR mode
