It’s fixed on PS5

Great! It always rankles me when a bug is keeping something from working as it should

Biggzy · April 19, 2021, 11:45pm

So now all next gen versions have been fixed and are in good shape lol.

No-1HoloLens-Fan · April 22, 2021, 6:00pm

AVG resolution is 1440p. Rarely reaches 4k.

Frames dip in stressful scenes 55-60

Ground texture Poppin visible

Gameplay looks good. And setting as well.

Those numbers don’t seem too bad to me? It’s a small team right? I’m not familiar with any of their work.

Funny cause other places are celebrating the statement that this game is 4k 60fps with Ray tracing, looks like the real world performance is far from that.

Biggzy · April 22, 2021, 9:02pm

Honestly the fact it averages at 1440p with ray tracing and with solid enough performance is actually quite impressive. You don’t need to try and make out the game runs at 4K to make the game’s technical aspects seem impressive.

Actually, people were doubting that statement. There’s no game that does 4K at 60 with RT on console, but 4K res is what Sony has always pushed in their promo, even with the PS4 Pro. It happens on the Xbox side too. 4K is more selling than 1440p. But I will say that IQ is more important than resolution. The dip to 55 and texture poppin with an high-end SSD is far more “concerning” imo.

It’s ray traced GI which is really cheap using svogi.

Biggzy · April 22, 2021, 9:42pm

Cheap or not, the PC space shows that RDNA is not on the same level as Nivdia when it comes to ray tracing performance so to get it running at an average 1440p and 60fps without the need for DLSS is quite impressive in my opinion. This is also in conjunction with the games other technical aspects.

SVOGI can be done via software on the Nintendo Switch. Its what Crysis uses. DF coverage @ Crysis Remastered: this is what ray tracing looks like on consoles | Eurogamer.net

Essentially, global illumination is typically precalculated or ‘baked’ on most games. Instead, SVOGI delivers a real-time global illumination system that offers both ambient occlusion and indirect light bounce, delivering a standard of realism that easily eclipses the last-gen ports and indeed the lighting found in the PC original. It’s surprising to see this on Switch but as I understand it, SVOGI is highly scalable. According to the team responsible for its conversion, this implementation of the systems runs at a very low resolution on Switch but the primary optimisation work centered around optimising data formats to reduce size, limiting the distance rays can be traced into the octree and using smaller kernels. Naturally, this reduces precision which can lead to more visible light leakage and light rippling in some cases but it still works surprisingly well. Presumably, the PC and other console releases will use higher precision.

Seems like this game would had been a great beneficiary of VRR.

BRiT · April 22, 2021, 10:07pm

If they had VRS it may not have needed VRR.

Interesting how this game is using the Dragon Engine and is 4k60, while Yakuza Like a Dragon is not.

Staffy · April 22, 2021, 10:59pm

Huh, wait. Lad is not 4K(dynamic) with 60fps? But we have Zero which is like 1440p and 60fps.

proelitedota · April 22, 2021, 11:15pm

Lad is either 1440p 60 or 4k30 on the X. It’s probably because Judgement is a port.

ElPutoXD · April 23, 2021, 1:53am

The Xbox tools got better?

proelitedota · April 23, 2021, 3:44am

It’s also 4k60 on PS5. Maybe they optimized the engine a bit differently for this game.

No-1HoloLens-Fan · April 23, 2021, 3:45am

Even RT is very subtle!
