Games Analysis |OT| Time To Argue About Pixels And Frames!

Really enjoyed the excitement coming from John as he was walking Audi through the game. Seeing the OG Halo CE always brings back good memories.

Iā€™ll watch this. I donā€™t have the C1, I got C9 but there might be something useful.

EnAnalistaDebits on YouTube analyzed Elden Ring as well. According to a summary I read both PS5 and XSX are 2160p, PS5 has the slightly better framerate and better shadows.

Didnā€™t DF say X had a lower resolution too? Ah well. At the end of the day weā€™re all analyzing a game that is in the middle of development, when it releases it really should just be on par with PS5. Well, actually it should have the edge on Xbox, but not every dev goes the extra mile.

An analysis I saw on the Series S, the graphics mode was hitting similar frame rates to performance mode :skull: itā€™s safe to say the game is not in a representative state of performance. It SHOULD get much better come launch

This would be a normal conclusion for almost every other developer out there but we are talking about From here so I wouldnā€™t hold my breath. lol

As much as I love their games in the tech side of things they are truly incompetent even in the most basic kind of thingsā€¦like locking the damn frame-rate at 30fps on the Pro and One X (I seriously canā€™t understand the reason for leaving the frame-rate unlocked on these systems) and finally fixing this cursed frame-pacing. I honestly stopped expecting even the most basic stuff from them regarding performance and I have made my peace, Iā€™ll play and enjoy their games but I know that technical problems comes with the territory so I already have super low expectations.

True. I forgot to say that this is in quality mode and in my opinion isnā€™t the preferable mode because itā€™s 30fps and once you have a taste of this game in 60fps, especially with VRR thereā€™s no going back.

Wonder what the resolution is in franerate mode, probably dynamic 4K.

FH5 is so well optimised for PC hardwareā€¦ Itā€™s raising my hopes for an xbox portable

Yeah itā€™s a shame. At least they did finally got a very decent AA solution ever since Sekiro really, so thatā€™s improvement. I donā€™t expect them to go the extra mile for XSX with this game, but at least have them make it on par with PS5. Visual fidelity should not be any better on inferior hardware, thereā€™s just no excuse for that.

Yeah this was a great watch. Shocking like always to see how fuzzy/stuttery the game was, so used to the MCC version now.

Not at all surprised because it runs well and looks good on the Xbox One, which is a bit of a cake walk for a modest PC to reach nowadays.

It is why I think we will see a noticeable jump for FH6 even though FH5 looks stunning.

This is implying One X runs the game 60fps better and higher resolution than the Series S, right?

If yes, then WTF, 343

yeah john is specifically super confused on the technical state of the game.

343 probably need some managerial and development restructuring especially now with wfh. Iā€™m happy for and with Infinite but you get a sense many aspects should have been much better for a 1st party studio and considering the scale and support of 343.

Definitely some hurdles along the development period but as John mentioned, most of these issues could be fixed and hope they do soon.

Thatā€™s an understatement probably lol

Really hope it was development hurdles unique with Infinite because they rebuilt their engine and stuff, and doesnā€™t span the studioā€™s structure and culture, etc. I want 343i to be in an ā€˜optimalā€™ status of execution, polish and delivery that 1st party studios should be at.

Only watched the first 10 minutes or so and itā€™s an interesting video so far. With how late it is, Iā€™ll have to save the rest for tomorrow.

Johnā€™s description in the video is encouraging:

Halo Infiniteā€™s campaign can finally be fully revealed and the news is good. 343ā€™s take on the open world is great, combat is the best itā€™s been in years and audio is sublime. Problems in the tech department take off some of the sheen, but 343 tell us that key issues are already being fixed for a post-launch patch. And ultimately, even as it stands, the developers have delivered one of the best first-person shooters of the last decade.
