Its because the DF video wasn’t a performance review video, it was a “Tech Review”. Jon was analyzing the new version of the game and comparing it to the the original. It is clearly stated in the video that a performance video is coming later. Him saying this is literally the same part of the video where he mentions moving away from talking about performance.
Like South Park episode, having them gunpoint works wonder. But seriously, I do expect Xbox will start gaining advantage with the latest tech. Doom Eternal was a beginning for using its feature, we can start seeing more.
Let’s start by assuming that this video is legit and not BS…I doubt DF wouldn’t say anything about this difference between the two platforms in performance since there are some chunky frame drops from the PS5 version in this video. So it’s either a bug or the new patch that improved VRS caused performance issues…again, assuming this video is not BS.
Their VRS implementation seems to be brightness based and not computed on local contrast. Its a bit baffling for me, they have lots of (very nice) volumetric fog everywhere where VRS is suitable (because low contrast).
Will be interesting to see the performance hit or if its even measurable.
This looks more like a bug and not how VRS should be done. They shade with lower resolution seemingly at random and especially on edges with contrasts and its very visible that way.
Fanboys like this shouldn’t be paid attention to IMO. People like this have clear agendas as they like to talk about other people and games from their glass houses while not knowing a thing of what it takes to put out analysis content.
Is that an untouched image from the game? Some of the horrible pics I’ve seen the past couple days have been brightened several times over to see the details which were hidden in darkness or shadows during the actual game.
Saw it on reddit. Isaac looks normally lit here so i think the brightness is not altered much. I also noticed these problems in some streams i watched, first i thought it was video compression artifacts but its VRS.
