Disappointing DF review of PC vs PS5 fidelity mode

[Tr3m0r]

https://youtu.be/cITEbCFGutc?si=dBT7u4cKxVEgloXH

Basic summary: The review starts off really good but quickly turns to the PC version being somewhat of a lesser port in terms of quality settings compared to the PS5 unfortunately. The overall port is well executed and has a lot of features that are desired like on the spot quality changes and wide-screen support. It seems like for whatever reasons, the console just has some nicer features at best and at worst looks about identical.

Just posting this for information sake as I didn't see it posted.

This stuff will get patched. The game still looks and runs better than the console version.

yeah some settings does not work so its running better , let them first fix visuals and then let us check performance .

I myself watched this vid from start to end, not sure why DF praising the port at the start of the video, but later is a non-stop ranting about how downgrade the PC port is vs the PS5 quality mode one, making the whole video confusing af

games on pc should release demo like ff16 , so if user finds bugs they can let developers have that info and devs can fix those bugs till launch date .

WUTTT.....for real .... Mist effects , door effects , more detailed shadows.... why the hell they didn't add these features in the pc port in the first place ...

Based on this video, PC version has stuttering on transitions, texture streaming issues when going through portals, missing/inferior graphical effects compared to PS5 version, muffled audio, and inconsistent performance leading to fps drops. PS5 version still the superior version

Hahaha PC users get shafted again. Good thing I still have my PS5 copy.

death stranding, tsushima, days gone, horizon etc - all those ps4 games should look like PC games running on the ps5, because they are ps4 games...

the guys at DF know full well the ps5 is capable of full native 4k and 120fps, just like my 4080 - now, it can't actually hit it in modern games like those listed above, but .... it's not like this generation of consoles and a PC are that vastly different when it comes to raw output power.

and games designed for the ps4, should have enough overhead when optimized for the ps5, to be ... as beautiful as that game can be minus a remaster.

i've got both installed RN, both connected to the same OLED display.

the ps5 game is amazing. in performance mode it's upconverting from at least 1080, probably something dynamic up to 2k and it runs up to 80-90fps with perfect frame timing.

that's on the damn ps5! if it runs that good and looks that good on the ps5 what were they expecting on the PC? for it to shoot lasers and honey out the back end?

on the PC, in "performance mode" - i'm upconverting to, ahem, 5120x2880 from a base resolution of 2560x1440, mixed settings from medium to max, 120fps solid.

i honestly don't get what extra the DF guys are wanting this port to do or be? there is zero about the PC experience that seems misaligned from how this ran on ps4/5.

not for nothing but this is a terrible way to look at it.

if you do have a PC and you don't have a ps5 and you are playing this game... how did you get shafted?

so you have it on PS5? great, show me the game in ultra wide... no you can't, cause ps5 players got shafted ...

show me the game running at 200fps and you controlling it with a mouse and keyboard - oh wait... you can't do that... cause you're over there shafting...

i dunno - it's so weird that people do this constant mine vs yours thing like haha you guys lost you're dumb for buying a pc, haha...? what the hell is wrong with you?

how about, those who want to game on a PC and play this amazing game can. in an almost identical manner to the original console version, i own both also, the experiences are the same.

except for 1 you have all these extra options like ultrawide and super high fps and multiple input options... well i guess i'll see you guys later, i'm off to enjoy the shafting at the hands of this perfect PC port! cheers :)

If you watched the video, you would not brag about ultrawide because the game is completely broken in ultrawide mode with terrible frametime and stutter. Also, I prefer playing games at high framerate which is why I have a 4090 and 13900k, but not if it means there is stuttering and lag spikes which ruins the experience, which in this game, it does according to the video. The PC port is far from perfect if you bothered to watched the video which u clearly did not.

and before you flex those digits to reply again, know that i'm kinda weird and don't really care about all this... i pop in here like once a month to troll and see what everyone is replying to "woke" with...

i'm not trying to change anyone's minds - and mine is firmly planted.

so don't think you're about to get somewhere or "win" an argument - more than likely i won't even see the reply so... i guess get it all out cause i know you're gonna, just know i probably won't see it. yeah, i'm an ass just like you, welcome to the internet. we've got cookies in the back and that lady over there makes absolute amazing coffee. you just have to trade her your first born kid for some. i didn't need children anyway, more time for gaming #damngoodcoffeetoo

you're waffling. Anyways, if anyone wants to play the superior version of the game, get it on PS5 and possibly PS5 pro. PC version is COMPROMISED. They might patch it, they might not. I won't risk it though.

The port has a few issues but they all look fixable. The stutter on transitions is very minor It's not like the game has bad traversal or shader compilation stutter. The muffled audio may already be fixed in the latest patch. The rest of the stuff will very likely be fixed in patches. Its got a good technical foundation from which to build on.
