Mark Cerny seems to know better than sherdog gaming sub forum experts.

Well colour me surprised.

A genius engineer and programmer knows less about the technology and architecture of the console he designed???
So many internet 'experts' know more than him.....

Anyone else get the feeling that there's a lot more interest in the PS5 than the Xbox? I know PS5 has been outselling the Xbox, which partially has something to do with availability, but I think you can also see the increased demand in eBay sales.

PS5 has over 31k completed auctions. Most of the ones I've seen recently have been in the $1000-1400 range.

Xbox Series X has 21k competed auctions, mostly in the $850-1000 range, and 6k completed auctions for Series S.

Anecdotally, I sold the PS5 and all the accessories the first day I listed them. I was not able to sell the Series X or Series S for profit and ended up just returning them.

Looking at historic console sales, I guess this is nothing new. I never looked at this before, but it looks like Playstations have always significantly outsold their Xbox counterparts.

Because PS5 exclusives are actually exclusive (and Demons Souls is a new game for a lot of people who never played the original). Plus I don't think MS has fully recovered from the Halo Infinite fiasco.

I haven’t been following Xbox news. What’s the story of Halo Infinite?

So you don’t know the legend of Craig?

Sounds familiar, but I know very little.

Back in July, Microsoft had some kind of showcase for Halo Infinite. Now keep in mind, it's been in development for 5 years and they've spent $500 mil on it. I believe it was supposed to be a launch title. The trailer was a disaster though and created some pretty bad PR for the new XB.

Looks like Valhalla has been patched bringing the Series X performance to parity with PS5

Yeah, that was predictable:

And......Valhalla has already been patched:
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will be able to run at 60fps on all next-gen consoles with new update

It runs at 60fps with a "dynamic resolution" on the Xbox Series S, now, too.
https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/...ybD/assassins-creed-valhalla-title-update-104

What's less predictable is whether future patches will continue to exploit the superior processing power of the XSX to advance it to a higher average DRS. That seems most likely.

The XSX in particular excels in superior texturing, floating point animation precision, and memory speed (for the first 10GB), but it's not clear if it will be facile enough to reap advantages from these so that's it's worth the time investment to Ubisoft to create a more sophisticated set considering the XSX is already expected to be a clear second place in the console race.

huh...

So they fixed the XBox Series X by removing the lower bound limit of the dynamic resolution scaling. So instead of bottoming out at 1440p it'll go lower down to 1080p (1296p during the hut scene they talk about). But they didn't have to do that for the PS5 version. So in those particular scenes the resolution is running higher on the PS5 comparatively to the XBox Series X version. Where's this 30% power boost that the Xbox Series X is supposed to enjoy??

They dwngraded it, essentially right? To maintain a similar performance to the PS5.

I have read somewhere that the newer AC games were developed with the PS4 in mind, so they may be more optimised for the PS platform and thats why we're seeing this increase with Valhalla [might be remembering wrong though and the info may be wrong]

Weirdos at it again.



Completely fabricated tweet. I’m not sure why the need to go to these lengths.

Apparently they’re also using real photos of cars and trying to pass it off as Series X gameplay for Dirt lol

I dont understand the benefit to these losers who do this. Exactly what do they get out of it [atleast the guys who arent trolling]?

Seems like an attempt to spread misinformation to help their side save face. A lot of people won’t look into any sourcing and believe it at face value.

LOL, nope. PS5 is riddled with tears the XSX doesn't suffer post-patch.

It now outperforms the PS5 with the downgrade. That's why they mentioned at the beginning of the video the patch made things worse on the PS5.

Lol at fucking Sony fucking up the ps5 controller too

Stick drift has gotta be the most annoying thing ever (also very profitable for these companies!) that they flat out refuse to look into apparently.

Hmmm wonder why.

Looks like it’s an issue with CoD. Not the controller.



Several others reported it as well and adjusted the settings in game. That fixed it.

 

[jerzey devil]

I couldn’t even play my Switch for a half a year because the drift was so bad. They fixed it for free but it takes a month or so to get it back.
