Digital Foundry: Hitman 3 PS5 vs Xbox Series X|S Comparison: An Xbox Advantage At 4K
- Thread starter litebrite
- Start date
From what I saw in the video the big difference ends up being PS5 having 1800p/ medium shadows instead of 4K/high like X and a certain area being perfect 60 on PS5 but 50-60 on X due to lower resolution.
The drops in the Mendoza level were interesting, and I have to wonder if the PS5 not dropping there was due to the increased GPU clock speed? Stuff like that will probably be the most interesting thing over this generation, seeing which systems have minute advantages over certain areas and why.
Also the Series S version looks pretty good. I think this is the first Series S game that really shows the power of the box

Solid performance and technical achievements on all three boxes. Well done IOI.
Nice to see Xbox API tools coming into place

Interesting results.
The PS5 powering through the blue flower field is nice to see.
I wonder if dynamic resolution can be implemented into a future update so the PS5 can hit 4k and Series S/X drops in that area can be cleaned up.
Higher res and Higher shadow quality of Series X is a bit surprising with how previous comparisons have gone. I can't wait to see how Hitman 1 and 2 maps run in the Hitman 3 engine when compared to the previous game running in backwards compatibility mode.
Good stuff from IO and DF.

Was just a matter of time before the Series X starts to show the extra firepower. I still the PS5 will win out in certain one-off edge-cases, but the vast majority of cases will turn out more or less like this.
Hm, will series x start taking the lead now? I thought it would take longer, like a year or so for the tools to mature and no more crossgen games.
I would expect series x and ps5 to be at least be equal in most cases in the future and where they arent for the series x to have an advantage due to cpu, gpu and ram.

Probably. With all the foliage I would guess its GPU bottlenecked.
I dont know if its click baity but in most of the other cases, it was always dynamic resolution scaling. This is the first one i can remember where it is a locked resolution advantage for one console over the other
- Native 4K/60fps on Series X. One of the cleanest games they've seen.
- 1800p/60fps on PS5
- 1080p/60fps on Series S.
- Series X has Ultra Textures and High Shadows.
- PS5 has Ultra Textures and Medium Shadows.
- Series S has High Textures and Low Shadows.
- Framerate is close to perfect on all platforms, with a few exceptions.
- Load times are virtually identical on all next-gen platforms, with PS5 typically coming in about 1/2 a second faster.
Hah, this is the first example of the XSX really looking like the better version, but Ill have to buy for my PS5 so I can play in VR in back compat.
So far I've been doing a great job of buying games on the platform that runs them worse* lol
*everything is fine on both consoles, chill out :p

I think its fine for this particular video. Series X should have had better results since day one, but time and time again things ran "a bit better" on the PS5 (better dev kits, easier ramp up, etc.). DF knows their audience, on this particular example Series X actually delivers its"promise", why not exploit it ?
I dont think its click bait.
Ok you can stop attacking them for every Video now, Here hoping that with some updates PS5 will be 4K
Sounds like they not done with Hitman 3 wonder why they doing it in parts

Well the PS5 is pushing 30% less pixels, that probably explains why it maintains 60 fps on that section. Overall, I don't think most people could tell the difference in framerate or resolution between the XSX and PS5 versions without measuring it.
The good thing is that all the next-gen versions look and run really clean. Seems like a great cross-gen port.
The real question is if you can see the resolution difference without pixel counting? That I'd like to know.
Thanks, didn't notice that the shadows are better on Xbox too.
Possibly. It's only one area though and the dips won't be noticeable on the X if you have a VRR TV. So I'll take the native 4k on this occasion.
10/12. 1800/2160 83%
Now all of a sudden a slightly better resolution seems to matter again.
Finally a game where XSX shows that extra GPU power.
It seems like there is headroom for DRS up to 4K on PS5 since it locks to 60 fps (might be beneficial to XSX as well). I really wish every game would use DRS as future proofing for BC consoles to come, but I'm sure they have their reasons.
In this game, it's scaled horizontally and vertically. So it's 3200*1800 vs 3840*2160.
The difference between true 4k and 1800p isn't noticeable during normal gameplay sat at a normal distance from the tv.
If you get up close however, you might tell the difference. In other words, 1800p or 4k, both will look absolute quality on a 4k display. There is virtually nothing between them to the normal naked eye.

That Ryzen CPU being put to work. That and the SSD are what makes the Series S a next-gen console over the old One X.
I'll take the drops in that one field over a loss of 30% of the pixel count.
Looks nice on both new consoles, though.
