If other games with dynamic res on PS4 PRO are anything to go by, the resolution can vary from ~1600p to ~1080p generally when under maximum load. According to DF the PRO has largely stable 30 fps performance except in specific scenes where it drops quite hard but I find it hard to believe there isn't any more GPU headroom on the PRO that can be utilized in lesser demanding scenes. It just sounds to me they chose 1440p as a middle ground.
I don't think this game looks great on console at all. It doesn't matter the version.
On PC this game is in another league..
It's pushing over twice the resolution at a better framerate.
We've seen that delta before but it's definitely its impressive :)
Lets hope that post day one patches fix & improve things as much as possible on PS4, PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.
Surprising that the base Xbox One version did not suffer as much as other recent games have (AC7, RDR2).

This has got to be something OS related or some weird bug somewhere. I wasn't able to detect this during my testing and in fact my capture results were totally different and without this lost detail. We actually compared some of our captures before this video and my caps were totally different.
Lots of people (including DF were unable to resolve the left hand image in the gamma setup screen, no matter the setting)
I on the other hand have not had this problem and here was a capture from a few days ago.
DF were getting this on their captures from Xbox One X/S
After comparing lots of notes and settings all I could put it down to is a difference in OS version which is perhaps affecting black levels. I'm running one of the skip ahead alpha builds and they were testing on the public releases, so it's likely already fixed, just not released.

Please priorities locked target frame-rate above resolution. What good is 4K if the game doesn't look or feel good.
I really hope the crashes and input lag get fixed up quickly, I have an Aurora Edition sitting next to me and I'm planning on diving in tonight anyways but I'm expecting a frustrating experience.
Huh, turns out that reading a single post can exhaust me like I just ran a marathon.
It's does have HDR and, in my experience, it still very much has black crush. Not ruining the game or anything but it's noticable. It's super dark and crushed but with very bright highlights. Just looks like the contrast has been pushed too far.
Interesting note about black crush. I think the Giant Bomb crew also mentioned in their quick look that they had issues with the gamma curve and having to crank it up to see things. Sounds like a bug somewhere.
Worth noting I think that I've had three lockup's so far on the 1X. Pretty much every time ive sat down to play. Definitely the buggiest game I've played in a while.
Apparently there's another patch coming for it and I've never lost too much progress but it's still a bummer.
Fun game so far other than that. Looks great.

1440p to 2160p is quite a lot, curious if people are bothered by the big differences if they only bought the pro and not the x. I have them both but buy multi platform games on my pc and just use each for their exclusive games.
I think these types of performance differences would get me thinking about which next gen console I should go with if I could only have the one.

That's fascinating re: the performance profile on the base XB1. The game is gorgeous everywhere.
This (seemingly) recent spat of a few Xbox games with weird darkness issues is surprising though. Without HDR, Crackdown 3 Campaign has this as well during nighttime scenes. I can't tell for sure if it's some just virtual exposure setting that doesn't play well in SDR or what, but it's annoying when it kicks in.

Hmm, I pre ordered the X1X version digitally, but I think I'll be waiting until a patch or two releases. Shame that it seems to be so buggy.
Damn X1X has a massive resolution bump over Pro AND slightly better performance. Very significant.

That's really strange then. I hope they will fix this. I haven't played the game a lot today, so far no crashes yet though. So it sounds like even Gamma at max won't fix it, damn.
Doesn't bother me tbh, the game still looks fantastic on Pro from the videos I've watched, so not really a big deal.
I have a decent PC (i7, GTX 1070) and still got it for my Pro, so that shows how much it doesn't bother me lol I might pick up the PC version later on but I've been playing mostly on the sofa on my 4k TV recently. I can't be bothered to sit at my desk to play games at the moment when the sofa is more comfortable.
I'm sure it might bother some though.
I'm just more surprised that X has a 40% GPU advantage over Pro but still manages to punch well above that gap. That's what, 80% more pixels along with a slight performance edge?
Well that happens when you only take one component into the equation. Too many people look at the GPU TFlop performance and think that is all they should consider. The "X" is an overall well designed system. Memory, Memory bandwidth in particular and some enhancements to the CPU along with the 6TF GPU is making these gaps.
Hm maybe. I assume they wouldn't want to minimize the issue either as HDR isn't a fix for everyone. Base Xbox One folks with HDR sets must not be very common.
My main gaming pc is setup on my TV but when I see posts like yours I think that next gen cpu upgrades and diminishing returns on Rasterisation that if the two consoles can guarantee 60fps and 4k then people will start to come back to console gaming more and more.
I know about the CPU and memory advantage but I'm guilty of overlooking them when discussing the resolution.
I do have my PC hooked up to a 40" TV (only 1080p) but it's still decent enough for a good gaming experience but it's definitely the comfort thing at the moment. Also my tower is way too big and heavy to move down stairs onto my 4k TV though, don't think the Mrs would be impressed lol
As for next gen, it will be interesting to see what kind of performance they will deliver. Obviously there will still be a gap between them and high end PC but if they can offer way more 60fps games with decent graphical settings, they should make people pretty happy.
Jesus Christ the tearing in the playstation platform...1440p resolution should be a given on Pro and see worst performance with intrusive tearing on Pro compared the dynamic 4k on the X leave me perplexed; lets no talk of the awful fps on ps4 in the taxing scene...the hell they did on both ps4 sku? Don't expect that disaster.

As a base PS4 owner it's now a black friday deal or wait for exodus redux if they can't sort this out.
Even with a single part like the GPU, how they reach the flop count matters. Focusing on higher than normal clock speeds, more parts of the GPU will enjoy a boost in performance, rather than relying on extra CUs to reach that performance target.
Neither next gen console will be able to guarantee 4K60 next gen.
The performance segment is mostly useless since the game performed the "worst" in the prologue, as in I actually noticed couple of dips on the XOX, DF seems to be making an issue out of this where there isn't one really, especially after the prologue is finished and the dips were far and between.
I'd be much more curious to see performance comparison in the open zones.

There is definately a problem with SDR output on the Xbox OS at the moment.
All logic and testing points towards HDR not being affected.
Exodus does use a really contrasty tone mapper (ACES I suspect) so there is a degree of darkness that people might perceive as black crush.

You forget the larger bandwidth, the higher clocked gpu, the bigger RAM...in any case I wouldn't call it the best port ever on the playstation platform especially seeing the xbone base runs even better . It's not exactly the normality such stuff.
1440p is disappointing for a console advertised as a 4k machine.
4k is nice on the 1x, hope black crush issue is sorted.
Ouch at those framerate dips on all versions.

Pro is mainly advertised as a cbr hardware than a 4k machine. I think 1800cbr is quite comparable to 1440p on Pro in terms of hardware cost but many developers simply don't care about cbr. Of course is a sony fault too if developers prefer their solutions over the harwdare customisation. They should offer a better support. In any case the major frustration is the tearing. 1440p is absolutely tolerable but the tearing I see? Nope.

Atmos is in but it sounds pretty bad and the volume is ridiculously low.
"4k" and " 4k gaming" is shown on its marketing.

Not this shit again. Please. I have to explain to you the difference to play in 4k in your tv and play with a 4K machine?"4k" and " 4k gaming" is shown on its marketing.

What are you talking about, I just corrected your lack of information.
