Dirt 5 Xbox Series X 4K Gameplay - Ice Drifting And Rally Racing
- Thread starter delete
- Start date
Meanwhile I have little issue with how this looks, but think it generally looks boring as shit with track effects/deformation that seem underwhelming even compared to what arcade racers were doing two console generations ago.
The game does look pretty fun, and I like how much diversity there is to race types and track design.
That said, graphically outside of the high resolution or IQ, it doesn't look better than the best looking current gen games, let alone next-gen. The dirt effects (notably those that build over or around your car) in some of the videos particularly stand out as unconvincing and far too light or inconsequential, which is especially ironic given the game is called....well...Dirt lol.
I also think the sound design could do with more aggression, not just with some of the vehicle engine or exhaust sounds, but also contact or collision sounds too, some of which sound far too light and insignificant.
Also, in some of the videos I'm getting a tonne of judder or tearing (eg the GameSpot 4K Ice Drifting and Rally video). Is that normal? Now that I mention it, I'm seeing lots of tearing in the gameplay captures from multiple different outlets.

Sure, but I own and played ever major racing game and Dirt5 gameplay that's been shown so far does nothing for me. We'll see how it turns out but I don't have high hopes any more.
Considering that a 2080ti can't hit 120 at 1440p with Dirt Rally 2.0, i don't think the Xsx runs this at 1440p.
There are better looking cross gen titles, I dunno what happened here. Early videos looked better than current gameplay vids.
Looks more or less the same as always to me.
Not spectacular, non that bad.
Still a good deal richer than the only other comparable 4k60 racer we have on One X.
Interesting, didn't expect such big cutbacks to hit 120fps for a crossgen game.We've got footage of all three modes here too:

4K Frame Rate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9cMBxZTmuU
120Hz Mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzizzR3X7r4
and our preview that goes into 120Hz mode a little bit more and the things that are removed to get there:

I honestly don't know what people were expecting. We aren't going to go from games targeting 30fps to games targeting 120fps with minimal cut backs...
Still, options are nice.
120fps mode is "2020 Mode" when it comes to crowds?Interesting, didn't expect such big cutbacks to hit 120fps for a crossgen game.
120fps was a mistake.Interesting, didn't expect such big cutbacks to hit 120fps for a crossgen game.
Clearly stated in the video it's a result of their capturing, not the game.
What's up with the skybox though, seems to almost jitter and overall just looks weird.
I'm not so sure it's a capture issue because ign video also has screen tearing, this game just needs more optimization
Because they want Forza/Forza Horizon/Gran Turismo level of graphics from a cross-gen game made with a modest budget on 7 platforms.
I think it's the desire for next gen. This is clearly a cross-gen title that has double the frame rates on next gen systems. It's very hard to sell frame rates to people through videos.
The car seems in mid air thats why theres no shadows below it
This is the resolution mode. This looks awful, what the hell. Where are the shadows for anything?
I dont think people should judge this game too harshly. Its pretty easy to tell in this scenario since they had to develop for 4 Xbox SKUs and 3 PS SKUs and PC? That there probably are compromises made and what we are seeing here is more than Likely the upper bound of the game given those limitations seems to me they may have went the way of lowest build and then up the quality vs the opposite direction of Build the Highest SKU first then optimize down.
Shitty video capture is going to be a real problem this generation. Lots of people are making up their minds based on this Gamespot video, and the problem is the video capture equipment, compression, and HDR settings, not the game itself. Not to mention that they aren't clear about what "mode" the game is in for capturing. If they are capturing 120Hz video but only playing back half the frames, you aren't seeing the full benefit.
Not the most impressive graphically, but it looks like a fun time. Excited to pick this up at launch, hopefully!

Bro, no crowd? Lmao.
I was disappointed by the game after seeing some footage and this screenshot. However the DF footage changed my mind and it's clear you cherry picked the screenshot.

Look at the DF footage. It's much more representative.

well..they are called VIDEO games. The video part actually matters to some people. Especially since we're being asked to shell out $500 for new boxes.
Lol I've never in my life seen someone focus on the word video so literally like that
The 120Hz mode drops the crowd down to near zero. But you're not seeing the benefit of the 120Hz mode in this video (it's 60Hz), so you can't make the call as to whether this is a good trade off for you.
The other modes have various levels of crowds and increased shadow resolution.
Watch the Digital Foundry video instead.
Wow this looks miles better from the other footage from other outlets... crazy there's such a difference.
100% agreed. The DF video made the IGN video looked rushed and not professional. Also, IGN needs to get upgrade gear so they can do these properly.
I don't care what next gen system you get, but you need to remember one thing: Cross gen titles at a console launch is not the best way to showcase a console graphics power. This is where PS5 has the advantage of the Series X (I'm getting the Series X BTW) as they have first party games pretty much ready to go at launch. Unless MS has something up there sleeve.
To me, Dirt 5 looks good. If you like those type of game, then pick it up for your PS5/Xbox Series X|S.
You're def entitled to your opinion but 'garbage' is quite harsh
Did you watch the latter video?
Some like to be noticed.
I think it looks pretty good in that DF video. Can't wait to try the 120hz mode on my brand new lgcx!
