Red Dead Redemption 2 DF Analysis (Read OP)
- Thread starter BladeX
- Start date
Feeling validated picking up an x for this. Alternative of playing on base ps4 would have been less satisfying.
Even if they don't rush and do everything right it's almost a given the next Xbox will be more powerful.
False. A better opinion is there is nothing smooth about inconsistent frame timing. A locked 30 is smooth, a fluctuating frame-rate is not. This is not the PS360 era anymore. Most console game lock at 30 most of the time and feel smooth because their frame times are consistent. 30 FPS is about the lowest a FPS can be and still be smooth, though.
It looks good to me?
Though I don't own the console and can't really compare to other games on the machine
I assume PCs would hypothetically blaze through this game since it seems much more dependent on the CPU than GPU, given that it runs at native 4K on the X and that the minimal CPU advantage of the base Xbone is enough to give it a framerate advantage over PS4mateur.
So the Pro performance and image quality probably won't bother me if I've never seen or played the X version?
The difference in those screenshots are huge.
Any idea what's up with distant models? It looks like character models look better on pro over ps4 but that tree shot looks considerably worse.
Pro is not absolutely a rushed hardware, come on now. It's a ps4 upgrade thinking for the 4k TV. MS needs to recover their image and they released an hardware to replace completely the base xbone. Look the IQ, is a mess in this console. They almost pretend it not exist. Sony couldn't risked to screw their userbase releasing a console which replaced the base sku otherwise to MS.
Bad reconstruction really bugs the hell out of me. It was something that was very distracting in Dragon Quest XI as well. I hope they can do a patch or at the very least that it doesn't stand out as much when playing on a 1080p display (which I'll be on).
They literally say in the video that there are other games which do checkerboard rendering much better.
i watched the video but maybe i missed it, do they mention how the games perform on xboxx/ps4pro on 1080p screens? do we know what kind of benefits they get?
It's the most expensive console with the best hardware why is everybody surprised. Native 4K is impressive.
It was a perfectly reasonable doubt. Rockstar really nailed the optimisation on X. Impressive optimisation all round considering how good the game looks.
Wonderful that this runs native 4k on the X. When the PC Port comes out, it'll be a great upgrade from the PS4 Pro version I'll be playing tomorrow. Rockstar did good this time by the consoles it seems.
Of course the X was always going to be better, but it just sounds like the checkerboard implementation on Pro might not be as good as it could be.
Game looking the same (sometimes worse) then base version and many other games having much better IQ and generally more reasonable difference between the two mid gen versions suggests that this is definitely Rockstar's fault. Pro is considerably under-delivering here and it's surprising.
I expect them to release a patch with better CB implementation in few weeks.
Yeah it looks good. But there seems to be a weird issue with the implementation of the checkerboard rendering that blurs textures. there is a bit about it in the second vid.
All the pre-release footage has looked jaw dropping on the Pro, so I'm more than fine with how it looks. Nice for X1X owners to have sharper IQ, but overall it's a beautiful looking game no matter the platform you play on.
People that don't have an X1X shouldn't feel bad, and don't let others around here make you feel bad.

Reminds me of rdr on ps3 vs 360, i enjoyed it on ps3, and i will enjoy rdr2 on my pro. Going to get an x tho when i can afford it.
No, they used all versions of the game to compare them :)
I meant what Build number.
The day 1 patch (Build 1116.8) notes list performance improvements, which is why I'd like to know what Build they tested. I don't know when the 1116.8 patch became available.
Considering this is a tech analysis thread, it's ok to try and dig down on this.
In laymans terms, bandwidth, from where to where, and why?
Y'all in here talking about the PC version that doesn't exist or isn't confirmed at all at this point...
Weird how blurry the Pro version looks with its CB upscaling. I'll be interested to hear overall impressions from Pro playing ERA.

How is the anti aliasing solution in this game? After Shadow of the Tomb Raider I am used to clean as hell graphics and I hope that's the case here too. :)
For sure
Calm down there, and you do know there are a lot of owners of the Base consoles right the PS4 and Xbox One and S it's what the majority own. In gaming enthusiast places like this forum you'll see more people own the more expensive later released mid gen consoles as expected
There's most likely more Xbox One and S owners than there are who own Xbox One X and they got the worst version
I guess you didn't read the other thread.
Native 4K with solid performance is extremely impressive for an open world game.
The Pro screenshots look kinda bad when compared. The AA and checkerboard implementation hurt the IQ considerably.
Holy shit at native 4K on X. Game's a visual masterpiece on both Platforms but still, another reason to hope for PS5 BC so it can run even better at some point
So it is the checkerboard? Would explain it. Had the same complaint with DQ. I really wish we had a resolution/performance toggle in every game. Not once have I chosen resolution.
The trailer videos Digital Foundry analysed in the last few months were PS4 Pro footage, right? Since I don't own a 4K TV I think the PS4 Pro version is good enough for me.
