Red Dead Redemption 2 DF Analysis (Read OP)
- Thread starter BladeX
- Start date
Having an X and Pro, the X is always the obvious choice and I'm glad I went with X, but I never pay attention to these comparison shots. It doesn't mean a thing in motion most times. If all you have is a Pro, it looks like you'll still be appropriately blown away. This thing looks alike a technical marvel, overall.
If you watch the video, you will see that they surmise that the textures are the same, but the image reconstruction on the Pro makes them look worse.
User Warned - Lazy Dev Rhetoric
Sony getting lazy and releasing a half ass attempt of a pro console is what happened
That's what happens when you have a 2:1 lead over your competitor, you get greedy and blinded by all the money
it's the sole reason why i'm not expecting too much from PS5 going into next gen, Instead I'm more interested to see what MS brings to the table
No game is trying to do what RDR2 is doing, clearly, judging by the reviews.
You simply cannot compare this game with anything else out there. So, no, the devs didn't "mess up".
The fact is, what you see is what you get. Theres no "secret sauce", "coding" or "patch" to fix whatever you think is "wrong" with the game.
Also, the Pro is pushing more pixels than the base PS4. While you think it looks somewhat similar its probably not the case on your TV from a comfortable distance.
Theres nothing "wrong" with what the developer did. It's less powerful hardware. It will look worse.
Not sure what's "wrong" about that

Kinda tiring that whenever a game looks appropriately and significantly better on X that the rhetoric instantly changes to "the devs messed up!".
Native 1080p.
Performance dips to 25 is the worst case in heavy city/town scenes.
Sounds like some really fucking good work by Rockstar. Going to play single player on my X and multiplayer on my Pro.
Seems like they're identical, just higher in resolution.
The game is already using what seems to be checkerboard 4K so it would look worse with checkerboard 1800p.
Maybe this'll help demonstrate better...
Here's what PS4 Pro looks like if you snap a still shot ONE FRAME after a camera cut...
(view in separate window for 1:1 pixel)

...and here it is a few frames later once the TAA has resolved.

I think the way they reconstruct just doesn't work that well with their TAA and it creates a strange looking game.
Or perhaps the rending of resolution goes deeper and everything is super finely tuned to deliver on all of the impressive technical feats that the game is clearly pulling off.
Perhaps the artists working on this considered the resolution to be secondary to the numerous endless other visuals technique.
Sort of reconstruction. Not CBR at all, it seems. But It has definitively issues with transparencies and textures details.
Guessing Im gonna go with the GTA V route, PS and then PC. I assume PC version is out when the PS5/XB2 versions are out, so 2020 sometime.
Am pretty sure MS hates the fact that Sony got the agreement. I figured Xbox would especially with the X also having the first RDR in 4K as well. Either way, its going to be interesting.
Hell yeah! No doubt.
Yeah, with the games to come over the next few years I'm pretty happy with my investment in the X.
The last thing the manufacturers should do is rush their hardware out the door just for the sake of it, MS were right to wait for the X.
They really did it didn't they? Native 4K is freaking crazy, I'm glad I went with the X version!
Next gen is at least 2 years away, plenty of time to enjoy an X
Having analysed the comparisons, X looks alright I suppose, but reallyit's all brute force and lacks the finesse of the PS4 Pro version which the game was built from the ground up for.
I think most of the people will continue to ignore the difference and buy the hardware for other factors. It's surprising still hear that best multiplat it sell more to the customer. Not denying I'm disappointed about the IQ on the Pro. Hope R give some feedback about it.
If it's an actual problem than it will be patched. I was just saying it's the same on the pro and the s which use checkboarding and why it doesn't happen on the x.
Nobody is downplaying them hitting 4k on the x but it doesn't mean that they can't fix a possible issue on the pro and s.
Any impressions from HDR thou?
Yes, I would have loved them to take the Spider-Man approach too.

As a Pro owner this was expected. 2160p is ok anyway considering the view distance from my sofa to the tv.
"It's weaker it looks worse" it's not an excuse, nothing is saying Pro should look as good as X, it's just that Pro should look a lot better than currently does if R* fucking cared about it.
Reminds me to AC Syndicate first 4K implementation, at least they fixed it.
That's what an 8 year long dev cycle does to make a game looking as good as this.
Mighty impressive :O
Once I decide to bite, I'm happy I will be doing so on the XB1X

I feel like the Pro was rushed, personally. I bought it day one and it clearly wasn't as ready as it should've been.
Not sure what there is to even fix.
You guys act like the game looks like ass on the Pro just because it looks so much better on the X.
Seems appropriate to me.
Still looks great on the Pro.
