So I guess FC5 isn't fixed 4K on Xbox One X; it uses dynamic resolution on all consoles [VG Tech]
- Thread starter Talus
- Start date
Not much changes as the X is still rendering at 4k most of the time. For the very rare instance it may drop but it's running mostly at 4k with no drops in fps

No wonder.
They are utterly fantastic. Even the one's for games which don't personally interest me (Secret of Mana for example) are fun to watch for their informative and historical relevance.
The Silent Hill 2 and Metal Gear Solid 2 videos are some of my favorite youtube content of all time. It's rare to see someone in a position of producing media content talk as candidly about Silent Hill 2, a game which I absolutely adore.
This would be my only criticism too, and something that I've noticed them move more and more towards - not just being factual analysis of game tech, but being more and more opinion based and letting feelings into it. Sometimes it definitely does feel console war-y. That's fine, more power to them if they want to go that way, but I've stopped watching because that's not why I watched their videos or read their articles in the first place.
Dark1X, hope you get your head and health back in the right place. Everyone makes mistakes, acknowledge it, learn from it, and leave it behind. As above, maybe try using less definitive wording for resolution, always putting an asterisk and linking to all screens that you counted, even if it's 100. You'll always get grief and abuse from idiots though unfortunately.

You DO put out the best content John. I look forward to your content specifically most of all. I honestly don't care if any person or site gets some numbers wrong sometimes. You don't have code access and you also can't spend forever working on one thing to check ALL instances of it being a specific resolution or what-have-you. I always take all of this information as very educated guesses.. and I think I can speak for most people that if it's something that can fool you guys into making mistakes, then it's really not something anyone would notice during gameplay. If some other comparison comes out later and provides different results... that's fine.
I really hope you won't be so hard on yourself.
Everyone makes mistakes and this one was hard to see. If it makes any difference the o LG reason I read Eurogamer anymore is for digital foundry features.
As someone who has depression myself. Just keep pushing through.
I think beyond the accuracy of the findings, it comes into question the value of the analysis itself.
If people can't even see when a game isn't native, is IQ beyond the point where its worth debating?
For a while now these results have been technologically ambiguous, RE7 was a notable one.
Does it matter what exactly Nier Automata's frame buffer is doing? Maybe simply showing the versions, pointing out clarity plus artifacts versus the less sharp Pro version or whatever is sufficient.
This obsession with native 4k is frankly absurd, people simply can't tell in practical situations. And next gen it'll be wholly pointless, the few remaining shimmers of sub-pixel geometry and things will be gone.
DF Retro is super cool, but face offs? We know, it goes XBO < PS4 < Pro < X < PC. You have to look really hard to find an example where that isn't the case, and even then, the amount of people who can even tell are minimal.
Last gen it was a fight, mostly favouring 360 until nearer the end with Metro, GTAV, Bio Infinite, etc. It served a meaningful consumer service, even if it was mostly used for console war fodder. That's not really the case now.
I think it'd be great to see DF double down on the technological aspects of game development with the development teams, much like No Clip is doing for game development as a whole. Deep dives into PBR and photogrammetry, etc.

Did you check out the video I did for OnRush? That's what I want to do more of.
Indeed I did, and you're more than welcome to make more of that sorts of videos, or in fact anything that you feel passionate about within your remit.
