VG Tech: 'Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition' Frame Rate Test (PS5/XBS S|X) [Update: Series S 60fps Mode Analysis In Threadmarks]

Oooof those Series S results.
At least the other two consoles are pretty much locked 60 with a good bump in visuals, nice!

Weird that they said locked 30 on Series S, but it seems to not be locked. Seems like an oversight somewhere
Nice to see performance being so good, I'll definitely pick this up when the physical edition releases
Seems reasonably priced. Only negative about the game from what I read online is that it's short right?
To be fair, it only uses reconstruction to reach 1800p. The native resolution never exceeds 1296p.
As for the comparison, looks like the Series X has a decided advantage here. It's lowest native is the same as PS5's peak (and only) resolution while it can go much higher otherwise at only the cost of 1 average frame less, while PS5 has a temporary advantage in texture streaming which probably stabilizes after a second or so.
It's not just you, I'm watching the video and can see the green tint on youtube as well.
It's called "art style", and it's pretty much just the opening/hub area. It's a swamp, so.. it's green.
Ok,it does go away a bit in the later parts thank god ;)
True and yeah,better later on...its just that my set as a slight green saturation in dark areas,especially from my Fiber TV feeds so I just dont want it to get worst ;P
It doesn't even hit 1440p (native). It also never reaches 4k, not even with temporal reconstruction (no console does though).
It's a native PS5 app but surprisingly still runs in the same settings as those versions, only added bonus I know of is Dualsense features
The bottom on the series s is still higher than 1080p, which makes no sense considering the other games that uses reconstruction on the system.
Gears 5, Valhalla all have bottoms of 720p that is reconstructed to 1440p and 1080p respectively.
I would seriously suggest the devs to lower the bottom to 900p or below and get a stable 1440p60 after reconstruction.
Hmm, that's disappointing I suppose.
Looking at some news online, it seems like the "Enhanced Edition" is only a resolution and frame rate bump, there are no other visual enhancements.
Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition Is A Free Next-Gen Upgrade Available On March 4
Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition will be for PS4 and Xbox One.

Free upgrade from pervious gen versions too. I bought the disc version for $20.
It's a small studio and all, but that tweet is just plain false advertisement.
The game doesn't hit 4K on any platform and going comparisons, there doesn't seem to be much/any enhancements in the assets either.
Even the reconstruction is only up to 1800p on XSX when native resolution drops. Which was also the same as the one X. The only thing that is native 4k is the UI.
Are there any before/after comparisons online ? (for the textures)
Why oof when it was said to be 30fps and is clearly much higher than that?
There's exactly 0 good to have with an uneven framerate, let alone one unlocked that varies wildly. Even with VRR, such big fluctuations are jarring.
So yeah, not good.
"4k* *not actually 4k" is a pretty common trend in this generation's marketing, and a lot don't even give the "*not actually 4k" footnote.
A lot of games use upscaling that also advertise it as "true 4k". As long as the consumer can't tell the difference between 4k and upscaling/1800p it will just be a standard marketing thing
So it doesn't gate a real bump in Graphic Config settings of last gen? It's a small team so i hope those can be pushed via a patch later.

I'd kinda be alright with it if it was a resolution bump over the existing last gen versions but shouting '4k!' and selling 'the resolution' as a selling point to the new upgrade when it's exactly the same resolution as the last gen versions ran at feels a bit disingenuous to me.
I guess the Enhanced Edition didn't sound very enhanced without just making up selling points for it.
Wonder if it's a UE4 optimisation issue on XSX. There's none of that on the PC version with my PCIe 3.0 SSD (SX8200 Pro) and I'd guess XSX's IO is at least as good as that.
I'm also surprised the game isn't running native 4k on XSX and PS4, it's really not a demanding game on PC even at Ultra settings.
I might be wrong here, but was Mortal Shell supposed to have RT support coming at some point in time?
It looks amazing, but there are some problems with texture loading.
The game can be short if you know what to do and where to go, but that's for your no shell run. The game is balanced to be played with no shells/obsidian, so playing It normally is easy mode.

Well, I am glad that Series S isn't just 30 fps but is in fact an inconsistent unlocked frame rate, though it sucks that it would probably feel pretty jittery in motion. I wish they could have tweaked the resolution and maybe some settings in order to get it to a much more consistent 60fps, but it is what it is and I don't even have a Series S yet

They confirmed better textures though but it seems more of a midgen update than a true next-gen update.
Does anybody know if the PS5 version has the same issue with texture loading when you exit a menu?
It gonna be fixed on PS5:
After all the PS5 was displaying in the PS4 Pro resolution.
They even confirmed this on PS Blog back then: https://blog.playstation.com/2021/0...edition-comes-to-ps5-march-4/#comment-1831138
Sony needs to fix the BC issue on PS5 clamping even games which want to get PS5 support. They must make it separate udpate and provide the right SDKs for devs to allow smooth transition like XSX and not lock them in PS4 Pro loophole.

Good stuff. 1440p is too low for my tastes. 1800p is an excellent sweet spot. I can still discern the difference between that and native 4K if I look closely but they feel pretty much identical.
I picked this up for ps5 last week. I'm not surprised the resolution is the same as the Pro, as the game doesn't look as clean as my other native ps5 games. I kind of wonder just how much "next-gen" optimizing they did for the game, but it runs very well and I bought it for a reasonable price, so I can't really complain.
