Visually, this is a massive upgrade over PlayStation 4 Pro but what about performance?

Great visual improvements on the X vs the Pro like:

Better Shadows, lighting, LOD, draw distance, reflections, AO, texture quality and higher resolution at 1728p vs 1080p on the Pro. Both versions are using epic PC settings.

Whoever, Xbox One X version does take a hit on the framerate department due the resolution boost droping the frames all the way to the low 20´s on the "Tower Defence Mode", while on PS4 Pro framerates are more stable at 30fps. Such issues was not found on PVP mode and the frame rates are stable at 30fps on both versions.

This issue also happened to the PS4 Pro earlier and now it´s iron out. Same thing might happen to the Xbox One X version, since this build is not final. The next update most probably will grant Xbox One X users with a more stable framerate for the TD mode.

Great summary. 👍🏼.

Looking forward to this game progress on the X.

Ah nice. Been playing this on the Pro and PC and yeah, the Pro doesn't always maintain 30fps. The PC version is a whole different ball game.

Love the fact that you can cross play with this on PS4 and PC and even invite mates and voice chat works! Great game too! And the PVP is free!

Platinum_Fan3093d ago (Edited 3093d ago )

No the issue on PS4 was different, it maintained 30 fps but had a hitching issue most likely due to un-optimized memory code. It basically just caused a small stutter. The X version basically runs at sub 30 (20) fps constantly when lots of things are happening on the screen.

It's a game that doesn't reach 4k and doesn't maintain 30 fps.

@Platinum_Fan

Sure thing, dude. I´ll leave you with this:

"Hopefully this is something that Epic Games can fix closer to release. After all, this game isn´t final yet, it´s stil ongoing. A kind of open beta or early access if you will, so, we can probably expect to see further refinements regards to the performance, more optimization. After all the frame pacing issues were eliminated from Ps4 Pro and it´s likely we´ll see better performance from Xbox One X as well."

Platinum_Fan3093d ago

Right the frame pacing issue resulted in a stutter or as he puts it judder.

This is a quote from the video below.

"There was an issue with improper framer pacing resulting in a judder in areas where the game was maintaining a steady frame-rate"

I didn't say this issue can't be fixed but fixing it will likely result in lowered setting or resolution.

@Platinum_Fan

"I didn't say this issue can't be fixed but fixing it will likely result in lowered setting or resolution."

You mean like Titanfall 2 and Project Cars 2? /S

I don´t why we need Digital Foundry when we can just listen to N4G´s "unbiased professionals". Smdh.

LateNightThirst3091d ago

Pipe down ignoramus, clearly have no clue as to how game development works. UE4 is highly programmable for lower to the metal optimization, which makes zero sense for EPIC to do at the moment seeing as its not in final code. They're targeting a launch resolution and working to eliminate bottle necks and programming bugs to improve performance. So closer to its full launch you'll see improvements in performance, though I doubt the PS4 Pro is going anywhere above 1080p

what about the unnecessity of the whole title because the multiblah online shooter market is oversaturated?

starsi3603092d ago

What about it?

It’s a great game that me and many millions of others are enjoying... so what’s the issue?

TankCrossing3092d ago

I suppose it can join the "unnecessary" pile, alongside every game ever created.

Pantz3092d ago

Plays best on the X as to be expected.

XtreemGamer3092d ago

If 20fps is the best then X is in trouble

nowitzki20043092d ago

Actually plays best on PC. But believe what you want.

Pantz3092d ago

From what I've seen Xbox One X has been outperforming even some PC games. I'd have to see a direct comparison to be sure.

nowitzki20043092d ago

@Pantz yes you would have to see a direct comparison. Because it doesnt, not my PC at least and thats 3 years old

cellfluid3092d ago

What happened to true 4k 60fps uncompromised? Lol another game on the so called beast that falls short of Microsoft claims

81BX3092d ago

Enjoy your pro. Stop hating. The console is great even if you don't like it

LateNightThirst3091d ago

Show me a direct statement where Microsoft promised 4K 60 FPS all the time
