From a performance perspective it appears that PS4 version runs very smoothly, while X1 version has a lot of issues: tearing and frequent fps drops as low as 20.

Look at this image.

http://gifyu.com/images/Hal...

How low the resolution is in this image.

This is one ugly consequence for implementing a dynamic resolution.

In my opinion such IQ is unacceptable for 2015.

Can you say the same thing after seeing this image?

http://gifyu.com/images/Hal...

This is what you have by implementing a dynamic resolution.

I can't dare to say what resolution the game was running in that image, but it is very very low.

One of the irritating issues in Halo 5 could be the black corners and borders from HUD.

They are too intrusive, reminding me somehow of The Order 1886.

Maybe the black borders were intentionally put there in order to help the performance/ graphics.

You should read DF article, according to which:

"Perhaps a resolution drop may have provided [X1] the same 60fps lock as on the PS4, albeit at the further expense of image quality".

So this is the reason why the vast majority of X1 games are 900p.

The dev you are talking about are Platinum games, the ones that are developing Scalebound, a X1 exclusive.

Under the circumstances, for sure they have knowledge to deal with X1 hardware, BUT a weak console is a weak console.

Poor optimization?!!

We are talking here about Platinum games a well known developer which is actually very familiarized with Xbox platforms (see Bayonetta face off).

Also, don't forget that Platinum games is working for an Xbox exclusive, Scalebound. So surely they have extensive knowledge of X1 platform.

Good list!

However, you should move COD AW in the PS4 list as the frame rate was fixed after 1 month from the release.

Even if DF did not make a specific article on this, we can observe the benefits of the patch by comparing these two DF videos:

- PS4 without patch
https://youtu.be/NxLr0vcoFL...

- PS4 with patch

Yeah, let's take for granted everything DF say. s/

The most obvious explanation is that PS4 won this face off do to its (much) better hardware.

Why is so hard to be accepted by some people.

This result is just a continuation of what happened in the past week, in which the PS4 had the better version (resolution & frame rate) of Battlefront 3 and Witcher 3.

Also, the ugly frame rates in the X1 version is also due to the...

I remember that at the initial face off many people were demanding that the resolution on the PS4 to be dropped in order to achieve a better frame rate.

Well the 1.10 patch shows those people that are wrong and that the PS4 is more than capable of running 1080p games at a better frame rate than of the competitor (although the competitor game runs at a lower resolution than the PS4).

For those who disagree, according to DF:

"As for PS4, this is the first patch where the platform is so consistently ahead of Xbox One in performance terms".

" It's a lead that holds across all scenes on PS4, a version that already benefits from a 1080p resolution, compared to Xbox One's dynamic setup (resolving typically at 900p)".

Yes, with the 1.10 patch Witcher 3 is another game for the PS4 with better resolution AND better frame rate than the X1 counterpart.

I have always known that the PS4 version will receive the TLC that X1 already benefited (due to MS marketing deal).

Now, it is time for me to buy the game for my PS4 and enjoy the masterpiece.

How about the fact that Halo 5 drops the resolution as low as 1152x810, which is very very close to 720p.

Who is to be blamed in this case?

Not to mention that Battlefront 3 looks much better than Halo 5, IMO.

But haven't you X1 fans said that resolution is king?! Well this is what DICE improved the Frostbite engine, the fps.

Don't forget that the PS4 version ALSO runs better, having (much) less frame rate drops.

Another game where the PS4 has better looks AND better performance.

On this list can now be include Witches 3 too, as the patch 1.10 solved all the fps issues the PS4 had (check the link).

To this list we can now add Witches 3, as with the patch 1.10 the PS4 version is the best version between the consoles. All the fps issues were solved (check the link).

Have you guys seen the frame rate improvements on PS4 that are brought by 1.10 patch?!

In the swamp area (the most demanding areas), the game does not go under 27 fps. So no more 20fps cap.

The performance is even better than on X1 now. I cannot wait to buy it for my PS4!

I totally agree.

Even if it was obvious, considering his position, Phil should have NEVER stated that.

With this statement he ruined all the remaining hope and positivity in Xbox One.

Here it's not about a honesty matter, but it's about the belief that X1 console has the potential to diminish the difference.

Now we see that even Phil, the head of Xbox, does no longer have hopes with X1, and he admits defeat after ONLY...

Halo 5 has dynamic resolution and runs in certain places at 1152x810 which is very very close to 720p. Not to mention that the game has no AF. For more details please check the related DF article.

As regards the Cloud/ parity thing you mentioned, why didn't 343 used it for Halo 5 as surely parity wasn't the factor for this game.

Cloud/ Azure cannot help with graphics, but only with physics and thus no server can increase the resolution in X1 games. ...

The engine was optimized for Battlefront 3.

Haven't you seen the better frame rate?

Comparing with Battlefield 4 the frame rate is much much better. I could say a 20% improvement. Do you think that such improvement is ootained without optimization?

Forza 6 is a racing game, which looks very similar with Forza 5 (according to DF) and has no dynamic light and no dynamic weather. So 1080/60 is not such a big accomplishment.
