DF: Control Ultimate Edition - the next-gen experience compared on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles

Honestly the Series S holding a near-locked 60fps at 900p is impressive, considering the Series X and PS5 are only at 1440p.
PS5 suffers from crushed blacks, Xbox Series S|X has minor stutter. Sounds like Remedy will be addressing each of those issues in a future patch.
Honestly they're virtually identical in every meaningful metric.
For slightly less stutter and smaller file size.
otherwise very very close
The stutter is slight but the file size difference is massive, right? Assuming that locked thread yesterday is correct.
ah, is this an HDR issue or does it have crushed blacks in general? Because this might explain my "I cant see shit in this game" feeling I've had a few times now (non-HDR).
It's a problem with the game, Remedy already said they are going to fix it.
good to hear! It's not a dealbreaker, but nice to know its on Remedy's radar.
They're dead even and each of them has a separate issue that the developers are working on correcting.
As I said in another thread, RT looks like a no go for this gen for me because if the only way to get it is to give up 60fps it's not worth it. The difference in playability is massive between the two.
It's cool to see the game finally shining on consoles, even with compromises to do so, makes me wonder what the fuck CDPR will do with Cyberpunk later this year.
Yep and it's a great thing. Love that you can have a good experience no matter where you play.
For third party games, yes. I think it's becoming clear that even when there ARE differences, they're going to be extremely minor and virtually no one will be able to actually notice the differences in normal gameplay.
What's really going to be interesting this gen, is what each platform is able to produce for 1st party AAA titles. Can't wait to see what exclusives are looking like on each platform in a few years.
Based on a port by a small team of a notoriously demanding game? Come on.
I got it through either PS Plus or PS Now on PS4 and just turned it off at first battle cause it was stuttering and just awful basically.
Bought the ultimate version on XSX for £17 at the holidays and just waited until now. Glad I did.
It's not related to hardware or how demanding the game is, looks like something wrong with the game on the Series versions.
Don't expect it. They already said they don't have the bandwidth to make more graphics profiles.
Most disappointing thing about PS5 graphics mode isn't even the low/below low pc settings or 30fps, it's the frankly insane input lag it has. Strange to see no mention of this in either DF article. It's one of those cases where you don't just feel it, you can see it, no need for high speed camera or anything. Press jump, *pause*, jumping happens.
I thought I was starting to notice some stutters on Series X last night on performance mode. Good to know I'm not going crazy. Might hold off on continuing and see if Remedy patches that up.
Thought they made it pretty clear they think it is something wrong with the game on Series X|S, not the hardware or how demanding the game is.
A notoriously demanding game that also runs uniquely bad on AMD hardware.
It's really kind of a worst case scenario here. So I'll take 1440p w/ ray tracing.
I haven't seen the video yet, just reacting off the blurb in the OP.
I suspected the game has margin to improve but small team can only do so much with so many skus.
It is on PS+ so easy choice here for multiplatform owners that are subscribed.
I don't feel it that different than when i played on ps4, visually (but played long ago). Fluidity however it's just perfect.

Weird i feel the opposite. The game had really bad input lag on the Pro and its way better here
Remedy has already said a patch is on the way to correct the stutters. It has nothing to do with the PS5 being "fast enough".
Some comments at the start imply the game feels snappier than it had on last-gen hardware. That may have just been in the general sense from the the 60 fps output, but it was mentioned as a benefit.
Yes, I read that in the blurb. It's good that this is an acknowledged issue and they're working on it.
The issue is still present on all the last gen versions and not patched, so I'm cautious about how quick they'll fix it.
If you read the blurb in the OP you'd read that Remedy is looking to address the stutters in a future patch.
Then invest in a RTX 3080. Honestly the amount of tech the new consoles are packing in for their price compared to last gen is incredible, but having a modern CPU and SSD in there obviously reduces the GPU budget. It's a balance, the consoles could have had better GPUs but then we'd still be stuck with mechanical drives and slow load speeds, or a weak CPU bottlenecking everything again. Instead we have the most balanced console hardware we've seen for a long time, as far as both PS5 and XSX are concerned. But if you want high framerates and resolutions and ultra settings, as with every generation, you're going to need to invest a lot more than $500 in a PC. And it's nice that we have that option. But try out Gears Hivebusters on XSX or the God of War 4k/60 patch on PS5 and I honestly don't know how you could not be utterly impressed with either.
I wonder if there will be a game on next-gen consoles where I'd actually use the graphics mode.
Cool to have, regardless. But so far, from my Demons souls and Star Wars playthroughs, I doubt it.

3060 ti is a beast for 1440p gaming if you can get your hands on one
