This was my guess too, and all things considered, that moment of extra loading is absolutely worth it for a smaller file size (assuming it's what's going on). I know we're pretty much within the margin of error anyway, but still.

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

The real world difference in loading time experience is negligible for multi-platform games by and large so far, for sure. Compared to last gen, the difference is stark though, for sure!
This is my exact situation. It must be the VRR fixing this as stuttering is a complete non issue for me with my XSX and LG CX.
I find myself way more able/willing to just pick up and play a game at random, with the loading improvements. It's such a big difference, all around.
I noticed the odd stutter like this when I played through the backwards compatible version. It didn't start happening until half way into the game but was rare enough not to ruin the game. It was most noticeable when opening and closing the map. Audio issues also popped up near the end of the game which was a bummer.
Assuming this new version is built on the last gen code it would make sense the bugs came along for the ride. At least it sounds like they'll get fixed.

I get the same thing is when I've paused and go back into the game I get it. Don't see it any other time but I'm not too far in.
Only time I notice a stutter on my series x is when I go into the pause menu and back to gameplay. Doesn't seem to happen when I go to character menu or gameplay
Dunno if it's been asked before but does this support hdr on the series x? Can't seem to find any settings regarding it
Of course this is the case right now, but I don't think it will take too long for Sony to allow expandable storage to be put to PS5's internal slot. Then again, file sizes could be something that will be majorly in favour of PS5 for the whole generation.
42% smaller isn't exactly a minor difference.
It's a bit weird that the load times are the same as is the visuals between PS5 and Series X. There should be some sort of differentiation given the spec differences in SSD speeds or TF/CU.
I guess it's going to be a while before we actually see what these systems are capable of.

Yeah. I actually realized my PS5 had downloaded the PS4 version of Control instead of the PS5 version when I first opened it because of the load time to get to the menu. I immediately knew what had happened.
I don't think so. We would see much better loadings I think (like in Demon's souls). I think it could be related to using oodle textures and maybe deduplication of data.
As I said, it's a super welcome decrease in size but it equally doesn't mean a lot if I'm out of size on one and I've got like another TB free on the other.
When they finally push out their expanded storage option stuff it'll be great. I'm so ready to buy a big SSD to stick in! Until then, I wouldn't say that smaller storage sizes is a particualarly advantageous trend. It's a bandaid to help a storage issue at the moment. And a welcome one!
Yep! I agree, but calling it a band-aid is hardly true for most gamers.
All I'm saying is that most just aren't going to buy any kind of pricey storage expansion on either PS5 or XSX, so it's definitely an advantage when you think outside of a typical Era member's buying habits.
I think so. I've got it at about 66/68 I think and it looks good.
Would love to see more back compat games like this (and future next gen only games) have a 60fps & RT mode like Spider-Man & Spidey:MM
Could be the case . I wonder why the file size difference is so big between the two .
I think both the Series X GPU advantage and the PS5 SSD advantage were both grossly overstated in the pre-launch war days. I don't think we're going to see much difference between the Series X and PS5 version of any multiplat game.
Yeah... Parity with 3rd party games is probably a good thing... although I think it's still too early for me personally to hope this will be case entire gen.
I have noticed the PS5 version is insanely dark in certain areas vs. Series X. I've seen the stuttering on Series X too, although PS5 isn't without them. Although far fewer, I have noticed a couple about halfway through the game on PS5. Both look terrific however. That Series S is also impressive! Almost makes me want to get one just to see how stuff runs on it. Plus, I love that small form factor.
Completely agreed.
But as stated by the other user I imagine that this whole storage situation is just a temporary one.
Anyway we don´t know if this is a unique case or something that we´ll spread in the future.
Maybe when Xbox tools are more mature they can also benefit from better compression.
Another interesting off-shoot from the AutoHDR stuff is that from Alex/DF's initial coverage of the game, he mentions that the 1X seems to be at mostly Medium-level PC settings, whilst running @1440p.

Obviously we have the infamous PS5/XSX image from the other thread with a lot of the settings on 'low'.
Does this mean there is another (possibly better?) aesthetic presentation running the XB1X version in BC + AutoHDR on XSX? I thought the AutoHDR implementation on the standard edition was good, personally.
Naturally this is the cost of RT options or 60FPS.

These teams are probably setting targets and when they hit them with each individual platform they call it a day. This is probably especially true here considering Remedy has moved on from Control and this is probably a skeleton team porting the game.
If you are seeing it going from performance to graphics, you are just seeing the 30 FPS.
Be that as it may, my point is still the exact same regardless
Yeah I don't feel comfortable calling PS5 a 399 machine
Although I could see why someone who was able to score one of the thirteen Digital units that Sony bothered to even make would be
Aside from the RT, are the settings higher on the One X when compared to PS5 and XSX?
Damn I though I was going to play on Xbox. Now I'm torn
Xbox has stutters / good brightness
Ps5 has crushed black / amazing dual sense / half size files
I'll play it on the first that's corrected. Xbox for stutters or ps5 for black. But dual sense is crazy there. I would miss it
On Xbox
That's just how it feels to go from 60fps to 30fps. I started the game at 30fps and it felt fine, changed it to 60fps at the first instance of combat, then changed it back to 30fps and it felt unplayable...though I'm sure I would have gotten sure to it again after a while.
Regardless, I think it's amazing the game is only 20 something gbs. This is definitely something important when PS5's SSD comes at a premium.
Bad frame-pacing and the motion blur implementation is mediocre
I think PS5/XSX may have downgraded settings in favor of performance. Digital Foudry said One X has graphics options equivalent to medium while next gen consoles have it on low.
I'm not making any concrete opinions on these consoles until we're a couple years in and aaa first party stuff starts appearing.
hopefully they fix the bugs here and it will be a fine way to play this game.

Are you talking about the graphics mode for next gen? If so, that's a yikes moment for RT implementation.
Controlaron Series S hold very well, some dips but still above 50 fps and for less than some seconds. I have a big backlog but I want get the game right now 😅
Yeah definitely disable the motion blur in the game, it's atrocious. Everything just turns in to mush on any camera movement.
