Digital Foundry: Control Ultimate Edition on PlayStation 5: The Next Generation Tech Review
- Thread starter chandoog

Clearly, as we see here. The laws of physics were meant to be broken!
I think Alex said in the video that one is being published comparing the consoles shortly.
Yep it's your opinion. I'm going back to my PC with RT Max and DLSS 2.0.
It's a new tech and a fantastic one. These consoles need it.
The results here are clearly an outlier, and atypical. Hence why everyone's disappointed. Try to keep up.
Same exact settings according to DF with some I/O stutters seen on Xbox.

I'm no game dev however having played on a 2060 Super (admittedly at only 1080p) with all the bells and whistles on....those settings seem lower than what I feel the console can actually handle.
Feeling really sorry for the people who double-dipped on the Ultimate Edition for the next-gen upgrades only to end up with a bad port job. This game was awfully optimized for last-gen consoles, so I'm not surprised it's awfully optimized for the new consoles as well.
Not really. It's just a very demanding and probably unoptimized game. Good image quality in VR is the new Crysis ;)
Fuck sake, I was hoping for a settings bump across the board with all the added power the next gen consoles bring.
Feels like we are getting a better running and not much better looking, XBX version on ps5 and XBSX.
30fps mode out for me then, fuck it. Might as well play this at 1440p 60fps on ps5
There's no indication that the settings are identical, just the feature set (30fps with Ray Tracing and 60fps without for Series X) is with similar performance to the PS5 version.
The full quote is:
Best to wait for Tom's video before we make any hard statements around configuration settings. Also interesting that the PS5 version is a day 1 patch whilst they compared the Gold Master for Xbox, not clear if there will also be a day 1 patch and if there is, if it tackles the stuttering.
What's the verdict on performance mode v. quality mode? I was planning to play this in performance mode but then saw the cool reflections and other bits and pieces and thought.... maybe I should play it in quality mode. I haven't played the game at all yet, waiting for the nextgen patch.
What possesses someone to "not be a fan" of DLSS? Genuinely curious why anyone would take this position.
Consoles badly need AI-powered temporal upscaling. Unfortunately, they will never have a hardware implementation like Tensor cores+DLSS. The benefits of DLSS are clear, and indisputable, and posturing against it for ... reason? is silly.
Whats happening here? The reflection is totally wrong, no?
the ssd is so fast, it's already showing the reflections from behind that door.
I personally think quality mode is the way to go. Wayyy too many improvements to ignore, especially when the 60fps mode is solid, but not locked.
A lot of the settings do seem like they could've been carried over from last gen.
I wonder if they just focused on adding RT for their quality mode and raised the fps cap to 60 for their performance mode and called it a day.
That's a little surprising given the PC equivalent settings.
Since they didn't go into the lighting, I assume the raytracing doesn't improve it? Since I'm playing it now and some objects are still brightly lit in dark areas. That's the most disappointing thing since I care about that a hell of a lot more than reflections.
At least it runs well. No more sub-10FPS fights like what I experienced on base PS4.

Nice to see them stable framerates 👌 .
Don't really understand why the base settings/Non-RT overall couldn't be medium (filtering etc.), but if that meant that there would be no stable framerate I would understand.

I watched the video and didn't look like there was a verdict. Depends on what's more important to you. Both options run very stable.
So it's 60fps or ray-tracing. Up to you.
I'm going with performance mode for now. I'm up to the hotline chamber but I wasn't blown away by the ray tracing + 30 fps on quality mode.

Like I said in the other thread. No way in hell should my GTX 1060 be outperforming even the Series S.
Agreed. Expecting this to run like a on 3080 with top of the line CPU + DLSS is unrealistic. I think they made the right compromises with both options.
"resetera.gif" Damnit!
Haha, I was leaning towards quality mode but I might just toggle it on and off early on to see what makes the biggest impact for me. Thanks!
Can't imagine people who bought the vanilla and double dipped for the ultimate edition are too happy.
Performance mode seems to struggle more than I hoped in heavy fights. For some reason I assumed it would be locked 60fps with no RT and I shouldn't have done that. A bit disappointing, especially after looking at those graphics settings. AMD really needs their own DLSS type tech.
Maybe we should compare these results to AMD GPU's instead of Nvidia ones considering AMD GPU's struggle with RT turned on? The 6800 has 1% lows down to 24fps at high settings with RT on at 1440p (average is around 35fps), and it's around 60% more powerful than the PS5 so I'm going to say the consoles are doing just fine considering what they're working with.
I mean Spiderman has already shown that this is not true. Also Valhalla and Call Of Duty have shown, that if a game is optimized, the differences between LG and NG is incredible.
And it used multi-sampling to display what appeared to be a much higher resolution, yes. QB looks better than Control on base Xbox One and I know that for a fact. The physics in Control drag performance down, as we all know. Some characters and maps have better detail in Quantum Break because of that. Can't speak for PC.
Point is, the console version of Quantum Break was good. And Alan Wake ran perfectly fine on the 360, too, so I don't kpow why you are saying that all Remedy games run badly on console just because Control had frame-rate issues. And this (the EU) isn't even a bad port at all, it's just that consoles need something like DLSS and it's starting to show.
Not only 720p, but major texture pop-in issues, awful shadow quality, jarring LOD transitions, etc..
Not really a big of a jump for me to play it again. Not surprising though since consoles don't have DLSS.
Have you seen Control on base Xbox One? Because I played that shit. Quantum Break is overall the best performing Remedy game on consoles, unless we count Control on PS5/XSX. Even the One X had problems with Control.
