Nature of Patch:
- Series S suffers due to being a One S up-conversion, stuck at 1080p/30.
- PS4 Pro runs in mid 40's, touching 50 at 4K. One X is close to 4K/60 in many scenarios.
- PS5 runs at flawless 4K/60
- Both Xbox consoles suffer drops at one area on the map. 40's on Series X and 30's on One X in 4K mode.
- DF thinks the above is a software issue.

I know it's still early in the generation but the whole most powerful console marketing is having a hard time convincing people.
It's not even that it's having a hard time, it's literally one specific repeatable section of the map. same thing happens on the One X compared to PS4 Pro. It's a bizarre issue to have, and considering it's consistent with the One X shows that it isn't really a power thing. Other than that one section, both are locked 4K 60. It's the kind of issue 99% of players would likely never even notice if they didn't read about/watch it here beforehand.
No they did not.
And that is on EA, who seems intent with this nonsense, while pulling Criterion from their NFS project.

They patched the last gen version unlocking FPS in the 4K mode on PS4 Pro and One X.
The next-gen version doesn't have any visual enhancements.
It will probably start mattering (if it ever will) when exclusives start dropping and both consoles stop selling out as soon as they're restocked.
Wonder why we see so many developers have weird hiccups like this on series X. The Xbox One X is almost hitting 4k60, but a specific area on the map is in low 40s on Series X. Such a weird thing.
It's probably just a bug. I mean, some PS5 games also had some strange performance issues in the paat that have been fixed.
The differences though are very slim right now, but I can't say we haven't been "warned".
I mean its a mere technicality. These consoles are incredibly close barring an exception here or there most multiplats are going to be virtually identical and the only differentiator will be ecosystem and hardware specific things like dual sense features.
Anyone buying these consoles thinking they will have better multiplat performance than the other and not buying because of ecosystem are being foolish.
That's because Halo Infinite isn't out yet! /s
Kidding aside, I thought PS5 would wind up on top of sales in this gen even with a 10-15% power gap. Seeing come out on top so many time is suprising.
Nor should they. The Series X is more powerful than the PS5.
Whether it is by a micron or a kilometer, the PR folk will tout that advantage.
It's so weird that those curves just tank the Xbox performance. Like, it's not even a specially good looking part of the map lol
I guess a patch will come.

I don't think it will. This is the bare minimum they could get away with, a simple frame rate unlock.
That bug has been around since the original release, no way whatever team did this patch will want to dig into the code to figure out what's causing it and go through Q/A and certification again.
I mean, it is the most powerful console on the market, even if the gap isn't a dramatic one. You're confusing individual software issues/bugs for hardware capability. In this case, it's a "next-gen aware" style patch, rather than a native conversion for the new systems, and it's obviously brought in some bugs along the way.
This was a PS3 game originally right? Doesn't bode well for the new Xbox, but it's certainly just bad programming or tools issues.
This is very clearly an issue with the game as the same drops are present on the Xbox One X, not with the console being able to reach 4K/60, which it does the majority of the time.
It's not even. The new 4K/unlocked mode the video talks about is on PS4 Pro / One X as well. In fact, Series S has to use the One S profile because of that.
Yea...when comparing gcn flops to rdna2 flops. Software issues aside...the current specs of both machines still tell a story.

What an ugly game. I'm pretty sure my cell phone can maintain 60fps in something like this...looks like nasty code hitches.
"To be clear though, it's very clearly a software issue - after all, Hot Pursuit Remastered does seem to be based primarily on the PC original, which was exceptionally well put together back in the day."
It's a bug, and one that very likely won't be fixed.

as someone who loves Burnout Paradise (and is currently replaying it on the Switch rn) this video sold me on picking this up for the PS5 sometime, looks surprisingly great for a touched up 10 year old game. it's a shame they've been shuffled around as a support studio recently, but hopefully their next NFS turns out well.
No, IIRC the developers said that above 60FPS there's apparently physics issues.
That's a hot take but not surprising as we had these before with series x
I never know when people are being deliberately obtuse in these threads.
Sucks about the slowdown on XSX, I love the turn they bring up as problematic :/ One of those wide turns you can make beautiful drifts out of.
Hopefully they fix the Xbox versions.
I am really glad they did this patch though. I was disappointed they never had it when it came out but now it is perfect.
Anybody who never played this should do so. It is one of the best in the series.

Could it potentially be that the Series S is the bottle neck for the Series X due to the weaker hardware of the former?
Except...the performance of this years old game has...nothing to do with...Microsoft?
This bug occured on the Xbox One X versions as well. It's a software issue.
Fanboys be fanboys. The comments section on the YouTube video are something. Twitter too. Even see it here.
