Digital Foundry: Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered: PS5 vs Xbox Series X Head-To-Head!

What gives you the impression the game will never be patched again?
Is VRR available in BC titles? Would have been nice to hear how that could have helped smooth out that area of game.

I could swear its already on Game Pass ?
Yes, VRR is available on Xbox on a system level.
In the video John mentions he was playing using a VRR display which doesn't help with the game, which is weird.
VRR works in BC titles (it's a system level feature, and was already available officially on Xbox One), but the drops on those curves in the coast area are low enough that many VRR displays wouldn't be able to address them.
LMAO. Man, some desperation in this thread.
This has nothing to do with the system.
Console war comments in this thread continue to embarrass Resetera.
It's fascinating to see bugs or unexpected issues that come up when running existing console code on more powerful systems. This bug was always hiding in the Xbox One X version of the game but we never saw it because it was capped at 30fps in 4k.
The moment when the One X version drops below the PS4pro is something else.
I hope it gets patched, I've always wanted to play this game but I keep putting it off. The praise for it at the start of the video got me itching to play some Burnout.

Based on what people are saying here about EAs efforts with this game does it seem likely?
Looks nice. Think I'll get this. Love me some arcade racers.
PS5 still defying the odds. This is totally unexpected from me. Series X does BC so good, I did not see this coming.
Also, I think DF said that fps drop was repeatable on other tracks for the XBox consoles. Its something about the corners.

Honestly this always ends up being like half the discourse and it's super annoying. The other half of the discussion (and most of the content in the analysis videos) is focused on how well the devs optimized a game or how they decided to make subtle cuts in order to keep the experience smooth and appealing on each platform. Probably why my favorite videos are ones where they look at an outlier hardware like the Switch ports of the Doom games. In those cases, no one cares that it looks better or worse, everyone is just amazed at how well the devs adapt to a completely different hardware spec.
It's not. One X always has some lead even at its worse. Which is why the results are surprising here as XSX should be able to brute force the difficult scenes compared to XBX.
I think this is a case where it's not possible to confidently use highly probabilistic language. EA did enough to patch this game, the patch did more than just add in a performance mode and has additional changes and improvements across all consoles. It's possible that this marks the end of support for the game, but I don't think there's any particular reason to think that was highly likely.
The Xbox One X usually has some lead even at its worst.
Usually, but definitely not always:
This quote below demonstrates what I was referring to.

The One X outperforms the PS4pro in most scenarios but when they hit that corner the framerate drops below PS4pro but never hits less than 30fps.
So before this latest patch that unlocks the framerate at 4k, there was no way to see the bug on Xbox One X.
Hope they fix it and hope they unlock 60fps on Series S.
Yeah they couldn't even give any love to Series S I highly doubt they'll fix the frame rate issues it has now
The game has crossplay with the console versions and has the DLC included, which wasn't released for PC. The patch also added a livery editor for racer vehicles.
Graphically I'm not sure. Playing the maximum setting version on Series X it definitely looks better, but it's been a while since I last played the PC release.
I remember when it came out some people were showing comparisons where the PC version had higher resolution textures in many places, and the foliage was better. Not sure if that is still the case after this patch.
Personally I think it's close enough that if you have the PC version there's no pressing need to upgrade. Though I have it on PC and bought it, so I went against my own advice.
Aight, with this patch I'm getting the new version.
One of my faves on PS3, but I didn't feel the update before this patch was worth the investment.

Yep it's 99,9% a software bug, because in this corner the Series X is performing worse than PS4 Pro. Nobody in here can tell me that's a hardware issue.
No.
Not if it's a bug, which this definitely seems to be.
I liked playing it at 1080/60 on a ps5, but let me tell you this one REALLY improves at 4k/60. You get longer time to react when you can SEE cars incoming from 2miles away. Load times could be better tho.
As far as I can tell, there are only two console war posts in this entire thread. The vast majority of the thread is then responding to those two posts or complaining about the two posts and blaming it on Era.
Maybe just ignore the tiny amount of console war posts next time?

It could be that... orrrrr the Switch is as powerful as the PS4 regular and Xbox Series S. Since this is clearly the best game to judge such things.
The fact that it's just the one spot is very interesting. Also means that the game is pretty much fine on XSX, I think I can tolerate a dip to 40s if it's so predictable.
It's also fascinating to see how close the One X gets to 4K/60 minus that same spot.
In any case, it can't possibly be a hardware issue on a game from 11 years ago, and I'm sure this will be patched out by the time the game hits EA Play.
Probably this spot wasn't optimized before because it didn't fall below 30fps on One X anyway, so it made no practical difference there.

The same spot drops to the 30s on One X. My guess is they didn't bother optimizing it since it was capped at 30fps anyway.
Why this only happens on Xbox is a mystery, but it should be fixable.
I played it for the first time on the PS5 but there way too many Time Trials-type of events there and the traffic in those kind of events is infuriating. The thing this game does great are normal races and hot pursuits but there should have been more then what's there. What hurts this even more is they put presentation over quick retry so you always have to watch the stupid into scene if you want to retry a time trial and skipping takes too long. Disappointed tbh.
Also the music selection sucks ass, muted that shit after one hour in.
Guess I am selling the game. Could have been one of my favorite racers of all time if not for that.

It seems like an overlooked bug. Since the game didn't run at a unlocked frame rate on the 4k mode till this current patch.
Hardware wise this game can run at 4k 60 on most 4-5tf plus GPUs. I remember my old gtx 780 being able to do 4k 60 with small dips on the original version.

I'm convinced the Doom Switch ports use arcane sorcery to get those results.
Those games are Crytek tier machine magic.
I think there's still multiple modes to choose even on SX/ps5. Felt pretty good when i played it when it was available on EA Access.
