Resident Evil Village: The Digital Foundry Tech Review + PS5, Xbox Series X|S Analysis!

On my death bed, as my life flashes before my eyes, I'll remember those eight seconds. Those damned eight seconds. I could have used eight seconds to think about making a sandwich, or to inhale once, but no - I wasted it. Wasted on a fucking loading screen.
To hell with you, Capcom. You took those eight seconds away from me, you bastards.

Great video!
I have an LG CX TV and I know it supports VRR but I'd it just always on? I'm definitely getting on Series X If I can use the VRR to smooth out the little bumps while RT is on.
I can't believe we have a 4K60 with RT this early in the new generation. On a cross gen game no less. The future is gonna be crazy

I went with the Series X version. The fact that the game sticks very close to 60fps most of the time with RT on is really cool.
Plus people are going to using Quick Resume - who the hell cares about 6 seconds. It's so dumb.

Another user earlier in the topic posted a video, I think, showing a 5 second initial load.
Could be a multitude of things. By tomorrow we'll have more user samples to compare.
That's good for you. I care more about frame drops than a 6-second loading screen. That's why I invested in a VRR OLED and hope that Sony implements a VRR solution soon.
User warned: Platform wars
Oh boy, DF comparison threads are fantastic.
One console with X in the name has higher resolution in a game: "Pff, you can't even see the differences. Framerate is KING."
One console with X in the name has higher framerates plus VRR for basically a flawless output: "Framerate is KIN... fuck Framerate. Loading times ftw!"
Just for the record: I LOVE what Capcom has done with both versions. Looks really, really good for both platforms and both of em deserve it. That goal post moving is extremely entertaining, tho.

That's unfortunate to hear. Why didn't df crew picked up this issue
Seriously. Lmao. No one's going to be disappointed technically.
Yeah I saw that. I made a clip tho and it looks nothing like the problem footage. I'll upload later.

Cool, it was pretty jarring in the demo, fixed a bit by turning off all acceleration options, but not as fine-tuned as the PS4 demo in my experience.
Both dropped more than 1 or 2 frames right, or are you talking about XSX vs PS5? If that's the case, I don't care about the versus. I care about the overall frame drops, not if XSX dropped more than PS5.

Can always turn RT off if it's much of an issue. If it's just one loading for the entire thing, then that's not bad. But I'd take the hit if there was more instances of needing to load to just save that time. I relish fast loading.
People really need to stop getting hung up over these ridiculously small performance differences.
Yep that is the reason why this topic is so small not much to say since every version has some good going for it.
Quick Resume is hit or miss. I don't rely on it because so many games don't support it and I can never tell so I always make sure I save a game before I close it just in case. Plus again, when you die you have to load regardless.
Also the Series X has dead zone issues when PS5 doesn't. I wish DF covered that.
It doesn't. Maybe the PS5 version is more perfect - I can't compare - but it isn't making rectangles like it was in the demo. Scroll up.
I think it is.
I'lol be playing this on it in the next 30 mins. Excited!
In that case, you can't go wrong with either one since they both have few periods of very minor frame drops.
It is for me. For sure. Sometimes just back to Home menu, then a full restart of a game.
Does the full game have better dualsense motion controls? Or is it still the same nonsense that was in the demo?
I see nothing wrong with that being an option to choose one version over the other. Very minor, yes, but not an issue.
It's out of control! You buy the game on the system you enjoy playing on. Once you start playing you won't even think about it. It's not like a pc game where you have a million settings to fiddle with.
The circle thing is a symptom more than the actual problem imo. My issue is that diagonals are slowed down. Trying to aim in a wide circle is just the easiest way to demonstrate this. Full game felt the exact same as the demo to me. This is what I'm talking about (9 sensitivity, no acceleration):
I don't know how much of it comes through the video because it's something you ultimately have to feel, but the diagonal movements are clearly more sluggish to me than the cardinal directions. It feels really bad to me whenever it happens.
Did they fix Gyro aiming on PS5? I remember reading that one of demos had it, but it was busted.
don't slander mgs4. Those egg scenes were pivotal plot points.
in general differences seem pretty minor.
The BFI-or-VRR choice snippet was interesting and I hope they talk about it a bit more in a future direct weekly.
I thought so too. I'll have to mess around with this, as someone who doesn't always enjoy the motion of my CX.
I think it was a digital foundry direct, their new weekly podcast show where he went into detail about how with HDR the extra brightness can counter the motion so you have better motion and no brightness lost essentially.
I can't remember the game, but I'm sure he said it in regards to a 2D style game. Makes sense to me as it would fix any issues with motion while having great brightness.
I only have an E8 so no idea if this would work but I always found BFI to have this weird flickering that I just can't see past, but as I said I have no idea if newer models have fixed this
EDIT: he talks about in for samurai Shodown 120fps mode at 34:09. Says it gives perfect motion with no brightness loss, and reminds him of playing fighting games on a CRT

Just a pet peeve, people that want to make comparisons need to compare apples to apples. If you want to use percentages, use percentages for both metrics, if you want to use differences, use them for both if you want to use absolute values use them for both.
So it's either framerate difference is 6 fps and load time difference is 6.9 s or it's framerate is 12.5% greater on XSX / 11.1% smaller on PS5 and loading times are 78.9% smaller on PS5 / 439.5% greater on XSX or it's minimum framerates are 48 and 54 fps and load times are 1.57 and 8.47 s.
Do not mix if you want to make fair comparisons

Yeah in this video he enabled tone mapping to make up for the loss in brightness.
