The Evil Within 2 PS4/PS4 Pro Analysis: Frame-Rate Test + Graphics Comparison
Ойындар
John takes a first look at the PlayStation 4 version of The Evil Within 2. After the disastrous technical performance of the first game, we were curious to see how those issues would be remedied for the sequel. From performance to image quality, we examine it all.

30fps is alright for such game. It's really just first person shooters and racing games, where 30fps is unacceptable. I'm talking about solid 30fps, no dips and/or stutter. The key is consistency.

oh and i tried playing the game multiple times... i hated it back in 2014/2015 due to the forced letterbox. thankfully its not in the 2nd one at all
Thanks DF for this video, been looking forward to this analysis.
Great analysis. Got my copy now but I never finished evil within 1 so I started over, really excited to see how they improved the many technical weaknesses of the 1st episode.
The letterbox from the original is actually there, it's unlocked after beating the game.

*Guys don't even look at the salt mine.. I mean comment section*
Not only is the letterbox ('black bars') not forced in the first game after the patch as you mentioned, but the second game also includes the same letterbox formatting option later on.
30fps is a lifestyle choice
Bethesda just doesn't care about extra features for consoles.

Both doom parts were very well optimized for consoles, even on base ps4 doom eternal is locked at 60 fps and textures are sharp af
holy shit... this looks really quite good. shocking how they can at times take feedback on board and improve on it massively.
The ads before the video starts are always a minimum of 5 seconds but i watch them till the end coz i think digital foundry deserves that money for such hard work and i don't believe that you guys don't even have 500k subs till now like I've seen crappy channels with a million or more serious this world is a mystery sometimes
Hello DigitalFoundry, thanks for the video. If i understand you in the video, there is no special PS4pro mode? Greeting from Germany. Go on with your great video. Can you test elex on PC/PS4/XBox, thanks.
Thank you for this video. Although, you guys probably don't do requests but would you have any interest to do test videos of recently released Dragon's Dogma for PS4.
That is one of the best fire effects I've seen in video games.
The Evil Within 2 is listed as an Xbox One X enhanced game. However I am not sure exactly how it is expected to be enhanced but 4k HDR visuals seem to be the most common belief but whether that's native 4k or not we will have to wait and see. Interestingly though, this was never mentioned as having PS4 Pro support but I guess people expected it as the X is supposedly getting an enhanced version. It could of course come with a later patch for Pro users but as far as the X goes, its listed as supporting the X with an enhanced version.

It will probably get a patch when the X comes out. Devs don't seem to bothered until the X comes around to patch for the Pro.
Please make a PS4 and PS4 Pro comparison for the remastered L.A. Noire when it's released in november. Cannot wait for that game!
Thank you guys and keep up the good work. I've always made my decision of buying a game because of how you break it apart.
I'm having 2 performance problems, when i'm in a big area and i quickly turn the camera around i see a little stutter and when i load the game or an enemy kills me and it loads from the checkpoint i can see how all the game textures are low and i have to wait like 10 seconds for everything to load and if i move while that process, the game stutters a lot, is anybody else are having this issues?
Great video. My PS4 copy is in the mail. I love the original so am super stoked for the sequel, which to be honest I never thought would happen.
cant wait to get the parts to build my pc. this game is definetley on the list!
@Digital Foundry, any chance that TEW 2 Run´s well on a Phemon 2 6x3.3ghz CPU und a Geforce 1050 Ti 4 GB ?
THANK GOD it's not broken on release. Thanks for the analysis, John.
Im getting very annoying stutters on base ps4 in the exteriors of chapter 3 and even in some interioirs. Its confusing that they are not mentioned in this video, because there are more users experiencing this issue (even in the comments here). On the Bethesda Board people have stated the same problem on pro, while Digital Foundry claims its a solid 30fps.

It's likely that the devs saw your video for the original game and made sure to impress you this time around! What a contrast from the original.
Any chance you guys might be doing performance on PC as well??
So do you HAVE to play this in boost mode on the PS pro to get a locked 30 FPS?
dude the camera angle is amazing tho is what resident evil 1 through code veronica did to give you that perfect horror feel
The Stem engine definately derived from idTech 5.Some of the graphical effect shares similarity with the Rage e3 2007 and e3 2008 trailers, such as the lighting,glow effect etc. Even some shadows looks like have penumbra shadows which looks similar to qc2007 idtech5 presentation.
Started this yesterday and it's excellent so far. I'm surprised how different (for the better) it is.
I have a pro/x1s/gtx1070 and am getting the x(trade in x1s of course) wondering if i should buy it for xb1s and wait for the x to come out or buy it for pc or the pro? Any suggestion?
i bought the first one on a steam sale. havent played it yet. is it worth it? good game ?
can you do a video on the PC version too??? would be interesting to see how it runs before i grab it at Xmas...
John's technical analysis for games is better than most of the other presenters in that he comments on the practicality of the frame drops and includes comments on the gameplay as well.
Ugh, based off the gameplay (like getting a single headshot for an insta-kill) and changes he mentioned, this looks like The Evil Within: Easy Mode. Even the narrow(ish) FoV looks easy to compensate for if you sprint or have a higher camera sensitivity. Let's just hope it's still at least challenging and hopefully items will still feel important.
Since the theme of the first was fire and that stemed from the tragedies of Ruvik and his sister so I believed that played into the lighting enemy on fire mechanic in the first one.
I was really glad to see dynamics shadows
Love the Silent Hill feel to this game. Makes me crave an actual good new Silent Hill game. Too bad we won’t get it because... well, that can of worms was opened a long time ago and I could care less about what Konami’s doing now.
How about an Analysis Video on Resident Evil: Revelations that recently got released on Xbox One/PlayStation 4?
The black bars option is available when you beaten the game for the first time

No. Both engines are based on 5th version. Thats why for example The Evil Within 2 took like less than 3 years to make. Also both games are using IdTech 5 file structure.
Wrong the cover does have PS4 Pro Enhanced logo and both Bethesda and Sony announced PS4 Pro support.
There is a field of view slider on PC but if you set it to 90 it feels like some RPG game, default is 65 and I set it to 75 which gives the claustrophobic feel of a horror game with good view.
I almost forgot that ps4 pro support is not mandatory. There has to be a patch coming though, there is no real reason why they wouldn't bump up some settings. The fact it was not ready at release, must mean they are probably doing something more significant with it
@DigitalFoundry Yes the game will be enhanced for XBox One X (at least that's what's written on the official Microsoft Website).
Why is the intro 60fps then suddenly it's 30 for?
So you haven't compared PS4s on GranTursimo Sport yet?
Wasn't the Void Engine based on id tech 5, though?
Hi, can you guys do an analysis of Gundam Versus for ps4? Thank you.
They mention field of view here , but not for SW:BattleFront 2 .... I wonder if they would bring it up if they brought digital foundry to their studio and pampered them
I played the evil within with a GTX 660 1080p high preset 60 fps. I don't seem to understand the issue with the game because it ran so smooth on my pc. Originally it was locked at 30 fps and ultrawide 21:9, but I could easily modify it to 60 fps. I kept the 21:9 aspect ratio since I found it neat. I loved the first game never had any issues with it beside the difficulty. Never crashed, never stuttered I thought this game was well optimized. My video card was midrange when this game came out.
what specs for pc to play on 1080p60?
Anybody know whats the name of the piano piece at the beginning of this video?

Wow, i had no clue the first one was so unstable! If i picked it up on PC now, would it run relatively fine? I'd like to think i have plenty of CPU and GPU overhead for 1080p/60fps.

this game hs one of the most natural and smart dialgoues i ever saw in a game ... wow !
i wished they had stuck with the color palette from the first game. the unique bluish deep desatured colors made it unique. the second one is great also but feels generic. but cant deny the surface texture is amazing especially in the reflections
What about if Supersampling in on Pro. Is there frame rate drops?
A playable game, what a gift -_- . Thanks game developers, u r so kind to us!
it has a ps4pro support with new patch,can u look on it?
It's already been confirmed that it will have One X support.
Digital foundry is on fire
Technically (and performance-wise) it really is a huge step up compared to its predecessor; I can only speak about the PC-Version, but as it seems at least the PS4-Versions run very well, too. The only problem I had on the PC was some kind of wirefame-line on certain objects; but that was fixed by simply forcing 16x Anisotropic-Filtering via the driver-panel. The Field of View is really low without changes, on the PC it goes as low as 45; I don´t know what number would be equal to the console-version. But at least on the PC I can widen the FOV up to 90; which is far more enjoyable to play (at least for me). Now the only criticism I have is the pop-in; you can even see it in the video at various points. I know this is the PS4-Version, but it´s not much better on the PC.
There seems to be a misconception that in The Evil Within you had to burn downed enemies. You didn't. There was no REmake crimson head system in place whatsoever. However, the enemies were all highly flammable and most would die instantly if they came into contact with anything you just set ablaze. Used cleverly, it was a good way to almost effortlessly take out multiple enemies and save ammo.
You should take a closer look at the Steam Version. Right now many people struggle to play at a stable 60fps, no matter the ingame settings. And many GPUs don't go above 80% utilization. So there are definitely major performance issues at the moment.
Awesome game. .already Put 3 hours into it in one sitting. Really addicting roaming the City and going back to savehaven
look's very slick!
How many games have used ‘Clair de Lune’ in the soundtrack, or advert I wonder...?

This, lots of this ^
The lack of Pro support is odd, specially as the Xbox site does list this as Xbox One X enhanced, (but no detail is provided beyond that.) so maybe it will drop at the same time? Then again Doom is also listed as getting a patch on One X but there has not been any word on the Pro getting a patch.
com'on guys we need to see more benchmark's of the 8th gen processors especially the new six cores i5 against the older i7's like the devil's canyon if it is worth the upgrade
Uncle DF can you please do a comparion video on Dragon's Dogma Dark arisen for current gen console vs last gen and PC ?
It supports it now. Would like to see this revisited.
Very good to hear! Framerate and performance was my main concern after the disaster of TEW1 on ps4... I ended up getting it on 360 where it didn't have any issues.
kidman is a lot sexier this time..
Nice video.The game is crazy :) Xixi how he drinks nice hot coffee after all mess outside :D
why they are still using the id tech 5?
I tried the demo on my PS4 Slim, at some moments the game had some pretty bad frame drops, I'm not sure if I should buy it.
Honestly, if I would’ve heard here that the pro had some visual enhancements I would’ve purchased tonight.
I hope they'll come out with an update that allows 60 fps on the PS4. Resident Evil 7 was able to pull it off.
runs great on Ultra on a Zotac 1060 GTX at 1080p ^^
I must say it looks great on the Xbox one X. Some frame rate issues here and there but still happy with it. Hope they follow up on this test
Playing this on PS5 with unlocked frames patch and it feels like a flawless 60fps
I want more audio options for my home theater!! Give me 7.1 support or Dolby Atmos.. Boost mode is always enabled on my ps4.
It does have Xbox one x support go to Microsoft store and it says it plain as day
Idk why but it looked like the main character’s outfit resembled Nathan’s from Uncharted 4
6:22 i beat this game 2~3 times and never knew this enemy could be hit like that
anyone else having audio problems or lag on sound i have on my ps4 version anyone help??
holy shit! it manage to reach 30fps! good job my man
sometime the fps drop on my ps 4 fix it pls
Can you do a PC analysis please. Beside constant 60FPS, it ooks like the game is full of frame pacing issues
The lack of pro support is most likely due to the engine not being able to support dual gpu's, they really need to fix this because they will miss out on sales.
lel I disabled the motion blur.
The game runs like a dream on pc. With a Gtx1070, i7 7700k, and 16gb ram it runs flawlessly (or near flawlessly, didn't use tools to measure the framerate) at 1440p on the highest settings. Hilariously I can't even run the first game smoothly with this same setup. The 60fps mode (which was added in with a patch) exhibits noticable framepacing issues, that may never be resolved. Real shame. But at least this sequel sets things right. And it's an awesome game too! :D
when are you gonna compare this with pc version?
Can someone explain to me how the ps4 is capable of running bf1 and bf5 at 45-60fps but cant run this game any higher than 30?
Never played the first game, but I might watch a summary of the first one because this looks much better.
wow well done you did your job right this time only took you 3 years
it's fine on PC,not so demanding and u still have the options to tweak to get a stable solid FPS,overall it's light years ahead of the first one,it was literally shit,i like how New Bethesda games are,they look good and they play good,Prey is a great Example also the upcoming Wolfenstein is going to be great,they said that it has some crazy features on PC.
