Thank you very much for the video.

Honestly for a game that looks like this I would expect 4K60 locked. Not native 4K even just some upscaling method to get the resolution higher would do the job but stable 60 should be possible considering the power of the current gen consoles.

So they only really made 2 settings and everything else is scaled through resolution. This cuts out massive amounts of testing but it's disappointing for those that aren't on PS5 and X because the 4pro, oneX and series S could probably each look better with tailored settings.

my experience on series X so far in FPS mode has been pretty good, turning on Freesync seemed to help a little. Also, getting a frame drop during a deflect or critical attack animation is not as bad as getting the frame drop right BEFORE i'm supposed to deflect. i have only made it slightly past the first real boss, (General of Man), and i have heard some players say they got crashes and greater performance drops later on in the game.

Turns out the tutorial boss is the hardest boss (atleast till the 4th stage) This is my first souls type game and I have to say, I always thought these games were just rock hard designed for masochists (and some of them are definitely that), but this game has such an interesting combat system that I ended up recommending it to literally everyone of my friends.

Boss in series X making the same special is 44fps while in ps5 is 51fps having more objects on screen. Saying Ps5 is less stable than Series X, watching this scene I mention in your video, makes me think that you lied in your statement.

Thanks for the informative vid. Would love timestamps to make it even better

I wish you'd address issues like pop in which is pretty aggressive - I usually don't mind it but in Wo Long, it's sometimes just comical, with major details like fire or light in some windows popping in and out based on the distance. Also, it's a perfect example why some games should be tested for longer than a few hours each, as in the later parts of the game there are some boss fights that put the framerate well below 50fps and even just looking around at certain spots results in serious hitching and fps drops. In most games I don't care but the combination of Wo Long looking very much old gen and in later parts running like an old gen version of a new gen game even on Series X, it's just bad.

So should i play it on my base ps4?

Great pronunciation of Wo Long. It means crouching dragon btw.

Pretty obvious developers just aren’t bothering to do any work on series s. It’s way more capable than this result

Is it time for next gen yet? 😭

Of course we gamers, as consumers, have the right to demand the best quality of the products we buy. But I also understand that game development is f***ing difficult and, if they can deliver a very good game with okay visuals and performance, I'm good with that. I still have some games on my backlog before Wo Long, but I'm excited to put my hands on it.

Team Ninja used to be GODLY with tech side of their game design. Hard to believe this is the same developer that once gave us Ninja Gaiden Black and Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate. I guess, technically, it's not the same team makeup but...

PC when?

Please tell me they are not using the same engine for Rise of Ronin

This is one of those games where i really need to question why even have 2 really not so different modes at this point. It's like Red Faction Guerrila remarster on Xbox One X where you have 4k\30 option and 1800p\60 (this is not a typo)

Team Ninja has been one of my favourite developers for years but lately their tech hasn’t been keeping up which wasn’t always the case in the past. Oh well the game is fun.

It has glimpses of next-gen with the dense and tessellated geometry and pretty nice materials here and there, but the inconsistent shadow maps and odd bugs are pretty off-putting. Hopefully they'll patch that out soon.

I miss it every time. And it eats away my health.

Developer optimization. Or lack thereof. That’s the biggest problem. Not the hardware. These consoles were the best we were going to get somewhat affordably. Developers have received good hardware. But many of them aren’t leveraging it correctly.

@@lordspalse0062 Dude the CPU blows the old Jaguar out of the water. That is what held the old 8th generation back so badly. The underpowered ultrabook class Jaguar CPU cores. The Pro’s CPU refinement was very minor compared to its GPU enhancement. The GPUs are also a huge upgrade, though. The PS5 is roughly in line with a RTX 2070 Super. A huge upgrade over the PS4 Pro, which is somewhere around a GTX 1650 (maybe even a GTX 1050ti) when playing at 30FPS. Both PS4 Pro and PS5 can punch above their weight class thanks to how optimized console games are compared to their PC equivalents. But the point is that from a hardware standpoint, it’s no contest between the two. It’s developers. Not the hardware. These are the most balanced consoles (PS5 and Series X) developers have ever received in the history of console gaming, with very few obvious bottlenecks. But they have got to optimize them correctly.

Totally disagree. The combat feels like a severly budget and stripped down sekiro. Combat is literally just wait for an attack, press parry on the obvious and easy timing, follow up with Y/Triangle. Rince repeat until the boss is dead within a few minutes. The spells are bad and there's basically no reason to use them, same with the martial arts since parrying and using the finisher does the most dmg and is very easy to pull off. Outside of that the combat feels extremely budget and arcadey, its not smooth or fun at all. Having dodge be the same button as parry is so stupid as well, there's almost no point in dodging in this game so on the odd occasion I use it accidently it's annoying because I could have parried.
