With my hands on both this past week for an entire lap, I decided to break down the comparison between the two from the small sample Sony and Microsoft decided to give me. With that, let’s investigate!
Digital Foundry : Whether it's via FPS Boost or bespoke software upgrades, backwards compatibility on the current-gen consoles delivered an unexpected delight - the ability to liberate older console games from their 30fps limits, running them at 60 frames per second or even higher. FPS Boost did the business for Xbox Series consoles on an impressive range of titles, but there was always the sense that PS5 could do more. It's a hunch that checks out as a range of frame-rate unlocks are available for PS5, covering many must-have games - the major caveat being that only exploitable consoles running on older firmwares are invited to the party.
you love to see new life being breathed into older titles but damn the process to get there. It should be automatic that these work for everyone... not just those who exploit their systems. Really wish Sony and MS would keep this program going officially.
Damn this sucks. I want this shit so bad, but I’m not jailbreaking my console. And frankly I shouldn’t have to. I’m not a tech person, but is it really that hard for developers to unlock the framerate? Or would that have to be a large patch?
Yep, this sucks having to require a jailbreak for something that should be standard in our industry by now. I learned my lesson when PS4 was jailbroken and I didn't keep a console on low firmware for years, but now I'm holding onto two low firmware PS5s specifically because there are features I'll be able to do that you can't do on official firmware, so this will pay off for me soon enough.
Driveclub was a headline game at the start of the PS4’s life. A fabulous game – eventually - but what now, with the servers turned off? Is it worth your time? JDR starts its engines in today’s Brutal Backlog.
Bikes expansion might be one of the most underrated games of last gen. Incredible driver and bike animations + DC weather is craze.
Cultured Vultures: We won't stop until everyone appreciates how brilliant Driveclub is/was.
i went to the article and theres only a couple racing games, cant find the button to move page on through all the adverts.
Dirt rally doesn't even make the list? Errm OK then.
Driveclub is over rated as well, with middle of the road handling and the 30fps killed it upon arrival for me.
Abit too early for Versus.
FORZA5 has been in the making for along time. Looks fantastic and smooth. I want to see a new damage system, instead of replaced textures. Shame it can't do day/night/weather.
DRIVECLUB although has been at concept level for along time, the team has built the engine from ground up. Showing an unfinished track with the game being only 35% complete.
Looking foward to seeing what the finished games look like.
Forza 5 looks better but the demo was running on better hardware than the XB1's will have.
first website that say drive club is better then forza 5
Coming from a die hard Playstation fan, Forza 5 looks completely bad ass!! Evolution had better get their crap together quick if they want to make Sony's launch date!
I still say Polyphony should have developed GT6 for the launch of the PS4.
What i dont get is that he says forza looks better yet he only got to play drive club, how does that work?, from gameplay vids they look very similar cant actually tell the diffrence, sad that im gonna miss forza as ive owned every single one but i own the games i buy micro not just the licence, change the second hand game polices or no buy.
