Digital Foundry vs GTAV on XONE - performance analysis

It's like EG and Sony are suddenly bad friends at the moment. I'm starting to think the conspiracy theorists over there might not be entirely crazy.
I don't think it's matter of conspiracy substain EG has more 'sympathy' toward MS brand. Sorry for the ot.

First mission on PS4(Franklin doing a repo job) exhibited a lot of framerate issues to me, but it could have just been this odd judder that the reviewer mentions in the XB1 version. It's nowhere near as bad as on 360. The thing that bothers me most is pop-in occurring almost immediately in front of me. I saw it mainly on foliage. But I had turned off DoF, so perhaps that contributed.

You can turn off DoF on PS4? I might actually consider double dipping now, I had no intention of doing so before.

Does seem odd that DF post this on release day just for XB1, the conspiracy theorists among us might wonder if they are hoping to try and boost the sales of it for XB1 by releasing this little bit of info early on release day - after all there is precious little other news for GTA5 on XB1.

I think they are not legit. Floor texture is too bad and I remember a very similar pic from a last gen comparison...
Trees look the same, though, and those should be new for this release.

I wouldn't be so sure its not real. We'll find out pretty quickly.

Wouldn't that be the reason they're doing it? PS4 version has had streams for days and there's been zip on the XB1 version. Makes sense to do it

If the XB1 version is the only one they've had for any length of time, its not surprising. We'll see a proper comparison soon enough once they've had time to analyse the PS4 version.
 
Have both versions
cant honestly tell any difference apart from the eyebrows on some of the players looking worse on the ps4 version

i am suprised

Could be BUT it's highly probable xone would have less grass compared the ps4 version, especially because it's 1080p. I'll be surprise to the opposite.

Still an obvious fake comparison. PS4 version is suffering from pop-in issue as well it's not a God-spec machine. The difference between the 2 systems hasn't been huge as Sony fans would've liked.

Still nowhere close to the fake comparison shown. PS4 version is suffering from pop-in issue as well it's not a God-spec machine. The difference between the 2 systems hasn't been huge as Sony fans would've liked either.

Yeah, right.

do I buy on ps4 or xbox one?

The version your friends play at. I love the DS4 functions, like the red and blue flashing LED when youre chased by the cops, touchscreen and speaker integration. But I would go where my friends are.

Theoretical performance doesn't mean jack when we have concrete evidence of real time performance on many cross platform games.

Sony fans are trying way too hard to make it look like PS4 is 2x better than X1 when it really isn't. Making fake comparisons to make that true doesn't really help either. Now that's just sad.

Here is the original source for the foliage comparison:

Doesn't look like it's fake.

Here, have some real time performance.

*Looks at the comment below yours*

I stand corrected. Difference is minuscule.

Holy shit lol...

I read in a different thread that reviewers were able to request what version they wanted, I do not know why so many chose the PS4 version perhaps its due to the PS4 outselling the XB1 so that's where the majority of their readers are, digital foundry being digital foundry simply wanted to know how the XB1 version held up and judging by other threads so does GAF

So you declare a multiplatform game as evidence? We had enough games that show a 40-50% advantage. The benchmark from the GDC is not just theoretical, it's a benchmark.

So you can prove that those multiplatform games you're talking about are 100% optimized for the ps4 to be a concrete evidence of the capabilities of the console? Or is it possible that devs could stop optimizing when they reached their goal and use the time to optimize it for other consoles / pc version?

Yeah too bad that last gen Mafia 2 and Read Dead Redemption got trashed on PS3 for such "minuscule" difference :p

Did it really? I have noticed some performance hits in some games like MW2 but still enjoyed my PS3 when I switched from 360 due to RROD issues.

No way for me find that exact area but I made a clip anyways.

Just some random area I chose to show off the density of foliage. In this particular area, you can see that there are patches where it's empty, but then there are also areas where the grass is thick.

Anyway, examine away!

Yeah looks like the foliage is dialed back quite a bit. (the optimist in me tells me, the placement is different... *cough* *cough*)
Would have preferred 900p and more foliage to be honest.

No idea about Mafia, but RDR had denser foliage, ran better, and was in higher resolution on 360, that's hardly an apt comparison.
