DF Weekly: If Dusky Delusion: Wukong has points on PS5, is a Collection S port viable?

Yet another substantial DF Reveal Weekly arrives this day (successfully, on Saturday if you occur to’re signed up to the DF Supporter Program) and amongst issues as various as the most modern PS5 Genuine rumours and Tom Morgan’s impressions of MGS Delta and the Soundless Hill 2 remake, we beget got our bask in thoughts on the Dusky Delusion: Wukong Xbox drama. Why hasn’t it seemed on Microsoft’s consoles? Is there surely some vogue of PlayStation exclusivity deal? Is Collection S the space? Must we rob developer statements about ongoing optimisation at face cost? And what in regards to the new ‘reminiscence leak’ narrative – can this surely beget set the Xbox model on indefinite defend (spoilers: no).

Recordsdata journalists with real be conscious records beget corroborated the Sony exclusivity angle (and to make certain, we beget heard the the same ourselves from sources with real data of the space) and the fact that Microsoft itself heavily hinted at this sort of deal being in set adds extra weight – all PR statements beget some level of factual vetting sooner than they’re set available. That said, viewers reaction has moderately rightfully pointed out that if there is a PlayStation deal in set, Sony is protecting awfully easy about it. Properly, the fact is that exclusivity offers can rob many shapes and kinds, and function no longer essentially want to consist of marketing.

Even so, there would possibly perhaps possibly additionally successfully be the case that Sport Science did/does require overtime to salvage an Xbox model into form. Abet in June, an announcement said, “We are currently optimising the Xbox Collection X|S model to meet our quality standards, so it would possibly well additionally no longer start simultaneously with the assorted platforms. We apologise for the lengthen and goal to minimise the await Xbox customers. We are in a position to sing the start date as soon because it meets our quality standards.”

There might be positively the sense that Sport Science had some points engaged on its first triple-A console title. For starters, the PlayStation 5 model has technical points and also some heart-broken decisions by methodology of presentation. A 30fps quality mode runs with an unlocked frame-rate, along side pointless judder. An intermediate ‘balance’ mode caps at 45fps, that implies there is rarely any PS5-admire minded imprint on this planet that can give serene, constant performance. And sooner or later, the 60fps performance mode makes consume of FSR 3 frame technology to lengthen frame-rate at the expense of responsiveness and with out complications noticeable artefacts. The possibilities are an Xbox Collection X model would beget turn out to be out powerful the the same, whereas Xbox Collection S would beget been an altogether extra no longer easy prospect.

To salvage an view of what Collection S would possibly perhaps possibly additionally enact, I broke out our Frankenstein’s PC (which positive aspects an right Collection X CPU mixed with a PS5-admire RX 6700 GPU) and ran the Home windows model of Dusky Delusion: Wukong at matched settings. The consequence? Curiously, the PC port runs around six p.c slower when typically the RX 6700 runs 5 p.c or so sooner than the PS5. This gives us some view of the differential between PS5 and identical PC performance. Then I swapped the RX 6700 for the RX 5500 XT. This GPU has the the same reminiscence bandwidth as the Collection S, but two extra compute models. To salvage an identical 4TF, clocks want to reduce to 1420MHz.

My rob on the PS5 model is that Sport Science surely didn’t want to reduce abet too powerful on its visible settings. It’s if truth be told working at high settings at some stage in the board, albeit with texture quality that is surprisingly low – a low/medium hybrid. Take that mentality at some stage in to the RX 5500 XT and there are complications, even at 1080p resolution, upscaled from 720p. Dusky Delusion: Wukong’s visible results and vegetation density can project the PS5 and on Collection S-identical hardware, even a precise 30 frames per 2d is no longer easy to accomplish.

I in the end got some level of stability by conserving the the same
