So they had more than enough time allocated to Series S optimization and chose to sit on their hands instead of working? Because deciding to allocate less resources to S optimization would be a business decision, not laziness.
There are other differences I saw from the video, but it's hard to tell how many there are because there isn't as much Series S footage. But in the stage with the cherry blossoms, the last gen versions have static petals on the ground, while PS5 and Series consoles have petals as physics objects that react to player movement and specials.
Are you calling them lazy?
I do think there is a lack of motivation for high quality ports to Series S. I think if you look at the install base for Series consoles and the S/X split, compared to PS5, it's clear we are going to have a generation where PS5 is going to have a generation where PS5 is going to be the lead platform for most titles. I also think there is a precedent set by last generation's One S (and VCR) having games with absolutely poor performance and/or image quality, but I don't think there is any widespread evidence that those poor ports affected sales on Xbox platforms compared to games with better ports.
I think the logic is, if your the kind of person who is in such a situation that the series S is more appealing for you over the X, your not that interested in agonizing over having the best fidelity to begin with. So of course they are gonna say they only need it to be good enough and don't have to go the extra mile in a lot of dev scenarios.
Thats a huge misinformation if thats what they were marketing for.
I still think there is a difference between not expecting best fidelity and receiving good quality product tailored to hardware limitations. Not every series S owner is completely ignorant about how games looks and runs. I think the port that S owners got is below expectations.
I repeat - anybody who trots out this accusation shows they have no idea what they're saying.
Really? It's a 'bad port' simply cuz it lacks this one graphics feature that 99% of people probably wont even know was missing unless they saw some side by side comparison? smh
Yet the ps4 pro can run the game at 1440p
You are right , its not lazy devs. It's likely the Playstation marketing deal signed with Sony that has prioritized the ps4/pro over the xbox platforms. It wouldn't be the first time as we can see it happen in a lot of marketing deal games like Harry potter
The only real sticking points for this port are resolution and texture quality, though. People expecting the texture quality to be better than it is, or resolution to be higher than it is, when comparing the Series S to previous generations because of the specs of Series S compared to PS4/Pro, are missing the fact that other quality settings are different between the two versions. DF didn't mention it in their video but the level with the cherry blossoms have interactive cherry blossoms on the Series S version, while they are absent in the PS4/Pro release. The reflections are also realtime SSR, unlike the cube maps on PS4. And the DOF in fighter intros is on in Series S but not PS4. Both Series S and PS4 versions are missing the sweat details on Ryu during the fighter intro, though. These are likely not the only differences and I'm sure each stage is different, but it's hard to tell because there isn't a lot of Series S footage in their performance review. Regardless, anything extra on screen has some performance cost, be it in memory or FLOPs, even if people don't notice them.
Not at the same settings, though.
And who knows what the series s would be able to do since we don't have the option of changing the setting like we do on the ps5 or xbox series.
Conspiracy theories without evidence are the worst ones. There is nothing wrong with how street fighter 6 plays on S and it looks fine. Just because it doesn't meet your arbitrary standard doesn't mean anything.
This is important information that changes a lot. Thanks for pointing that out.
I didn’t said it’s bad port I said it’s below expectations. And while I disagree that there are graphic features that 99% of people wouldn’t notice or don’t care about my point was if this is straight last gen port (which is not, thanks see colon for pointing this out) it would be underwhelming effort on capcom side.
It appears that the publishers intentionally allocate fewer development resources to XSS version dubbed as "GamePass machine."
