Yoshida's a sellout too.

PlayStation corporate staff comes off as fake and artificial. Totally unlike the modest Phil Spencer

I said god DAMN.

Really want Yoshida to visit Mexico on his Steam Deck now

Pretty huge cutbacks in performance mode on Series X.

Quality

On one hand, they're pretty notable. On the other, you'll hardly be able to see any of it while driving. The lower LoD is the only issue that may be easy to spot in Performance mode.

3070 is comfortably above 60fps at 4K, Ultra preset. ~70-90fps. Bodes well for ultrawide resolutions.

Man the PC version will be insane!

My laptop will murder my series S in this one it looks like. Unfortunately I was planning to and even preloaded it on my series S. Oh well.

Series X as well.

Pasha must have a pretty damn good laptop if it can do better than ~4K/60 at normal/high or 4K/30 at "Extreme" equivalent settings, higher than the Ultra pre-set seen above.

Looks like this won't be eligible for TGA:

Gonna have to wait for Alex's in depth analysis first to see what are the PC equivalent settings in Quality mode. "Extreme" preset has always been applicable to a few settings in FH, not every available setting in the menu.

A 30-series laptop can handle console equivalent settings here easily.

 

[CerebralTiger]

Series X as well.

Yeahhhh nope. The laptop version of the 3060 (unless it's the 3060 TI, maybe) ain't outperforming a Series X in a rasterization-only scenario. Itna bhi ooncha na urdo

PC version is series X quality mode on indefinite FPS I just played first 40 mins of it on series X performance mode and I would say it looks better than FH4 but not another level great maybe that's where quality mode comes in. The cars feel responsive as ever so there's that to enjoy and I can't wait to get my hands on a convertible.

I didn't get the Lamborghini for playing FH3 I played it exclusively on PC but it was the same account I don't know what's up with that got the Sienna though.

 

[UzairAhmed]

I do believe that full ray tracing for capable PC graphs card should've been in the cards as well not just for photo or Forza vista to really take it to another level of photorealism. I am happy with what a 500$ machine is able to give us and I can happily spend a 500$ more on a pro version 2-3 years down the line for quality mode @60 FPS no matter which platform you have series X,S or PC just enjoy the game and upgrade whenever you can

LMAO @ "unless it's the 3060 TI, maybe"

A desktop 2070 Super can do 4K 30-40fps at Extreme settings. Laptop 3060 is comparable to that

The PS5 gpu is comparable to a 2070S in rasterization-only performance (even with less taxing RT in some cases), the Series X gpu is more powerful than the PS5 gpu. Both offer better performance than a laptop 3060

Something is wrong with the Series X version if it performs worse than a laptop 3060

 

[Necrokiller]

Something is very wrong with the Series X version if it performs worse than a laptop 3060

Well it is targeting a resolution in both modes that is popularly labelled as a "waste of resources", so

Wouldn't you call a 1440p60 (or 40fps if you fancy that lol) with better than "Performance" mode graphics settings a better experience? Not sure why anyone would want to lock it to 30fps in the first place unless you are playing on very old hardware that doesn't meet the recommended specs

 

[CerebralTiger]

That's just one of the benefits of playing on PC. You tweak the graphics/performance to your liking rather than using whatever the dev sees fit

But where there are benefits, there are also drawbacks*

*see the Call of Duty thread for more info

PC gaming is only feasible on gaming laptops these days considering the prices of GPUs where 700$ card is selling for 2000$+ it will be a year or two before things get back at MSRP or not so use whatever you have a 3060 laptop or 3090 desktop enjoy the game unlock the cars share the performance tunes.

What I found to be missing was the dual sense like features while driving for instance drive on sand isn't different than driving on road in terms of haptics etcetera. I have turned off the adaptive triggers in both RE Village and Ghost of Tsushima as it would slow down the rate of aim and shooting in a tense combat situation but overall haptics are top notch. Now imagine feeling the tiny rocks, sand, water and a smooth road under your wheels in FH5 that would've been a bliss...we need better haptics in the pro version Phill
