[@MegaTerryNutkins]

The thing I loved about the original 2010 game (and Hot Pursuit 2 before it) was that they had that Outrun vibe where you're racing cool cars through beautiful landscapes, something missing from a lot of racing games and I'm glad it was mentioned here.

[@zef9151]

Kuru said it correctly. Nowadays racing games are so dead on freeroam that you only get to drive on that one map. Even The Run did it much better on landscape. Not every single thing has to be freeroam but there will be extremely vocal people that demands it

[@thanksbetotap]

I can conclusively agree with others that the Xbox performance issue was fixed-tested it using the LG OLED VRR info box in both Career and Freeplay, at both 60 and 120 Hz output, and with VRR on and off. No matter what the game never drops frame rate now in that coastal region.

[@UncleSev]

These fps drops are even present on the PC. It's a bug that was present in the old version as well. The solution is to uncheck CPU core 0 (Affinity in task manager).

Not necessarily uncheck Core 0, but just mess a bit with Core Affinity in Task Manager.

[@alexperez1519]

Not present on ps5 at all, so is it really a bug? I thinkits more of an asset decompression problem. We been seen lots of this examples when it comes to 3rd party games and XSX having problems with loading assets properly, problems that by the way its ps5 counterparts never manifest. At this point I'm 99% sure it has to do with the velocity architecture, because XSX should have no problem running this game, and even the weaker ps5 has zero problems.

Such a blast and it reminds me of Outrun SP2 on PS3 indeed, which by the way was already running at 1080p back in the day. Other NFS games don't have that simple gameplay where you just grab a car and race at high speed and drift like a maniac through the bends. This Remastered version at 60fps and great AA/AF is amazing and all I want from an arcade racing game. It is in fact so good that cars have gained in handling (low input latency at 60fps) and I'm having no issues easily beating my old PS3 time records. This is my favourite NFS ever for what I value in an arcade racer. No grind, storyline, missions, speedlist, speed points, hiding etc. Simple, to the point. I just want to race at high speed and ideally not in cramped urban areas.

I’m glad they mentioned this here for the series x because the same applies for the ps5. BC games depend a lot on the old code base, which is why ps5 performs worse with division 2 and ghost recon. Nothing to do with the console as we can clearly see on newly developed game: outriders, Valhalla, fenix risings it always performs well. Hitman 3 probably has a code base issue on the ps5 as it looks a lot like a rehash of hitman 1-2, similar assets.

[@jayevans20]

False. The console depending on its design, can make an old or new game look good. See the series X. The games you mentioned either play best on the X or they're matching the PS. The PS is fine but I expect the gap to widening as time progresses.

[@maxminy5634]

@@jayevans20 I don’t agree, but we’ll see. Pretty much every new game has been only a marginal difference when enough development time has gone into it. The BC games like division are based on old code base and engines, so I expect those will be the larger anomalies. I expect the series x to have 15 percent gap in future games, but even that does not seem to be consistent throughout the game. The only exception was hitman 3 so far. Let’s see if it continues.

[@dannonyogurt98]

The back compat on xbox is clearly very accurate. Which is normally awesome but to fix it means they would have to go back to patch the OG version. My guess is they won't bother. Should've just moved SDK. Unlocked frame rate on last gen is not worth it.

It's weird that almost all xbox series x games with 60 fps enable has some spot or place or whatever that makes the frame drop. It's not a big deal but it's interesting at least.

[@samalton5837]

Hints at either a design flaw or a major bottleneck that *maybe* can be fixed over time (if it's a design flaw, they'd need a whole new design/revision to address it). I wouldn't even harp on this if Microsoft themselves didn't do early marketing/messaging on "TEH POWAH!!" and pushing power narrative so much as if they knew for an absolute fact they were more powerful than PS5. Like the old saying goes, "let the games do the talking". Microsoft should remember that for now on.

[@suyashsngh250]

It could just be a Driver/API overhead, or small architecture problem. One thing is clear that it will definitely improve as time goes on...

[@samalton5837]

@@suyashsngh250 Yeah but MS's problem is that a narrative's already formed among a lot of early adopters and core/hardcore gamers (who are vast majority of early adopters) that PS5 performs better in games. Results like these are only reaffirming that. Why should people wait a year (if not longer) for Microsoft's system to live up to its paper specs and perform better in all games, when they can get a PS5, the system that's performing better in 90% of game releases so far, right now? And where the early adopters go, the mainstream and casuals tend to follow. Maybe MS should rethink a few design choices for their next Series models, certainly for 10th-gen.

I don't think that drop on Series X is a bug; the rocks are probably pushing a lot of geometry and Series X has a lower culling and triangle rasterization rate than PS5 (by over a billion, 7.3 gpolys/s vs. 8.9 gpolys/s). That might be impacting the performance because they probably didn't reduce the poly count on them and are still trying to hit performance parity with PS5 (while probably having a slightly higher resolution).

[@supermadkid]

this is an xbox 360 game are you high? forza horizon 4 is 100x more detailed than this yet runs at flawless 4k60. there's probably more polygons in one car in forza than there is in all these rocks combined. xbox has incredible culling capacities and we haven't even touched mesh shaders yet.

@@dexmael2526 The Series S can output 4k to a screen, but as another user said, it plays the base Xbox One version of backwards compatible games, not the One X version. So even though it can output 4k, it is limited to the maximum output of the base Xbox One for games that aren't specifically optimized for it. Microsoft says that native Series S games should target 1440p when the same games on Series X target 4k, but it has the capability to render at 4k for more simple games. I believe that the Series S version of Ori and the Will of the Wisps runs at 4k and Falconeer runs at 1800p, which would look pretty good on a 4k screen. But most AAA titles will probably target 1080p or possibly 1440p on the Series S.
