Horizon Forbidden West [PC] vs [PS5] | Direct Comparison

[@Nick930]

Seeing a lot of comments about "frame generation" being on: 1) i ended up turning it on/off several times after recording the settings menu to test it 2) closeup images are captured using photo mode, so even if it was enabled, it wouldnt impact anything. Photo mode wont freeze a generated frame in place with artifacting Frame gen is basically only ever used in this video during those sound comparison sections to demonstrate the smoothness of the gameplay versus the old 30fps fidelity mode on ps5. I'm well aware of the disadvantages of frame gen, but even still - artifacting is not nearly as prevalent as it was when this feature was first introduced

How to enable frame gen in game

[@ddd45125]

Well said my friend

[@malyman316]

Inthe options but you need geforce 4xxx to use it​@@Afroz10x

[@danieleder7510]

Then you might want to increase your sharpening. You set it to 5 on PC, PS5 might just have a higher value for that.

[@jyvids]

There are still issues. Capture card stuff is completely mismatched. Enable HDR in windows. Ensure 10 bit colour caoture. Tone map if appropriate. The colour mapping is all over the place

[@Kdkjdjewerdnxa]

The fact that cross gen games can look this good makes me think that very few ps5 titles actually utilize the hardware adequately. Devs used to need to optimize around hardware limitations but now the solution is FSR and a pro version of a console that’s had very few major exclusives that aren’t also ps4 games

[@supremancy]

I think it is more of the fact that the PS5 is using essentially the same hardware that is used on the PC. Just a much much weaker version so that it can fit in a console and stay within the much smaller power constraints of the PS5

[@Da-iken]

Developers statement is, that the PS5 is not at the limit and PS5 pro is too early. And i also agree. People looking too much to naked hardware specs. But you have to use them. It is a waste of hardware if you jumping on a next more powerful hardware when you not have reached the peak. It also makes optimization worse (also for PC at the end)

[@Frank_Dietrich]

@@supremancy Yes, but even without an operating system that eats up resources and does things in the background.

[@IPaid4WinRAR]

It's also interesting that a lot of the cross gen games that have versions for both PS4 and PS5 (like HFW, GoW Ragnarok, Ghost of Tsushima) run very well. Meanwhile we got recent titles like Dragons Dogma 2 and Rise of the Ronin that can either barely run 30 fps or have to have major drops in resolution for performance mode.

[@ihanak8814]

the crazy thing is that sony first party developers can pull these kind of graphics out of a ps5 just think about the potential of a 4090 if a developer really knew what they were doing.

[@gamingSlasher]

The skin on Aloys close-ups just boggles my mind.

[@Олексій-г1в]

Graphic is good, but game itself not so good. Zero Dawn felt noticeably more... finished? Like if I needed to get somewhere I walked there, it makes for good immersion. But in Forbidden West some of such travels are just cutscenes and lot of events are just hard-scripted, often Aloy just taking in dialogues by herself, game didn't give as much dialogue choices than fist part did. It feels like I not controlling character as much. It breaks immersion a lot. Also key bindings on PC is kinda awfull, double click on any movement key jumps in that direction, tab open map, F opent weapon selector, r use item. After playing fist part this is very, very distracting, and at this moment there is no possibility to change key bindings. Game needs a few patches.

[@hicarodestrui]

Ps: Aaparently Photo Mode is bugged in Alloy's Model. The gameplay itself the model quality are the same as PS5. But once you enter in Photomode in PS5, the model changes to a Cutscene quality version, while in the PC, it still uses the Gameplay quality version. It's a bug in photomode, not a Downgrade, since the cutscenes uses the same high quality cutscene version as in PS5.

[@mooncalf_69]

I played in both PS5 and PC and this is what i think In PS5 you need to play on performance mode otherwise the game is unplayable at 30k and being a game where you need to shoot and aim with less fps is a nightmare and feels cluncky, this said we will discuss only performance mode. The game looks blurry if played on a good monitor or TV and overall the PC versión even on low or medium graphic quality is way better looking than the PS5 version

[@sepplschpeedruns281]

The fact that I can play the game with the same picture quality of ps5 but at 144 fps (1440p display, 4070) is a game changer. I love this game so much!

[@JonathanGodoy-wi7jf]

Y si lo pones en 4k a cuantos frames va?

[@technologicalelite8076]

​@@JonathanGodoy-wi7jfI hope this translates well, when going from 1440p to 4k, the average performance drop is about 26%, despite the resolution increase being about 75%. This is because oh how GPUs render data from game engines, it has to throw away less of it's work putting calculated data and fit ot into pixels. It's a bit more complicated than that, but it can be more efficient. Anywho, 144 fps - 26% = ~ 107fps.

[@ChrisBtw]

Crazy how FW is a cross gen game as well. Just shows that game devs are not using the PS5 hardware to it's maximum potential. It's a bad joke that DD2 runs at 30 FPS on the PS5 and XBSX when 99% of other games run at a smooth 60 on them.

[@doomslayer8985]

main difference between both versions is the resolution and the FPS, but in terms of graphics fidelity (textures, shadows, LoD, etc) are practically near the same even on maxed settings on PC

[@BumbiPuck]

I understand your point of view that the PC version is the superior way of playing the game, better framerate etc. But i think that most people (probably) dont have such a powerful PC, at least now when prices are crazy high for PCs. So i would argue that for some people, the PS5 version would be a fantastic way of playing it :)

I've just noticed your comparison with the PS5 version when it comes to the particles and especially waterfalls. I think it's to do with you disabling motion blur, it's the per-object motion blur that creates that illusion in the waterfalls and other effects. They don't really look any better on the PS5 they're just blurrier in motion which suggests lack of per-object motion blur on the PC. Perhaps you can have another look.

[@Nick930]

That section was initially longer in this video and i cut it short, because i disabled motion blur in BOTH versions of the game. The per object motion blur shouldnt be required to see a waterfall rendered properly. Most PC players on higher framerates want to disable motion blur effects because the higher framerates negate the need for such an effect. I initially wrote/recorded that this lower quality waterfall isnt necessarily a problem with the port, but rather the downside of switching to a higher framerate to render effects intended for 30fps w/ motion blur effects. I will say though that even when enabling the blur effects (because i had the same thought when i first saw this), the waterfall STILL doesnt look as good for some reason. Because of that, i reduced the length of that section of the video and simplified it.

[@ricardofernandes6196]

You need to disable the frame generation, cripples the image@@Nick930

[@eddiepuffy]

@@Nick930 Fair enough and I agree with you. Like I said before to my eye they don't particularly look any better per se on the PS5 (like the number of particles and or meshes look to be the same or of similar quantity in between the versions) just that the PS5 has that stop-motion blur effect applied. So perhaps it's an upscaling thing or the PC version is lacking per-object motion blur all together.

Can you talk about resolutions and framerates when you make direct comparisons? Some game get extra assets when using higher internal resolution, which is interesting to see.

Why would you use frame generation to compare! Every frame you capture has a 50% probability of being a generated frame. Frame gen is useful for something like Alan Wake 2, which in its full version would not even be able to run on a console. Use DLSS quality if setting everything to max reduced your framerate too far. The main advantage of PC of course is that we can see this game at 60fps or more, rather than the choppy 30fps that we saw on PS5. Its a beautiful game, and deserves to be experienced on PC at high framerates and high graphical quality.

Tested with dlaa on / off. Just showing the footage i captured here

How you doing Nick

[@Ngkiii]

The most noticeable is smooth frame rate, other than that is almost identical

[@CRF250R1521]

good to see the game runs fine on an outdated i9

[@Nick930]

An outdated i9? Lol what?

[@CRF250R1521]

core i9 10900kf is outdated, the current 14900k isnt that great either tons of games are still cpu limited@@Nick930

[@CRF250R1521]

obviously its a personal opinion but the 10900k is outdated by todays standards. @@Nick930

[@lostwarhead]

@@Nick930 yeah, in computer years the 10900k is a little old.

this game must play with dual sense controller to experience the immersive haptic feedback and the adaptive triggers when archery.

[@frenchonion4595]

The trigger literally feels like your pulling on a bow string it has this woody feel to it.

"some post processing effects will be disabled to provide cleaner images for comparison" *uses FG and DLAA* I understand the photomode stuff in regards to FG, but at least turn of the AA if you're going for clean comparisons

[@Nick930]

Since when are we turning anti-aliasing off for comparisons lol what?

[@pravnav]

lol tf turn the aa off and it’ll look like a ps3 game

[@ArcticVXR1]

Well yeah... if you have a pc that can churn out DLAA at high fps then your gonna use it lmao. Same with FG, which doesnt do anything visually but produces more fps. Pc version is far superior as always 🤷‍♂

[@romeeaeron]

I was very excited when they finally made it available on PC. With all the beautiful textures of the game at the highest settings, I am now able to run it at 60fps only 😭😭😭

[@jlb4685]

The PC version has to be bugged on the highest texture preset. I'm sure they will fix it by the time i'm finished with the game like most PC ports.

[@pontedaniel6713]

9:19 big difference between this to versions: The movement animation in the jungle, linke the movment of the plants 🌿. Much better on the PS5 than on PC. They have to fix it on PC! 🙏

have PS 5 and gaming PC , PC version is much better to play, smoother experience , and mouse is much better weapon to kill machines then your DualSence ;)

[@SlipknotRevan]

I don't wanna shit on this video because it's good, but I'm getting tired of PC youtubers turning off motion blur in comparisons. Some games really overdo it and I get why someone wants to disable it, but in Horizon it looks great at 60fps even cranked up. If most people use it, and I think we do, I think it should be on in such tests. The PS5 looks better in many instances because the motion gets nicely accentuated by motion blur. Like the water simulation for example.

[@William-Sunderland]

Good video, this game is a masterpiece, hope everyone enjoys it.

[@thefireslayer2011]

I hope they put everything at the same level with future updates. However, I'm still impressed about how well optimized this game is.

[@fortunefiderikumo]

man i wish this game would have had some raytracing, the shadows,global illumination and reflections in this games aren't up to par with the amazing textures and assets, just imagining this game with RTGI like in dying light 2 and the witcher 3 would be breath-taking

[@NatsirtMats0]

Pc version's colors look a bit on the warmer side too.

[@Ravix0fFourHorn]

did you try using the default anti-aliasing instead of DLAA? I know DLAA is supposed to be the ultimae AA solution but for comparison sake you should have used the default since the PS5 cant do DLAA. The loss of detail on PC might be caused by DLAA.

[@btrazzini]

I sold my PS5 Slim and bought a PC Gamer " but I regret it! " On PC Gamer you have a lot of adjustments and controls to manage which takes a lot of time, not to mention that I paid 3x more, the only positive point was playing 4k at 80fps On the console you just have to turn it on and have fun, but at 30fps.

Classic console bullshit. 500$ vs pc (in your case just the graphics alone, which is absolute bullshit) for 3000$. That toy of yours gets destroyed by a 800$ pc, which is just a small price for having a pc and being able to do whatever you want on it and guess what, we have online play and cloud saves for free :D

Is it true the "shadow quality" set to anything other than off causes severe stuttering inside caves or in other words in indoor environments?

Didnt experience anything remotely like that. But it might be an issue with some other configurations if thats being reported as an issue.

hello mate ! great comparison like always , hope to see PC version gets some fixes for the Graphic issues :( should not be like this for a PC game , one question tho can you please tell me what software and with what settings do you use to Record gameplays ? they look SO detailed and clean , what bitrate etc

[@RvkKJ]

I just finished the main story. Started last week when it launched and already have 80 hours on the game. Although I didn’t like certain aspects of the game like dialogue writing, parkour and the collectibles grind, they had improved a lot on many frontiers and it actually felt like a sequel unlike the Spiderman 1.3 named as Spiderman 2. Looked damn good on my 3080. For once PC players got a good port.

[@oBergerr]

This is one of the best looking games i've ever played, for real

[@Ivangmer07]

This game is the reason why you don’t have to use resolution upscaling for consoles! The ps5 version can run the game at native 4k 30 FPS with barely any issues!!! And you’re telling me that in jedi survivor or any other game that uses upscaling can’t do native 4k because it stresses out the consoles?

[@MrSTabNa]

30FPS is a pain man.

[@razielospl]

with Vrr hdmi 2.1 you get 40fps minium. But better unlock fps 1800p and 60+ fps. You don't play 5 cm from TV and looking for hair details :P

[@RicochetForce]

Seriously, 30 fps is just unacceptable for action titles. Playing Zero Dawn at 160fps was a revelation at how response and clean it looked.
