Disappointing how there are more issues rather than improvements

[@roberthunka]

Its understandable, devs only had to optimize the game (on ps5) for one specific hardware. It allowed them to develop a good performace game fast. My ps4 pro would run the part2 fairly as good as a high-end pc 'cause of it

[@CURTSNIPER]

when you port a game to PC rather than make it for both PC and console, the highest fidelity is already playable by the majority of people that own the game, vs making graphics options that need practically the next gen of hardware that isnt yet out to tame and run at reasonable framerates

[@mttrashcan-bg1ro]

@@roberthunka Yes this is mostly it, a PS5 has an APU that is essentially a R7 3700X with a RX 6600XT glued to it, though has 16GB Vram not 8gb, but still most of the time now outperforms those components in a PC, often comparable to a 6800XT

[@Nick930]

Iron Galaxy provided consultation and secondary support. From what I've read, Naughty Dog dedicated members of their own team to handle most of the port work here. They probably coordinated with Iron Galaxy who had just come off working on the Uncharted Port last year. Not entirely sure on the full scope of the work either team did though.

[@hisham7169]

Iron Galaxy has made so many good PC ports, I don't think it's their fault that this game port sucked. Add on to the fact that Naughty Dog was more involved with the port than Iron Galaxy themselves. Naughty Dog is just trying to find a scapegoat to blame for their mistakes.

A very detailed comparison.

thanks for the video, hope you share this with ND

[@glitchered]

solid comparison. coulda ran it at high or custom settings tho. the ultra settings reportedly have broken fx here and there. and... sure, the pc version seems to have some issues, but i'm sure they'll be fixed. it looks great, sharper than the ps5. and... ofc the pc has more resources to spare to deliver higher fidelity shadows and farther view distances. misc notes: oodle is not the shader compiler. it's the decompressor. maybe they packaged a version that's a bit slower, in the latest patch. i'm still running the 2.9.5 oodle that fixed the day 1 version and it's decent fast. reportedly loading the compile data faster then the current version. initial level loading times can be decreased the most if you use a gen 4 nvme. test have been done to even unpack the entire game and seen improvements of half the loading times (but breaking the graphics a lil bit), not so much in scene transitions tho. you still gotta load a lot of assets and that takes cpu time, where as on the ps5 it's done without cpu interaction using direct storage, which is yet to be established on pc.

Great review. I've played this on PS3. And wanting to get for PC. Has these issues been fixed yet and have you done an update video. Thanks.

[@thenosid951]

the volumetrics are sharper because of the shadow resolution being higher, the water rippler effect is just faster on pc because it is in slow motion on the PS5 maybe the ripple speed is tied to the framerate. It appear more realistic on the pc version. And the screen space reflexion is set to pbr accumulation on pc, being a better more realistic effect than the screen space reflexion on ps5 being too sharp and unrealistic conpared to the baked reflexion sharpness when you look at the ground.

[@Lasercatss]

Awesome video dude!! Really great breakdown. It’s so weird how, what you would think would be an improvement (pc version) turns out being worse.

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

10:00 The PC version seems to have stronger reverberation in the sound during the shooting. Could just be the capture methods.

[@Nick930]

I don't think it has to do with capture there. I ensured all audio settings were matched up perfectly and have not heard distinct differences with this same capture method in other PS ports from PS5 to PC. But capture method could have influenced the coloration of the image. Had to fiddle with a lot of stuff and re-record because HDR was weirdly enabled by default on my PS5 after an update... screwed up a LOT of footage.

[@PSPbrtag]

Yea it's different and I actually think they've used different files for both versions, it's mixed differently, I don't know why they would do this though.

[@MarshallHurtado]

Could be uncompressed audio!

[@PSPbrtag]

@@MarshallHurtado Perhaps, there seems to be quite a lot more high end on the PC so it definetly could be a matter of files being compressed a bit too much on the consoles. Could also just be something up in the way it was recorded by Nick tho.

[@ark66]

Ofc but comes at heavy pricing )))

[@wolfstorm5394]

So all in all they're both the same in terms of quality, give or take a few things here and there, but in order to somewhat get the same experience on a PC this game casually eats over 20GB of RAM, up to 16GB VRAM, brutalizes mid to high end CPU's that are leagues ahead of the PS5 CPU, are you kidding me? it's no joke when they say this might singlehandedly be the worst PC port to ever come out

[@khalidwasi3505]

Yeah that's right. Textures even on low take upto 5gb vram and looks like ps2. But this is the case of almost every new AAA games that are releasing now. Really very disappointing

[@padmakarkottuvada3612]

Great Work, Nick.

[@RooneyTodd]

the first difference is that Joel cries for his daughter... on pc you will cry for your PC (while your PC is crying)....

[@michealwj]

Is the water ripple effect speed possibly tied to in game framerate?

[@madmaskcena]

For song part, did you used Dolby access ?

[@Cooperal]

The sooner ray tracing becomes a universal option the better. Just got another new PC but it persists that screen space reflections is often the culprit for making otherwise great graphics look like a buggy mess despite doing what it was made to do. As for the difference in water ripple effects, it's a shame but not a big deal. The PS5 footage of the water ripples I think also look unrealistically slow. It looks like another one of those cases where an animation plays out across the same number of frames no matter your frames per second. So doubling your framerate would effectively halve the time and possibly halve their actual physics. In addition to moving much faster, the visible depth in the ripples also appear to be fractionalised. What they would want is what is called frame interpolation, where new animation frames are inserted to maintain consistency across variable framerates.

[@remij_9487]

About the controller dead zone issue.. did you disable Steam Input? It's likely that which is messing with your controls. I have mine off and there's no dead zone issue.

[@Nick930]

I can confirm that I disabled steam input just like the game asks right at the start. But this issue still persists.

[@PonTran194]

If you have the 4K TV support 120Hz, you can play 4K unlock fps (with around 40fps most of the time) on PS5, which is better than lock 30fps on normal 4K TV.

[@MichaelsExplorations]

Love my Samsung 4k tv with my ps5

[@Bunta1987qwerty]

4:50 the comparison isn’t like for like. Ps5 is using a cube map, not ssr. Look at 5:30, and you’ll see the same reflection on pc. Also, the crepuscular rays looks sharp like that on ultra setting. It’s actually quite expensive to get that definition, but I agree that medium/high looks better, which is how they look on ps5.

[@user-yq5kw2gt8r]

Exactly! On Ps5 it a cubemap. Maybe even with transition to another for best presentation on angle. On pc every puddle has an ssr. Adt it's not so great

[@gabrielmoro3d]

Thanks for making this video!

[@bornwisedistruction]

God of war hid the shader compilation issue during the initial install the game took about a 45 minute pause during set up I think they were cashing the shaders in the background which is better than having to do it everytime you update drivers like in the last of us.

[@tabernaclejones6115]

It works fine for me after updating my nvidia driver to 531.51 or whatever the hot fix was. I had to download it from nvidia site directly. Not through geforce experience. That hot fix plus the 4/7 patch means the game hasn't crashed once since friday, the game was unplayable before due to it crashing every 30 seconds to 5 minutes. Didn't matter if it was at start up or in the middle of a fire fight. I get 60 fps, but turned all the graphics options to ultra/on except environmental textures I set to high. I maintained 60 fps through out, even though I only have a 3060ti and I was over the estimated vram limit. If I set graphics to the recommended high/medium settings I get 120 fps The game is highly cpu bound and regularly gets up to 75% usage on my 5800x. I saw it hit 90% a few times , so if you have anything less than a 8 core ,16 thread cpu like the ps5 has I think ur in trouble Most aaa games sit around 20% on my cpu for reference.

[@facuuaf]

That's the difference between TLOU and other Playstation ports: usually the settings are equivalent to medium on PC and the higher settings improve textures and shadows. Here, the ultra is equivalent to PS5 and anything below is a downgrade all while being insanely demanding.

[@bensmith5288]

Dead Island vs dead island 2 has to be next. It's such an improvement in a lot of ways

[@GalacticAstroparticles]

This PC port's issues and difficulties are really strange, especially when comparing it to the Uncharted Legacy Of Thieves PC version. I just played Uncharted on PC on a 4K TV with Ultra Settings and DLSS at Quality (1080p to 4K) with an RTX 2060 Super, with the only issue being a few rare framedrops in a few sections of the game. My 2060 Super way over-performed on the Uncharted PC release, whereas I don't even dare to try TLOU at its current broken state!

[@drazach_7819]

It's cuz they're just lazy and wanna make quick money.

[@whitehorsemilitia]

Generally consoles load faster because the game's settings are already optimized specifically for the hardware, a PC is subjective from person to person, not everyone who plays on PC has the same as someone else so loading times vary across the different RAM cards, Processors and Graphics Cards, plus the ability to change the game's graphical settings also play a role in loading times. So in short summary, consoles are closed hardware with games released already pre-designed for said hardware, PCs are open hardware where optimization is left to the individual players instead of being chosen for them. I don't deny that consoles have an advantage in consistency in regards to load times and graphics but PC will always grant players freedom of choice and individuality. It ultimately depends on what is best for you, play on console or PC, it's your choice, I personally just go for a game with a good story, doesn't matter how it looks.

Otherwise the game looks amazing and run totally smooth. Just make sure you deactivate V-Sync on your G-Sync Monitor (!) and everything controller related in the menues - otherwise it could be that 100fps feel like 20fps or microstuttering.

It is a bad port. Most people don't have high end PCs like yours to be able to run the game perfectly from day one. The game doesn't even run ok on the recomended sys reqs.

[@randymarsh4748]

bruh said not a bad port at all xDDD this is a ps5 game and u have a 2k$ pc ofc it will run decent

[@nmd113]

@Salt Maker A GOOD port is God of war or Uncharted 4 or Spider man, that runs on my rx 6800 xt / ryzen 5800x3d no problem at 4k 60+ fps, this one is not a good port.

[@nmd113]

@Salt Maker The game uses the same in-house Naughty Dog engine, same as Uncharted, and the system requirements are similar in performance, just different/newer models. This game is simply poorly optimized. I'm not the only one who says this, the video above and many people all over the internet say it too.

[@AlaskanFalcon]

all the ps5s prettyness matters not if it moves like a slideshow. FPS is king

[@MichaelsExplorations]

Can’t wait to play this on my ps5 ❤ and my Samsung 4 k tv

[@Nanioh1]

Ngl miss the old direct comparison intro

[@stuartroweofficial]

Apart from fps issues I’ve had no other issues running this game on pc and I’m on a 2080ti, people that are saying it’s a scam are being idiotic, it’s gonna be patched most likely Friday to run a lot better

[@TheRivianBat]

i hope they fix this master piece

[@phil_matic]

The problem with this port lies within its exclusivity. Because of this, it is made for the PS5 first, and then the PC port comes after. This hinders how beautiful it could've actually been due to hardware limitations of the PS5. If it were to have been developed for the PC first, and then ported to PS5, then we would've seen a bigger increase of quality with the PC version and then the PS5 would look of lesser quality

[@arnoldasm7300]

it wouldnt be this nice looking ;) .. because that means pc version should be made back in 2012 or what year..

[@dbMammie]

The fact that you don't have to choose between 4K or 60fps on PC can't be overstated though.

[@MaggotAddict21]

Now you can choose between 4K 30fps and 1080p 60fpsish (when it's stable)

[@user-yq5kw2gt8r]

Haha good one!

[@randymarsh4748]

what do u mean ofc u can choose

[@dbMammie]

@@MaggotAddict21 I just beat it on 4K ~90fps, but go off

[@MaggotAddict21]

@@dbMammie Nobody cares you have a 4090. You're in the minority. The problems stem beyond that too.

[@Guppy_Awtter]

Updates have fixed this game so much on pc thankfully

[@HiCZoK]

And you need ULTRA to match or almost match ps5... and ultra is only on 4080-4090

[@Nick930]

You need Very High to match PS5 technically. Ultra is a step above the PS5 for textures, but the improvements are fairly negligible.

[@FORRT9513]

The fact that when you tested the pc version didn't crash every 5 seconds was amazing

[@Nick930]

I have a lot of VRAM so maybe thays why

[@FORRT9513]

This was a joke about how much the pc port usually crashes on some systems

[@nick4810]

@@FORRT9513 you didn't need to explain that

[@splinterborn]

Res 4 remake runs fine at high 60 and 1080p. On the same pc last of us runs like dried up gravy.

[@captain_0860]

Ultra settings in this game are bugged and at times can look worse than low

[@Nick930]

That might explain the lightrays. Will take a look at it later

[@NoCluYT]

It's going for like $40 Canadian. Maybe lower in the US

[@Recklessiscrazy]

You should compare dead island 2 and the 2014 gameplay footage

[@DJBV]

The vram requirements are insane

[@bahmannasirifar7145]

Can't wait to play the re-re-re-re-re-remater version of the game on PS8 Pro implanted chip inside my brain.

[@femto5276]

Sony saw what Iron Galaxy did with Batman Arkham Knight and said "This is the team we trust with our blockbuster franchises on PC"

[@user-yq5kw2gt8r]

They did a much better ports too. Uncharted for example. Wanna blame someone, star with playstation quality control team.

[@greengoblinhunter]

my shaders have also never finished after 3 hours of waiting

[@flashedlight5549]

I'll just wait till they optimize it there is no rush

[@Jacob_24]

We are in a time where video games that are developed in PC are not working on PC 😂

[@NoCluYT]

Because most games are developed on consoles as the priority because the market is bigger. Also PCs now have a bigger variety in parts. Before it was just a few companies making parts, now there's like a dozen brands with different stuff. Harder to optimize for so many parts.

[@leviticus6105]

Another poor PC port. Insane the amount of compute power needed to run the game on PC when compared to ps5

[@gamersaketh9389]

hope naughty dog addresses those problems soon!!😄
