Apples to oranges, but you already knew that. DOTA2 wasn't pushing visual boundaries 10 years ago.

The amount of particle effects and reflections at 60fps, mainly.

Sony confirms the PS5 won’t support SSD storage expansion at launch WWW.THEVERGE.COM Blazing-fast storage but not a lot — and you’ll have to wait to add more.

All PS5 footage.

New trailer Godfall's under the radar, IMO. Minimum specs are low enough to be back ported to X1X/Pro, but it looks like what I'd expect from a genuine next-gen launch game.

Yup.

Could be because of PSVR compatability. It should see a boost on PS5 regardless, since it was dynamic (& reconstructed) 4K60 on the Pro.

EA just updated a list of games getting next-gen upgrades. It's not many. Mainly Apex Legends and SW Squadrons (on the X/S).

Just for once Sony, I'd like 10 seconds of this game without a camera cut.

It really does feel like the embargo ended too soon with the Series S in particular. I get that the target audience is the mainstream, but it seems crazy to review it on the basis of what they have available to test now.

Digital Foundry's review: Xbox Series X review: next generation games machine, continuity console - or both? WWW.EUROGAMER.NET Microsoft's new flagship console has arrived, and Digital Foundry is here with the authoritative verdict on Xbox Series X hardware. If only there was more new software to go with it... A word on what they're covering with games, and Series S. Sounds like the embargo dropping was premature. First time we've heard that Forza Horizon 4 will be 1080p on S.

Here's a comprehensive review of the next-generation Xbox machines, from backwards compatibility to all-new features.

First console vs console comparison?

If your main concern is fidelity, then sure. RTX will punch well above its weight class in relativity, especially early in the gen. I'm a bit more interested in how far the consoles can be pushed, since that could hold back how crazy devs get with RT in general.

That’s very true, but I think we should expect better from AMD’s new upscaling solution than what console developers resort to now. It’s more of a question of how much better, given the hardware and what the algorithm can do.

Absolutely. Why I'd say it matters is the future potential. If Series X is trading blows with a 2060 Super or 2070 in native res with RT, there's real potential for AMD's upscaling solution to have a significant impact on next-gen game development. It's what everyone should want. But if Watch Dogs Legion on XSX already employs the same reconstruction methods as the X1X to get there, we shouldn't expect nearly as large of a gain in the future.

Series S update: Watch Dogs Legion runs at dynamic 1080p, presumably with RT on. The big unknown there is how low night scenes will go.

If this is correct, it puts Series X more in line with a 2060 Super / 2070, sans DLSS. With Digital Foundry's optimized (console-like?) settings and Medium RT, a 2060 Super is solidly above 30fps in night scenes at 1440p. Overall, I think Watch Dogs Legion looks great in what we've seen of Series X. You really don't need ultra RT to get the intended effect. That bodes great for consoles for now in the cross gen, even better for the future with eventual next-gen upscaling, while still painting a realistic picture of the challenges. As opposed to... Best case scenario could be somewhere between a 2070 and 2080 with native resolutions. Worst case scenario ... it's hard to say, but we'd get a clue if Watch Dogs Legion on XSX was found to use the same upscaling algorithm as X1X.
