Can we take a minute to acknowledge Remedy for supplying DF with the PS5's equivalent PC settings. This sort of transparency and community interaction should be industry standard. Well done Remedy 👏
It is not at all optimized for the nextgen when we see these settings! Just look at what a PS5 is worth compared to PC components. PS5 => Ryzen 7 3700X + RTX 2080 SUPER and 16GDDR6 ! Settings equivalent to PC settings should be much higher ! These settings are only representative for this game and only this game.
Still can't believe how they managed to squeeze ray-tracing onto the consoles with this game. That's crazy. Also can't believe you get this game completely free with PS Plus. Now I can finally play it.
Refreshing to read this comment! Countless others believe it’s ray tracing + 60fps or bust but here’s a guy who knows how to be appreciative and realistic!!
@@spenny2cents while I agree with your sentiment that this is a huge accomplishment as is, Spider-Man makes me think some clever workarounds could give us both. RT and 60fps goes such a long way in this type of game.
@@BlueisNotaWarmColour Control is using a much heavier engine than Spider-Man, all of the physics and destructible objects in Control are computationally very expensive on the CPU side.
Lol, unrealistic as hell though. Have you ever seen a chair break a desk like that and not just one but multiple desks. Sorry but that's just weird to witness, physics working on particles, but objects are made of different materials so they don't break the same way and require more pressure to cause breakage. Sure it looks impressive until you realize unless you're shooting a .50 HMG at the room, a hand gun isn't causing this much visual damage effects.
The settings used in the PS5 version compared to the performance is a clear example why a technology like DLSS is really needed in every game both on consoles and PC.
It can't be done on consoles, since they are powered by AMD technology. DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an proprietary image upscaling technology developed by Nvidia and exclusive to Nvidia graphics cards for real-time use in select video games, DLSS uses the power of NVIDIA’s supercomputers to train and improve its AI model. The neural network is trained by Nvidia using "ideal" images of video games of ultra-high resolution on supercomputers and low resolution images of the same games. The result is stored on the video card driver (Game Ready Drivers). It is said that Nvidia uses DGX-1 servers to perform the training of the network.
Absolutely love these breakdowns - excellent work as always! On a funnier note, I had a real double take when you said 'PS4 Professional', can't say I've ever noticed it being referred to as that before.
This game have one of the most boring enemys i have ever faced at shooter games and that did make this game boring when you could not care less about fighting dead boring enemys.
Yup. Good lighting, reflections, skin shading, crisp shadows, volumetrics, and all those rendering effects are nice, but destruction and physics really help ground you into the world you're playing. Even if they forget destruction and just make more objects physically active, it feels more immersive. Something as simple as a tree briefly wobbling violently as a result of a nearby grenade explosion is enough to help pull you into the game world and make it feel like you're in an interactive setting and not just standing in a collection of static geometry and textures.
Play it on pc. Just needs a resolution bump because graphics were honestly amazing and since it ran at 720p on X1 and 1440p on X1X. Must look amazing at native 4K60!
Really cool of them to provide the exact settings. I do kinda wish the checkerboarding raytracing mode would come to PC, though; in general, it would be nice to have more options besides just lowering the resolution or turning up DLSS for reclaiming performance from raytracing on PC hardware, while still getting to see its effects in action.
Thanks Alex. I've started analysing Ray Tracing in real life based on your analysis. I've found some very interesting results. I'm the UK, so on this platform, Clouds are on high settings, vegetation appears to be on medium and the Sun is on very low settings, Reflections off glass is especially impressive. Thanks Alex. I couldn't do it without you!
The texture quality is amazing as well, they're not even compressed and all cutscenes render in engine as well keeping a nice consistent look between levels
Still too long for PS5. Seems like it is going to be a while before games take advantage of PS5 storage architecture and match Spider-Man MM loading which loads into a highly detailed open world from a random save file in 1.5 seconds.
I wish all console next gen games had that graphic sweet spot like spider man remastered on the PS5 where you can do ray tracing at 60fps with performance mode.
Spider -Man remaster for PS5 is a powdering of the old generation games. Only Spiderman Miles Morales is the real next gene. And it is not so rosy there anymore. Only in the quality mode you have RT and 30 fps turned on
They would probably have to hire another member for this as I get the impression that they are always stretched thin. Yours is a good point though, audio is a criminally overlooked area in gaming analysis' (ACG is probably top of the class in this department). Factor in that both the PS5 and Xbox Series have new dedicated audio hardware and the Dual Sense features.....
"Convex dish" Technically concave, but ARE YOU KIDDING ME that the engine knows what to do with a visual abstraction like that? Raytracing is incredible. EDIT: a word
The engine doesn't 'know'. It's pure physics and the way light bounces that causes the 'anomaly', but yeah that's the strength of raytracing. Imagine 20 years from now when ray tracing also does diffraction and the oil effects in this video would actually be the result of raytracing as well.
@@viperhd70 I didn't explain myself well. I know what raytracing is. My point was that the engine is able to so directly integrate those physics calculations that we don't even anticipate. But when they pop up in front of us it's like "Wow, that IS how it works in the real world!"
@@HorseheadNebula85 You should check out the "camera obscura" effect on Minecraft RTX. It just manifested itself based purely on the physics of light, no pre programming. Its very cool.
As long as your surface normals are correct, ray tracing will be physically accurate, you don't have to specify whether a surface is concave or convex.
Alex has referred to the PS4 pro as “professional” multiple times throughout the DF videos. Hard to notice but I’ve definitely heard him say that before
They did a very good job with handling reflections without ray-tracing, good enough that I would take the 60fps over the 30. But really we're all just waiting for a DLSS alternative for AMD, even if they don't have the same acceleration capabilities
@@vollkerball1 I guess so, but it also a case of how much fidelity you'll end up losing, for that small boost. If it's like a 10-20% boost but it's a poor 'blurry' quality is like DLSS 1.0 or checkerboarding, then it really isn't worth it. However, a 10-20% boost with around the same good level of quality of DLSS 2.0, then it probably is worth it. Also, RT performance on the consoles and RDNA2 is really a 2 fold issue: 1) RT on AMD's RDNA2 simply isn't that great. Performance levels when compared to Nvidia's Ampere is around 35-40% less on average and that get's even worse with 'full' RT enabled. 2) There's no additional AI cores on the RDNA2 GPU's to be capable of pulling off something like DLSS, in order to mitigate the loss you are getting from using RT.
@@fafski1199 NVIDIA chose to use tensor cores for the upscaling but that doesn't mean that's the only way you can do it. AMD's implementation can be as good without using those cores but some other way. Not an AMD fanboy, I actually have an RTX 2060, but I just wanted to emphasize that there are multiple ways to achieve a result..
@@ioannispoulakas8730 All other ways will use up processing power, either from the CPU or GPU. Either way you are taking up processing power, that could simply be used to boost performance anyway. It's counter-active, taking away performance to try and boost up performance. It also takes up far more 'normal' cores to process, than it does using AI cores that are dedicated and built around doing the necessary AI algorithms. You simply won't get anything close to DLSS on AMD GPU's, until AMD also include some dedicated AI cores for the task, on the GPU. This probably will be the case with the RDNA3 GPU's (2022) and it's rumoured MCM design. Either way you won't see it for a while, especially on console (mid-gen refresh consoles, then maybe)
Yeah along with Destruction AllStars, overall a pretty solid month. I hope Destruction AllStars doesn't suck lol, they did barely any marketing for that game and pulled it from being a £70/$70 launch title to it being free on PS+ 2 months later lol. My only worry now is if they just cram it full of microtransactions to recoup the game sale loss.
If you don't yet have a PS5, but are a PS+ subscriber, you can still add the game to your collection via a browser. If you get a PS5 later and are still subscribed, you'll be able to play the game.
Hell yeah, absolutely loved this on the Pro. I got the plat and can’t wait for the 5!! Once again, fantastic work. I love watching all of you gals/guys videos. Thank you!
Started playing on PS5 as it’s available on PS Plus this February and it’s such an excellent game. I’ve been playing in the Graphics mode for now until I finish the main story missions, then i’ll do all the side activities in Performance mode when I’ve already seen all the areas in the Ray Tracing mode. It looks brilliant in either setting, really enjoying this game.
@@starboy6226 Would’ve been nice if there was at least a cheaper upgrade path for existing owners. Full repurchase, is a bit rough - especially when some games got similar upgrades completely free
I had a good time with it on the One X; only noticeable issue was the momentary hitching after pausing or going to menus. Looking forward to another go on PS5.
At the risk of dating my gaming life - the destruction in this game reminds of the first time I saw games like FEAR and cryterions BLACK back in the day.
@@rahulpandey9472 sorry if insomniac can implement for miles morales in short turnaround and that is open world game..... remedy should be able to do it too @ 1080p 60fps in a linear game
I don’t think we will see Raytracing 60Fps for another console generation. Hell even on PC Raytracing in Newer games is making These 3000 series cards look underpowered. In my opinion as cool as Raytracing is. It’s not as much of a game changer as they talk it up to be. It more or less distracts me from playing a game. Cause you wanna stop and look at every detail. In the thick of Combat sometimes it tough to tell what Is raytraced and what isn’t.
@@zahidrehman528 Not same engine, not the same studio. There could be a lot more things going on in the background that's preventing it from reaching 60 fps.
It's amazing just how many compromises they have to make to even reach 30FPS with raytracing, it really drives home how RT is in its very early stages of development and how current hardware is still simply not enough for it.
@@likemy With DLSS****** Turn off DLSS on pretty much any RayTracing enabled game and you'll struggle to hit 60fps. The compromise is still evident, even with Nvidia cards. Hell, run Control at 4k (1440p with DLSS, the same res as consoles) and RTX on an RTX 2080 Super and you'll be getting 30 ish FPS still.
@@riveraluciano why are you bringing up cost? you're asserting that current hardware cannot handle raytracing which is simply untrue. There are two generations of GPUs which can handle raytracing--albeit one more comfortably than the other. 2xxx cards do need dlss to help. Also, strange to say that a 3080 costs as much as two consoles. You're not finding either at MSRP anywhere--may as well compare like to like.
An idea for a video series: How about you start "how it evolved" series, comparing the last entry in a game series to the latest one (let's say quantum break and control) technically of course or comparing games graphical features to another (RDR2 to Cyberpunk...) Like that the viewer will appreciate the game and the effort the developer put to revolutionize the next entry
@@spapbp Yes, I know him. What I wanted to say is to compare the games the "Digital Foundry way", Deep dive in technical matters, like how the developer achieved what they achieved(in engine technical matters, and developers interviews if possible), what new techniques they used that they didn't use before, is it good or bad... And the like. They can go many different ways compared to nick930 and still produce an amazing content!
Downloaded it today and playing on graphics mode at the minute, looks good to me for a console, only got to the first boss at the minute, will try 60 fps mode out, may prefer that over reflections in windows, they do look good though!
If you a console player, yes you are right, but this is because they are not powerful enough despite the overhype in the media. If you need better performance the solution is only one...
The game's all about the action, quick reflexes shredding enemies. Unless you plan on examining your reflection in the windows or looking at coffee mugs to see how they reflect the countertop take the performance. Or just start the game in ray traced mode, get it out of your system and than play it properly.
I played Control last year when it was available on PS Now and wow! One of my favorite games of last gen. The design of the environment is one of the best in gaming, period. The art direction is simply incredible. The action is so fast paced but the dimly lit offices filled with typewriters and paperwork adds such a creepy horror feeling. It's surreal. Love it!
Did you play it on a PS4 pro? I tried playing it on base PS4 and the sluggish frame rates, long load times and crashes here and there made me stop. But I really enjoyed what I played. Really looking forward to playing this on the PS5.
@@dandan3045 yeah I played it on a Pro. For 1080p, the game was still impressive! Everything exploding and hiss clouds bursting... so cool. Definitely remember those hiccups and load times though. I cannot wait to see those PS5 ray traced reflections!
Really wish we could get 60fps with RT on the PS5. This is nice though. Had no idea everything was destructible. I love that stuff! Free on PS Plus too.
Well, I can tell you right now that playing at 60 FPS is pretty nice. I'm trying to think back to how it looked on my One X and there's not a whole lot that's obvious, beyond ray tracing.
It's a pretty obvious difference. Ray tracing change the look of the entire game along with higher resolutions. Idk why didn't talk about the series x version here.
@@SynthMusicWorld I thought it looked pretty good on the X1X, as I own the disc, and wanted to continue my save from last gen. I see the PS4/PS5 enhanced copy is the PS Plus free game of the month.
@@hiawa23 hope so! Runs butter smooth. Hope they add this version to gamepass. Was kinda frustrated that they added the non updated version like a few weeks before this launched. It was orhinally supposed to be the special edition but it got delayed. Did you check out that new series exclusive?? Good God that game is gorgeous. And just brilliant honestly. Has its issues but games trying something new always do. Nice to see the variety this time around for xbox.
@Sam Houser That's Why Actually PS4pro Never Used Native Resolution Over 1080p In Whole generations Relied on Checkerboard ,Upscaling and Dynamic resolution on majority of the games
No matter how much praise RT reflections get, once you are actually playing, not static, contemplating, all those little details highlighted by RT get ignored. The 30 fps, meanwhile, you notice them every single moment.
It’s really impressive considering it still is a ps4 game with some tweaks and enhancements running on new hardware. I’d really like to see a ps5 game built from the ground up that really pushes it to the max.
Just played it for the first time today on my ps5 today. Uploading some gameplay. It’s up their on ghost of Tsushima level graphics wise. 60fps looks really clean and the modern esthetic gives it a really clean look. Lots of aa and the checkerboard pops out at times. But interesting game, still have no idea what’s going on after 30min
@@conciise136 waiting for a sale on that one as I’m not to fond of the gameplay from the PS3 version I own but I’d be willing to give it another chance on the ps5
@@jonnyfive5000 Well actually, it's more like 5 years or so. But you will certainly see games that push it HARD in the meantime. Same as with any other generation.
We thought Control was a next-gen game when in fact it is a next next-gen game, perhaps PS6 will be able to run it on high settings at 60 FPS with ray-tracing at 4K.
@@outdatedTV They are not cheaper compared to the PC. Just like PC market prices that has gone way up because of the pandemic consoles are expensive too. No you can't buy a PS5 for $500 if you want one you will have to pay around $1300. But when finally everything goes back to normal and you could buy a $500 console then imagine what will happen then to the PC market when Nvidia and AMD and Intel latest hardwares come to the market and the prices of the previous hardwares will drop like a free fall. But consoles will stay at $500 for much longer time.
@@thanos2420 I bought it for $500 not to long ago. I work at a gaming pc department. None of the pcs I build are under $1500 for what the ps5 is pushing. Ps5 is a better value for the power it has. Plus the custom ssd you can't get on the market. Console is looking pretty nice.
@@Oceanandskylinevidss if the PC market was stable right now. RTX 3070 is $500 MSRP and its 2080Ti level of rasterization and far superior RT than what a PS5 or Series X has. R7 3700X which is basically the CPU in these consoles was $250 Mobo with gen 4 PCIE features $180 32 GB of RAM $200 SSD that has a few hundred GB more usable storage $200 and you have $170 dollars for case and psu $1500 for a PC that is better than a PS5 in nearly every department besides Sony's proprietary tech SSD which as we see from loading times and gameplay makes no difference vs the Xbox consoles. Remeber this game is playing on pc medium mostly low and RT and lods turned further down than PC can. while the pc I showed is a 1440p60fps high settings RT game Remember DF puts the PS5 gpu using RT around the RTX2060 the weakest RT card around and Rasterization around a 2070 Super -2080. So you could drop $150 off the graphics card and still get a better experience. Remember this
Looks pretty good for the hardware they are working with. My only complaint would be that due to the AA being so low, there are a lot of artifacts and flickering due to it.
This game looks incredible. Can’t wait to get my hands on it and play it on the performance mode. The game seems pretty demanding but it would’ve been awesome to see some type of Performance RT mode. Would be amazing to see that in a future update like Spiderman did.
@@user-ye7lp9lg1c Hella strong hardware for $500. I play almost exclusively on PC and am happy to tip my hat to the new consoles. Also, Spiderman: Miles Morales has a perf rt mode.
Maybe if they target 1080p and/or with aggressive resolution scaling. Idk the specifics of rt in the RDNA architecture powering the PS5's graphics. For example, if lowering resolution would make room in the render budget for higher rt settings. Instead of only using low/med rt at 1440p fixed there could be a possible medium (with maybe a few high) rt settings aiming for 1080p with some dynamic res scaling or checkerboarding involved. Basically, a better rt presentation at cost of resolution. ...Or, as you pointed out with SMMM there could be a pairing back of rt and resolution for 60fps. The only thing is that the rt settings are already low. Maybe halving the resolution of rt reflections (similar to SMMM)?🤷♂️
Brilliant analysis as usual, Alex. Thoroughly enjoyed this. I've only played the original on Series X and I did notice some texture loading issues, such as the clocks in the motel. Interesting that you're not seeing it on the PS5 version. Will look forward to Tom's video on the latest versions on Series X 👍
@@GamesDamesFlames yah same here. With most next gen or big triple A titles being delayed right now I feel like any game that is remotely big coming out right now will get played by a lot of people. I mean the Medium on Series X is an indie game really and it was treated like a triple A title. Jedi Fallen Order is back at full price on the PS Store and many played that with it’s update recently. It’s def a good time for any dev company to release a next gen update for a last gen game or to come out with a new title. It will get a ton of press and play. Control is a 2 year old game and people are treating it like it’s a next gen release title. I’ve been looking forward to the game for months now and will def play it tomorrow. I had never even heard of it before the update was announced.
I hope those frame rate drops I saw don't occur very much. I am very glad the developers offered a performance mode but it really should mean that it DOES NOT drop below 60 - the idea is drop the visuals BEFORE the frame rate drops
yeah im king of disappointed that the game is not fully utilizing the PS5 hardware, ray tracing aside, the performance mode should run at a higher settings and maintain 60fps every where, it seems to me its not well optimized, we should wait for future patches and see
Even ps4 pro and xbox one x is using pc settings med low and high.. While ps5 is using pc exclusive settings.. In previous generation if you watch digital foundry ps4pro and xbox one x is using mix pc settings, low mid high and ultra in some area and some hidden optimization that are not visible to the eyes .. It is not surprising because almost all games are.made.for console and what we get on pc is the port version coming from console more on ps4 side...triple a developers don't make anymore games on pc, but i don't mind port version... Most of the true pc made game are isometric rpg games and strategy games
Next gen consoles already lagging behind year old PCs does not bode well for them. It used to be that consoles used specific hardware to overcome and out-perform conventional PCs (see: N64, dreamcast), but now it seems that design decisions favor commodity hardware and need to be made years in advance, placing them at such an inherit disadvantage. Because of this, we are already needing to sacrifice 50% framerate for basic RT features on these consoles.
The game just isn’t optimized well for AMD cards. For something complex like control, this game needs the Geometry Engine usage on PS5 and AI Upscaling/Super Resolution on XSX (when the feature is ready) This game is optimized for several high performance cards (mainly Nvidia’s, but next gen consoles aren’t being completely utilized yet by far) This game is not at all an indicator of next gen console potential looks like.
Nobody wants to develop for another Cell though. That's shooting _everyone_ in the foot. Multiplatform games make more money, and PS3 games especially would need significant investment. Many of those games are locked possibly forever in that generation of hardware instead of being able to be sold digitally for years and years and years.
It "looks" amazing, but I think for this game it's more important how it "feels", and I will stick with the 60 fps mode for that. It still looks great, you just lose the reflections, but it's not like you are paying attention to them during combat anyway.
@@write2nick I think it's one of the best games of the last generation. I'm very happy for it to be getting the next gen upgrade. If you think the game is crap, not sure why you're watching this video in the first place, much less commenting on multiple threads about how you think it's "crap like Xbox exclusives"
I feel the same way. PS5 and Series X are really missing that next gen feel. Most games run at 1440p on my PS4 Pro, and the absence here of RT shadows and bounce lighting just leaves the visuals looking incomplete.
I believe that RDNA2 just doesn't have the same kind of AI oomph in the hardware as the RTX cards, so I'm worried that AMD's DLSS competitor is gonna dissapoint. At the very least tho, I wish devs would make use of the reconstruction techniques that are already possible. Temporal Injection in Spider-Man is awesome. If you didn't tell me that God of War was checkerboard 4K, I probably couldn't tell. With existing tech today you can improve image quality a lot with minimal performance cost.
@@nighttimestalker but as the guy above said these new consoles lack the AI oomph compared to the rtx cards, the series x for example has about 50% machine learning performance of an rtx2060.
Digital Foundry simply is a cut above the rest. I've already played this game and loved it but I appreciate Alex going out of the way to blur the mission objectives in the upper right so it doesn't spoil newcomers ☺
I'd be really interested in a breakdown of what the series X version will be able to do. Ray tracing is massively benefitted by having more compute units. We know this from pc GPUs. It'll be interesting to see how much further the series X can go if remedy has really optimised for the newest Xbox GDK.
Gut feeling... Xbox will get a ps5 port and not use the extra CUs but rather run on the same amount as ps5 on lower clock at that. Resulting a slightly worse version on Xbox. We will see
@@christiansoneson5631 Colteastwood said the same thing on twitter and he got roasted by ubisoft devs. Simply out thats not how coding works at least for consoles.
Also sony just like Microsoft finalized their dev kits and tools for their system in 2020 march. Theres only a 4 month difference between when the two companies finalized their dev kits and tools. So don’t hold out hope that the finalized GDK will give a really big edge over the PS5.
I started playing the standard edition of Control on my Series X about a week ago on Gamepass with about 2 hours worth of progression, but considering I also have a PS5 with PS Plus I'll be downloading that tomorrow and playing it on there.
@Brit Blue Yeah performance wise and graphically both the PS5 and Series X are very close and are basically the same at the end of the day. The small differences between the two isn't even worth arguing over like many fanboys like to do lol.. It really just comes down to the games, take a look at the games catalog on Gamepass and if you can find 5 or more games that you would download and play I say it's worth getting. I'm currently playing the Medium and Sea of Thieves on my Series X.
I think I'll be playing this in the 60fps mode on my series x rather than the raytraced mode. Raytracing obviously makes the game look visually more appealing but imo its about time we get off 30fps and move to 60. Its more nextgen to me than Raytracing
@@lukebradley8952 The RT performance mode is easily the way to go in Spiderman. Hard to believe that anyone would choose 4k/30, even after I kept going back to it, nothing beats the motion clarity that 60fps provides.
Easily one of the best games I've ever played. Picked it up the first day it went on Gamepass for PC and just beat it yesterday. It's practically perfect. We need more games like this!
Just a heads up. If I'm not mistaken, the version of Control on Ps Plus and Gamepass are not the ones to receive this update. I think it's like the ultimate edition or something that will get the next gen update. Edit: Ps Plus version has the ultimate version. Sorry for the confusion!
Not hating, but I think reviewers/media take 60fps for granted since lots of them are playing on top of the line hardware. The only rabbit for them to chase is RTX 🤷
@@rocstarang5747 Same goes for gamers tbh. It's easier to hype up/sell a game that's 30fps with visuals turned up rather than 60fps which is something you appreciate after actually owning said game.
I agree. If it takes that much of a performance hit, we're just not quite ''there'' yet with this tech both in terms of software *and* hardware support. Now I know AMD's raytracing so far has been... 'meh' due to lack of DLSS-like tech, but that's something the consoles need ASAP if that can be done on the current hardware at all...
@@KindOldRaven not only because of no dlss Nvidia simply has more silicone dedicated to Rt. This has been proven already in neutral RT benchmarks without Dlss

Performance mode all the way for me, in everything that has it. I'll take more FPS over fancier reflections because if you stop and look you might notice they aren't as fancy, but when a game is locked to 30FPS and looks choppy on camera pans you notice it. All. The. Time. IMO of course. Amazingly detailed tech review, high quality even for DF. The email to the engineer which was replied to and given on the video (freeze frame it) was a huge bonus cos as a nerd I always wonder which corners they cut to make the game the best it can be on consoles.
@@AirSKWolf Someone obviously never considered that not everyone wants the expense and hassle of constantly upgrading a PC to stay current and the associated messing around with drivers and game settings to optimise, rather than just buying a decent console version where all that is not a concern.
@@zekepliskin6398 while I do understand your point, apart from the expense which is certainly a consideration, nowadays there's no "hassle" in PC gaming unless you are trying to run a weird setup or something.

My PS5 outperforms my pc on every single cross-platform title except this one. I can't make sense of it. Seems more than capable. At least turn on rt ambient occlusion(its only 1 frame more demanding than ssao.) Makes a world of difference to the lighting model.
@@mikew1080 it seems like the consoles just aren't particularly good at RT, at least so far. Likely because RDNA2 is so new and devs aren't used to it? Similar to how poorly RT performed when the RTX 20 series first came out, in games like BFV. Spider-Man on PS5 shows that you can get more out of the hardware though.
This is tough, because I love how the ray tracing looks, but getting to play the end of Ghost of Tsushima in 60fps really showed me the benefits of higher frame rates. I’ll need to try both modes out and see I suppose.
A little disappointed with PC equivalent the settings. Was hoping to see settings closer to what I run on my RTX 2080, but I guess Nvidia just has that DLSS/RT implementation locked down better than AMD. Still a great looking game even still!
Super impressive given how shabby the last-gen versions were. If it's any consolation, Control is an Nvidia sponsored title and performs better on Nvidia cards than AMD ones. Combined with, as you said, Nvidia's more mature raytracing stuff and even DLSS if you count that, I'd bet that this is a worst-case scenario, like Watch Dogs Legion. It's really interesting seeing performance on those consoles vary from Black Ops: Cold War to this. I'm also pretty happy to see my 2060 Super punch above its weight class at times.
@@bearpuns5910 Oh yeah for sure a major improvement on the console versions. I guess it's fortunate for me that I had the benefit of playing it on a higher-spec PC the first time.
DLSS is a major breakthrough in PC gaming, and despite people always bringing home the message that both PS5 and Series X have some kind of upscale implemented, it's nowhere near on the level of DLSS 2.0. I'm loving next gen console gaming, but man I also would have loved if they delayed say another year and launched with an impressive DLSS 2.0 alternative, because I'm quite confident if they did this it would almost eliminate entirely 30 FPS games with 4K Upscale. 60 could have been the new standard with 120hz being implemented more commonly in the "performance" mode.
I last played this through PS Now on my Slim (Not streamed thankfully 😅) but never got to finish it in time last year. Looking forward to replaying it on my PS5, I do wish they'd just give us options to try and uncap the quality modes, as a PC gamer anything above 30 looks nicer than capped 30.
If you are watching this video on a high-resolution display the clarity in textures and models that comes with high resolution is a lot more significant than improvements that come with higher setting compared in this video. I couldn't even tell the difference without the 400% zoom-ins and someone pointing it out. Though I guess 1080p med/high would have been a nice option for people playing on 1080p displays.
yea... beside almost none of the games can even run at 4k 60 fps without the RT, RT is simply too hard to run.. we need to wait for next gen of consoles n graphic cards to make it work =D
I would rather that, too, but sadly Spiderman makes other sacrifices (the wrong ones, in my opinion and to most people's eyes) instead of resolution like crowd density and further resolution hits on RT effects.
@@37654 Right, but the person he was replying to is talking specifically about the RT + Performance mode, if you take the context of “60 FPS with RT”. Normal performance mode has no ray-tracing. Speaking of which, I should really go back and look at the new mode. I had already finished the game before they released it.
Not just low settings, lower than the lowest settings possible that you can on a PC, and even if you lower your settings on your PC all the way to the end according to Alex you are still getting better visuals compared to the PS5. And if you just search on Yotube Control on a GTX 1070 and you will see that a 2016 GPU is outperformin so called next generation of consoles. Linus tech tips said that a 1070 was the equivalent to a XSX and Gamers Nexus said the same thing. The hardware is really outdated on PC but it's really sad to see that console fanboys are even after everything that they seen they're still trying to somehow find an excuse for their plastic box.
It’s a last gen game being patched to run on next gen hardware you dolts!! How hard is to understand that we won’t be seeing the TRUE power of these consoles until we develop “exclusively” for them
I can't believe we're getting this tomorrow for free on PS5, so excited. Definitely playing on quality mode. I'm off work for a bit too it's like the stars are aligning.

That's what we call piss poor attention to detail.
The settings used in the PS5 version compared to the performance is a clear example why a technology like DLSS is really needed in every game both on consoles and PC.
It can't be done on consoles, since they are powered by AMD technology.
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an proprietary image upscaling technology developed by Nvidia and exclusive to Nvidia graphics cards for real-time use in select video games, DLSS uses the power of NVIDIA’s supercomputers to train and improve its AI model.
The neural network is trained by Nvidia using "ideal" images of video games of ultra-high resolution on supercomputers and low resolution images of the same games.
The result is stored on the video card driver (Game Ready Drivers). It is said that Nvidia uses DGX-1 servers to perform the training of the network.
Especially in this game as it's a crazy hardware hog. Hopefully AMD can pull something decent off to also work on consoles.
dlss is an incentive for video game makers to do a shit job on optimization.
Hopefully amd create their own equivalent and not at the cost to overall optimization.

we need more physics rather than graphics, the 360/ps3 era was sublime when this was exploited
This. I hate how games last generation always felt so static.
Yup. Good lighting, reflections, skin shading, crisp shadows, volumetrics, and all those rendering effects are nice, but destruction and physics really help ground you into the world you're playing. Even if they forget destruction and just make more objects physically active, it feels more immersive. Something as simple as a tree briefly wobbling violently as a result of a nearby grenade explosion is enough to help pull you into the game world and make it feel like you're in an interactive setting and not just standing in a collection of static geometry and textures.

Really cool of them to provide the exact settings.

Thanks Alex. I've started analysing Ray Tracing in real life based on your analysis. I've found some very interesting results. I'm the UK, so on this platform, Clouds are on high settings, vegetation appears to be on medium and the Sun is on very low settings, Reflections off glass is especially impressive. Thanks Alex.

The texture quality is amazing as well, they're not even compressed and all cutscenes render in engine as well keeping a nice consistent look between levels

The SSD in Control is a HUGE game changer. Loading on last gen consoles was absolutely painful.
@Revelator obviously but you are going to waste another $120 dollars and it won’t be as optimized
Still too long for PS5. Seems like it is going to be a while before games take advantage of PS5 storage architecture and match Spider-Man MM loading which loads into a highly detailed open world from a random save file in 1.5 seconds.
Xbox one x plays super
@Revelator it will still not load as fast as it is now on PS5

"Convex dish"
Technically concave, but ARE YOU KIDDING ME that the engine knows what to do with a visual abstraction like that? Raytracing is incredible.
EDIT: a word
The engine doesn't 'know'. It's pure physics and the way light bounces that causes the 'anomaly', but yeah that's the strength of raytracing. Imagine 20 years from now when ray tracing also does diffraction and the oil effects in this video would actually be the result of raytracing as well.
@@viperhd70 I didn't explain myself well. I know what raytracing is. My point was that the engine is able to so directly integrate those physics calculations that we don't even anticipate. But when they pop up in front of us it's like "Wow, that IS how it works in the real world!"
@@HorseheadNebula85 You should check out the "camera obscura" effect on Minecraft RTX. It just manifested itself based purely on the physics of light, no pre programming. Its very cool.

As long as your surface normals are correct, ray tracing will be physically accurate, you don't have to specify whether a surface is concave or convex.

They did a very good job with handling reflections without ray-tracing, good enough that I would take the 60fps over the 30. But really we're all just waiting for a DLSS alternative for AMD, even if they don't have the same acceleration capabilities
even if the boost is small, it is still a boost.
@@vollkerball1 I guess so, but it also a case of how much fidelity you'll end up losing, for that small boost. If it's like a 10-20% boost but it's a poor 'blurry' quality is like DLSS 1.0 or checkerboarding, then it really isn't worth it. However, a 10-20% boost with around the same good level of quality of DLSS 2.0, then it probably is worth it.
Also, RT performance on the consoles and RDNA2 is really a 2 fold issue:
1) RT on AMD's RDNA2 simply isn't that great. Performance levels when compared to Nvidia's Ampere is around 35-40% less on average and that get's even worse with 'full' RT enabled.
2) There's no additional AI cores on the RDNA2 GPU's to be capable of pulling off something like DLSS, in order to mitigate the loss you are getting from using RT.
@@fafski1199 lets wait and see even if any solution appears and i agree dlss 1.0 was bad but that is normal in New features
@@fafski1199 NVIDIA chose to use tensor cores for the upscaling but that doesn't mean that's the only way you can do it. AMD's implementation can be as good without using those cores but some other way. Not an AMD fanboy, I actually have an RTX 2060, but I just wanted to emphasize that there are multiple ways to achieve a result..
@@ioannispoulakas8730 All other ways will use up processing power, either from the CPU or GPU. Either way you are taking up processing power, that could simply be used to boost performance anyway. It's counter-active, taking away performance to try and boost up performance. It also takes up far more 'normal' cores to process, than it does using AI cores that are dedicated and built around doing the necessary AI algorithms.
You simply won't get anything close to DLSS on AMD GPU's, until AMD also include some dedicated AI cores for the task, on the GPU. This probably will be the case with the RDNA3 GPU's (2022) and it's rumoured MCM design. Either way you won't see it for a while, especially on console (mid-gen refresh consoles, then maybe)

I hear the argument that consoles are 2x cheaper to buy than a current gen PC. They are cheaper for a reason.
@@outdatedTV
They are not cheaper compared to the PC.
Just like PC market prices that has gone way up because of the pandemic consoles are expensive too.
No you can't buy a PS5 for $500 if you want one you will have to pay around $1300.
But when finally everything goes back to normal and you could buy a $500 console then imagine what will happen then to the PC market when Nvidia and AMD and Intel latest hardwares come to the market and the prices of the previous hardwares will drop like a free fall.
But consoles will stay at $500 for much longer time.
@@thanos2420 I bought it for $500 not to long ago. I work at a gaming pc department. None of the pcs I build are under $1500 for what the ps5 is pushing. Ps5 is a better value for the power it has. Plus the custom ssd you can't get on the market. Console is looking pretty nice.
@@Oceanandskylinevidss if the PC market was stable right now.
RTX 3070 is $500 MSRP and its 2080Ti level of rasterization and far superior RT than what a PS5 or Series X has.
R7 3700X which is basically the CPU in these consoles was $250
Mobo with gen 4 PCIE features $180
32 GB of RAM $200
SSD that has a few hundred GB more usable storage $200
and you have $170 dollars for case and psu
$1500 for a PC that is better than a PS5 in nearly every department besides Sony's proprietary tech SSD which as we see from loading times and gameplay makes no difference vs the Xbox consoles. Remeber this game is playing on pc medium mostly low and RT and lods turned further down than PC can. while the pc I showed is a 1440p60fps high settings RT game
Remember DF puts the PS5 gpu using RT around the RTX2060 the weakest RT card around and Rasterization around a 2070 Super -2080. So you could drop $150 off the graphics card and still get a better experience. Remember this
@@thanos2420 let's hope things get back to normal. I'd love to see 3080s for 400$ when the next series arrives. This card is killer.
Looks pretty good for the hardware they are working with. My only complaint would be that due to the AA being so low, there are a lot of artifacts and flickering due to it.

Maybe if they target 1080p and/or with aggressive resolution scaling. Idk the specifics of rt in the RDNA architecture powering the PS5's graphics. For example, if lowering
resolution would make room in the render budget for higher rt settings. Instead of only using low/med rt at 1440p fixed there could be a possible medium (with maybe a few high)
rt settings aiming for 1080p with some dynamic res scaling or checkerboarding involved. Basically, a better rt presentation at cost of resolution. ...Or, as you pointed out with SMMM
there could be a pairing back of rt and resolution for 60fps. The only thing is that the rt settings are already low. Maybe halving the resolution of rt reflections (similar to SMMM)?🤷♂️
Brilliant analysis as usual, Alex. Thoroughly enjoyed this. I've only played the original on Series X and I did notice some texture loading issues, such as the clocks in the motel. Interesting that you're not seeing it on the PS5 version. Will look forward to Tom's video on the latest versions on Series X 👍
I've been waiting for this,and I'll enjoy it like you have no idea.
Never played but I need something new
@@GamesDamesFlames yah same here. With most next gen or big triple A titles being delayed right now I feel like any game that is remotely big coming out right now will get played by a lot of people. I mean the Medium on Series X is an indie game really and it was treated like a triple A title. Jedi Fallen Order is back at full price on the PS Store and many played that with it’s update recently. It’s def a good time for any dev company to release a next gen update for a last gen game or to come out with a new title. It will get a ton of press and play. Control is a 2 year old game and people are treating it like it’s a next gen release title. I’ve been looking forward to the game for months now and will def play it tomorrow. I had never even heard of it before the update was announced.
I hope those frame rate drops I saw don't occur very much. I am very glad the developers offered a performance mode but it really should mean that it DOES NOT drop below 60 - the idea is drop the visuals BEFORE the frame rate drops
yeah im king of disappointed that the game is not fully utilizing the PS5 hardware, ray tracing aside, the performance mode should run at a higher settings and maintain 60fps every where, it seems to me its not well optimized, we should wait for future patches and see
Great physics and destructible environments has always been my favorite thing in games
Seems like a great port. Good that they gave you the exact PC settings!
Even ps4 pro and xbox one x is using pc settings med low and high.. While ps5 is using pc exclusive settings.. In previous generation if you watch digital foundry ps4pro and xbox one x is using mix pc settings, low mid high and ultra in some area and some hidden optimization that are not visible to the eyes .. It is not surprising because almost all games are.made.for console and what we get on pc is the port version coming from console more on ps4 side...triple a developers don't make anymore games on pc, but i don't mind port version... Most of the true pc made game are isometric rpg games and strategy games
LOL
Keith Brown cyberpunk also another example of PC first then down scaled to consoles
Mediocre port at best with all those LOW settings.
@@turrican4d599 someone’s bitter
Normally I choose 60fps for just about every game, but this game actually looks pretty good with its graphics mode.
Next gen consoles already lagging behind year old PCs does not bode well for them. It used to be that consoles used specific hardware to overcome and out-perform conventional PCs (see: N64, dreamcast), but now it seems that design decisions favor commodity hardware and need to be made years in advance, placing them at such an inherit disadvantage.
Because of this, we are already needing to sacrifice 50% framerate for basic RT features on these consoles.
The game just isn’t optimized well for AMD cards. For something complex like control, this game needs the Geometry Engine usage on PS5 and AI Upscaling/Super Resolution on XSX (when the feature is ready)
This game is optimized for several high performance cards (mainly Nvidia’s, but next gen consoles aren’t being completely utilized yet by far)
This game is not at all an indicator of next gen console potential looks like.
Nobody wants to develop for another Cell though. That's shooting _everyone_ in the foot. Multiplatform games make more money, and PS3 games especially would need significant investment. Many of those games are locked possibly forever in that generation of hardware instead of being able to be sold digitally for years and years and years.
I felt that Miles Morales with its high performance with RT mode was perfect.
Definitely the right call to sacrifice some visual settings for a stable frame rate. The game still looks great.
Great job! The title matches the video. Even better gave us comparison between PS5 and PC.
I usually choose performance mode, but dang this time it's kind of a hard decision on the PS5. Ray tracing looks amazing on this game.
It "looks" amazing, but I think for this game it's more important how it "feels", and I will stick with the 60 fps mode for that. It still looks great, you just lose the reflections, but it's not like you are paying attention to them during combat anyway.

@@write2nickYou must be 10 years old to say something like that
AMD needs to step up their game already and get ai upscaling to work on consoles, the compromises currently are huge.
I feel the same way. PS5 and Series X are really missing that next gen feel. Most games run at 1440p on my PS4 Pro, and the absence here of RT shadows and bounce lighting just leaves the visuals looking incomplete.
I believe that RDNA2 just doesn't have the same kind of AI oomph in the hardware as the RTX cards, so I'm worried that AMD's DLSS competitor is gonna dissapoint. At the very least tho, I wish devs would make use of the reconstruction techniques that are already possible. Temporal Injection in Spider-Man is awesome. If you didn't tell me that God of War was checkerboard 4K, I probably couldn't tell. With existing tech today you can improve image quality a lot with minimal performance cost.
Xbox will support support it with direct ML.
But it's still being worked on
@@nighttimestalker but as the guy above said these new consoles lack the AI oomph compared to the rtx cards, the series x for example has about 50% machine learning performance of an rtx2060.

Excited for the other video, this was a nice and welcomed preview.
Remedy sent exact PC settings for comparison?? I absolutely love them for that.
I'd be really interested in a breakdown of what the series X version will be able to do. Ray tracing is massively benefitted by having more compute units. We know this from pc GPUs. It'll be interesting to see how much further the series X can go if remedy has really optimised for the newest Xbox GDK.
Gut feeling... Xbox will get a ps5 port and not use the extra CUs but rather run on the same amount as ps5 on lower clock at that. Resulting a slightly worse version on Xbox. We will see
Series x has 17% more compute units. Not much of a difference to talk about there.

I think people were expecting a 1080p/60fps/RTXON mode. Seems like the best balance.
I think I'll be playing this in the 60fps mode on my series x rather than the raytraced mode. Raytracing obviously makes the game look visually more appealing but imo its about time we get off 30fps and move to 60. Its more nextgen to me than Raytracing

Yeah I actually couldn’t believe how much better Spiderman Miles Morales looked with 60fps, and Ray tracing for me became secondary.

RTX is nice in a subtle way and when you pay attention but 60fps is a night and day difference on everything including response time/controls.

Super impressive given how shabby the last-gen versions were. If it's any consolation, Control is an Nvidia sponsored title and performs better on Nvidia cards than AMD ones. Combined with, as you said, Nvidia's more mature raytracing stuff and even DLSS if you count that, I'd bet that this is a worst-case scenario, like Watch Dogs Legion.
It's really interesting seeing performance on those consoles vary from Black Ops: Cold War to this. I'm also pretty happy to see my 2060 Super punch above its weight class at times.

DLSS is a major breakthrough in PC gaming, and despite people always bringing home the message that both PS5 and Series X have some kind of upscale implemented, it's nowhere near on the level of DLSS 2.0. I'm loving next gen console gaming, but man I also would have loved if they delayed say another year and launched with an impressive DLSS 2.0 alternative, because I'm quite confident if they did this it would almost eliminate entirely 30 FPS games with 4K Upscale. 60 could have been the new standard with 120hz being implemented more commonly in the "performance" mode.

Thats why I don't like consoles because you have no control over what kind of experience you want.
If you are watching this video on a high-resolution display the clarity in textures and models that comes with high resolution is a lot more significant than improvements that come with higher setting compared in this video.
