Mass Effect Legendary Edition: PS5 vs Xbox Series X/S Tech Breakdown - 4K60 Achieved on Next-Gen?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
- A trilogy remastered. All three games in the Legendary Edition get tested today in a comprehensive look at PS5, Xbox Series X and S machines. The Xbox Series X version in particular is standout for a stable 4K60 mode - plus a bonus 120Hz option not seen on the PS5 system at present. But how do they stack up against each other - and what of the visual 'upgrades' over the original Mass Effect?

He probably beats most of us then.

@@JochoPorocho not gonna lie? Why would you lie about that ?
@@JochoPorocho I think he’s crazy
I remember I would play ME on my 360 awhile ago infront of my dad. He would always say "Why do you like playing this game? All the man does is run all everywhere. Is it a running game? Why does he run?"
Why are You running?
As someone who just spent a couple hours running around the Citadel, your dad's got a point.
Thats how i felt too. I tired to play it twice but i couldnt make it 2-3h into game. Later i tried again and now i played the trilogy with full dlcs about 3 times.. And its the best game ever. Best characters,emotions and amazing story. The only comparable game is dragon age.
I've ran around Noveria for a while because I still don't have a feckin clue where I am.
Your dad was kinda wrong, Shepard could barely run.

And again that moment when your memory looks like the remaster xD
That how the remasters of Modern Warfare 1 & 2 were for me.
You guys have bad eyesight and non reliable memory 🧠
@@Keepskatin Maybe youre just too young to understand many things. You obviously werent around when old games came out, they were amazing graphics for their times, and now they can be unplayable. But if you played an old game when it first arrived on the scene, you would have been impressed, and that impression would leave a lasting imprint of how your memory compares an old game you havent played in over a decade or two, to games you have gotten used to in the present. Actually revisiting an older title can be jarring as you have fond memories of a game that is now aged for better or worse
Exactly how i feel, i remember playing mass effect 1 and 2 and everything would look like the remaster to me
@@SL1CEND1CEN I played the ME trilogy as they came out and I didn't need to see comparison shots to know that the Legendary Edition looks much, much better than the original. Your entire comment is just agreeing with what Keepskatin said: "yep our memories are unreliable, oops our eyesight has been affected by our nostalgia goggles".
Does anyone finds the galaxy map theme song soothing and relaxing ? I’m so happy they kept every music and sound effect intact.
Hey DF. I was wondering if you guys might do a "farewell" video for the Xbox One/PS4 generation? To take a look back at the graphics and performance showcases, maybe get some devs in to talk about the quirks of each of the systems, anecdotes. etc. I would love to see it.
A farewell video would be premature, maybe in another 2 years when they both finally commit to the new consoles.
@@TomsGotPowers I'd take a farewell vid to the Xbox 360/PS3 generation if they wanted to leave it a bit longer
That's heavy duty work, for DF Retro. For that idea, Patreon away my friends. RUclips algorithm doesn't favor to pay for this type of content, it wants frequent videos low in depth. That's how you get paid in YT, unfortunately. Quantity, not quality... Unfortunately.
This is a great idea.
they are still in production and being sold so a little early
I’m here to see if “bespoke” is mentioned.
That tends to be John’s word
"curious"
If John Linneman’s not reviewing, the framerate’s never “buttery smooth”
I still don't get what it means. Could "ad hoc" be an adequate synonym?
@@souljastation5463 Bespoke means “tailored to a specific user”
For example, the PS5’s custom SSD could be described as bespoke

They still do.
It's weird, I was really afraid of them in 2007 as my younger self. Today they are just some enemies running around. Game didn't really change, but I did.

I was never interested in these games when they came out I just picked up the legendary edition and I'll play them for the first time today ☺️
I've never played any and will be picking this up and going in totally blind. I have no.idea what to expect
I went from playing this back on a Xbox 360 at 720p , to a 3080 at 4k. They did an incredible job. Thank you for keeping the original audio !
Yeah same. I was so hyped about the game before it's release I bought and read Mass Effect Revelations by Drew Karpyshyn which acts as a prequel to the games.
*sub 720p
It’s not 3080. Even pc can’t do 3080p at 60fps
@@vitorfernandes651 right... it can do more than 60fps at 4k.. I have an RTX 3080 😂🤣
Playing a game this good with updated textures and running at 4k 60 really is a treat. I hope they do a great job with ME4. Anyway I still think that a modded PC version of the original running on a powerful computer looks better than this.
I was wondering if DF would be doing this video. And here we are!
Same haha
I looked for this video like 8 hours ago because I was curious.
I was also. Wasn’t sure if they would.
Yea but they didn't do one for the nier replicant remaster. Really wish they would have cause that game was excellent.
They didn’t finish the video without pc, ps4, and Xbox one though.
Not gonna lie, hearing it called New Eden and not Eden Prime was very odd.

@@rockapartie Some 360 games I can’t play on Backward Compatibility. Dead Space looks like shit soup.. so much shimmering. Sometimes I wish I had a monitor instead of a 43 inch TV so it wouldn’t be as noticeable 😂 but I’ll be honest I wasn’t really planning on playing through it.
Nah its just the remaster is shite
It was mind blowing technology at the time. I had never seen anything like it.
One thing worth noting that I don't think was mentioned in the video:
Framerate mode on series s removes dynamic shadows for characters and a few other objects.

Playing the series 10 years ago was something else.. incredible games that hold up so well
It's so awesome to see new people get into the series. The story and lore are really great. Hope you enjoy your time with the rest of the series.
You’re in for such a treat!
Same here! Never played the original but I am enjoying. It already feels better than MEA story vise.
Tip: don’t forget to romance someone, I forgot to on my ME1 playthrough
12:30 is a problematic and stuttery location on many systems, has always been since the OG release of ME1 and I guess that is why it is featured in so many clips in this vid. It is an area that drops my fps from 100-144 to 60+ just when looking in that direction, no matter the resolution or other graphics settings on an RTX2070. Seems like a culling optimisation issue in UE3 because the same fps drop happens if you go to the other end of the Citadel and look toward this point, the same thing happens.
This is the video I wanted from DF this week. Thank you, gentlemen.
Hey guys, how about a video about old demos comparing with new games, what was achieved or not. UE 3 & 4 demos, Unity demos etc...
Booted this up on my SeriesX and was blown away. 😲
@Garrus Vakarian You don’t know what you are talking about. Throwing more VRAM is futile if they are not powerful enough to take full advantage of that level of VRAM which no consumer GPU even has. They have enough VRAM if anything more powerful GPU’s would be the only thing worth upgrading.
@Garrus Vakarian you don’t know how technology works do you?
@Garrus Vakarian I mean, this is essentially a PS4 game though lol
@@ZeroShaneBob eh on my Xbox it says it’s optimized for series S & X. Also when I categorize my games based on console type my Xbox list this game under Xbox series X & S games and not Xbox one or even Xbox one x enhanced games.
@Garrus Vakarian More VRAM? lol you're so clueless.
Awesome, thanks so much for doing all this analysis, totally understood (and expected!) that you could only test a small portion of each--especially with the huge matrix of platforms, modes, and games within the package. Really glad to see they modernized these well, and I'll probably play through everything on my XSX once it's available on Xbox Game Pass.
Excellent work all 'round as always!
This is amazing. ME1 is really hard to get into on PC. Mods, fixes, control issues, antiquated gameplay. This is a great reason to give it another go.
Yeah the work done on ME 1 was one of my main reasons for getting this remaster. Not just the PC specific fixes like making it work "out of the box" with controllers (any X-input based ones I think), fixes to work perfectly on modern Windows, and most of all the gameplay tweaks they made to ME 1. I love Mass Effect but could never really get into ME 1 like I did ME 2 and 3. So far a few hours in this remaster and the tweaks they have made to ME 1 have worked for me and I'm enjoying it a lot.
Seeing Normandy remastered in 4K at 60 FPS gives me goosebumps. Oh man that ship is so awesome....
Ahhhhh snap, I’ve been waiting on this one baby!!!
Best game ever!

The remaster is truly impressive! Although, are others playing on Xbox One X also experiencing massive screen tearing - especially in busier areas like the Citadel?
Cheers for the video, I've never played so looking forward to this.
It's crazy that although the upgrades are amazing, the 360 version looks fairly good even in comparison. Mass effect 1 was so ahead of it's time. Impressive!
Yeah the graphics were really great for the time.
That framerate tho...

Crysis was released the same year and the original @4k looks just as good as Mass effect 1 remastered. Mass effect 2 manages to look generally better, but not even mass effect 3 looks as good as Crysis 2 on a technical level.

@@TruTrae The Hot Labs on Noveria.
1440p 60hz for series s with VRR is amazing.
Thank you!! Been waiting for this.
I have extensively tested it on the PS4 Pro-The differences between framerate vs. quality mode are pretty striking. I noticed on quality mode, the game displays shadows, less geometry visual noise on small objects like weapons on the back, and objects in far distances fully rendered make the game much more modern. The framerate makes the game shows its age a lot more obvious but the gameplay feels far more smooth and modern with 60fps.
Looking forward to playing these. I've totally slept on this series until now and it looks great!
mad lad, this is the best series ever. i envy you getting to play this for the first time......do not rush this game. enjoy every second and do every side mission
I'm really impressed by this remaster playing this on PS5 @ 4k 60 FPS is a great experience. A Massive upgrade from the original 360 release while still completely nailing the tone and feel of that game. TBH I don't really miss the abundance of post processing effects they draped the screen with in 360

Colossal work Thomas. Great video!
I think that Series S resolution should be modified in a patch. 1440p/30fps for quality and 1080p/60fps for perfomance. Hopefully that would deliver no fps loss at each resolution and no tearing.
Also, and I insist this should be on EVERY game out there on every console, there should be a fps unlock toggable option on every 30fps game, scratch that, on every game that has any fps lock, for future proofing and/or user choice. This way, newer consoles, or newer iterations of same console could improve perfomance. I still remember BioShock and Saints Row 2-3 on PS3-360 having that option and both now play at 60fps on Xbox Series X (all 360 games, not remasters).
Anyway, ME Legendary Edition looks absolutely great, going to get it on SX. Thanks!
Just an amazing comparison! Well done!
This is my favourite DF guy, the one still covering game launches. Are there any hopes for Nier Replicant?

As you can see, the Mass Effect Legendary Edition fixes the problem of every scene not containing Massive amounts of lens flare everywhere.
J.J Abrams and J.J Binks both were consulted to get the remakestered look just right.

Those 360 comparison shots are cool. More work into it than I expected.
I was really hoping Bioware would finally fix the constraint they had regarding Saren's character model. Originally, the goal was to have Saren start out as a normal Turian and then slowly morph over the course of the game into the organic/synthetic hybrid we initially see. The Xbox 360 with it's RAM capacity couldn't accommodate that plan so they ended up just sticking with the one model, so they say. I was thinking that with the current hardware, even PS4/Xbox One could have made that a reality but I guess not, and you have to witness that scene of Saren with obvious Geth enhancements on him and the Citadel Council is like "there's no way this guy is evil"
I prefer saren straight up being sketchy and modified and nihilus and the council being in denial tbh. It's pretty fitting.
Look up the saren stages mod

Those reflections don’t appear to be screen space, given they show up even when the reflected stuff isn’t on screen.
The devs did say they’re rendering reflections from a reflection camera camera into a frame buffer, then using that as the reflection, which could explain the frame rate weirdness.
ive been waiting for this
I asked for this and you gave. So happy im crying.
I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favourite video on Digital Foundry
The reflections used in the Legendary Edition are a mix of cubemaps and geometric reflections (not screen space reflections). I think screen space reflections would look much better, ironically enough.
Very much glad to be playing my favourite trilogy on Series X. It looks so slick and crisp...
Hey, loved the video but you missed out something very very important. Right now Planar reflections are ALSO kinda broken right now. They seem to run at 15fps and the experience is quite frankly nauseating. Was hoping this issue could get some attention from your video. This seems to be on all platforms
Yeah I'm surprised he didn't notice it in the Citadel and mention it. Much worse and more jarring than the 30fps reflections and makes no sense in a 60fps target game.
You're referring to console gameplay right? I'm playing on PC and I might be wrong but I don't remember having a problem of that sort.
@@DarTuga94 Im playing on PC but this issue is present on consoles as well. look closely at the reflections in flux club windows or the floors in the wards. Noveria the bar also has the same issue on the floors. Its everywere. Not sure if they are using planar reflections or render to texture.
“I can smell the hate, why don’t you just start fighting already?” Yea, my favorite quote..
THE VIDEO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
I'm about 14h in ME1 and loving it so far, I love collections
Just a heads-up HDR is bugged on Xbox series consoles. If you have auto HDR turned on it enables it for the launcher and the games for some reason, even though the compatibility options say it's disabled. If you disable auto HDR in your video settings HDR is disabled in the launcher, but works once you launch the game. The auto HDR version isn't horrible, but the real HDR version definitely looks nicer.
So turn off auto HDR?
Thats because this game is a remasterd with hdr 4k 60fps ,auto hdr will only be enable in older games like a skyrim for example .
Ah I just re read it I understand now I'll try out the in game HDR rather than the auto HDR.
I'm using Dolby Vision with the Xbox Series X. Auto hdr is active but DV overrides it.
@@2Guys1ControllerShow I have Dolby Vision enabled on my SX, how do you check to see if the game is running using that though? I'm using an LG CX but when the game launches I only see it trigger HDR mode
This is a true remastered,worth to buy
Good stuff!
Hi! Thank you for the video! Really interested how the trilogy behaves on Xbox One OG/S. Also wonder if it'll come to Switch and show it may behave to.
Been waiting for this one all weekend 😍
I dont love 1...i love 2 and enjoyef 3.
But man...this trilogy was something so special to me. I cried like a baby when i finished it
DF just made my day
5:33 - Not screen space reflections. Notice how reflected geometry/objects
don't vanish when out of view. In other cases, the angles don't add up
for screen space reflections. Like the panorama windows in the Flux bar
on the Citadel. These are likely planar reflections.
Want to see comparisons to PS4 base, PS4 Pro, other Xbox models and PC if possible.
I have a VRR tv (Q80T) and a series X. 120 fps is pretty smooth, I don't notice the swings in framerate with VRR and it definitely feels more smooth than 60 fps, though 60 fps is more than smooth enough. the 1440p, I can see a slight softening though in my display. So its more preference. Maybe the resolution diff would seem better if I had a smaller screen (I have a 65" and only sit like 7' away). VRR is definitely nice to have, as then you don't notice frame drops like if your display was fixed (I use my tv as a pc monitor too, once you go VRR/Gsync/freesync, you do not go back to fixed framerate, no matter how "locked" a game seems you notice every little stutter without it).
You don't need 120fps for a third person shooter. 120fps are mostly for fps.
So, the best choice is 4k and 60fps for thus game. Clarity and 60fps without the need for VRR or a lower resolution.
@@kostasbousbouras2654 I mean or you can just let him choose what he wants to play with it’s not like the option for 4k 60fps isn’t there anyways
@@kostasbousbouras2654 If my OLED was newer and had 120hz and VRR, I would be playing 120hz for sure. The difference between 1440p and 4k to me just doesn't matter much while an ultra buttery smooth framerate is always appreciated.
I have the same TV and I can't perceive any drops at all either.
Makes me wonder - if Devs can't get that perfectly fixed 120fps they should probably add a little text disclaimer "recommended for use with VRR displays" or something.
@@Buffinator1988 I wish games would add an unlocked frame rate mode for those of us with VRR. So you’d get “quality”, “performance” and “unlocked for VRR”. One can dream, perhaps when VRR TVs have been around for a few years and HDMI 2.1 is better adopted we will see such an option.
Did they change the way reflections are handled sometime after this review? They're definately not screenspace any more. I can look down at water and see everything reflected from the tops of the trees to the sky. It's not just static objects either, NPCs offscreen are also fully reflected.
The instant loading times are the best improvement, you got to be a speed reader for the tips lol
Love seeing the Original and Legendary side by side. This remaster bundle is incredible. I always loved ME1 but it was always the hardest to go back to. Now that I'm playing the Legendary Edition I'm really enjoying the combat and visuals of ME1. I also love that they've added a photo mode! $60 for three games with all of these improvements and all 40 DLC (most of which cost $5-15 each in the original games) this Legendary Edition is awesome.
Great video as usual. Went Series X on this release and picked up Returnal for PS5. No regrets.
Best of both worlds :)
Returnal is the worst game of the year lmao
Returnal has entered my most unique games list
Such a great game and I've never expected it to be that great In artwork, creativity and gameplay from a studio that is not even mainstream
Puts other popular stuidos AAA titles to shame
@@john45hhh yep. Got lucky and was able to pick up both consoles out the gate. Looking at how things are right now, I realize how lucky I got. People are still struggling to get either systems.
@@danny.4506 Nope.
@ 12:29 I believe that area of the citadel was like that in the original PC version. I believe that might be a engine limitation from 2007. As that's the largest and most complex area in the game (with NPC, size, water, trees).
I will miss Shepard's sprint from ME1 that was, the camera is now slightly closer
i think they did an amazing job
it makes FUN now to play ME1
Looking forward to actual nextgen native copies, backward compatible games always use last gen hardware as the foundation so SX generally has the edge with that.
Geat video, waiting on the pc version analysis tho. NEED FAST
Does anyone remember the sound of the ME1 sniper rifle and its echoing BOOM? I was genuinely impressed by that back in the day.
Anyway, the remaster looks about as good as it gets without an engine overhaul. As if the last-gen version had a layer of vaseline smeared all over it due to its blurriness. Absolutely love the sharp textures.
