    What is it with 2K and their remasters. The Bioshock Collection was already a little rough around the edges on the vanilla consoles. Then they produce a shoddy Mafia 2 remaster and somehow manage to make a complete mess of Mafia 3, taking away the games Pro and X enhancements. And now we have this. Bioshock and Mafia deserve far better treatment.

      @tommapar 4 года назад +5

      The "gamma curve" difference between the two consoles I believe are due to the same issue every comparison omitted in the last generation of consoles, I believe it's called HDMI Black Level in the PS4 but don't quote me on that, there's an option that allows for Full RGB and another for Limited. Same as in PS3 and Xbox 360.
      The image looks more washed out color wise with less deep blacks on comparison because that option is not set correctly. I believe "Limited" shows a more punchier picture with regular screens, while "Full" provides a better balanced picture for HDR compliant screens, since they can actually display all the black levels without just flattening it out to "grayish".

      tommapar88 Xbox uses a non standard gamma curve, this is separate from black levels. Most games correct for it now, but some do not. Games look best when black levels and gamma are set to the matching settings on your TV. For most games this is a 2.2 gamma curve, and the black level is dependent on your console settings. It’s typically best to leave black level settings on auto.

    I think you guys should do a deep dive into console AF. Time after time, we see AF being used that is "sub par" whether that be lower multipliers or linear options.
    The question is: why??? Even a rx 470 can handle 16x AF with NO perceivable performance loss. What are Sony/Microsoft/Developers seeing that we are not? Is limited memory buffers a factor? Bandwidth? I've had this question for years and I think DF is the only people who could properly investigate this.

    Before these patches. The PS4 Pro Version with Boost mode on actually played at a locked 60fps on Bioshock 1&2 and an even more stable fps on Bioshock Infinite with boost mode on. Which was a big improvement from how they ran on base PS4 at launch. Like they were pretty much perfect. Minus texture Filtering which was a PS4 bug that was fixed with a system stability patch for later UE3 and UE4 games on PS4. But Dishonred Definitive Edition and DMC on PS4 still have the Filtering bug. DMC was patched later on though. But I'd rather have the 1080p 60fps with Boost Mode on, on Pro as it actually runs way better on all of the Bioshock games on PS4 Pro then. Also you can fix the micro stutters or background streaming fps drops by using a SSD.

    Confused, I installed/restarted my console and holy crap it was a huge improvement. All of a sudden everything was crisp and clear on my TV and my character movement was smooth. (This happened at the end of the Hephaestus level where you need to collect the parts to build the emp).
    I wish I would've known this patch was coming because I would have gladly waited the extra couple days to be able to see crisp textures and fluid movement on my 4K TV for the entire game, it was like playing a remaster vs a crappy port.

    The Switch port was better optimized for 30fps than these are. That remaster was outsourced to a Chinese company and they did a very solid job. I game on everything, with my PC being my main hub. I can say that the drop to 30fps was jarring at first, but my eyes adjusted after an hour or two. I just wanted to analyze “Infinite” at first, but then I found myself playing through the whole thing in less than 2 days. Upon analyzing, I basically found that they ported the PS3/Xbox 360 versions of the game. The assets and textures were identical when I compared it to those ports. The Switch can just run them better. The foliage in Infinite looked awful and I thought there was no way that even the OG ports used these assets. Only to find out that they did. I just didn’t realize how much better the PC and remastered editions looked in comparison to the PS3/Xbox 360 ports.

      @BlindBison Its insanely inexpensive. I have been enabling 16xAF on PC for probably the past 15-20 years on every piece of hardware I've ever owned. And I've not always had top end hardware in my system. Enabling it simply doesn't impact performance in a noticeable way, maybe 1-2fps at best. Sure this could be a big thing if console devs are trying to hit a stable 30 or 60fps. But at least 4x should be more than possible, maybe its just one of those features that devs think that majority of the console player base would not notice.

    • @colfari
      @colfari 4 года назад +1

      @BlindBison As far as I know (and it's not a lot) you have actually given a pretty good answer to your own question. A console apu shares the memory bandwidth between cpu and gpu (and it's not like they have a lot), and with AF being bandwidth heavy, they rather use that bandwidth for stuff they think have a more visibly positive effect on the game, especially when targeting 30 fps.

    • @axayd
      @axayd 4 года назад +1

      PCs have DDR4 RAM for CPU as well as dedicated GDDR5/6 VRAM for the GPU so bandwidth isn't a problem. Consoles have to use the same RAM for CPU+GPU and some of it is reserved for the OS so they tend to be bandwidth starved. That said, 8x should really be the minimum amount of AF any modern game should have.

    Should be getting a consistent 16 AF on Series X and PS5, so that's one thing to look forward to.
    We have to remember, the X and Pro were ultimately experiments, and both still hobbled by the Jaguar-based APU -- in 2016/17, that was still the only console option from AMD, and Microsoft and Sony had to surgically alter it as best they could for the mid-gens. These mid-gen consoles only contributed to 1 in 5 unit sales in their respective hardware ecosystems vs. their base/slim console siblings' sales, but they were effective for additional PR/coverage and each provided more than a handful of highly impressive upgrades (and a bunch of merely 'good' or middling upgrades).
    So, not exactly pillars of consistency in dev upgrades for the mid-gens, but an excellent training session towards this fall's cross-gen transition kick off.

    Another excellent video from you guys doing a great job, keep up the great work! But there is a very big and glaring issue people should be aware of with Bioshock infinite since this update! On Xbox one x, once you reach the good time club The performance of the game becomes absolutely horrid. The game will full on freeze and for a few seconds both in combat and out of combat at seemingly random but frequent. However during combat you experience a lot more slow down and frame drops. and somehow the problem seems to get only worse the further you progress in the game after the good time club. I thought this was a really glaring issue and would be important for others to know before they make a purchase or attempt to play BioShock infinite at least on the Xbox one x, I am unaware if this is a problem on other systems.

      Yep, PS5 locks the frame rate completely to 60fps.

    i REALLY hope the ps5 and series x are finally the end of consoles having less than 16x anisotrophic filtering

    Disconnect your console from the internet this fixes the performance issues I mean the stutter and the frame drops when using the drill.
    Sounds weird but works 😂👌

    I'm so glad they finally took advantage of the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X with this update. I'm excited to see how the next BioShock performs on the next gen systems 👀

      Its a shame about the performance though so I'll mostly continue playing on PC.
