The Crew Motorfest - PS5/Series X/S Tech Review- A Great Series Return - But Only 30FPS on Series S

  • Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
  • As the series' third outing The Crew Motorfest hands in a solid 60fps experience on PS5 and Series X consoles. The open world design is in the same mould as Forza Horizon, and translates well to each. However the result on the 4TF Series S console isn't up to the same standard, where all gameplay is fixed at 30fps - with issues in frame pacing and tearing to boot. Tom investigates the quality of each version.

      The current "simulator but not really" meta of racing games is pointless when they stuff the games full of driving assists to the point it needs to play itself on a controller anyway, all those detailed physical simulations get lost in the shuffle when you do that.

      Rant warning ⚠️
      Ubisoft IV can't even manage 30fps. They need to sort out their vsync issues first. The way they do adaptive vsync seems to be the issue. Adaptive vsync can be a good thing but it seems Ubisoft published games on Xbox always have frame pacing issues in one mode at least.
      I've also had frame pacing issues with various Ubisoft titles in-game adaptive vsync on PC in the past. It's just infuriating that they keep relying on it for their games. Just use normal vsync, at least on consoles where this thing can't be fixed by the user. These issues have gone on for many years now. Simply using regular vsync 1/2 or 1/3 for 40fps would fix the problems straight away.
      40fps for series s is a great idea. Don't think I'd use it in this game on series X though as I think the image quality is acceptable at 60fps. But I'm all for options.

    The Series X port whilst during regular performance it runs pretty well outside of the odd occasion, its the *stability* that becomes a huge problem.
    From my experience, that particular port's netcode seems to be quite bad. I've had continuous issues from time to time to where the game just gets stuck on a long loading screen, most frequent from when either exiting the Main Stage, or when finishing a Grand Race. I've had some last for minutes on end, and its incredibly infrequent when it happens. Even once had a situation where the game got softlocked on a loading screen when trying to enter Photo Mode.
    The load time issues seem to be far less frequent on PC and PS5, its just the Series X in particular. Very strange.

      Why should it be optimised for series s? The only first party series s/x ONLY games Xbox have released to date is Redfall and Starfield and NEITHER is 60fps. If Xbox can't do it themselves, then where does this expectancy for 3rd party dev come from??? On top of that, those 2 games aren't even at PS4 levels of visuals like GOW (linear sort of game) or Horizon (open world game) and both their sequels too. Forza is their newest game.
      I'm sorry but if Xbox proved it can be done easily, you would have an argument and we already saw the DF analysis of all the lies and downgrades Forza received, to get it running on both consoles too. Plus its only set on smaller tracks, its not an open world racer like The Crew.
      And surprisingly, as a current gen only game, the new Forza isn't even an overly impressive looking game, like 9 year old Driveclub still looks like at times compared to most modern racers.
