What happened to all the Sony journalists “just reporting the news” ?

Surely the Series X outperforming the PS5 on the most anticipated game of the year qualifies as reportable news, right?

Why haven’t y’all posted your usual 2-3 threads about it by now?

Cyberpunk 2077 plays better on Xbox Series X than PS5, and here's why

I’ve played the opening hours of Cyberpunk 2077 across PS5 and Xbox Series X, and can say with confidence that Microsoft’s console is the current leader in terms of visuals and performance. Sony’s PS5 has one image output which strives to reach 60 frames per second and a resolution that seemingly fails to hit native 4K.

It runs beautifully, exhibiting a smoothness I honestly wasn’t expecting after being swayed away from the console versions during the review period. Unfortunately, visuals take a notable dip when compared to PC and Xbox Series X. Lower quality presets are being used, which becomes evident in draw distance, shadows and particle effects being rather underwhelming.

Xbox Series X fares much better, largely because you can switch between Quality and Performance modes whenever you like from the options menu. Quality caps performance to 30fps while striving to reach a higher resolution with greater visual fidelity, while Performance aims for 60fps but sacrifices some luscious graphics in the process.

Via VGC

However, analysis of both Xbox One and PS4 versions running via backwards compatibility suggests that only Xbox Series X offers the option to choose between a higher resolution or smoother framerate on day one.

The PS4 version of Cyberpunk appears to default to 60fps on PlayStation 5, but there’s seemingly no option to sacrifice frame rate for a higher resolution like on Xbox’s next-gen console.

It’s not clear if this feature is intentionally missing or due to be added later. VGC is awaiting comment from CD Projekt RED.

Cyberpunk’s seeming lack of PS5 performance options could be due to an issue with the way the console handles backwards compatibility.

I been seeing more Sony heads upset in the game thread as well

Personally, I been having a BLAST playing on my Series X but don’t mind me, I’m just reporting the news

How is Cyberpunk 2077 being compared when neither system is being used at full power?

Game looks lovely on my Xbox One X. LMAO at anyone playing this on Playstation anything

 

[Jchr is]

LMAO CDPR been on Microsoft dikk for a while. You think they wouldn't incentivize that version when it's basically an update to the One X?


nikkas had a marketing deal with Ubisoft and couldn't get the same attention, you know Phil put that call

Facts

this is the reason why the X Series version is better

"switch between Quality and Performance modes whenever you like from the options menu. Quality caps performance to 30fps while striving to reach a higher resolution with greater visual fidelity, while Performance aims for 60fps but sacrifices some luscious graphics in the process."

"The PS4 version of Cyberpunk appears to default to 60fps on PlayStation 5, but there’s seemingly no option to sacrifice frame rate for a higher resolution like on Xbox’s next-gen console."

Since they didn't give Playstation that option, that gives them the dub

An option is why it's better now
