The DF tech review: PS4/PS5 vs Xbox Series X/S + One.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a new Soulslike adventure from Team Ninja.
The game’s cutscenes are also capped at 30fps (with uneven frame-pacing) regardless of mode.
Series X’s resolution mode is a similar story, but offers a slightly higher average frame-rate.
Series S also has sports two modes, but this time they do affect frame-rate.
The good news is Series S really does a respectable job of hitting 60fps in its performance mode.
Let’s run through the downgrades in order.
Shadow detailing is removed from the scenery too, while transparency effects also take a nosedive in resolution.
Perhaps most surprisingly, though, is that cloth physics are significantly dialled back.
Even the motion blur is downgraded with more dithering in movement here.
What of the last-gen situation?
All four older consoles run at 30fps for a start, with uneven frame-pacing to boot.
The base PS4 targets just 1280x720, while Xbox One S renders at 1152x648.
Even on PS5 and Series X, the best-case turn-out hardly screams ‘next-gen’.
In both cases, Wo Long has the look and feel of a last-gen project running at 60fps.
That, at least, is a guine game-changer.
