Resident Evil 7's Xbox One X patch offers a big boost over the standard console

DF: "Another big game got an Xbox One X enhancement! Here's how Resident Evil 7 on X improves over the standard console, along with some intriguing PS4 Pro comparisons."

[Kornholic]

PS4 Pro version still wins with better image quality and more stable performance.

[PFFT]

Korn would be ashamed of you. The Xbox One X version is yet again the definitive version.

[Kornholic]

That's not what DF said, though. Why would they be ashamed of me? I didn't buy an Xbox One X.

[StormSnooper]

I would say the definitive version is on PSVR and by far. and this is from someone who has the game.

[kevnb]

korn has no shame.

@ciporta1980
What is this best feature?

[Bhai]

@PFFT Hahaha :D
"PlayStation's excellent VR support remains a highlight - and it's functionality that obviously Microsoft can't provide." ... Eurogamer.

The ultimate graphical possibility remains on PS4 ... the paperweight hasn't done that again... Pro's got the definitive edition here... FACT! ;)

[bigmalky]

It has VR too?

[Direwolf484]

Digital Foundry outright states the X has better image quality and shadow quality, with identical performance bar a blip in the garage.

[Profchaos]

But it lacks in VR which is this games selling point

[Kornholic]

Despite the 4k resolution, Xbox One X version is a blurry mess.

[TheCommentator]

The narrator actually says the 1X version is near perfect 60FPS with better shadows, filtering, and resolution. The only place he found with any frame drops for the 1X was the one demoed in the video comparison, and it went down to 57 for 2-3 seconds.

[Kornholic]

DF actually states that PS4 Pro indeed has more stable frame rate.

[TheCommentator]

Yeah, I know. I addressed that in my post with the comment about framerate. Observation isn't your strong suit, is it?

[yomfweeee]

No, you didn't say anywhere in your post that the Pro has a more stable frame rate.

[TheCommentator]

@ yomfweeee

Kornholic says the Pro has a better framerate. I don't agree because it's so minimal of a difference it's not worth bragging about. There's only one scene, for 2-3 seconds, where the 1x dips by only 3 frames from an otherwise flawless 60FPS (the one part of the game Pro performs better on), so I did mention it in my OP. What are you going to do next though, count blades of grass? Grow up.

[Kornholic]

So you don't agree with facts? Crazy times. PS4 Pro has more stable performance. That's a fact.

[bluefox755]

Nah, it wins because it has VR.

[carlosjrix]

Did you read the article?

[bolimekurac]

no it doesnt, its a solid 60fps on the x1x and has higher resolution and better shadows, the ps4 is slightly crisper but with tons of artifacts

[maybelovehate]

Yeah right.. Those jaggies will cut your eyes out.

[Babadook7]

Indeed it does.

[MattE]

Nah, you have no clue what you are talking about.. the PS4 Pro is full of pretty bad shimmer all over the image my friend, jaggies and low quality shadow detail.. watch the video again and think about what they are saying and what you would rather see on your screen

[MadLad]

You misspelled "PC version".

[bolimekurac]

nice, 4k 60fps better shadows, less artifacts.

[Direwolf484]

It was a long time coming but they did a really good job.

[tmisellati]

xbox1x : higher resolution , better shadows , better AA.
ps4 pro : sharper image quality , VR support.

[bolimekurac]

ps4 is sharper with artifacts, not sharper as in better

[tmisellati]

digitalfoundry comments on checkerboard artifacts in RE7 : " The fact is that the stippling artefacts you'd associate with this technique are very well hidden behind the game's waves of post effects "
Beside , if you have a ps4 pro , you will know that these artifacts are difficult to be seen unless you are setting very near to you 4k tv.

[tmisellati]

i m not here to prove that the ps4 pro is as capable as the xbox1x !!
sure , the xbox1x is a more powerfull console. no question about that.
i only want to say that when the checkboard rendering technique used properly , it can produce great results.

[slasaru01]

How Can it Be sharper if the resolution is lower?

[Babadook7]

Because of a different form of antialiasing that prioritizes sharpness to smoothness. It’s a matter of taste as to which is better.

[BLAKHOODe]

No denying the XboneX version. I'd still buy the game on PS4 first for PSVR support.

[King Nezz]

See, this is a real comment. You note the X version, but would prefer the PS4 version because you want the VR experience. Other people would say, "I'll go with the PS4 version because... ummm, Sony #1."

[BLUEKNIFE]

This analysis is pointless, this game is meant to be play in VR for the DEFINITIVE experience, and there is only one place to do it!, it is call PSVR

[81BX]

Lol psvr

[chaos-emeralds]

Funny how the base xbox one is left out of every article now. Is it because its total crap.

[TheUndertaker85]

“Capcom targets 1080p on the regular consoles, but for the standard Xbox One, this causes a problem, with the game struggling to deliver anything like a consistent 60 frames per second. The X addresses two issues then, with the new patch delivering massively improved pixel counts and restoring performance to what it should be.”

“The best comparison point for this is the base Xbox One - seeing as the Pro runs at a smooth 60fps already. The Xbox One X has everything to prove, next to the circa-50fps reading you get on the base Xbox in many scenes. The enhanced console has offers a big boost here. Even with its resolution boost, Xbox One X runs beautifully at 60fps, bringing its performance level almost entirely into line with the PlayStation 4 versions of the game.”

“In truth, both run well on an ultra HD screen - the big news here is the profound improvement over the standard Xbox One: users of Microsoft hardware finally get a great, super-smooth rendition of RE7 that brings the experience up to par with the PlayStation 4 version, and in some respects beyond.”

[Kiwi66]

Yet the Xbox One is mentioned in the video so thats not exactly being left out in every article

[windblowsagain]

Very close.

x has higher quality shadows and native rez.
But not by much. Checkerboard or not Pro has sharper visuals with slightly less quality shadows.

I'd say both win out.

But 4.2tf vs 6TF.

[senis_kenis]

So 44% resolution increase and lower performance is big boost now. but non of it matters, because the only way to play this game is vr, so xox is useless for this game. And xbonex is a soup fest.

[UKRsoldja]

By lower performance you mean a one time dip to 57 fps? Lmao, trolls..

[Babadook7]

They only test a few parts. Not the whole game.

[Bhai]

Nah senis_kenis... my reason would be VR...
"PlayStation's excellent VR support remains a highlight - and it's functionality that obviously Microsoft can't provide." ... Eurogamer

That's the megaton difference to begin with ;)

[kevnb]

the x isnt better enough to justify the price difference and all the games that are skipping xbox these days.

[SixFragz]

It's okay my PS4 brothers...

Let the Microsoft droids and Xbone drones relish in their very slight, benign victory. See you exbawks drones? I'm looking out for you guys too.

[polow got sol]

Might have to pick this up on my new shiny one x, man that thing surely is capable.

[Bhai]

Yup with added price and a whole year of extra 'Sony' observation and development hehehe but again:
"PlayStation's excellent VR support remains a highlight - and it's functionality that obviously Microsoft can't provide."... Eurogamer

^^^ Hahaha xb1x still missing the greatest graphical difference! ;) ...

[goldwyncq]

I smell some really insecure and delusional fanboys here...

[Profchaos]

You can bump the graphics as high as you like on any other device but VR support is the games true appeal it's absolutely incredible and makes the game almost to scary to play

[Bhai]

So the definitive console edition is still the PS4 version ??? :O ... that's mega impressive!!!

Moreover from the article: "PlayStation's excellent VR support remains a highlight - and it's functionality that obviously Microsoft can't provide" ...

WOWZAAA @That!

[Wotbot]

X version wins hands down

[Xavi4K]

as always Play better on Xbox one X
