Looks like the developer from Redout is angry at the bad analysis from Digital Foundry, the Xbox one X version scaled up to 90% of native 4k, where the ps4 pro version runs at a native 1080p, because of the resolution difference the framerate is unstable on the Xbox platform and the developer is looking in to this issue.
Originally however Digital foundry stated the Xbox version also ran on a native 1080p and they missed the resolution scaling, this made people sent angry tweets to the developer from the xbox fanbase and it got playstation fanboys to use the news to put a negative spin to the xbox platform. Overall the developer got in the middle of a "console poo slinging fest" and is condidering legal action against digital foundry.
Here are some quotes from the developer statement:
"Nicest part of a cloudy saturday morning? Waking up to a shitstorm raging upon you, based on what we can call incompetent technical analysis at best, fake news at worst."
"framerate and resolution, mentioning over and over that Redout shows a 1080p rendering for the Xbox One X version. This is a pure, straight lie. The Xbox One X got an enhancement update a couple of weeks ago which brings 4k rendering with dynamic resolution scaling to everyone (owners or not of 4k TV). More specifically, we managed to scale the resolution between 90% and 50% of native 4k, which means the resolution goes from the upper limit of 3456×1944 to the lower one of 1920×1080"
"We are currently looking into various ways to defend our public image. Not only because we dislike being called lazy or incompetent gratuitously, but also to send a message to the players and the industry. Gamedevs (indies especially) are amongst the most hard working people, to the point that burnout and crunch culture in game development are widespread. Really, just stop calling them lazy to the first hiccup. And don’t fabricate excuses for calling them lazy. Ok? Thank you."
