That's almost accurate except that going from 1440p to 900p isn't going to double the fps. If a game runs at the exact same graphics settings on ps5 at 1440p/30fps they would have to scale it down all the way to 720p to hit 30fps on Series S. And if a game would be 1080p on ps5, they would need to drop it to 540p on Series S. The Switch might be able to get away with 540p but that's because it's a handheld. On a 55 inch tv it would look like a giant smudge and there's just no way MS would allow developers to release 720p or even 540p games on their "next gen" console. They will likely target 1080p on Series S, cut visual fidelity in half across the board so it can run on 4Tflops, and we'll be playing the same games on Series X at native 4k and checkerboard 4k on ps5. This is why I pray to the gaming gods that this whole Lockhart thing is not real. Now of course you could lower some graphics settings on pc. However, console games don't have graphics settings because they are completely optimized for the specific hardware. Therefore, they tend not to use rendering effects that are too expensive with a relatively small gain in visuals. |
You keep talking about 1440p 30fps. Most devs will push 1800-2160p at the framerate the genre needs on ps5 and xsx.
