I honestly do think DF has a slight bias towards Xbox.
I think you deserve to get critised if your work shows that (instances of bias).
DF make themselves out to be a trusthworthy source of pure technical analyses, and they arnt always.

Thats not to say its okay to harrash them on twitter.
However DF make a liveing off of fanning the flames of the console wars.

also this is twitter, you could say water is wet, and you would still have people get angry at you.

They don’t favour MS. They do some of the most fair analysis of that kind. What you call their bias is in fact yours, not theirs. Sometime, the analysis just don’t go the way you wish it did.

Also Xbox Series S does support Raytraceing (DF said it didn't) (or choose not to show it).

Apparently, you need to correctly download the right file packs to get the Ray Traced shadows to appear in game. Digital Foundry incorrectly stated in their video that RT isn’t available in the Series S version, however that just isn’t true. Here’s a source for downloading the packs: https://youtu.be/Ke3cB8yJOD8

And here’s some gameplay of a mission showing Ray Traced shadows at the very beginning of the mission from the helicopter: https://youtu.be/4_0Lmt6qEKA

Compare the last video with the footage Digital Foundry had, I think it’s clear they don’t have the correct files downloaded, which would be understandable considering there’s a bug preventing someone from downloading all the files correctly (apparently). Hopefully they make a updated video, or maybe someone can tweet at them about it? Regardless Ray Tracing is there. Also, there’s also a “HD Texture” pack as well that can be downloaded. If Digital Foundry checks out this thread, please download that as well. Thanks!"   -CITY_F0X

DF might not be useing HD texture pack (on one or both?), and forgot to download Raytraceing pack for the Xbox series S.

1. XSX = Mean frame rate 60 FPS | 16.67 ms at 99.99%
2. PS5 = Mean frame rate 59.99 FPS | 16.67 ms at 99.96%

120 FPS mode:

1. XSX = Mean frame rate 114.93 FPS | 8.33 ms at 91.9%

Statistically theres a 0.04% (4/100ths of a %) differnce, in which holds 60fps better.

Do you get that from watching the DF video?
Or do they cherry pick the probably only 2 instances where PS5 runs worse than the XSX in the game and show that? (which could be bug related)

You wouldn't think both run almost constant 60fps from watching the DF video.

Here is 16mins of gameplay footage with both at locked 60fps:

Watch that and tell me if you think DF are being fair in their reporting.

People should be allowed to question, sources if theres issues with reporting.

the fact that everyone is quick to jump onto a bandwagon and go "DF isnt baised, anyone that says so is", and post meme's or tries to make fun of people, instead of debateing the issue (when I actually replied with stuff thats questionable).

All is in the eye of the beholder:

That cow is just eating the grass on the other side that is tastier than what is on its side.

"all is in the eye of the beholder"

No its not, you litterally quoted my entire debate points (when someone asked me why I think DF was biased).
Then cut it out (ignored it), and instead of debateing the points in it.
You mocked with a meme.

Thats pretty darn clear cut.

The cow doesn't seem dead. The person probably took the pic before rescuing it.

Hesitated quoting this because the quote tree is so massive, but that's very interesting. I have seen people claiming bias on N4G in the past, but don't know enough about the situation to comment on it.

To give the spreadsheet; You see that the advantage was marginal (and VGTech tested the same areas and seem like before a patch it was always 60fps, after patch it can drop some times, so that advantage may not really exist to Xbox). But when watching the videos when Xbox is coming behind it is justification time, when PS is coming behind it is "it is weaker so expected". For me that is they coping with their own preconceived notion that Xbox is stronger and trying to explain the game not showing it like a cognitive dissonance.

LOL! Hard not to mock someone when he sees a cow standing on its back legs, with its neck still held strongly above ground and think it died a “gruesome death”. xD If it was dead, the wire wouldn’t be strong enough to hold the weight of the cow one feet above ground like that.

I dont know animals... what can I say? its eyes are closed, its tongue is outta its mouth and it appears to be resting its face on the grass.
After looking at it more, yes, I agree with your point, its probably not dead.

And yes I seriously thought it was dead, when I first saw that pic.

*also to be fair to DF:

1) they say they did download the Raytraceing package for the XSS, but it doesnt show the option to use it in game for them.
2) They actually came out and commented on the performance drops the PS5 had, saying it could be a bug.

The instances they showed where it drops in video on the PS5 side, but not on the XSX, could actually be this bug.
Potentially a thing a patch can fix, if its not something thats "always" there, but just randomly pops up from time to time.
