I addressed the architectural differences between the base PS4 and base XB1. Those differences do not exist when it comes to the X1X and PS4Pro as I stated before. The major architectural difference between the XB1 and PS4 was the memory setup. PS4 has a unified GDDR5 setup. XB1 has DDR3 and embedded ESRAM on the GPU. The X1X has the same exact memory setup as the PS4 and PS4 PRO. It has a unified pool GDDR5. The difference being their 50% more of it and has 50% more bandwidth than the PS4 Pro and nearly 100% more than the base PS4.
The Frostbite engine has been on running on Direct X/Windows since before the PS4 was even in existence. Nothing but a lack of optimization explains the lacking performance. Mass Effect Andromeda is on the same engine and was developed by Biowareâs now defunct âBâ Team in Montreal. It runs better on X1Xthan PS4 Pro. Not only that, Bioware Edmonton has been working on Frostbite since Dragon Age Inquisition.
My X1X is basically a $500 doorstop. That has nothing to do with hardware and everything to do with a lack of software. I mean the console uses less power than the PS4 Pro, is smaller, quieter, and more powerful.
Anthemâok, FINALLY I got in there to have some fun playing as the colossus. Itâs great once you realize certain things and get acclimated to the controls.
This demo is quite unreliable though⌠I had an awesome good time in a mission just now with some random folks; we destroyed some spider-mech looking bossâŚI got 2 ultimates off on that sumbitch⌠âŚand then of course it froze on the mission rewards screen, and suddenly Iâm back on the xbox dashboard.
âŚbut holy shit the damageâŚthe gorgeous explosions the colossus is bringing to the table⌠and this is just at level 10 now 11 in a demo, with some shitty gear. I imagine this becomes an absolute monster once fully leveled up and equipped with good stuff.
Nah, having to use weapons that you dont like and/or are not familiar with is a good part of the game. Keeps you on your toes and teaches you how to play in a number of ways.
Dead Cells is my GOTY for whatever year it came out.
Ive never felt punished for unlocking anything in Dead Cells. I do agree that some of the weapons suck but if you change up your play style they can work pretty damn well. I mean, my preferred gear is a fast sword, bow and endless quiver, wolf trap, and that thing that looks like it shoots shovel heads. But I donât always get that setup so I have to adjust to make what I do have work for me.
Well at least that is good. It did seem that there is less ammo and stuff so far. I just thought it would maybe be something completely different, not that youâre in the same place as Leon and just not crossing paths.
