Some real official Series X gameplay in Dirt 5:

Looks pretty good, definitely impressed with the graphics in the high fidelity mode. However the Era thread points out the game looks bad sometimes in a couple of the modes and suffers from a lot of issues like shadow pop-in.

Here's the 4K quality mode:




4K performance mode:




1440p 120fps mode:




iirc all these modes are available on PS5 too.

i really can't see the shadow pop-ins ect.  all i can see is the 16 and 10 second load times.   horrible stuff there.

Think the shadow pop in was from other videos, there's a lot of previews that went up.

Yeah loading screens of 5 seconds+ just shouldn't be a thing on next gen, its a clear sign of a game that's not been developed for next gen first.

well, it will be interesting to see what the ps5 numbers are.  maybe it's half or less on ps5 since ps5 has the faster SSD and is better architected for getting data off of the SDD.  the load time wasn't "terrible".  just a lot worse than i would have expected considering load times is such a huge part of the current marking for next gen games.

Unboxing the Xboxing.
i never understood why people want to see an unboxing video.  it's just packaging and we already know "what's included" for a long time time.  it's just dumb...

...and yes.  of course i watched it.

Unboxing your own console is one of the most exciting things, I don't want to be spoiled with a shaming video!

Some BC issues. Still a month left to fix this stuff but it's surprising.
