You're telling me 30 to 60 fps isn't noticeable? Because you didn't list games like Destiny 2, Witcher 3, or Fallout 4, lmao.
Still, despite the limited scope of the PC version, it is by far and away the best version of the game available for that platform - even factoring in all of the Prepare to Die Edition mods.
Kingdom Come Deliverance on PC offers huge upgrades over console
It's a satisfying result and while the PC version still offers up the definitive Overwatch experience, this upgrade gives us the best take on the game available for consoles.
PlayStation 4 Pro goes one step further, essentially providing what amounts to a full 60fps lock in conjunction with improved image quality. It smoothes off the rough edges in terms of both performance and anti-aliasing and noses ahead as the best way to play the game on consoles. However, there's still the sense that we aren't getting value from the 2.3x improvement to GPU power that the Pro offers. And despite limiting itself to 1080p resolution, it still falls short visually compared to the fully maxed PC version of the game. Codemasters' Ego engine historically fares best on PC, and Dirt 4 continues the trend. Gameplay is solid on all systems, but it's the PC version that shows Codemasters' work at its best.
Indeed, Prey is a unique case where the PC version offers an experience so much more refined than the consoles that it harkens back to an era where PC versions of the same title felt very different - and often, much better. In many ways, Prey feels as if it were designed first and foremost as a PC game then ported downwards onto consoles. Very few studios pursue this strategy in today's console-first era, and for that reason, we urge you to check out the PC release if you have the opportunity. It really is tremendous.
Equally it's great to see a fully featured PC version available at launch, deploying the full force of Unreal Engine while retaining a console-level dynamic settings management system. The gameplay experience is solid on all systems, but PS4 offers significant visual upgrades over Xbox One, while Pro adds resolution and filtering enhancements. For those looking for the most visually rich Tekken 7 experience? PC is the way to go.
Of course, these issues aren't present on the PC, which features a vast modding community designing all kinds of interesting ways to expand upon the base game. Combined with the ability to play at 60fps and run at ultra-high resolutions, this version delivers the best overall package.
These are considerations that we don't have to make on the PC version, and with the scalable nature of the Frostbite engine, Battlefield 1 is well equipped to run smoothly across a wide range of hardware configurations, especially when the resolution scaler is utilised. The latest mid-range GPUs deliver a great experience at 1080p targeting 60fps, while 1440p and even 4K gaming is within reach - where DICE's top-notch technology simply looks sensational.
On these grounds, the PC original still stakes a claim as the definitive release, especially if performance is a priority. It's still the only way to play either game at a locked 60fps,
Rise of the Tomb Raider is exceptional on all platforms, but if you're looking for the definitive release, we'd still opt for the PC version
DF can notice. Why can't you? I could keep going for pages. Mind you some of that is against X1X, which is better than PRO.
