Generic PS4 Pro (1.09) vs Xbox One S (1.03) direct comparison

I just ran some identical laps side by side o the PS4 Pro (v1.09) and Xbox One S (v1.03) to see how much of a difference the latest patch makes. I know there are good reasons for the delay on Xbox and as a result this is the situation we have right now, two different versions of the console game.

The difference is night and day. I really wasn't expecting to see much of a change but the on screen visible differences in gameplay are huge.

Running the same laps side by side, in this case the McLaren P1 'ring lap Special Event, on each console the Xbox One version remains a stuttering mess. The issues vary from lap to lap although as before they are generally in the slower corners. The stutters are most visible when the kerbs seem to freeze and then move again. If the P1 starts to slide the problems become worse often meaning even the slightest slide is unrecoverable, slide......stutter....correction....crash anyway is often the result. There are also may other what the heck happened then moments when the on screen image doesn't match the steering input. This makes consistent simulation lapping as good as impossible. This remains a significant problem when the AI & multiplayer aspects of the game are so limited and as a result hot lapping is the main viable attraction.

By contrast the PS4 Pro latest version is smooth and consistent throughout the lap, minor slides are natural and easily recovered (just as they are on the pc). I haven't seen any visible stutter or slowdown in the frame rate yet. The PS4 version flows naturally and is a overall a good experience.

Looking at the positives the 5.6gb patch has made a significant difference on the PS4 and that is a good thing. I just hope we are going to see the same level of improvement on the Xbox One when the patch is finally released.

 

I've read reports about changes that worsened the degree of rotation in some wheels, in the same way it had been before the last 1.03 patch. Have you noticed anything?

 

Well, hats off to you, that you got all 3 versions and report back on them

 

No I saw the thread about that but I haven't noticed that.

 

Great. I could be happening only in certain cases or with some specific cars, though. But your answer is reassuring.

 

Small update: Hope that you never unlock an Achievement on Xbox One while you race, the frame rate drop is critical. This also applies to attempting any kind of recording during racing via the buttons, Kinect or Cortana (or any Cortana command!) which makes capturing the stutter difficult.

On the PS4 Trophy unlocks and recording haven't had any impact on the frame rate.

 

I already lost faith in a good working xbox version.
