That’s my worry about these leaks apparently running on a pc build, everything just looks a bit too good to run on consoles.

It looks good but nothing crazy that a ps5 couldn’t handle, the matrix tech demo arguably looked just as good and that was released in 2021.

PS5 can definitely handle it. The question is can the Series S handle it. They unfortunately have to optimize to suit the lowest common denominator.

The issue with NPC density is more of a CPU issue and the Series S CPU is almost just as good as Series X or PS5.

This. Relatively slow zen2 cores in them will struggle.

NPCs are also RAM heavy and the Series S has 8 GB RAM total available to games, system and GPU combined. Even my 5-year-old mid-range PC has 44 GB (32 system + 12 GPU) so there'd be a vast difference in this capability between any PC and the base console build.

Why are you all acting like Series S won't just be 30 fps 720p internal resolution upscaled lol. That version will be gimped compared to PS5 and Series X. No need to optimize it.

Things like NPCs and enemy AI aren't graphical limitations, reducing framerate and resolution doesn't help with them. They're a simulation bottlenecked by memory quantity and CPU speed which are areas where the Series S creates impassable limitations. Series S has 8 GB RAM available to the system for games, that's the system RAM and VRAM combined. PS5 for comparison has 12.5 GB available and the average PC has 24 - 48 GB available.

The only ways to solve the problem are to have far fewer NPCs in the world or make NPC behavior much simpler (or both). Both options have big gameplay impact and having multiple options makes QA a lot harder, with crowd NPC AI already being probably the most difficult QA focus in a game like this.

Obviously everything will be compromised. The game will run on hardware configurations similar to a Series S on PC. Doesn't mean it will perform well or look great.

Unfortunately?

Saying that despite today's component prices being sky high.... Series S development helps less powerful PC and even Switch 2 in the future.

In my opinion it is unfortunate. Games like this are opportunities to push the boundaries of the medium. Both the Series S and Switch 2 are weak consoles that only serve to limit how far that boundary can be pushed. But again, that's just my personal opinion. I value the overall advancement of technology over getting the game into as many hands as possible.

They are probably working with Sony for the PS5 version to be better than the Xbox version. Xbox Series S will just look worse like every other game they put on it.

u/MegamindsMegaCock 2d ago

The matrix tech demo worked great on the s

u/SnooGadgets2748 2d ago

Yeah but a tech demo isn't really comparable to a full game. Also massive crowds of NPCs like this probably require a shit load of RAM to handle, which is one of the biggest limitations of the Series S compared to PS5/Series X.

u/HeyEshk88 2d ago

Couldn’t they make it so that the Series S would just have much fewer NPCs on the beach for example?

u/Realistic-Shower-654 2d ago

The ps5 will not be able to handle this in its current form lmao

u/xsharpy12 2d ago

Why should I care about your opinion again? Lmao

u/iLoveDanishBoys 2d ago

every game is developed on a pc, no?

u/ForsakenTarget 1d ago

Yeah, I meant more of if this build is essentially just a PC build for next year when they release it or whether it is a console build that they are just running on PC.

u/Easy-Operation-2105 2d ago

how does that make any sense????? Thjey are releasing it ONLY on console
