With the release of "Metal Equipment Δ: Snake Eater", the performance comparison of multi-platforms shows that there are significant differences in performance and image quality between PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.While this remake presents a classic sneak adventure with modern image quality, analysis shows that the standard version of PS5 can provide the most stable gaming experience.
On PS5 and Xbox Series X, players can choose "Quality Mode" and "Performance Mode" to weigh the visual effects and smooth frame rate.The PS5 Pro and Xbox Series S only offer a single display mode.The Xbox Series S version has significantly reduced lighting, reflection and shadows, while the PS5 Pro tries to improve picture quality while maintaining 60 frames, but this results in a significant reduction in internal rendering resolution and unstable performance.
The key problem is that Sony's PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution Technology (PSSR) is not well adapted, which is similar to the problems that occur in Unreal Engine 5 games such as the "Silent Hill 2" remake.Evaluators pointed out that the current version of PS5 Pro performance is not even as good as the standard version of PS5, which is abnormal for enhanced hardware models.
The performance mode comparison further highlights the platform differences: the PS5 version will significantly reduce the lighting effect, while the Xbox Series X version is closer to its image quality mode level but has flickering artifacts.The PS5 has obvious advantages in terms of reflection effects, and its performance mode has a reflection clarity far exceeding the Xbox Series X, whose reflection quality is close to the Xbox Series S level.
Overall, the standard version of PS5 achieves the most stable operation effect, and is better than the Xbox Series X and PS5 Pro in overall stability.It can be seen that the PS5 Pro version urgently needs optimization and adjustment, especially the need to add alternative super resolution solutions such as FSR or TSR, and be equipped with high-resolution dedicated performance modes that match their functions.
