"Digital Foundry broke down the myth that the viral game footage could be bullshots when it sourced its own footage from the developers, with specified tech and all detail settings, showing the game still looking as extraordinarily beautiful as the earlier clips put out by Pearl Abyss. It was still on a very high-end machine, running at "Ultra" settings, and undeniably breathtaking, but it was demonstrably not requiring a quantum processor with terabytes of RAM."
"The PS5 and Xbox Series X will run at 1080p in Performance mode, aiming for 60 FPS with raytracing on "low," while in Quality only reaching an upscaled 4K at the cost of framerate, maxing out at 30. The Xbox Series S, meanwhile, will only be able to sputter out 720p in Performance, and scrape its way to 1080p at the very best."
Crimson Desert, Pearl Abyss's action-adventure spin-off from Black Desert Online, generated substantial hype through impressive PC footage, but console versions remained unshown until shortly before launch. Digital Foundry confirmed the PC visuals were authentic, captured on high-end hardware with Ultra settings. However, console specifications revealed significant performance gaps: PS5 and Xbox Series X target 1080p/60fps with low raytracing or upscaled 4K/30fps, while Xbox Series S manages only 720p/60fps or 1080p/30fps. The PS5 Pro achieves native 4K/30fps or upscaled 4K/60fps. These technical limitations explain the delayed console footage reveal, as the graphical downgrade from PC versions is substantial.
