[4K] Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom PS4/PS4 Pro vs PC Graphics Comparison + Frame-Rate Test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Level 5 returns with a superb JRPG outing, reprising its hallmark Studio Ghibli style. A PC version is up for grabs this time, giving plenty of options for enhancing the experience over console - though PS4 Pro does a commendable job with its own native 3200x1800 presentation.

Finally devs see 1080p 60fps as the goal
That's always the goal, it's just hard when players demand better visuals and the devs are stuck working with hardware from 2013.
Venom Walla If the resolution is below 1080p, it should be dynamic (from 900-1080p) and the game should be 60 fps. If the game is 30 fps, it should maintain that target, provide a good motion blur and be a locked 1080p on the OG ps4. It's 2013 hardware but it's nearly as powerful as the GTX 760.
Alex I not really. There was a survey on steam with majority having an actual quad core or an i3 atleast with 8 GB ram and GPU performance little worse than 750 ti.
Yellow Flash well the GPU of the ps4 is actually closer to a 750 ti or gtx 660
760 is a bit more powerful I think
ps4 is close to either an underclocked 760 or a massively overclocked 750 ti. I know games are optimised specifically for consoles but still judging by the games nowadays we can easily say ps4 is more powerful that 750 ti. It may be less powerful than 760 but not alot.
I'm actually totally fine with the performance on the standard PS4. Near 60fps, with it regularly hitting that target at 1080p is a pretty good showing.
Ozziw162 Well the vast majority of people have a base PS4, so surely the performance of that version is the most important!
This game is a sight to behold and has a beautiful soundtrack,also the story is as charming as it gets,,,,10/10.
This game is the best JRP-EG I've played in a long, long time. The visuals are only the icing on the cake!
Oh wow, I didn't expect the cell shading to look flatter on pc. On ps4 rounded edges still have a slightly more 3d look.
When I grew up I remember being completely stunned at how amazing Dragon's Lair looked, I thought wow, a video game that looks just like a cartoon! That was 1984, but here we are only 34 years later and now we really do have video games that look just like a cartoon, except for they're a video game and not just an interactive laser disc.
Your statement is oddly backwards, because Dragon's Lair didn't look like a cartoon, it _was_ a cartoon. It was created by Don Bluth who made many animated films around the same time such as The Land before Time, The Secret of NIMH, etc.
Gonna play on pc but I wouldn't mind playing it on my ps4 because of 60fps. Two very good ports.
I just upgraded my PC, but I went for the Pro version because it got the Day-1 version for around $45. Luckily, both versions are apparently great. It certainly looks beautiful on my OLED with 1800p, HDR, and the superb artistry. I haven't enjoyed this type of game this much for a long time, too. It reminds me a bit of my experience with Dragon Quest VIII a few years back when everything I saw made me smile.
AKSBSU If you haven't played persona 5, it's a fantastic jrpg. Only thing that sucks is that it runs at 30 fps even though it's on the ps3. Still a great game and a great looking game thanks to the art style though. Anyway I just hope more ps4 games run at 60fps in the future.
I have P5. I keep hoping they'd do some sort of upgrade for the Pro (not expecting the game the rebuilt obviously; I'd just like a better frame rate or minor res boost), but it looks like they have no intention to do anything with it.
Still waiting for that performance mode on Witcher 3 for PS4 Pro. Come on CDPR, dont forget about it!
Osvaldo Castanon And the inventory bug fix. I've been waiting since December. 😢
just wish the original was on pc or atleast ps4
RPCS3 is your best bet atm, need to wait at least a year maybe before its good to play from beginning to end but yh.
daAmazin FatB0y yeah ive tried it and its not the best but ill try it again. at this point im just gonna play it on ps3
Kamikazi Lucas PS Now!
ps3 emulator is working this game will be playable on 4k with it if you have right hardware
Kamikazi Lucas lets hope they release a remastered version for ps4 and pc🧐 maybe next year
I'm surprised it was only dropping to 50fps while traversing the overworld. Anecdotally it felt like a significant framerate drop.
Constantly 50-60fps at 3200x1800p, with the average leaning towards 57-60, and no frame pacing/stutter or screen tear, with equivalent highest PC texture settings? That's a pretty damn good showing.
Only truly woke grown-ups consistently show up to tech analysis videos to whine about console exclusives
Bobert Daniels Anyone who says woke in that fashion should be shot.
That's not how you use the word WOKE
I own a switch did own a Xbox one but I sold it now. I want to buy a ps4 for this game and God of war.
Jeeses99 thanks! And I definitely will I'm just busy playing bayonetta 2 botw xenoblade chronicles 2 and stardew valley switch:D
Why're you Blue and not Azure?
Running on PC 1440p with max settings at 120 fps. Using 1080ti I can tell the difference from running it on my PS4 Pro but with the 120fps there will be a difference anyways.
Nice PC still getting Games. Whether its Dragonball FighterZ, Sea of Thieves, Ni No Kuni 2, or Far Cry 5 if you stick to One console you're missing out. Gaming is looking just as good as Last year around this time.
Life and Time Podcast PS4 is enough. Maybe a Switch. There’s nothing worth it on XBox sadly
Sea of thieves is crap....and all the other games you listed are on ps4. That was a horrible analogy lol.
hey all, have you guys seen the videos out there, where people mod their brand new PS4 PRO's by wiring the fan to full power all the time and improving the cooling with better thermal compound and pads.
Do you think that would help with the PRO's occasional hiccup at 4k and is the PRO thermal throttling at these resolutions?
Would make a good video i think, comparing one of these modded PRO's, to a stock PS4 Pro......
What do you guys think?
Adam Mann Why is that needed? My pro doesn't seem to have any cooling issues.
These consoles don't thermal throttle. They drop frames due to cpu, gpu or bandwidth issues.
damn good analysis chap
Just to inform my PS4 mates here:
*April PS Plus Offers:* Mad Max and TrackMania Turbo 😊
Peter Chaves nice!...I've always wanted to play track mania
The Truth Hurts , same with me! 😊 I was always curious to play it, looks great and extremely funny, but never wanted to buy it instead of other games.
... And Mad Max, OMG. Great, great game from what i've read and saw, very underated.
- - , no problem! It's all over the web now 😊 Another great month to every PS4 owners
Peter Chaves You mean games the Xbox user had got a few months ago meanwhile there getting assassin Creed syndicate and Dead Space 2
beast ICY , i just don't follow Xbox monthly offers actually, only PS Plus, so i didn't know what you said 😓
"FighterZ dropped the frame rate" I think you misunderstand how Arc does that effect. The animations are rendered at lower frames- NOTHING else. Game logic, hitboxes etc are full speed. This game could've used that effect. Didn't Ni No Kuni 1 do it?
How does the game runs on pc if your lower the setting to console level ? They need to make more tests
HDR works in PC too which is the first game for me.
Utterly love this game so far even if it isn't *quite* as charming or as good as the original on PS3.
The combat might be a bit easy and visually it might look like it's aimed at kids but I find its beautiful graphical style, endearing characters, good-natured, somewhat innocent and naïve story and varied gameplay (including RTS elements and puzzles) to all gel together superbly to create a really enjoyable and supremely memorable experience.
It's also very polished IMO and runs great too at 4K on my GTX 1080 Ti at above 60 fps on maxed out SMAA T2X setting on my 165 Hz G-SYNC display (if it has dropped below that then I certainly have not noticed or felt it).
The PS4 Pro version is excellent too although the 4K mode does feel surprisingly choppy at times even though this video shows the game holding near 60 fps for most of the time. The misleadingly named Standard Definition mode (which I thought meant 480p, ha!) runs much better and to be honest doesn't look that much different on a 40" 1080p TV. The not-quite 4K mode does look noticeably softer/blurrier when compared directly with the PC though but that's not surprising except that I actually thought the 4K mode was native on the Pro. Makes me wonder if a native 4K mode would have been doable with a 30 fps lock?
The visuals in the Cloud Canyon area do take a hit, but it's because there are no loading screens in that whole area. So it dumped all of it at the player in real time!
That's weird. Im running ryzen5 1600 @3,9ghz with 1080ti and have had no trouble keeping 4k high/60fps
Mikko Levänen ohh boy a ryzen 5 1600 with a 1080ti, do you even bottleneck bro😂😂😂
Mikko Levänen I have a Vega 64 and a Ryzen 1700x clocked at 3.6 GHz and I was able to keep this game at LOCKED 4K 60fps
Mustafa Dudhwala why would it bottleneck. It's a wierd combo, but definitely no bottleneck there
Do you even PC bro? 1600 is there with i7 6800k with performance and i´m going for 4k/60fps so why would I need more perf from Cpu?
Mikko Levänen confounding variables mate. Could be RAM, or any other part of your system versus DF's.
Yeah, silly to say a 1600 is a bottleneck at 4k lol. Fanboys are cute lol
This game is really demanding. Fan on my Pro always runs. It usually runs for a minute or when loading occurs. Beautiful game are really fun to play. 10/10.
Did... did he just say "ten hundred"? 😂😂
Chris Breame Can...can you not speak English? 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
I don t think later in the game is the frame rate stable on the ps4 pro. Later are more than 12 enemies in one combat and much more spells.
I'm currently running this game at 1080p 144+ fps with Max settings with what I believe to be an enthusiast PC.
i7-6700k
GTX 1080ti
32 GB Ram
I LIKE HOW YOU GUYS PUT windows 10 LOGO.
How did i missed this title. I get it on pc for full 4k experience but it looks also great in pro. But first gonna play part one of it.
Best part about some PS4 exclusives that are also on PC is that they don't require windows 10, unlike Microsoft does for Xbox One exclusives. I hate dirty cheap tactics that force that shitty scamming trojan infested OS to the consumer.
I love this game so much, I wish I had more time to play it!
Not heard of the game before but it looks like my kind of game, will have to check it out some more.
Please, could you add a benchmark for the 1060 or the most used GPU in steam at the moment in this kind of videos?
That way the average PC player can benefit from it too.
guimblon Sorry mate, it's rare for DF to cover base consoles let alone average PC setups.
I have a 1060 6GB, and I'd imagine it can handle this at 1080p.
Pc version also has native Dualshock 4 support. I always like that in games these days.
Please do A Way Out!!!!! I'd love to see the difference between PC and Xbox One. I bought it on Xbox One because all my friends are on Xbox but I'd really rather play it on my gaming PC. Would love to see if it's worth it!
The beginning of this game has more content than Sea of Flops.
Hugo Azevedo you are comparing two totally different games. One game is a single player jrpg game where the other is a multiplayer game that's going to have constant updates with new content every few months.
Love this game it’s just missing charm. Production value and voice acting
Gosh that game is pure gorgeous
You can't fly a dragon around anymore ?
1080p is Standard Definition now?
Morgan Whaley It's the "standard" for most gamers, console and pc. A small percentage play at 1440p and above.
why would they call 1080p mode "SD"? SD is 480p.
lostn65 Standard Definition refers to 1080p as being the standard that most people play at on game consoles and pcs.
I soon dropped to Standard Definition. It ran choppy as hell on 4K.
Surely they mean 1800p checkerboarding, no way it's 1800p native.
Eddu Pastelle Yes, it checkerboards to 1800p then upscales to 2160p.
I can hardly tell the difference between the two. The gap between PC visual fidelity and console is closing. It used to be like night and day back in the PS3 and earlier era. Also, I had plenty of framerate issues on the PC version (unless a 980Ti isn't strong enough for this game maxed out lol) whereas the console version is smooth as butter.
Seriously theses difference are so little its like it doesnt matter what you play it on.
Love the game it’s so charming and colorful and on the shorter side instead of 80+ hrs of grinding
So, approximately how many hours does it take to finish it? Something like Chrono Trigger's or Paper Mario's length would be great.
SP from what I heard main game is 40-50hrs
Ok. I can live with that. I'm currently going through the 2nd South Park game. Once I'm done with that, I'll look into this one. Thanks, Mone.
That's good! I am thinking about getting it even more... ^^
Quality over mediocre story, voice acting, game play mechanics and "grinding"
wow, 1800p at 60fps. not bad at all.
Better than Sea of Poop lol
ResistanceForever agreed.
50 to 60 fps
For a cartoon styled game it wouldn't have been hard to achieve.
Agreed. Wayyy better than sea of shit
I'm loving the game so far and it is pretty well optimized for PC. Please guys support Level-5, they did an amazing job!
This sequel was very eagerly awaited by people like me who liked 1st game..
never played the first, do I need to play it first or it's barely related?
Zahin Tan Don't worry,its barely related.. I liked the original game very much.. Very cute characters and awesome story with great game play.. So can't wait to play this sequel...
cool, I'll be sure to try it when it goes on sale or something...
How are you finding it?
About 10 hours in myself, I cant pretend it holds a candle to the first one, still a good game but I cant help but feel let down by it.
ldjg2002 I have ordered from Amazon.. It's expected to arrive by Friday.. Then only I can tell if it matches up to 1st game or not.. But maybe you expected too much from the game because 1st part was awesome.. Happens when we have too much expectations.. Play the full game though, you will like it.. Happy playing..
This game is beautiful on all platforms
even Switch? :P
The 4K mode seems to be locked at 60 FPS on PS5
Thats awesome! I want to get the game as it's on sale 😊
Good to know!
The game looks beautiful and love the artstyle
Going to buy it thanks Digital Foundry !!
w8ing for this
gr8 b8 m8
No mention of HDR that feature is way underrated 😒
Jose Sediles this game is so bright and beautiful is doesn't need HDR.
I'm playing it with HDR, and it definitely looks superior than with SDR.
Jose Sediles playing here on pc with a 55inch 4k oled HDR the HDR is nice makes it more vibrant.
The Truth Hurts the game does support HDR, weird they didn’t mention anything
The Truth Hurts every game benefits from HDR lol. I actually thought HDR was a gimmick until I just recently bought an LG OLED and now I’m full on board with HDR. It’s incredible and makes a very real difference
I just love this kind of Videos. Thank you very much for doing them DigitalFoundry!
sounds like Tom is having a sorethroat :o
Looks like he missed analyzing the skirmish battles. I'd love to see how PS4 holds up to those.
beautiful game, one of the best this year.
So awesome to have this beautiful game on the PC.
TheMusic4Soul now I want the first game on steam
Who Dat Ninja if the second sells enough the first game might get ported. Also we get the new dragon quest
My fairly modest PC setup is running this at 1080 60fps locked with max settings.
i5-6600
GTX 1050 Ti
12gb RAM
Very pleased with the performance so far!
upgrade your gpu
Does me fine thanks
Same here. i5 4460, GTX 770, 16GB still 1080/60. What a beautifully optimized game.
That is a crazy suggestion right now.
1050ti is still a very decent budget gpu :)
Would have really been nice to see a frame rate graph for PC, as well as what settings affect performance. Nobody has gone into a full PC analysis yet of this game, was hoping you guys woild scrarch that itch. Maybe make a PC performance piece? 😁
Played today on my PS4 Pro.
The anti-aliasing is very poor except for the cutscenes, the characters' borders are jaggy as hell!
Thanks for this comparison. I'm pleased with the results of the PS4 Pro support that LEVEL 5 has achieved. 1800p and 60 FPS is great.
Ps4 = White blur.
Ps4 Pro = Less White blur.
PC = No White blur + More Details in every way possible.
Someone came down with a cold.
Has anyone anyone else taken issue with the lilliputian text size?
"Ten hundred"
I wish this game was harder... I just like having difficulty in my games. And so far it’s no where to be found.
Been playing it on Pro in 4K mode with HDR. It looks beautiful and runs great.
Tom is sounding kind of stuffed up
The game will age well because of its art style
Hang in did you actually just complain about the framerate being TOO HIGH!?
We need DOOM PS4 vs DOOM 4k on PS4 Pro with the new patch
Weebo rubbish
Would appreciate if you guys could show PC at 1080p as well. 4K *is* nice. But 80-90% of us run with a 1080p monitor.
And yet Valkyria Chronicles is lower than 1800p (probably) and only 30 FPS! Really Sega?
WHY??
This game proves that a game like VC4 - that looks less complex - should run at 4K 60fps on PS4 PRO (at least 1800p/1400p at 60fps).
I don't have NNK2 yet, by the way.
this and dragon quest announced for September with voice overs, love u PlayStation! (and pc)

Thank you for all you do Digital Foundry. Keep up the good work. I hope this gets resolved real soon. But I know I can't be the only one with this problem.
That Darth Vader reference at the end
I've been eagerly awaiting this analysis video. Thanks for the research and presentation!
Tom suffering from a bit of man-flu eh
Guys the game is £6.71 in UK PS store now. A bargain. Get it asap before the offer runs out on early January. (27/12/2020)
May not be perfect 60fps but the devs at least tried and I won't fault them for that.
Does it have DualShock 4 icons on PC? Or actual DualShock 4 support on PC?
Currently the game came out on Nintendo Switch and I'm a big fan of hand-held mode
The game looks so beautiful but on overworld the game runs about 20 or 25 FPS, It's had been difficult and seems so weird, I hope a new patch of performance but we're on begins of 2023 and I won't think that thing happens:(
Maybe there are new updates but I've the 1.10
Greetings from guatemala and your video was very helpfully
Please do Attack on Titan 2 please on All platforms
Why didn't you talk about the HDR mode though. Is it good?
The PC port probs doesn't deserve much praise, a GTX 1060 should be able to pull off at least equal results to a PS4 Pro in almost any setup, but here it's marginal improvements over the PS4 experience. To be fair, the PS4 version is impressive at least
e: I love how grainy the environments look in contrast to the clean Ghibli-style character models, it's evocative of the CG style that is often used in anime and it's used with some moderation.
e2: it's weird that the PC version's high preset defaults to standard SMAA. I feel like that was an accident, they surely meant to make it default to SMAA T2x?
First of all I suggest not using the built in framelock because with a 1080ti I got framedrops all the time. Unlock the framerate and use V-Sync or a framelock with something like nv inspector. Also on PC there are a lot of people that get framedrops for no reason. If you open the taskmanager and go to details you can give the game a higher than normal priority which will get rid of the framedrops.
Absolutely adoring this game so far
if the first ninokuni is a 8, then ninokuni 2 is a 3, this game has nothing to compare with the first, gameplay is from mobile gaming, and the story is nowhere to be found, every step in the story is stretched in time by mobile like mechanics, like "mother base" in mgs 5, to stretch the time you have to endure the boredom of not having any story or thing to do...
extremely disapointed by this game, the name is just a cash grab and has nothing to do with the first game in the final.Miss all what made the first game great.
What about HDR support on PC?!?!?!? Why no information about that?? Come on guys.
I didn't like it at 4k on ps4pro due to these frame rate drops which were drastic specially in goldpaw and open world segments. Changed it to standard mode and now the gameplay is as fluid as it gets and it's much more enjoyable.
Do a Wipeout VR tech analysis by far the best looking game in VR with 3 games to boot and all content in VR. Free update shows again why Xbox is getting crushed.
why does it take so much to get 4k/60 out of this? games with this kind of graphics style usually aren't demanding
looks like a cool game and all but i didn't play the last one so i probably won't have any idea what's going on
So, this is Windows 10 Store UWP shite?
no more gaming for a while gpu ded
I really don't get why a dev would target PCs and not Xbox at this point. So similar to develop for...
Sheppo Because Japanese games historically sell poorly on XBOX that's likely why.
Hey! Don’t bash spirited away
