Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 - PS5 vs Xbox Series X/S - The DF Tech Review!

The new Warzone has arrived, and we're looking at native apps for the latest generation of consoles. The whole DF team combined to get simultaneous crossplay captures of every console, allowing us to present dynamic in-the-moment comparisons. We're looking at the current-gen machines in this first video, but we'll be returning to Warzone 2.0 to present all of our last-gen findings soon.

Amazing how we have gotten to a point that unfinished games are fully released so commonly that the game breaking bugs are now called "teething issues" and are considered normal...

Would love to know how the sharpening feature and FOV changes in consoles change the FPS count and fidelity. Please and thank you DF!

I would be very interested to see the 120FPS results in the traditional 6v6 MP on the consoles.

Great video, I had been waiting to see testing like this. I am on PS5 but genuinely impressed by the Series S. I have to admit, I am disappointed there was no testing done on a wider FOV between 110-120. Console players had been asking for FOV slider for years so that was a huge selling point with this game. Playing on 80 FOV seem outdated and more of an old console setting. Next gen users most likely won't be playing at 80 FOV.

Really love these analysis videos. I can tell an awful amount of work must go into putting them together. Looking forward to the next one to see how the previous gen consoles do. Keep up the great work guys !

Hopefully it gets FSR 2.1, I think the ghosting caused by the TAA is quite noticeable and we'll get a sharper image along with it.

Im so impressed. I have played this on a strong pc with rtx 3080 and 12700k and on ps5….i had a MUCH (!) smoother and more enjoyable experience on Playstation…thats crazy! You could argue that the pc-version is just poorly optimized, but the pc should run circles around the consoles…but the freezes, stutters and framedrops (70-160fps) mame the pc such a inconsistent experience, that i currently much prefer the PS5version…crazy.

We need more Tom! It feels like he's been working part-time for the last couple years. Would love to see him back on the podcast

Clever way to run the comparison using the spectator mode. Awesome breakdown!

I bought a PS5 and now I can play Black Ops 3 with no frame dips on zombies 4 player split screen

[phrozac]

Given the success of Warzone and IW's push into truly massive maps, I'd love to see COD's campaign mode expand to include Metro Exodus style sandbox levels. I feel like that's a great midpoint between COD's classic heavily scripted, linear singleplayer experience with the freedom of Warzone's open environment.

I wish there was a setting for how much motion blur is applied; sometimes it looks right, sometimes it looks like too much. Not complaining though, this is the best looking CoD so far, _in my opinion_

[tinyrogerts]

It looks great and plays great on my PS5 and LGCX in "120fps" mode. It's like the best of Blackout and Warzone combined.

[Jaap-Relou]

What still amazes me is the amount of pop-in on the newer consoles. Especillay since that was one of the selling-points of Sony for the PS5 and the SSD communication.

[CH-bnqb]

Playing this on PS5 on an A90J OLED with VRR looks incredible

[Ausnen]

8:20 that ghosting in the sight and and no mention? :O

[NyahNyum]

Would love to have a bf2042 tech review on pc now that season 3 brings better performance.

[FEWGEE]

I really wish you'd start adding timestamps to your videos.

[gatsuberserk]

One thing that i find strange is when we have the 3 way comparison you can see ghosting in the Series X I S footage but it is absent in the PS5 footage. You can see this ghosting at the 9:48 mark in the XBX footage if you look at the scope while it is paning over the water surface but it is absent in the PS5 side. You can see it even more clearly at the at the 15:39 mark if you watch the scope of the weapon, again, you see heavy ghosting.Why is that?

[SobotRex]

Can we please get a PC specific video on this game? The optimized settings/comparisons are always immensely helpful!!
