It's console wars D-Day ladies and gentlemen. 慣用語

各位女士、各位先生，主機大戰的決戰日到了。

We've got both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series here in the studio.

我們工作室裡現在既有PlayStation 5，也有Xbox Series。

We've got all the launch games you care about

你關心的所有首發遊戲我們都有，

and we are running HDMI 2.0 into an 88-inch OLED TV.

It's time to put these consoles side by side

是時候把這些主機放在一起比較，

and see how they perform mano a mano. 用詞

Well, they're not human, but you get it.

We've already heard a ton about the super fast loading speeds on both next gen consoles

關於這兩款次世代主機超快的載入速度，我們已經聽過太多，

thanks to their SSDs.

這都要歸功於它們的SSD。

The Xbox Series X's SSD has a raw throughput of 2.4 gigabytes per second,

Xbox Series X的SSD原始吞吐量為每秒2.4GB，

while the PlayStation 5 more than doubles that to 5.5 gigabytes per second raw. 文法

而PlayStation 5則是它的兩倍多，達到了每秒5.5GB的原始吞吐量。

So you might expect the PS5 to beat the Xbox in every test by a wide margin, right? 講解

所以你可能會覺得，PS5在所有測試中都會大幅領先Xbox，對吧？

Well, hold on a minute. 語氣意圖

嗯，先等一下。

Both booting the consoles cold and waking them from sleep

無論是冷開機還是從睡眠模式喚醒主機，

are faster on the Xbox by a few seconds,

Xbox都要快上幾秒鐘，

and even when it comes to loading games,

甚至在載入遊戲時，

the consoles trade blows. 慣用語

兩台主機也是各有千秋。

In Assassin's Creed Valhalla,

在《刺客教條：維京紀元》中，

loading a game from the menu was a bit quicker on the Xbox,

從選單載入遊戲Xbox稍微快一點，

while in Dirt 5,

而在《大地長征 5》中，

the PlayStation 5 pulled ahead by a slight margin. 片語動詞

PlayStation 5則以微弱優勢領先。

And of course,

當然了，

if the game needs to connect to an online service

如果遊戲需要先連線到線上服務，

before dropping you back in,

然後再讓你進入遊戲，

that's going to inflate the load times no matter what console you're playing on. 文法

不管你用哪台主機，這都會增加載入時間。

If you're loading a game from a console sleep state though,

不過如果你從主機的睡眠狀態下載入遊戲，

the Xbox is always faster,

Xbox總是更快，

at least in our tests.

至少在我們的測試中是這樣。

It seems that the faster SSD on the PlayStation 5

看起來PlayStation 5上更快的SSD

might be being bottlenecked by its slightly slower CPU, 文法

可能被它稍慢的CPU拖了後腿，

meaning that in almost every backwards compatible game

這意味著在幾乎所有的向下相容遊戲中，

or games that aren't optimized for either system's I/O architecture specifically,

或者那些沒有專門針對任何系統I/O架構進行最佳化的遊戲中，

the Xbox will likely load faster.

Xbox可能會載入得更快。

And that's without even mentioning the Xbox's quick resume feature, 表達脈絡

這還沒提到Xbox的快速恢復（Quick Resume）功能，

which drops you right back into the action

它可以讓你直接回到遊戲中，

instead of into the game's start menu.

而不是回到遊戲的開始選單。

It is sorely missed on the PlayStation 5. 片語搭配

PlayStation 5非常缺乏這個功能。

But considering next gen load speeds absolutely decimate

但考慮到次世代主機的載入速度絕對輾壓

the minute plus wait times of previous consoles,

以前主機那動輒一分鐘以上的等待時間，

it's hard to complain about a few extra seconds here or there.

多等個幾秒鐘其實也沒什麼好抱怨的。

Now let's compare some game visuals starting with multi-platform titles

現在我們來比較一下遊戲畫面，從跨平台遊戲開始，

and wow,

哇，

these are remarkably similar.

它們驚人地相似。

That's because the consoles are architecturally similar

這是因為這兩款主機在架構上很相似，

with AMD's Zen 3 CPUs and RDNA GPUs,

都使用了AMD的Zen 3 CPU和RDNA GPU，

though the Xbox has a slight advantage in both cases,

儘管Xbox在這兩方面都有微弱的優勢，

at least on paper. 表達脈絡

至少在帳面上是這樣。

In practice, the image quality between the consoles is very similar,

在實際體驗中，這兩款主機的影像品質非常相似，

but differences can emerge depending on the situation.

have pointed out that while playing on the favor frame rate mode,

指出，在「偏好幀率模式」下玩的時候，

the PlayStation 5 actually adds more background foliage in Dirt 5,

PlayStation 5實際上在《大地長征 5》中增加了更多背景植被，

whereas in favor resolution mode,

而在「偏好解析度模式」下，

where the resolution remains locked at 4K

解析度鎖定在4K，

in exchange for looser frame rates, 片語搭配

以犧牲部分幀率為代價，

games either felt slightly smoother,

遊戲要嘛感覺稍微更流暢，

perhaps because the PS5 doesn't have variable refresh rate implemented just yet, 用詞

也許是因為PS5目前還沒有實裝可變更新率，

or pushed closer to full res more often on the Xbox,

要嘛在Xbox上更經常接近全解析度，

letting small details like the car's grilles look slightly better.

讓像汽車水箱罩這樣的小細節看起來稍微好一點。

Some games are more of a toss-up though. 慣用語

不過有些遊戲就難分軒輊了。

NBA 2K21 looks truly next gen on both consoles,

《NBA 2K21》在兩台主機上看起來都非常有次世代的感覺，

except for the visible aliasing.

除了明顯的鋸齒。

On the PS5, it's slightly smoother,

在PS5上，它稍微平滑一點，

but the depth of field effect and extra per-object motion blur on the Xbox

但Xbox上的景深效果和額外的逐物件動態模糊

deals with it in its own way.

用它自己的方式處理了這個問題。

How about next gen exclusives though?

那麼次世代獨佔遊戲呢？

Well, the Series X doesn't have any,

嗯，Series X一個也沒有，

which brings us then to Spider-Man Miles Morales on the PS5. 表達脈絡

這讓我們來看看PS5上的《蜘蛛人：邁爾斯·莫拉雷斯》。

While the game looks great,

looking better than the PS4 version,

看起來比PS4版本好，

but not really that much better,

但其實也沒有好那麼多，

which if you think about it, 表達脈絡

如果你仔細想想，

is really just praise for the incredible optimization job

這其實是在稱讚他們做出的驚人最佳化，

they did on the 2-year-old PS4 version.

那是在兩年前的PS4版本上。

On the PS5 though,

不過在PS5上，

the addition of ray traced reflections

加入了光線追蹤反射，

make swinging through a frozen glassy New York feel brand new.

讓在冰冷且玻璃般的紐約穿梭感覺煥然一新。

Although ray tracing is locked into the 30 FPS mode.

儘管光線追蹤只鎖定在30 FPS模式下。

Once you switch to 60 FPS, 文法

一旦你切換到60 FPS，

uh you're probably never gonna go back to ray tracing 用詞

呃，你可能永遠也不想換回光線追蹤了，

even if it uses less attractive screen space reflections. 文法

即使它使用的是沒那麼好看的螢幕空間反射（SSR）。

The PS5 has global settings like universal toggles for game difficulty,

performance priorities,

效能優先選項、

Like the Xbox's quick resume,

I gotta say, 語氣意圖

in the vibrations of a controller.
