It breaks the illusion that you are looking at a real-time rendered game - it's more like a playable YouTube video in some scenarios.Ĭompression works in many ways. Looking at the moonlight in the balanced version you are confronted with obvious colour gradient banding. In general, this means that the image is macroblocking rather often, showing very large box structures within the image in those areas devoid of particles, particularly in the dark areas of the image. The screen is packed with small and fast moving snow particles and it's very dark with soft moon lighting, meaning there are very soft gradients and changes in the lighting itself.

And it's here that we can see the quality difference delivered by the Pro subscription's higher bandwidth, especially in Red Dead 2's opening scenes, where the choice of content represents a huge challenge for resource-constrained video encoding.

With Stadia bafflingly locking me out of the 4K streaming mode despite a surfeit of bandwidth, I relied upon Rich's captures taken during the main review process, and sourced my own 1080p grabs from the balanced mode. I really hope that Google updates its best practises for developers by insisting on quality/performance modes being selectable either at boot time, or within the game menu - something Stadia's impressive port of Shadow of the Tomb Raider seems to manage. I mean, in this case, opting for the higher quality mode actually halves frame-rate. It's not a great showing on the Pro and it's even more of a bad fit on Stadia. Rather than being transparent to the user about what modes are available, the game chooses for you, leaving you completely in the dark about ways to play the game that you might actually prefer. The concept of quality or performance modes being tied to system level display choices is one of the most frustrating things about a lot of PlayStation 4 Pro titles. Fundamentally, not only is the game running at 1080p, it's using a lower bitrate feed too.

There are obvious latency advantages to the higher frame-rate mode, offset by a lack of consistency in performance - and a hit to image quality.

In the balanced configuration, the game boots at 1080p instead, targeting 60 frames per second. On the former, RDR2 runs with a native resolution of 2560x1440 with frame-rate capped at 30 frames per second. You may think that the RDR2 experience is identical between Pro 4K and balanced 1080p modes, but that is not the case. Thankfully, I could rely on our existing Chromecast videos and bank my own 1080p captures.Īnd surprisingly, there is a big difference.

However, in Stadia, my connection is only rated as 'good' with a 33mbps download rate, while Rich's session was rated 'excellent'. I can download at 340mbps and upload at 34mbps - significantly better than the already stellar 200mbps hook-up used in Rich Leadbetter's test sessions. And remarkably, in some respects, it's actually an improvement.īut before we dive into the game, there are some bizarre oddities in running Stadia on my connection. Red Dead 2 is fascinating because the nature of the experience changes very significantly if you don't have the premium sub in place. In our first piece, we looked at the high-end Stadia experience delivered by the controller/Chromecast Ultra bundle pack with 4K HDR 'Pro' subscription enabled. The opportunity to take a closer look at Red Dead Redemption 2 on Stadia gives us the chance to expand on the tech review we posted earlier in the week.
