Crimson Desert on console! An extended look at the near-final game running on PlayStation 5 Pro, covering all graphics modes. And one of my favourite video intros I've seen from the channel! youtu.be/3uUIBUoJhk8

@digitalfoundry “Why won’t you show me a terrible performance video to justify my nerd anger!!” All the nerds in the comments 😂😂😂

@digitalfoundry I’m crying

@digitalfoundry Still no base console footage. It’s a wrap 🫩

@digitalfoundry Okay, and what about performance on the base PS5?

@digitalfoundry Why not full retail version with base consoles? What have the devs got to hide?

@digitalfoundry Most people have base ps5 or Xbox series. Show those first pls

@digitalfoundry Why does this feel like a paid sponsorship

@digitalfoundry What about base ps5 performance

@digitalfoundry Us PS5 Pro users:

@digitalfoundry Day 1, my ps5 pro is ready

@digitalfoundry The amount of glazing over the problems is crazy, Its not a great look from DF, Load up end game it got so much more going on than this, Slow walking about and it hitting 60fps is not what this game is

@digitalfoundry @digitalfoundry You going to test the PC version with DRM?

@digitalfoundry Very disappointing seeing ‘console’ gameplay for the first time and it being the super expensive niche console most don’t own.

@digitalfoundry Yeah let's see the base consoles

@digitalfoundry ⚠️CRIMSON DESERT DISC IS A KEY-CARD⚠️ ⚠️INTERNET DOWNLOAD REQUIRED FOR OFFLINE PLAY⚠️

@digitalfoundry Real niggas out here playing it on Xbox, not with symmetrical thumbsticks and dogshit battery life 🤣

@digitalfoundry They are so extremely afraid, it's hillarious. Only showing Pro footage, knowing the vast majority will play on the PS5 Series X. Man, it really must be bad. The fear is insane that they have.

@digitalfoundry Why are they so secretive about the base console versions

@digitalfoundry The fact the game looks this good and this version doesn’t use PSSR 2 is insane. Can’t wait for the PSSR 2 analysis

Free Cone Day is here! Come celebrate with us at a DQ location on today by getting a FREE small vanilla cone 🍦

@digitalfoundry Aren't you ashamed of prioritizing the PS5 Pro version so much that it's the first video released, when most people have the PS5 base version and are worried about that version? Are you going to release a video of the PS5 base version before the game launches?

@digitalfoundry Now willing to retract all my theories that this game was a scam. Christ this looks good

@digitalfoundry Has your PC testing been done with denuvo present or not?

@digitalfoundry This is very helpful to the 97% of consumers who have the base ps5.

@digitalfoundry Man, the PS5 Pro isn’t even launched in my country yet just show us the regular PS5 gameplay already.

@digitalfoundry What about base ps5?

@digitalfoundry Holy sh*t it looks INSANE on the Pro Alright I’m buying it

@digitalfoundry These consoles are CPU limited on a game like this. Including the Pro with its weak CPU. Read quite a few reports in dense NPC areas or battles that the framerate can tank on console. All of them. But interestingly the Series X not as bad. But its cpu is the best of the 3.

@digitalfoundry I was expecting people in the replies to be discrediting DF because what they say doesn't align with what they think about the game, and I was not disappointed.

@digitalfoundry We need to see gameplay on PS5 BASE

@digitalfoundry John is a walking PS5 Pro ad at this point.

@digitalfoundry I’m honestly glad Pearl Abyss stayed so engaged with the community dropping all those reassurances and console performance details to clear up every worry prior to release I appreciate that kind of transparency 🥂

@digitalfoundry Shame you have to REDO all your PC Performance efforts because of the fact they JUST announced Denuvo for PC and you clearly didn't have that for your review copies.

@digitalfoundry Pro is the definitive console version

@digitalfoundry The media promotion of this game leaves me with one of two choices: either a happy player or a disgruntled one who vents his anger on it.

@digitalfoundry Wow you tested this product on a console that few people have. Is it a content for the community or to sponsor a platform???

@digitalfoundry GOTY 2026.
