DF: Fortnite. No Pro support, mid-20s, improper frame-pacing... Better on Xbox One!
- Thread starter Alkastelca
- Start date
Why is it DF's responsibility to wait for an upcoming patch instead of comparing what customers can experience today? DF is not Sony PR. Maybe they should have held back the PS4 early access until this patch was available.
Agreed on the first. Early access is weird. Some games have even completely changed game engines while in early access (RUST) though I'm obviously not expecting anything that dramatic in this game's case.
Yep, same game.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
People's shitting on DF in this topic .. jesus guys ...
They're a tech analysis website, they analyzed the available code. It's gonna get patched like most online games do, that's besides the point. I'm sure they'll do a follow up analysis when the game's out of early access too.

They compare the game in the state it's being sold. What you're saying is nonsense.
Maybe they had a hard and rigid 6 year deadline.
The Trump-like option would be to call factual news that you don't like into question.

So in other words, it's a Beta, it's a long way off, plenty of time to improve it.
Yeah man. You nailed it. MS is so desperate for good press they paid DF to show everyone Fortnite runs better on their console. Cancel all the PS4s cuz MS has won it all now. STFU

Yeah, DF did not specify if the performance gain is due to boost mode or not.

It's unfinished on Xbox too though.
It was apparently too early to judge ARK Survival Evolved's performance whilst in Early Access also. Would have been better to wait until they said it's done, and just let everyone blindly put their money down meanwhile...
Are you suggesting that DF saw the blog post yesterday and scrambled to benchmark all three platforms and have the article ready to go today?

How's Paragon on consoles?

But... the developers didn't make it 1080p on Xbox One. How can you compare that?
Or you know... they already made the content and are just publishing it is planned based on the version that is now available?

Hopefully performance gets better with patches.

That's what it seems like when I read comments posting negativity about DF. Some people need to chill out.

This game has been in development for how long? Unreal has been up and running on PS4 for how long? Epic have put out other games on PS4 (Paragon) and they didn't have these issues??
This is inexcusable for a game that costs $40. I don't care if it's "early access" or not, if I'm spending $40 (or more) on a console game, it should work. Especially from the studio that also makes the engine.

How can you not care if it's early access or not? That's the main point here. Optimization comes in later. If you can't deal with the performance, don't buy it. Hell, wait for it to come out next year when it's free.

The differences in frame rate stability and frame pacing seem to point on a issue with the different CPU clocks and CPU implementation in the consoles, if I had to guess. I assume to fix it on PS4 it would require to offload some of the CPU tasks to GPU Compute if possible or optimizing the code running on the CPUs.
900p/60fps on base PS4
1080p/60fps on Pro with many visual enhancements
Not on Xbox One yet.

True.
It's fairly weird since this is an UE4 vehicle and the other such vehicle, Paragon, is a stellar showcase on PS4 Pro. I wonder if they simply haven't bothered with any Pro enhancements yet.
However, as for the game itself... Color me unimpressed. It's building mechanics are quite timid and kind of 2007, the graphics are nice, but nothing to write home about. The wave-based enemy system and AI is just bad. And then you have 100,000,000,000 sets of microtransactions up the wazoo. Fuck that.

It can't even maintain 30fps on the pro? I've got an amateur PS4 so I guess I'll pass on Fortnight.

They made Paragon and that is smooth, I wouldn't worry.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
This shit's funny.
What you're asking isn't even fucking possible.
I have no doubt, in the end the PS4 version should run better... it's stronger hardware. Instead of attacking DF you blame the developer for a shit build.

Spoiler: it'll run the same or better than Pro damn near everytime and if it doesn't something's gone seriously wrong.

My e-pein is still bigger than yours and I do not need a 3rd party tech site to prove it!
Or Sony announced it's on the way, but announced it in a way that made it seem like it's out now.
