It's the pad controls that kill the game on console. It's just not the same regardless of performance.

DF: PUBG performs badly on Xbox One - and X

I cry about SonyGaf from my chair in Redmond, WA
Clearly the game is bad coded. Theres no way the One X should only have a 2-3 FPS boost over the One. Game also runs in garbage on pc so is it really surprising?
Please write your fanboy garbage on reddit, this is not the place.

A game is available for sale, has sold 20 million copies on PC...It has one map, one map all this time. It's now on X and touted as a console mover, a certified big piece in MS's stable and you don't want DF or people to comment or judge what they're playing?
Go back to that thread where people thought this would be 60fps on the X, some people just don't take a hint...It's the same way Ark was supposed to be 4k or 60fps on the X too......and the thing can't even do 1080p 60fps on a 1080ti with consistency.
Imagine if there was no specialized team then, 11-12fps on the minimum with awful controls and aiming, by DF's now touted "ATG".....
A 30% improvement on clockspeeds on the jaguar is not going to give you a world of difference. The jaguar is not an i7......
Case in point, in CPU bound scenarios, you're going to get an uptick of 2-3 fps improvements for the most part....Perhaps you would see a bigger difference, if MS's OS didn't siphon the CPU as much, compared to other consoles...

Not surprising given the state of the PUBG on PC.
I can see this being a knock-on effect of building the game from store-bought assets; their quality often varies wildly, and there's no guarantee that a given model will have properly structured geometry, optimized materials, appropriate LOD levels to reduce detail and cost at distance, etc. It's a total crapshoot.
I'd love to poke around in their Unreal project and run the game through the shit ton of profiling and optimization tools that are packed into the engine. It'd be fascinating to see what parts are dragging down performance to that degree.
It's a rare game that can make Unreal 4 look like a low-to-mid tier Unity project.

The graphic looks average at best, it is a shame

Its fine to notice it or point it out. But it means exactly nothing. This is a beta test that they suckered people into paying for. Of course its going to run badly. If it performs badly after release, then absolutely they should be criticized, but the first day of early access, people are just reaching for something to attack if they are trying to make a big deal out of this.

Resolution is handled by the GPU entirely, wouldn't make any difference
My laptop runs the game better than this with a shittier gpu because my laptop has an i7 in it

Yeah, I did not trust this going as an official release when it's still Early Access on PC.
Shame. There was so much hype before.

There's very little reason to believe they'll make significant optimization changes before release. The PC user base has been begging for optimization improvements for a long time, but instead they prioritize a new map and pushing it out on Xbox. It makes sense when you realize the items being prioritized are making them fat $$$.

The final release is in 8 days, December 20th.
They are not going to fix it in 8 days.

For PC....which has been in development a considerable amount of time longer than the console version.

I could be wrong but State of Decay 2, Crackdown 3 and Sea of Thieves are all supposed to be out during the 1st half of 2018 I think.

And? It's the same codebase. Feature complete on PC is the same thing as feature complete on console. Unreal wraps the integration side of things to the degree where making a working Xbox version essentially means 'optimize more'.

This should come as no shock
Poorly optimized games on PC are going to run like crap on consoles

Trolling?
When a game comes out in the preview section it usually has a timed free trial. This does not.
This game has been so hyped by MS and alot of their Brass talking about how great it runs and feels.
Yes a game like this deserves getting bashed even if it is early access.
How many people would have loved that 1 hour timed trial or even 1 match trial? I am betting alot of people would have waited to buy it if they would have known even on the X frames can drop into the teens and even single digits on OG hardware.
Not to mention the whole fiasco of some site "leaking" this game was already running on the X at 60 fps.

I remember I joked that it will run 20 fps on basic console and stable 30 when author said that it'll run better on X and people expected 60 fps in the future.
Guess I was too optimistic

Give me a fucking break. You were getting all excited in the other thread when you thought it was 60fps on the X so clearly early access wasn't a factor then. Now that it's a known mess, the damage control comes out and all negativity gets swept under the "early access" rug.

Still having more fun playing this on my X than 95% of the games that came out this year

If a horribly optimized, unfinished game is the some of most fun you've had this year playing a video game, then I am very sorry.

Hope they can fix it on xbox consoles so they can learn how to do it for ps4 consoles too.

Called it months ago. An exclusive partnership with Microsoft doesn't mean Bluehole is suddenly a competent developer.
SyenceLabb

This is one of those unique games where the developer nails the concept but lacks the tools, resources, and talent to fully deliver. Dont get me wrong, the game will be super fun when its all said and done and fully released, but I hope this entices studios like Rockstar to go all in on a battle royale game with a triple A polish.

People are really using a poorly optimized early access game to criticize the power of the XB1X? Do you realize how fucking stupid that sounds?
blackjon24

An early access that is also one of the systems heavy hitters for the foreseeable future. Its disappointing for it to be released in such a state. I don't game on pc so I'm not used to this early access stuff but shouldn't a game be presentable if they expect you to put money into it already?

Does Epic not count making Fortnite? A Battle Royale game my PC can run at 144+FPS?
You are missing out, the game is a thrill...even with tech issues. They will work out the bugs.

Some 20+ million gamers also seem to be having fun with this game despite all it's warts and short comings. Perhaps there really is something to this game?
Filth

yeah but those 20 million plus are on pc where the game runs much better, i feel bad for everyone that is having technical issues but a heads up, the update on the test server on pc runs smooth as butter. constant 80 fps for me

Yeah, I'm actually surprised that they got it out this year (even in early access form). It was clear that a poorly optimised PC game in the middle of development was never going to be an impressive technical showing the the Xbox platforms.
Hopefully, with Microsoft marketing the game as a timed console exclusive, it'll mean that they will increase their technical involvement and get the core game tech up to scratch. This will benefit both PC and PS4 owners too in the long run.
I watched some of Major Nelson's stream of the game on Mixer and it did look like great fun despite the erratic frame rate drops.
Dont be, its an absolute blast. Framerate is terrible but we can live with that on the first days of release of a early access. Will criticize if there are no improvements.
This seems like a game that would have benefited from The Cloud TM, guess it never existed after all
They've clearly rushed this game out for Christmas to boost console sales, give it a few months i'm sure there will be regular build updates.
For what its worth I had a couple of games on X and it was ok, the controls may take a while of getting used to however I found the basics better than PC, running jumping etc

In all fairness the game doesn't run nearly as bad when you land and actually start playing. As an early access game currently in development I'll be curious to see what types of improvements are going to be made as the patches start rolling out in the coming weeks.
