Oh man, those textures, that shadow, that framerate, Bethesda did it again, 11/10 would pre-order again.
I'm pretty sure people attributing it to a perk are joking.
There is a dip for sure but nothing as doom and gloom this thread is making it out to be.

Hard to tell if that one shadow casting light is even real time tbh, there are high number of objects and back side faces which are unlit.
Why would they spend money and time on new engine whet they sell millions of copies using old engine that they are familiar with?

I would have thought that people would have figured out by now that Bethesda only put any kind of real effort into the DirectX implementation of their game engine?
Their games will always run decent enough on PC and Xbox (if we ignore the typical hilarious bugs), but they never gave a shit about making sure their games perform well on Playstation, and never will...

Was expecting worse tbh.
Okay, I laughed.
just to clarify ... ps4 + day-1 patch obviously
to be fair... it wasn't that bad for me very often. there were other outdoor-sniping-fights where the framerate remained relatively stable.
also i didn't encountered many of those indoor-drops kenzo mentioned.
though i must say, that the game does not feel like a smooth experience in general, unfortunately... and looking at the kinda dated visuals, it's really a little mindblowing the game doesn't run better... i really hope some of this stuff gets patched out in the future.
but i also want to add that the game is a lot of fun and i see myself putting in a lot of hours... hopefully with a better performance in the future =/
haha^^
I don't see why this is an issue. Most people don't even notice if the framerate in a game is 60, 30 or 20. It's just another reason to complain. Internet hate culture is really starting to annoy me. Do you know how big Fallout 4 is? You can enter a ton of houses. No loading screens. I'm not surprised the framerate dips a little under 30 on consoles. This game is even bigger than Skyrim. At least give it a chance.
This obsession with framerate in a game is getting out of hand. You have developers like Miyazaki openly stating they don't give a fuck about frames per second, but people still complain. Remember Blighttown? The framerate changed that entire area. It added to the challenge. It was a clever way to manipulate the technology and use it to change the rules. But do you think people appreciated it? Naw, they'd rather complain. On PC, people even went as far as casualizing that entire area by making it run at 60 frames per second.
Honestly, people don't really care about the framerate. If it was 60, they'd find another reason to complain. I bet most of you won't even play it on PS4, so why complain? Just play it on pc and install one of those japanese waifu mods and change all the enemies into pikachus or something. jesus christ...

Well, it's 2015 and here we are folks. 30 fps is "a technical marvel".
Yeah, I'm waiting for stability patches. I don't want my experience to be marred by these technical hitches.

Yep, the first rank. The 5th rank reduces it to 1fps
...it was not in slow motion...that's the problem - the moving in and out of scope left the player with vats as the only option as with the janky frames they couldn't aim as the dog was not moving in a fluid movement to reveal its animations.
Nothing there was slow mo. I mean you can see that.
Came to post this. After reading the OP I expected a slideshow, instead I picked up a slight stutter once... I think.
The scope video was bad though, not being able to pull off a sniper shot because of bad framerate would be very frustrating.
I'll wait for a month or so until it has gotten a few patches.

The antagonism of the people in this thread is ridiculous. Who cares of people don't care about fps drops?
But that scope is still pretty awful...

Sometimes I am not sure which posts on GAF are joke posts and which arent.

yep. as long as the frame rate isn't Blighttown bad, I can live with it. things popping up right in front of my face or mountains suddenly popping into view in the background are instant immersion killers for me though.

Don't know if it's my browser, but I could only once see the framerate drop. I'm far from used to 30fps so it should stick out to me.
They're both probably bad. They sent out the PS4 version for review.

look at the desk.
Things that come to fix the game when it's $20 cheaper.

ok ill wait for a parch or two.
Ok, the vid in the OP didn't seem terrible to me but this does. Performance actually negatively and persistently affects gameplay in a meaningful way. This is something worth getting upset over.
Now this looks terrible and gamebreaking to me. I dont think I will be able to handle these drops if it is consistent.

It looked fine to me outside of that one big drop when you were by that crack in the wall

I'm so glad I learned my lesson after Oblivion and Skyrim to wait until the GOTY edition to buy Bethesda games.

Their CPUs are not any good. Which is a big thing for open world games.
Oof, that was bad.
Nice, eventually the perk becomes Freeze Time.

Oh dear, that is real bad. Eek.
Thank you for this post, I absolutely agree.

People can't tell the difference between 20 and 60fps and choppy framerates add to the challenge?
Even if this is a troll post it's a terrible one.
