Ok... this Gif is perfect..

As for the video.. I don't see it.. I am not defending this game. I'm just use to playing alot of poorly B teir made games that I could make anything work and don't notice the stuff Gaffer's can catch in their sleep.

Yeah, I don't see it either. I watched it 5 times now. I don't know what the problem is about that video, I just don't.

 

[Neff]

Ha I can't even see anything wrong with the scope video

#ignoranceisbliss

Me neither. I've played and enjoyed FPS games with worse framerates.

 

[King_Moc]

I hated oblivion and skyrim. This is my first Fallout game. I saw the OP video and scope video and saw nothing wrong. Is there something wrong with my eyes?

The framerate halves when he views down the scope, it'd be semi-impossible to aim well like that.

 

[Pop]

I'm playing on PS4, ans the framerate is good. Yes, sometimes it drops (when it saves and load things actually) , but it's very minimal (and I'm very sensitive to framerate). Don't worry, the performance is good.

So...

I'll just judge for myself haha

 

[braves01]

Holy shit, what is up with this engine. I had to stop playing Skyrim on PS3 due to the FPS problems.

Me, too, even after the update that "fixed" eveerything. I couldn't go more than 5-20 minutes before a hard lock.

 

[sikkinixx]

I don't expect a game to be perfect. Some jank and a few drops aren't world breakers if it's in rare circumstances. What IS pissing me off is the shitty embargos. I wanna hear from reviewers or DF as to which version is best. I have the PS4 version on order, somewhat hesitantly from the start as their reputation on Sony platforms is garbage.

My cursor is hovering over the cancel order button. The only thing saving me from doing it is the fact that I'm getting it for $50 CDN, so $30 less than MSRP. I could always not open it and resell it.

 

[Bigboss242]

Boy am I glad I don't give a shit about FPS. That looked absolutely fine to me.

You people are crazy.

Yea they are crazy. Can't wait for the midnight launch tomorrow.

 

[JaeCryo]

Well, it's not a myth as such, just incredibly overstated.

Haven't heard this before. You mind explaining it Durante?

 

[jackdoe]

There's a pretty good chance that any area that has framerate dips in the PS4 version will also have framerate dips in the other versions. Hopefully, it's not as dramatic of a dip on the PC.

 

[RichiRamjag]

Can't believe folks are on here defending hard against this. If it doesn't bother you then fine, but sheesh. Some of these replies...

 

[GavinGT]

It would kinda explain things and no i don't mean those pathetic conspiracy theories from some folks here, but the fact that BGS ported Skyrim to Xbox One and that it's probably also the lead platform.

Does not mean it should be full of bugs and framerate issues on PS4 though. Let's wait and see, and let's especially not cancel pre-orders and go all buckwild.

People should cancel their pre-orders because pre-orders are stupid. Especially for a Bethesda game.

 

[Hollow]

It noticeably dropped but it didn't look unplayable.

Was expecting worse based on the title.

 

[Murray97]

Yeah... playing Bethesda games on the PS3 was always risky...

Makes me a bit nervous for buying this on PS4. But honestly... OP's video was not bad at all... serious hyperbole.

OPs video didn't really seem bad at all but the scope video looks awful.

 

[Messiek]

I never played a fallout game. I bought into the hype and pre ordered this one.
If this game is bad for some reason, I'm going to become the most skeptical person when the subject is pre orders.

 

[RK128]

So another Bethesda open-world game runs like crap on consoles ? How am I not surprised at all hearing this......

People gave AC Unity a lot of crap for this, so hopefully people will complain about FO4 running bad, so that way patches that fix the frame rate come out faster and that future Fallout/Elder Scrolls game run on a different engine.

At least the game runs on PS Consoles this time out....so that's something. Thank got its not like pre-patch Skyrim or the Fallout games on PS3 (yikes....those are some of the worst running games on PS3 last generation X().

Sorry if this sounds like complaining but this really is in-excusable, so hopefully they fix the game up before its launch.

 

[razgriz417]

Sucks for ps4 fans, here's hoping this gets patched. Good thing decided to go pc where hopefully this isnt as much of an issue

 

[Majanew]

How can anyone not see the frame drops in the OP vid? Lol, you have to be full of shit.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Whats up with the horrible graphics in that vid? It looks like that common effects like shadows etc are missing and on top of that bad framerate drops.

 

[Zombie James]

here's a video, i've recorder earlier today.

i just uploaded it, so youtube is still converting it, i think.

the framerate war fine until i used the scope, then it dropped significantly, making it hard to get a good shot.

https://youtu.be/aPAH3bFx3VE

There goes my sniper build :/

 

[Sande]

Well, fuck. Performance issues always were my only concern for the game. I guess I'll see tomorrow how bad it is.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Is the game out yet?

Until then....

In under 48 hours! And the day one patch is already live.

There isn't going to be some miracle patch at launch.

 

[Asd202]

lol. MGSV's open world is more of a drab, barren wasteland than FO's could ever hope to be.

characters look nice though

There's sure a ton of stuff going on in that Scope video.

 

[FranXico]

Well, it's not a myth as such, just incredibly overstated.

The up-clock does help Xbox games performance, but it will never make a difference to the extent people saw in AC Unity (at release), for example. And later on, it was greatly improved with a patch. You can't "patch a faster CPU" into a game.

 

[constantstatic]

I wouldn't be surprised if Bethesda straight up ported the game on PS4. Either as part of the Microsoft deal or because of the history between them and PS3, I don't know.

Why would they want to purposely cripple a game especially on the console that's leading in sales and in more people's homes(you understand Bethesda is a business and not invested in console warz right?). They are a business and are you kidding with Microsoft paying to make the ps4 version worse remove tin foil hat.

Wouldn't a more realistic reason be that Bethesda optimized the engine for directX. I'm sure it's gonna run equally bad on Xbox as well.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Compression.

Spoiler

it isn't a looker.

 

[UnrealEck]

I noticed it in that video a couple of times.
I also noticed big dips in another video a few days ago. Particularly when there was alpha effects like smoke on-screen.

 

[Hoo-doo]

What platform are the review copies on? PS4?

I'm inclined to think they are giving the best performing version of the game to press.

 

[ogbg]

People gave AC Unity a lot of crap for this, so hopefully people will complain about FO4 running bad

Unity didn't have drops though. It ran in the low 20s consistently.
From what I see here it doesn't look so bad. The scope one is terrible but it may be an isolated incident due to the campfire in the field of view.

 

[Harmen]

If, after multiple console releases where the XBox/DirectX version of a Gamebryo game ran better than the Playstation version, you still expect better the next time around.

PS4 has the same architecture as the One and not that classic Sony chip weirdness. So why would we be insane? And how does the One version run actually?

 

[Dennis]

Wow, that is terrible for console gamers.

You would think outside would be more taxing than interiors.

Digital Foundry analysis will be interesting.

but ps4 is so powerfull!!!!! lol eat a dick you fucking neofaggots. bunch of retarded sony drones with asperger.

This is my favorite YouTube comment ever.

That was pretty bad though. Reminds me of walking through the destroyed Skellige forest in Witcher 3. Doesn't seem unfixable though, if Bethesda feels like... you know, actually keeping up with standards.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Review copies were sent out of every copy.

Some got Xbox One, PC or PS4.

Others got the press kit which had all versions.

The same person who posted that vid even said he's had other firefights that ran stable.

 

[Guymelef]

Makes sense, XB1 has the better CPU for an open-world game.

It also likely received the most development time as the lead console.

Still with this?

 

[Mikey Jr.]

This is one of those instances where I'm like "You know what? Drop this shit down to 900p. Honestly"

 

[Elandyll]

I thought it had been reported that PS4 copies were sent for reviews?

 

[RichiRamjag]

Still with this?

Lol, seems so.

I thought it had been reported that PS4 copies were sent for reviews?

Believe I read that both had been sent

 

[Imp the Dimp]

That's one atrocious framerate. Can't believe who claim to not see it lol.

 

[dex3108]

This is one of those instances where I'm like "You know what? Drop this shit down to 900p. Honestly"

If game was 900p with that graphics and 30FPS whole hell would break loose

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Aw hell I have a Gtx680. I'm not sure where I fall on the spectrum of PC or ps4.

 

[Jolkien]

Might end up cancelling my pre order and grab it down the line on PC. I'll be busy with Starcraft and Tomb Raide anyway.

Really sad for people that has only a PS4. Hopefully it stays relatively "minor" like the OP video and doesn't deteriorate further down the line.

 

[constantstatic]

I thought it had been reported that PS4 copies were sent for reviews?

I asked the same thing and was quickly corrected that the Xbox one version was sent in press kits. So I don't know who to believe anymore. I wish someone would clarify.

 

[DMTripper]

It's not gonna be this bad on PC is it?

I really hope not :-/

It's actually quite scandalous that the current gen of consoles can't maintain 30 FPS. It's a real shame :-(

I played both FO3 and NV on PS3 and the interiors were usually the only stable parts of the game. Hopefully it's a quick fix.

Yeah, I'm stuck with a 660. I bought a 970 but it didn't work with my PC.

So PS4 it is. I'll double dip on PC later when I get a better rig.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

This is one of those instances where I'm like "You know what? Drop this shit down to 900p. Honestly"

For what reason? The odd time when something unoptimised and unintended is clearly going on when the rest of the time it's fine? No thank you.
