Ah, that explains the tearing I saw in the Polygon video I guess. They must have been "playing" (lawl) the unpatched version.
Wolfenstein TNO/TOB ran on idTech5 and ran like a dream on PS4...

Rage ran fantastic too, I guess it was more about how it's managing that at such high quality visuals while Id Tech 5 games had to sacrifice visual quality a lot.
Then there was The Evil Within.
performance was the only thing that was good about IDTECH5, and only in certain games with a specific pattern. Shitty texture tech that artificially bloated game sizes and didn't even matter, horrible for devs to work with outside of its very strict confines and didn't look all that great in general without significant tweaking, and even then, didn't yield good results for the trade offs.
More like a combination of high and ultra settings. 4tflops is probably a higher base than this game is working with on the graphics side, just based on how good it looks on lesser hardware like PS4 and XB1

Nah, Jumper is right. A lot of you do try and sh1t on the Xbox one, and barely manage to contain your glee. The video clearly states he picked the worst area he could find, and most of the time the Xbox bumps along at 60. Lower res a given. Reading some of the posts on here would have folk believe it sits at 43 all the time, and is continually 10fps behind the ps4. That's rubbish. Some folk just choose not to listen to what is there, and latch on to any number they can find. Now THERE is the justification brigade.
This is exactly my point: that the actual, real-world difference in the experience between the versions is small enough that it is negligible for the majority of people. Who cares about the numbers if the experience is great? This isn't constant 60 vs constant 30, this is almost 60 versus almost 55, with fraction-of-a-second drops to almost 45-50 in certain places. This is a barely noticeable difference in the real world.
The developers of the engine and the game deserve major kudos for delivering an X1 version whose performance is close enough to the PS4 version to justify giving the same review score to both.
I guess we know who didn't watch the video.

Yeah it seems idTech5 just gets maligned because of TEW, but wasn't it heavily modified anyway?
Again, Wolfenstein on PS4 looked good, had high quality textures, and ran like a dream. Visually the only major flaw was the aliasing, and it wasn't a big deal when playing (only visible in screenshots).
I don't know about it being hard for devs to work on, that might be true, but Machine Games seemed to have done well with it...
Yes it was.
If Machine Games are to be believed ID Tech 5 was made for 60FPS and nothing else (I don't know how that works but that's what they said). So one would have needed modifications (basically fight the engine break down the foundation of what the engine is based on) to get down to 30FPS.
Seems to me Tango picked the wrong engine to modify.

I'd like to see the resolution/framerate it runs at in the Foundry area. Overlooking the Foundry (at the start of that level) where you see most of the level's geometry on-screen at once.
Yea me too.
This has been the most complex area for me so far and the framerate dips especially when enemies are around.

I've been past this part on the PS4 and I can't recall any real problems there. Of course there may have been some drops, but nothing notable.

Wow, id. The game looks gorgeous and at 1080p 60fps on consoles? WOW. I thought the game would run at 30fps on singleplayer.

This is dynamic 1080p on Xbox One right? Any Gaf impressions on Xbox IQ?
Edit: NVM, I see a lot of happy xbox users hereheading to the store now!
Check out the video.
It's very stable in The Foundry, for the most part. The only area where I've seen blips happen more frequently occur during Argent Tower. Just small drops but it was more noticeable. I'm in hell now.
Yeah it's great. I just turned my TV sharpness up a little to compensate for the soft look the game has sometimes.

a little bit off topic but, hows the storyline?
decent or throwaway fluff
may get this somewere down the line
good news that it runs great on ps4
wont touch the mp though.

This not a game where You look at story.
It has some tidbits of lore in codex and some animations You can play out from PCs, but this game does not focus on it at all. Its pure gameplay.
Can't tell if serious
Not yet. The TAA makes it super hard for me to pixel count. It's just too damn effective! You can clearly see the game become much blurrier but I have no clue yet what the res actually is.

Nice
Yeah, it is just soooo good.
I am playing on ultra/nightmare @ 1080p and getting anywhere from 90-120 fps. Sadly, I am CPU limited in some scenes giving me about 70 when I look in a direction with GPU utilisation@ like 45%. I definitely cannot wait for Vulkan. I am seemingly more CPU limited since I am targetting 120.
