Agree entirely. The game is borderline unplayable. It really takes a patient person to deal with the constant lag, low FPS, and guns that don't actually kill when your sights are clearly right on the person you're shooting.
There reviewing a beta?
The console version is gonna be in for a long haul. I think it will be relatively optimized one day but its gonna take awhile.
This game can chug with halfway decent GPUs and i7 processors on PC
This might also contribute to there not being a PS4 version for a very long time or maybe never.
I wonder if the work Microsoft does for the xbox version of PUBG will be carried over to a PS4 version, because the optimization for the jaguars and AMD GPU in Xbox could also help the PS4 version. However I dont imagine Microsoft being to happy about that.
Are they selling a beta for money?
They wouldn't really care if some of the optimizations carry over. That's just how it goes. Late ports often benefit from patches, included dlc, etc. It's part of doing business, not something the involved parties would be happy/unhappy about.
Technically no, there selling a preview build(or beta or whatever else you call a not finished game) with the full version being included with it.
Beta testing is done during beta stage of development. Often this refers to the first publicly available version of a game.
Sorry but that's just spin. This is literally the very definition of what a beta is.

So you can buy it and now and play now but its not like people are unaware that its not a fully complete game.
IT would be smart for sony/ms to not let devs use there optimizations for competing platforms. In this case if MS do help get PUBG to a stable 30fps and bluehole use the same optimizations for the PS4 version, sony are benifiting from MS money and work.
But now thinking about it bluehole probably have it in contract that any work ms does on PUBG does not entitle MS to anything and bluehole own it.
You should exit your bubble, Sony and MS work together just fine. And PUBG runs on Azure, so they don't care anyway.
Its not a spin,
It is spin. This is a beta, which is being sold at retail.
Beta
Game Preview
Early Access
All the same thing.
Since when are the review score in the title? Or is it because its an Xbox console exclusive and the score is not so good? Typical...
Dude. This game is going to be a "preview build" for years. This is how the game has been since release on PC. This is not like review of a CoD or Battlefield beta.Its not a spin,
Game betas dont include the full game in its final incarnation.
My point is IGN are reviewing a preview version, I think it would be better doing an "impressions from game preview" and not a full review yet.

This is a game they are selling while actively developing with no indication that a "final" build is coming anytime soon.
That is like saying you cant review LoL or Dota 2. These types of games will never have a final build until development ceases and support stops.
Quoted you but it's mainly just to clear up that the reviews aren't some sort of fanboy shot at the Xbox One. It's just the way it is with the growing number of early access software. Even seeing this on Mobile now with an early access category on the Play Store. I personally don't support it.I commeted later in the thread that what I said was a mistake.

Yeah the xbox percormance is pathetic. They need to worry less about people stealing their idea and more about how it performs.

Why is it so bad on console, isn't UE4 very scalable?

I truly believe that the X, and probably even the Pro, should be able to run this at a locked 30 FPS. Might have to come at the cost of some LOD performance or texture streaming.
Base consoles are gonna be hurting though. It takes a pretty beast PC to get this game running super smooth and not look like a butt while doing so
Huge map with 100 players, it's definitely a CPU heavy game, and the jaguar CPU is rather weak, even by 2012 standards.
fornite battle royale plays quite well, and uses UE4, so it must down to the dev.
Just tried few rounds of Fortnite and, damn, it runs nicely...but zero soul. If they can get PUBG working that well, it is no contest which is the better game. Since this game is not cross platform it seems like they should have eased up to the full PC experience with a light version with less physics, players, map size.Fortnite has a much smaller map and has much less physics calculation going on.

From my limited exposure to both games, PUBG is more immersive largely due to realistic setting and sound. Traversing the landscape is a joy. I like the execution of Fortnites art style, just a little to fantastical for this style game. Also the atmosphere and tension generated by PUBG is amazing. However, Fortnite mechanics are well executed.See I feel the exact opposite I just cant get going on PUBG but love Fortnite.
Both are very good games and if they ever could get PUBG running as nicely as Fortnite it might be different for me.
Lol cry more.Since when are the review score in the title? Or is it because its an Xbox console exclusive and the score is not so good? Typical...
Hyperbole. While very early, the game is fine and I"m playing on an S, not X.
Those parachutes jumps are sure something tho lol.
