The Frame Rate of Fallout 4 in Interiors is horrible [PS4]

Makes sense, XB1 has the better CPU for an open-world game.
It also likely received the most development time as the lead console.
Let alone reviewed like it did.

Oh hi Pete Hines.
To the surprise of no one. Now it's just a matter of seeing whether journalists will give them a pass again.
Well, there it is.
In fairness, nobody noticed this shit until 60+ hours when the save sizes got ridiculous. Even the press didn't know about this crap. Was an absolute fucking nightmare and nobody was warned.

Just take a look at some of the responses in this thread.
There's a bunch of people actually proud of their inability to perceive sub-30 FPS and think everyone else is just a stickler/complainer/drama-queen.

Off topic: Yeah. I thought it was pretty cool but opinions and all that.

It did hurt Assassin's Creed Unity a bunch and Syndicate too.
The frame rate on PS3 got bad when the save file reached a certain size. It was fine for like 60 hours for me then it appeared I had gone too deep into that rabbit hole and the average frame rate became a single digit.

Silly smooth zero FPS

I think it's more complicated than that. First, optimizing for every situation in a game like Fallout 4 and The Witcher is extremely difficult. On top of that, they have to create one set of assets across Xbox One -> PS4 -> PC so just focusing on each console isn't really possible. I think the fact that numerous games have struggled indicates that optimizing is more difficult that people imagine, though I agree the devs are also partly to blame.
MGS isn't really analogous to either Fallout 4 or The Witcher. The world scale and scope is much more limited.

Well he was working on the story, er, or I mean all the imaginative gameplay scenarios, or, ehrm, maybe the bosses, wait, no he must have been really immersed in creative level design? No? Hmm... All that Mother Base time sink bullshit must have really consumed a lot of creative energy then.
Anyways, I have PS4 version pre-ordered and I'm in the mood for a Fallout game, but I'll see what's up when reviews drop tomorrow I guess.
I'm not sure what's more terrible, what Bethesda is trying to get away with, or the fact that so many people here on GAF (and other sites) just keeps on defending them whatever they do. I'm pretty sure that if it was announced that the PS4 version only is half the game, and the disc contains a virus that will shut down the PS4 forever, there would still be a handful of gaffers defending them.
Bethesda has set a really low goal for themselves in terms of graphics and they STILL mess up the framerate. Embarrasing to be honest.

Fool me once... I just keep pre ordering anyway, I need to be more patient with big releases like this.
They managed to hit 0fps with Skyrim PS3
Holy shit, what is up with this engine. I had to stop playing Skyrim on PS3 due to the FPS problems.
Okay now this is rough. Does this happen everytime you use scope? If so then wow Bethesda.
That is no excuse for any game to run bad.
edit.
Holy shit that PS3 Skyrim fps. And it even got +90 metacritic.
I could say the same thing about you and hype. I'm basing the info on what I've seen so far in terms of video footage, my friend who got his copy yesterday and that one early reviewer who was flamed for the crime of having an opinion. If Bethesda was proud of the product they're releasing, I really doubt they would have left the reviews until the day before release and I doubt even more that they would have embargoed the game's embargo.

Seconds per frame.
Considering the frame rate drops are all caused by alpha effects this makes no sense

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.

It's completely barren and uninteresting with very little variation and is also a chore to traverse especially with the restrictive mountains put in place. The game would've been much better off with a bunch of Ground Zeroes-style maps. The open world added very little.

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.

Fallout games are usually more CPU intensive. And I think the XBOX has a better CPU, so it might be entirely possible.
He mostly focused on Quiet, that's where all the money went.

Frame Rate horrible?! Did you ever played Skyrim, FO3 or FONV on a PS3? I platined all of them, so for a Bethgame FR is absolutly fine.
100% sure there will be a Patch in the next days After release for solid 30fps
I believe the second to last patch at least mostly fixed the framerate issues.

The news about the performance of the AC Unity were much more spread across the press than the ones about Bethesda's games though, that's why it should have reached the masses.
The most annoying thing is that we aren't even dealing with a small studio here where technical problems can be excused with limited development resources. Bethesda should have all the resources it needs to produce games that are not a technical mess. Open world games will always have bugs due to there gameplay complexity, but slide show fps when looking through a scope at what can be at best described as mediocre graphics cannot be excused that easily.

There are actually people in this thread handwaving the fact that a game with those looks runs sub-30fps on a PS4... I just...
Some individuals don't care so long as they can be hyped for a game regardless of the end product.

The issue this time is the PS4 has the more powerful and easier to develop for hardware. There's no excuse for this.
People move on, nothing to see here. I've played the same section yesterday and yes, though the framerate takes some significant dips right at the start when you enter this building, it gets better and is far from being unplayable. This should get patched easily, because there is nothing resource-demanding going on in the interior sections especially in this one.
On the plus side - at least the AI seems to be on par with most FPS games out there.
And lol at those who think the Xbone version will run/stay better - at the same resolution with 30% less GPU power? Witchcraft? This is no Cell vs. Xenon szenario.
For a Bethesda game Fallout 4 runs ok at the moment and there is room for improvement.
On a side note: sometimes the game ran so smoth in buildings that I was asking myself if it is running above 30 fps.

no, it doesn't. as i mentioned earlier it wasn't that bad very often for me. other sniping parts were fine.

To be fair, yeah, it takes a few dozen hours to be majorly effected - but most players reached that point easily. On top of that, they never bothered fixing it - presumably because it continued to sell so well. By the time all the DLC had dropped, despite all the DLC release delays for the PS3... No fixes. Even after the rereleased Legendary Edition. Nothing.
Complety agree.
Yeah, and he's also just falling over backwards slowly when he gets shot.
The open world was simply there to facilitate being able to approach and finish missions in many ways. It's got totally different ambitions than something like Bethaseda's Fallout which is more about exploration.
So I should not buy a game that I've been looking forward to for years because of something that doesn't bother me nearly as much as it bothers others?
THIS times 100!
Well, it's not a myth as such, just incredibly overstated.
You don't know what "game breaking" means. If it was game breaking there likely wouldn't be a video to tell the tale.
Sure in that video. Not defending it but in all the time I put into Skyrim I don't even remember an instance of it loved the game had fun. The general public doesn't care.
Gaf tends to act shocked that these games sell well. It's because people legit don't care about FR that gets bad when tons of shit is going on. That's the reason people keep coming back to these games.
You're right in a perfect world, PC, PS4 and XB1 users would wait. But most people are going to buy these games day1 and unless these problems are game breaking or if the game is just complete shit. These issues really don't have any overall bearing of someone enjoying the game.
