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

The point is that these two things are not mutually exclusive. You can love a game and still want it to have an appropriate level of technical quality at the same time. In fact, you should want that even more because you love the game. And you won't get that without a little bit of public outcry.

Well, the XB1 does have a faster CPU than PS4. For one, it's clocked slightly faster, and for another I believe developers have partial access to one more core than on PS4.
It's just that these relatively minor hardware differences don't amount to nearly as much as is often ascribed to them.
Yes, review copies are the PS4 version.
I think benchmarks have showed the opposite.

What do you expect on a video game forum
edit: lol. 5 "it's a video game forum" posts in the same minute
Not that it is a *better* CPU. It is the same CPU running at a higher top frequency. If you're CPU limited then, yes, it will deliver a better result.

So now you and another guy said the framerate is fine.
People are going to ignore both of y'all.
I actually have this same question too...
GTX 680 with 4 gb V-Ram, i7 3740 CPU 2.7-3.7 ghz 8 cpus
Didn't do very well with DA: I... my problem is it will run modern games at 60 fps for a few seconds, then dip to ~30, but if I were to alt-tab and re open the game, it'll run at 60 again for a few seconds before going back down...
And I'm not that tech savvy so I really don't know if it means I'm doing something wrong with my set-up or my rig isn't powerful enough.

Seems fine to me tbh.
It has finally come to this now.

I asked in the leaked photos thread and was told that was not correct. I actually changed my preorder to Xbox one for that reason.
yeah, it never gets unplayable, but i can ensure you that fights like that are frustrating, because you have problems focusing the crosshair on the enemy, especially when they are moving, so you keep missing the target. its not "just" a graphical issue, it really has an effect on the gameplay unfortunately.
happened also in some scenes where some molerats (or whatever they are called) attacked me and i had problems aiming because the framerate went down.
We have a PS4 that said the same (game is a solid 30), but he just didn't get to the problematic parts yet (interiors, scope shooting from a distance), I bet it's the same case for this guy as well.
The problems are not apparent immediately.

The difference would never amount to massive framerate drops on one version versus the other though.

How can so many people defend this and then go blast Titanfall for an example for FPS problems. I know that they might not be the same person, but I wouldn't doubt if I searched post histories I would find something similar.
Going to pretend it's an intentional slowdown that's in effect for sniping?
I wouldn't be surprised if they picked this issue up during QA and said "Fuck it, they can use VATs when the framerate dips into the 20s."
Okay, this sounds vaguely familiar but I haven't really heard of it before. I guess it's because of the windows 8 (or whatever OS it is) architecture that it needs, or has, a faster processor right?
Then what is it that makes PS4 run more games at 1080p where X1 is usually forced down to 900p?

I agree, it shouldn't be an issue, but it's still not a DirecX platform though, which is what Bethesda seems to concentrate on.
I'm not saying it's right, and I'm still buying the PS4 version for Remote Play functionality (in addition to the PC version), but I'm going into it expecting these types of issues.

I hope DF has the article ready when the review embargo drops tomorrow.

What would you suggest we discuss on a dedicated video game forum?
You know how people ask why some games have problems like they do?
It's because of people like this.
When they can get people to turn on their fellow consumer and in fact berate them for even trying to want a better experience, you know you won.
I know of a few sites that got the PS4 version. Maybe they have sent out some of both.

I know the answer, it was a rhetorical question.

When GOTY awards roll 'round, will Bethesda get another pass because of 'ambition'?

People said that about TW3 too. Would rather they try to fix it, and if all else fails put an option in for those that want it. Forcing that would just make me mad personally.

It seems like you can get whichever version you want if you're a reviewer. Someone posted earlier that Giant Bomb has the PS4 version.

Unfuckingbelievable people still defends bethesda to this day, this is why shit like this never will change...
I was predicting it cause only a blind cant see the clues:
Why do you think they never showed ps4 footage, why do you think review embargo is on the 10 the day game launchs, people still believes Pete Hynes tweets ? LOL
If this was EA or Ubisoft ? Holy shit it would be the end f the world but no , its bethesda!!!
GIVE THEM ALL THE GOTYs !!!

Oh man, there was me think after the last 5 RPGs that bethesda have made looking like shit and running like shit that this one would somehow be different...
or not.
I really don't know why anybody would be surprised, it's hardly unchartered territory for this kind of game.
The fact there are youtube video dedicated to the glitches of Morrowind/Oblivion/Fallout/Fallout NV/Skyrim is quite telling.

Couldn't agree more. A passenger plane gets blown up by ISIS and people are complaining about the frame rate in a video game on a website where people discuss video games. Priorities.
You're right, I wouldn't say massive. The differences between the consoles are often overstated, but you will see the odd difference here or there. This includes frame rate.
Um..what?
There's tons of bugs that are considered game breaking without resulting in crashes or visual artifacts.
That said, my post was using a non-standard definition to imply that I wouldn't be caught dead continuing to play a game if the framerate degraded so poorly during aiming. Real-time sniping is my combat mode of choice in fallout and seeing the framerate crapout so consistently is definitely something that would ruin the game for me.
Edit: I see that zenimax has taken down the video with a DMCA copyright strike. For those that didn't see it, the player is using a sniper laser rifle and whenever they zoom in the framerate drops down to ~10~15 fps. Consistently. It visibly messes with the player's ability to aim.

It would if the game is locking to 20 if it's below 30. The actual difference is 30 fps, xbox, 29 fps ps4,but the frame lock kills ps4.

I imagine when they publish this article, they will just blame the PS4 CPU for it.
I don't think so because this doesn't seem a very ambitious game, even people who are hyped seem to expect 'another one of those'

What are you trying to say with this?
If that's it, I'm definitely not seeing it :/. Maybe it'll be easier for me to see something tomorrow when people are streaming and reviews are up.

How dare people talk about technical aspects in a video game on a video game forum.
99% of your problems/complaints are first world that doesn't make them irrelevant.
