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.

Isn't that the slow motion perk, eagle eye or something?

Wow, that looks horrible.

Ffs Bethesda...

 

[DSmalls84]

I don't know where people get this from, but reviewers were sent all three copies.

Ok thanks for clarification.

 

[RichiRamjag]

Damn! That scope video is nasty.

Others on a German forum reported FPS drops too. But some here have reported few. Some of the streams looked rough too, while some didn't.

Bethesda was nice enough to make it so you have a chance at the game running like shit or running fine, like a roulette. Expect with 60 bucks!

I regret going digital with my preorder!

Why I buy any Bethesda game physical and keep it wrapped for a day or so.

If its through Steam, you can return it after trying it. Forget how long you have to try it though.

 

[Vinc]

I know someone reviewing the game for an outlet and they got the Xbox version, not PS4.

 

[wingedarcher7]

So many people here who are suddenly taking their preorders back before the game comes out. I still don't understand why even put in the money before some kind of review or impressions come out.

The framerate doesn't look like that big of an issue to me, but it isn't something that should be happening anyways.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

That scope footage is absolutely disgusting.

You're playing the game in the wrong style. It isn't fair to Bethesda if you're deliberately trying to break the game.

Is this the ps4 version?

 

[cyberheater]

I'm playing through it now for the very first time, all patches installed. It runs fine; no major technical hiccups as far as I can tell. Looks nice too for a game of its scope. I say go for it.

Thanks. I'll pick it up.

 

[ogbg]

If it's drops then I can handle it. As long as it's not consistent low 20s/high teens like Unity was. Seems like alpha effects are a problem though so any combat could be messy

 

[SeanTSC]

Well, I can't say I'm surprised, but I certainly am disappointed. I may be remembering things incorrectly, but didn't Bethesda say that the game was basically done at E3 and they were in QA mode until release? Shit like this should have been ironed out by now.

I guess the best we can hope for is them consistently working on and patching their game post release like with what happened with CDPR & Witcher 3, but I dare not hold my breath for that.

Is this more of an isolated event or does this keep happening? I don't think Bethesda would release the game if the game played like that 50% of the time.

 

[evilr]

Man this game looks rough and unoptimised. Such a shambles. Nothing but negative news has come from this game during real impressions. I am half expecting a 65% metacritic for it. Hyperbole? I'm not so sure.

Dear God, is this for real??? The OP vid and a couple of others didn't bother me as much, but this video is so bad :/

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Abysmal.

Will see how this is 3 months down the line on a technical level. (if its even a good game in the first place).

wtf?

Unbelievable.

 

[Dictator93]

Nah, I downloaded the video and time stepped it frame by frame: you can see massive amount of duplicate frames and not just frames with smaller differences between them.

 

[Newtype-001]

Is this the ps4 version?

It has the playstation button prompts so yes.

 

[Dangansona]

The framerate doesn't look like that big of an issue to me, but it isn't something that should be happening anyways.

And I'm not sure why you wouldn't wait until a few days after it came out. Again, not a good excuse but it's Bethesda. Let's see if they can patch it before deciding to never buy this game again and then trash it for the rest of your time on NeoGAF.

 

[ginger ninja]

Suffice to say, we need confirmation if this is because of the perk or not because holy shit that looks bad, even for a perk.

 

[Dutch Microwave]

We get word on the PC edition?

Nope,the only streamer with a PC copy has a gtx 980,he ran the game on solid 60 fps on ultra but with a 4GB card,that was kind of expected.No idea about fps lock or anything since its using the launcher like other Bethesda games to change gfx (and maybe the main menu? he never showed it),cant change gfx during the game

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I am also assuming this.

Wow that is pretty terrible.. must be a bug. Anyone try the xbox version?

Welp

Shit, that looks really bad

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Is this the ps4 version?

I think so, "L3" and it has PSN store link in description so it should be uploaded from PS4

 

[UV-6]

No shit, everyone should've expected this.

The best thing you can do with a Bethesda game is to purchase it a couple months after release. Let them release a few patches to make it playable first. By that time it'll have dropped in value so you'll save a bit of money too!

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Good god at that scope video, how the fuck did THAT get through?

Skyrim is worse than that and it sold 20 million copies.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Why I buy any Bethesda game physical and keep it wrapped for a day or so.

You have it right.

My stupid ass wanted it early on the PS4 a few hours before release.

If its through Steam, you can return it after trying it. Forget how long you have to try it though.

Oh no, I only wish my PC was good enough to run this. It's all PS4 here for Fallout 4, sadly.

 

[Takuan]

The video in OP didn't look horrible to me, but the sniping one is pretty bad. I don't think it's anything they can't fix with a patch, but if you're sensitive to fps drops it just seems smarter to wait for Bethesda to resolve performance issues before buying.

If I only owned a PS4, I'd definitely wait.

 

[idonteven]

they really hate sony dont they

 

[constantstatic]

It has the playstation button prompts so yes.

Lol I was passively watching the video and didn't notice. I hope the Xbone version runs better fingers crossed.

 

[Guymelef]

Classic Bethesda...

 

[erpg]

Welcome to Bethesda games. Further reinforcing that I made the right choice to wait for a GOTY edition.

 

[Ridley327]

Calling Creation Engine a new engine is like telling people you moved into a new house because you got new drapes.

This might be the greatest analogy I've read on this site.

 

[Lulubop]

Barely noticed, but at the same time I'm not sure why anyone would expect one of these games to be a technical marvel.

Excepting it to be a consistent 30fps is expecting it to be a technical marvel now, lol. Are you some of you guys fucking serious?

 

[Fantastical]

Wow. It already looks pretty unimpressive and now there are framerate issues on top of that? :/

 

[gdt]

Yiiiiikes. Good thing I'm on PC.

 

[JB1981]

Watched the video and didn't really notice anything all that egregious.

 

[Boke1879]

LOL WHAT! You literally have impressions from people here saying the game runs good for them.

I love GAF but it has a tendency to be hyperbolic with new game releases. Latching on to any negative news.

Same thing happened with Syndicate.

 

[RespectThySole]

I didn't know that and I was thinking of picking W3 up on PS4. Is it that bad?

It wasn't that bad, but it's been patched anyway and is now a stable 30.

 

[HK-47]

What do you expect from a day one Bethesda game?

 

[Gurish]

I didn't even know that there are loading times for interiors, what year is it? I thought we were over with shit like this on next gen consoles, if TW3 and Batman can do it, why not this game?

Now I'm sure it is a ported PS3/360 game.

Seeing the responses to this, it really seems like something I should be able to see, but I don't. Is it clearer when playing than it is when watching a video? Are my eyes just that bad? I'm starting to think this is the case, but if it's something else, I don't know what it could possibly be.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

"You need to use the Framedrop perk. It stops the framerate dropping."

Ok, I laughed, who did this?

"NeoGAF joyless no life autistic basement dwelling faggots: Lime LiuKangFaggingaPie AngelusErrare SubZeroFaggingatStarbucks Marrec the child catcher Opiate pedo mod et"

Haha wow. That is vile man.

 

[Game4life]

That defense force.

Hilarious.

The only thing that is hilarious is your inability to understand that different people have different tolerance levels for these things. I played Bloodborne and TLOU which had worse framerate drops than this without a problem. Like I said occasional drops like this are okay and will not prevent me from playing the game if it is mechanically competent.

It is not like I am a huge fan of Bethesda's trekking simulators with piss poor mechanics so please keep your lame accusations to yourself.

Is this more of an isolated event or does this keep happening? I don't think Bethesda would release the game if the game played like that 50% of the time.

first Bethesda launch? buckle up!
