Support NeoGAF

[Insane Metal]

Yes, I remember them having problem squeezing everything into the 8 gigs of ram of those machines... maybe they are having the same problem now with 16 gb of modern consoles?

Yes. 8GB of system ram + 8GB of Vram is a problem, they should've gone with one pool.

 

[213372bu]

Man, after those early impressions which turned out legit, I thought things were going to be good framerate wise.

It's tolerable for me, but it honestly shouldn't be this way to begin with, imo. Bethesda has the cash to work off a new engine, so why not just go for it?

 

[joecanada]

Looks like the GAF backlash is revving up early for this one.

Saw way too many people on here say shit like they quit Witcher 3 cuz of framerate (lol ok) and MGS 5 is totally the worst metal gear (sigh). Really of the large launches only Bloodborne hasnt had too much gaf-lash.

But usually we at least wait to play it before deciding its awful.

Witcher 3 was horrible though
I couldn't play long sessions without getting dizzy and headaches so say what you will but it's fact

Nah, I played that shit everyday and it was fine. I'll say what I will, but it's a fact.

I also won a math debate.

 

[PhazonBlazer]

So is this the only interior where this happens?

Sorry if asked before.

if fallout 4's map is as laggy as witcher 3 i'm just going to throw it in the trash

 

[Lionheart1827]

There are more clips in the OP, please watch them all.

Could you add chubigans video to the OP?

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3cxx1x

Its an hour of PS4 footage if I'm not mistaken.

 

[deoee]

Are there any streams onlinerino?

 

[Fix The Scientist]

I can handle occasional dips, but a near constant struggle to hold 30 fps (witcher 3 ps4 or gta5 ps3 type shit) would be seriously disappointing.

 

[Mahonay]

Sorry if asked before.

Sounds like explosions causes dips as well. That's not that unusual for an open world console game, still unfortunate.

You must have missed the Dark Souls II comparison threads.

Done.

I have a gaming PC, but I think I'll get this for PS4. As a hardcore gamer (I play Dark Souls), I appreciate the difficulty that playing with variable frame rates adds to the experience. It adds a nice sense of realism, in real life your perception of time changes in tense situations.

Two days left, I'm HYPE!! Expecting mid to high 90s metascore, it better beat Halo at least.

LOL

 

[Oldest_Ancient]

I would love to think that, but you have to remember that reviewers are gamers, and gamers are affected by hype and PR. Unless the technical issues are insane like in New Vegas, they will be ignored in favor of hype.

This wouldn't surprise me, Bethesda are the most protected developer in the industry. Any issues are swept under the carpet.

 

[Gamezone]

Is it horrible on both, or just the PS4?

Re-using existing jokes. 3/10 for effort

 

[JaeCryo]

In my opinion, this is yet another example of Microsoft paying off the publishers to provide inferior experiences on PlayStation consoles. The Xbox has sold poorly, and it quickly becoming irrelevant, so Microsoft are resorting to cheap tactics such as having PlayStation versions deliberately gimped in order to stay relevant in the eyes of consumers. Assassin's Creed Unity, The Witcher 3, and Resident Evil Revelations 2 are examples of this awful practice. I'm sure when you play this game on the Xbox One All In One Entertainment System, this game will be 1080p at a locked 30FPS, with mods available from the get go.

It's already happening...

Will GAF survive the onslaught through 8 AM EST?

 

[joecanada]

The fact is people did quit playing the witcher due to framerate, your one example does nothing to disprove that

Wut? What does Halo have to do with this? Must be a joke post...right?

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Regarding the minute-long fast travel, does anyone remember how long TW3 took?

 

[Bunta]

Yes, it's obviously a joke post.

 

[Chris R]

Trying to cover this up is not a smart move. What the hell are they thinking deleting and banning people?

 

[De_Legend]

The single digit frame drops some guy was talking about pulled me off..

Will buy in a few months when it gets better, hopefully.

 

[JDSN]

Meh, people should know better at this point.
We get the industry we deserve.

 

[Mahonay]

Someone reuploaded the one hour PS4 footage. Quote to reveal.

Thanks for posting this!

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Regarding the minute-long fast travel, does anyone remember how long TW3 took?

I remember it being pretty bad too. TW3 had also really long loading times when dying, Fallout 4 is pretty quick in that.

What is your HDD?

 

[Kenzodielocke]

What is your HDD?

Stock 500GB one.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Made a thread in bethesda forum asking if this would be patched got instadeleted and i am permabanned xD

they don't acknowledge Sony features created by them

 

[Adry9]

I uploaded the raw video http://www4.zippyshare.com/v/YvZYwBxi/file.html 37mb

Holy shit that's awful. The game also lacks Ambient Occlusion, the interiors have no depth.

 

[pager99]

Seriously you believe tidux the guy has never been right before he's a fraud

 

[Super Stardust]

This guy is the biggest liar, I remember him saying something similar about skyrim for PS3 and we all how that turned out.

 

[Aselith]

LOL
It'll be patched.
Won't be a problem on PC anyways.

Like the save fuckery issues in Skyrim on console?

 

[Krappadizzle]

Those load times are bad. That blows.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Deaths were definitely bad. Agreed on that. But I got overleveled and OP pretty quick in the game, so that didn't bother quite as much as fast travel did, that's why I was wondering

 

[Windom Earle]

Is the framerate in the Xbox One version better?

I remember people in the screenshot thread who were sure this game would have rock solid performance, lol.

 

[De_Legend]

Seriously you believe tidux the guy has never been right before he's a fraud

What?

I'm talking about THEaaron guy who posted in this thread, is he tidux?

''Playing on PS4 and the drops are real. Had to defeat a small bandit camp within a dungeon instance and it nearly hit the single digit territory. It feels bad in every big fight. ''

 

[daammyy]

Is the framerate in the Xbox One version better?

Some say the PS4 version has stable frame rate.
Some say Xbox One has stable frame rate.

We've seen videos where they both have issues in different places.

Best thing to do..wait for the DF's results.

 

[Solid Samus]

.

The fact that you were so ready and willing to consider a few framerate hitches as being indicative of 'the most broken AAA game of 2015" says a lot more than I ever could.

 

[yukianderson]

I just find it weird that if the PS4 edition runs worse why would they send out the review copies for PS4 and not the Xbox one edition if it does run better. They also have the marketing with the Xbox one so why not send those as the reviews copies?

Thanks. I definitely have my popcorn ready for the DF thread.

Some Twitch streamers received the Xbox One version, not sure how the distribution is in general.

 

[P44]

I really cant tell apart joke posts anymore.

Please tell me this isn't real.

The shit this game gets away with...

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Yes, it's obviously a joke post.

Just wanted to give a hard time.

 

[jett]

Wew lad, can't wait for the reviews.
I don't really know what to make of the game so far at this point.

It's going to score Bethesda/10 across the board.

 

[PeskyToaster]

I don't know if I'm more excited for the DF thread or review thread.

Spoiler

Still buying the game

Isn't it obvious? They want the deliberately gimped version to be out among reviewers so they can trash it in the reviews and drive everyone to the superior Xbox version.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

It's really a bad move, but at this point, I really wonder if it'll come back to bite them or not. I'm thinking not at this point unfortunately.

 

[robotrock]

He's probably talking about Fallout IV

 

[Cth]

I wonder what percentage of people are going to use VATS vs FPS.

All of the leaks I've seen so far have been FPS style which isn't the way I play.
