DF tests Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.23 on PS platforms

It's just ridiculous that people get so exercised by a game like Cyberpunk struggling in ps4. The console is ancient. PS4 owners should be happy with what they get, if they really expect something they bought over half a decade ago to play one of the most ambitious games around smoothly.

Also, can we get some recognition for how hard they're working to fix this?
If you can't properly port the game then don't do it at all. PS4 owners should not be "happy with what they get" when the game was marketed even before the next-gen consoles.
 
I've said it before but if you're really wanting to play this but only own a base PS4, it's feels like an actual video game now. The problem isn't the framerate though, the problem is the game itself. No amount of patching is going to fix it.

Buy it used.
Eh. I can't say to have play it but from the walkthrough I seen, the performance just scratching the surface of the others many problematics. Awful AI, most of the missions can be completed just running and avoiding the enemies or the same new "revolutionary" mechanics, not fun at all as the investigation interface system (or whatever is named) obligatory to use in different spots. This game smell of failure everywhere.

This game wont be relavent again until the next gen ports come out. I get the feeling they arent gonna make much more on this game until that happens this holiday
 
It'll be lower on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X as well. Even those platforms had problems running it at acceptable framerates. My Pro was on life support running it on launch day and after every subsequent patch after that.
Fucking sucks man. I said before this game has potential if it doesn't have the bugs/glitches and if they followed through on their missed promises of the game leading up to release like being able to bribe police officers and other awesome stuff they had planned.

Right now though even if the game was offered for free, I don't see myself going back at all.
But kudos to them for still trying to fix it. I just hope the repair job is worth it and they're able to somehow redeem themselves.
I agree. Im hard on this game because it has so much potential. So mant promised features that are absent but could make the game so much more interesting. Night city is a cool place to be. I hope they treat last years botched release as early access, and manage to turn this game into something special by this time next year
 
CDPR should do a Final Fantasy XIV, rework the game completely and relaunch it exclusive for next gen consoles.
 
Ocarina of Time ran at 20 fps locked and its considered to this day one of the GOATS

Skyrim ran like shit on consoles, one of the GOATS.

GTA V ? Yeah, sub 30 fps all the time.

The Last of Us made PS3s burn

BotW runs like shit on the Switch

"But nowadays we have different standards", get the fuck out of here with this shit.

Ambitious games will always push hardwares to their limits. Cyberpunk is one of them, graphically.

"Oh but TLOU 2 runs great". You have no fucking clue what you are talking about. It's a linear game developed for one platform.

"But GoT then". Show me where in GoT you have buildings that you cant even see their top. Where you can drive fast downtown with cars + giant skycrapers + tons of geometry from benches, trash, vendor machines, neon signs, alleways ....

There's no other open world game doing what Cyberpunk is doing. The vertical scale is not comparable to any other open world game.

I played 90h of it on my PS4 Pro with and SSD and sometimes it feels like a freaking miracle that its indeed running on it.

"If you cant lock the game at 30 fps, dont release it". Then we wouldnt have played some of the best games of all time.

Moments gone for me, I'll never play this no matter how improved it is. There's games like GoW 2, Horizon 2, Halo and Forza on the horizon. Why waste my time with this?

Seriously, Sony started designing the PS4 while George W. Bush was still in office.
 
Tbh I give them a pass for being a crossgen game .

Last gen wasn't any better . DA:I and the shadow of war game on PS3 is way worse than this . Both performance and graphics.

You played 90h of this game but you chose to ramble on about framerate 😂😂
I guess that's the only problem this game is suffering from.
CDPR just wasted their time trying to only fix the framerate in the myriad of patches releases for this game so far 😂😂

They achieved what they wanted, game returned on PSS.

I'm still playing Days Gone and Persona 5, both long ass games but I really want to finały finish one of them and start 2077 (on PC of course). Oh and I'm playing Valhalla since release too :messenger_tears_of_joy:

This is a thread about DF checking the game's framerate after the patch. Where a lot of people are discussing about the framerate.

And you are surprised by me "rambling on about framerate?"

If I want to criticize the game about other stuff, I would go elsewhere.

Only the framerate? They talk about the horrendous pop-in too. Also i think about the streaming or at least mentioned it.

But it's a good game for one time walkthrough on PC, XSX, PS5 that is.
 
Ah poor devs at CDProject Red, the hate train continues...

The game was NEVER meant to be for the 8th gen, this game was always going to be too complex for those systems hence the very high end PC initial demo (think OG Watchdogs, but bigger)...greedy Publishers practically forced the devs to support last gen much to the devs chagrin...

True

Half truth, it ran fairly well on the 360, but as it WAS Bethesda there were some bad bugs
GTA V ? Yeah, sub 30 fps all the time.
True
The Last of Us made PS3s burn
Half truth
BotW runs like shit on the Switch
Half truth (it DOES run awfully on the WiiU though lol

Agreed

Also True

If you cut out the "linear" part
"But GoT then". Show me where in GoT you have buildings that you cant even see their top. Where you can drive fast downtown with cars + giant skycrapers + tons of geometry from benches, trash, vendor machines, neon signs, alleways ....
none of that matters, GOT was developed WITH the PS4 in mind, and it WAS downgraded from the OG demo as well, it was never made for a high end PC then ported ALA CyberPunk

We have had sub 30 FPS titles before, and they have been (as said above) great.

There is a reason that while quite impressive at the time PC fans were pissed off at Crysis 2 being developed with the 7th gen in mind, it caused a great deal of sacrifices due to this. Hell Crysis on the PS4 Pro (while still a downgraded version) STILL runs at a choppy framerate!

Because It was NEVER designed for anything but high end PC's

But FPS is not the only problem CP2077 have on last gen.

You are 100% correct on both the PS4/One (X and Pro are a bit better, but not much)

it also has...

bugs
Greatly lower graphical detail
Lower NPC count
Terrible pop in
texture loading issues
and many more problems

Now lets take a look at Crysis on the PS3 which suffers from...

Lower NPC count
Terrible pop in
texture loading issues
and many more problems ;)

The point is that when your lowest common denominator is a mid level gaming PC, and your highest is a high end gaming PC well...a laptop CPU and 1- 1-7 TF GPU won't cut it...
 
Skyrim on PS3 is known for the infamous 0FPS and there still are major bugs in the Special Edition on Switch after 11years.
So no, Skyrim is a worse example than Cyberpunk.

Remember the drama of people saying Cyberpunk was worse than 0~10 fps Skyrim on PS3?
Thats the level of people we have here.

People have short memory indeed. PS3 Skyrim was horrible in comparison.

IDK if any game will match Skyrim PS360, maybe Death Premonition 2 on Switch.

Sadly i brought Skyrim on PS3 didn't have a PC so it was my only option. I told myself i will never buy another Bethesda game on console. Now with the PS5 let's see what happen.

Didn't play it on PS3 (played it unpatched on a 360 though, it was rough enough that way), but did that crash like every 15 minutes like Cyberpunk?

Sometimes the game even run. DF made a video about. I'll look for.

"Horrendous pop-in" was also present in many, many games before

Again, GTA V on last gen consoles had some horrible pop in

But considering Cyberpunk's scale, I think their streaming system is awesome. Its only fucked over due to HDDs.

If you play it on an SSD, it loads in -10 seconds, which is pretty impressive imo (even on last gen consoles)

Even when driving really fast, everything loads on time

Loading in negative 10 seconds would indeed be impressive.

But based on my experience playing it on a Pro with an SSD (not to 100%, but I've seen all the endings apart from the secret one), a) like hell does everything load on time, and b) at least for me, driving really fast is directly correlated to how often the game crashes. The faster you go, the more likely it will completely crap out.

Based on my experience on an SSD on the Pro: yes it does load everything on time.

Maybe I'm using a faster SSD? I dont know. But I've never experienced shit like crashing my car and 5 seconds later a bench showing up. Geometry is always there, and the LOD is changed real fast.

And I think you are totally right about driving fast = more crashes. That happens because the engine cant flush all of the the memory fast enough, so it keeps pilling and pilling up until it crashes. It's the achiles heel of the game engine right now that needs to be solves.

But overall, I'm really impressed by how fast everything renders, consideeing the scale of the game. Never seena nything like this.
 
Making a last gen version was a huge mistake, but money speak more. In this blindness for money they just didn't count on the backfire.

Yep, the money they thought they'd get from the base console version is probably less than the value of reputational loss. Their next games will be so scrutinized, when prior to CP 2077, they had so much good will that they could guarantee success from pre-orders alone.
 
It's still dogshit.

Even on PS5, the world is utterly dead and assets pop in at random. The AI is garbage.

Bad, BAD game.

You are mistaken. XSX runs it great. Occasional bug but nothing out of the ordinary compared to other games. I have no pop in. AI is a bit stupid but not much different from a game like Mafia 3
 
Some of yall are way too lenient. CDPR does not get a pass for scamming people. They promised a game on last gen hardware, so we should hold them f*cking accountable. They do not get a pass, they've already scammed millions out of last gen owners. Let them suffer., they fully deserve it!

Ill pick it up when its less than $5 on PC and the modder's have improved everything in this pos they call a game. I honestly have no faith in them fixing the bland world and brain dead AI, but im hoping im wrong. It still wont make me change my mind about CDPR itself though.
 
Just played another hour and a half on PC. I got an RTX 3080 mostly because of this game, but every time I play I just end up turning off RTX. Performance is just not where it needs to be. I could lock the game to 30 fps to have a smooth experience, but... bleh, 30 fps :(

Rose tinted memory, huh?



Just saw this. To me is better than CP 2077. It has better AI and physics. CP on last gen is a worse experience than GTA V on PS3 or 360. At least comparing the videos i have watched from DF of CP and this one of GTA V.

Edit: watched the other video PS4 vs 360 vs PS3 still think the same as above. To me GTA V running on PS3 and 360 is more impressive than CP 2077 on last gen.
