Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
But according to this it regularly dips under 30fps, that's not good at all.

I'm playing the xbox one version at the moment, it isn't the greatest looking game and does suffer suffer some technical issues, it's not as bad as people are making it out to be and it definitely is more than playable. Fair enough if people are put off purchasing it though.
Mikami... how deep the Japanese legends are falling...
what are you guys talking about? I've never heard such overdramatics.
I'm playing on PS4 and find the game to not only be awesome in general, but to look great -- and while there are a few jitters in the framerate in particular parts, generally speaking it feels like a stable 30. I could hardly be more pleased. You guys need to take a chill pill!

Seems that both versions have their issues. The only clear advantage here is resolution (PS4), if I had to pick something.
The X1 update was day one? If not, Is it possible DF began testing without the patch?

That's the problem, it doesn't. Which makes things confusing when one wants to share information and all at the time being. I know for a fact the PS4 had a small update then another small update very recent. The X1 version so far had only a day 1 update to my knowledge with conflicting reports some stating(me included) 7.5GB and some 117mb lol.
No, it's not possible. Latest version was used for both.

Hmm, interested. That could be it then. 7.5GB for the retail version and 117mb for the digital version, makes sense, I guess.

That was fast. Thanks.
The feel of 30 fps wont sell me on that game. I dont want to sacrifice immersion because of shitty performance. The price Bethesda is asking for the PS4 version is way to much to buy such a badly treated port. A pretty mediocre looking game like that which is aimed at cross gen visuals, should give me a bit more for the money.
Some people are more sensitive to this stuff than others.
Like some have said - vote with your wallet. Unfortunately for some, they forget that this can go two ways.
Got the PS4 version about 3 or 4 days before official release and it immediately downloaded a small patch. It stated memory and performance improvements but this was the only patch I got.

I always find it bizarre why tango would opt for an unfamiliar engine and not work with unreal or other 3rd party engines?

Perhaps the technical reputation of the team is. Design wise this game is brilliant.

Why do people keep saying that everywhere? Gaf, Steam, ... (not only directed at shandy706).
Unlocking the game takes a minute and it runs at 45-60fps for me. No hiccups. No crashes. Great Controls. Bethesda gave the console commands the second after the game was released and entering them is totally easy.
Yeah the graphics and performance are not great but everything else is perfectly fine. People just throw stuff around them in drive-by posts. But there are is no texture loading during the gameplay.
A problem Rage and Wolfenstein had.
It's not a great port by any means but it's not terrible. The console performance sucks, yeah. Welp... But I don't talk about those versions

Doesn't sound great on any platform.
FYI, a lot of films described as 2.35:1 aren't actually in that aspect ratio (especially if they're shot on something like Todd AO). There exist many many differing widescreen/scope formats that aren't 2.35:1 but are listed as such on sites like imdb.
No idea if the aspect ratio employed by this game is due to technical limitations or artistic choice, but implying that the 2.5:1 aspect isn't cinematic (i.e used by films) is factually wrong.

I understand how annoying it is to have shitty game performance. It's almost the worst.
Not that I've played this on a console yet.
But I think it's obvious the game is lovingly made, lots of attention to detail, great designs and wonderful atmosphere.
Take it easy guys
Oh I'm not saying the game is bad. I can't say because I haven't played it. I'm sure it's a good game outside the technical stupidity.
But the reason I haven't played it is because of the technical ineptitude.
I don't think a game is worth buying full price if it's this technically flawed.
This game is a mess. I don't think it's entirely fair to say its the console hardware that's lacking.

I'd like to see a breakdown of the PS360 versions, can't possibly bode well.
I'm loving the game despite the fact that 60fps isn't rock solid on PC. Though I haven't had dips below 45fps.

All this talk of low 20's is giving me flashbacks to late last gen games on the ps3...Its too soon for this shit on the new systems.. I got a dispatch email for a PS4 copy afew hours ago, no going back now. .. Whats the chances of this getting successfully patched to a solid 30 ?

I'm playing a free copy from a friend on X1...it's definitely not game breaking. The game is pretty cool, too.
Tango Gameworks, like MachineGames, is owned by Zenimax. They didn't have a choice.
It cost a lot of money for Carmack to make that engine, and by God, they're gonna get more than just Rage out of it.

I don't know what's worse... Cinematic resolutions or cinematic framerates. This game has it all covered. Will buy on PC at some point.
My guess? Zero.
The game looked much MUCH choppier at press events throughout the year. The game, as it is now, seems much smoother overall but still not smooth enough. They've clearly struggled with performance throughout development and were never able to actually solve the problems.

Don't know if you're being serious or not (I hope you aren't, yeesh) but this is clearly an issue on the developer's side, not the hardware's side.
Why on earth did Tango try to modify iD Tech 5 so much? The other two games using that engine have run at a perfect framerate on PS3/360/PS4/X1. Now this game comes along and it's a technical disaster.
Fortunately, judging from people's feedback, it hasn't stopped many of them from enjoying the game.

I think the Digital Foundry verdict will carry more weight than your anecdotal evidence.

On PC you could just cap it at 45 or even 50 and it'll probably play fairly well.
You need to go back to my edited post.
I was talking about a 750ti and 760 only managing console level performance at 1080p. I simply forgot to reference the cards, which made it look like I was making an all encompassing post. I'd expect even a 660 Ti to outperform the consoles, let alone a 750Ti+ card, if a game is well optimized.

Well, you have to go through the OT. There were people saying they got an update out of no where while playing lol. Also, Slasher has all 3 versions of the game so I guess he's a pretty good source if you have any question.
Looks like The Evil Within has bigger black bars ( more dead pixels ) than The Order - 2.5:1 vs. 2.4:1

Indeed, it's one hell of an entry level card.
Is this a serious post? That's like giving Skyrim on PS3 a past because you know, we should try it. DF is an analysis of what we will get. If it's a mess then it's a mess. This isn't some small difference like textures or loading. Plus money doesn't appear in my couch after midnight.Here's a wild and crazy thought...why don't some of you guys actually play the game for yourself or actually see it in person and then judge it? Despite the negative stuff stated in the DF article, maybe the game is actually playable for some of you folk? the point is, if you're interested in playing a game, then by all means do so. Don't let technical jargon sway you into skipping out

NO, this is what you get for using the ID Tech 5 engine. That thing was a mess in Rage and Wolfenstien and it's still a mess now. Though the 30 fps crap and the ratio were pisse poor design elements on Tango's part. Thankfully we don't have to worry about many games using it since ZeniMax pretty much said NO to anyone who wanted to license the engine unless it was an internal developer.
No ways. I can't believe this black bar thing is becoming a regular feature.

I would, but I run high 50s to 60fps most of the time.
As long as it's fairly consistent like that and doesn't reach console performance, I'm happy enough.
That said, optimize that shit ASAP, Bethesda.
