Tomb Raider and Rainbow Six.

I think r6 will, no way tr does though

My biggest concern is if the Fallout 4 executable is 64bit ready or the game is large address aware to so it doesn't reach some out of memory issue.

Skyrim's biggest problem early on at launch was that it was a 32 Bit application, and when the game hit the cap of 3.5GB of memory used, it CTD.

Even after Bestheda made a Large Address Aware fix, core mechanics of the game were still designed to load 512mb chunks at a time up to a threshold of 3.5GB.

I hope Fallout 4 is 64bit ready. A large open world game with heavy mod support can use all of the memory it can get. This is even especially true for a Bethesda open world game.

64 bit is now absolutely common so no worries to have. Look at your average AAA PC multiplat game on PC and they're all 64 bit.

Long overdue imo.

When I was at EGX and waiting for The Division, I watched people play the new AC. Assassins Creed Syndicate was broken as fuck.

Ubisoft have fucked up again. I saw people getting stuck in walls, people floating away and there is this new technique where you can pretend you are being escorted by a guard who is secretly a friend in disguise, the guard got stuck to the player. The player was climbing, running and jumping with this guard attached to the assassins body.

By all means, this could be an old build. But holy fuck even if it is there is a lot to fix.


It's fucking criminal what I saw if that is whats being shipped.

Not saying the game will not be broken at release but you have been watching is months old demo build that was juts build to just give the player an impression of the final game and will not represent the final game. In fact, AC series are notorious for putting up demos that aren't made into the final game (AC 3 being a prime example) it just happened that the last one's demo is not as optimised as it should.

 

[Deku Tree]

My guess is it gets worse than last Xmas... The only way it gets better is if people stop pre-ordering and stop buying broken games at launch. Hard to do this if most games bought are presents though.

 

[Naminator]

My money was on AssCreed, Battlefront and Fallout 4.

Looking at the poll, I'm glad my common sense is still working xD

 

[Dyson Industries]

Please, no ban...but it would appear that the mods buggered up the poll by not including the new Tony Hawk game.

Babel’s functionality QA director Mathieu Lachance added: “We’ll see many games launching with large errors and bugs. It’s impossible to release a flawless game.

Platinum and Nintendo send their regards

 

[BY2K]

Nintendo releases games with bugs. They're just harder to find.

And Platinum games are far from bug-free either.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Platinum and Nintendo send their regards

Everyone makes mistakes just some bigger than others. For example Mario maker has a invincibility glitch currently. Which needs to be patched. No game dev is flawless but they do hold better track records. Platinum had to patch bayonetta on PS3 to hell and back to get it in a decent state.

 

[CHC]

Soooo.... looks like it wasn't AC: Syndicate, Uncharted Collection, or Need for Speed.

Shall we resume the betting?

Spoiler

It's gonna be Battlefront.

Both NFS and WWE 2K16 are embarrassing messes.

Beta was spotless even with 9.5M active players.

 

[Foffy]

WWE 2K is AAA?

 

[Nesther]

Beta was spotless even with 9.5M active players.

Yeah, I don't think Battlefront is going to be the one. Biggest EA beta ever and it ran incredibly smooth for me. I believe Dice is going to do everything they can not to repeat BF4.

 

[CrazyDude]

Leakers also don't seem to have much problems with FO4 so far.

 

[Hamster Plugin]

The poll winner is Fallout 4, that one is still to come.

Nah. It'll be Fallout if it's gonna be anything.

While it could be battlefront I don't know. Beta worked well and the game really isn't doing too much that's ambitious. Aside from server issues I don't suspect there will be huge technical issues

 

[#sorrynotsorry]

Both NFS and WWE 2K16 are embarrassing messes.

NFS is hardly unplayable. It's not broken, it just doesn't work well at all times. Not to imply I'm defending those frame drops.

 

[blackjaw]

Plenty of leakers out there with not many problems reported. Seems fine as of now.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

That, plus doesn't Beth do internal QA anyhow? Don't think they use any vendors for testing their games.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Honestly I'm surprised Rainbow Six and WWE aren't higher. But then again, I can see Fallout having some bugs. I don't know about it being "broken" though.

Oh, well that's good to know. I was going on track record :lol

 

[Possumowner]

The more i hear about Fallout 4 the less i think that will be a broken mess....its gonna be Rainbow Six

 

[Alucrid]

The more i hear about Fallout 4 the less i think that will be a broken mess....its gonna be Rainbow Six

i guess so since it's not even out until 2016

 

[Valkrai]

I'm expecting Battlefront to be. It could be another Battlefield 4.

 

[Nicktendo86]

This gen had been a compete and utter joke.

 

[Flintty]

I can't believe this is a thing.

Imagine sitting down in the cinema to watch The Force Awakens on launch day only to find that there was a glitch where Jar Jar's head was on Kylo Ren's body and then the movie froze and was unwatchable for the last ten minutes.

Not acceptable. I know coding videogames is a lot more complex and finding bugs even more so but it still shouldn't be a thing.

 

[Mendax]

naww man its december 1

 

[internetwolf]

Pre-ordered just about all of these, the GCU deals are too good to pass up.

 

[blackjaw]

Oh, well that's good to know. I was going on track record :lol

Yeah, most of the conplaonts from the leakers are about systems and not freezes or mission bugs, so that's something. I'm sure it's YMMV since it's such an open game but we will see!

 

[CHC]

The poll winner is Fallout 4, that one is still to come.

That will probably be the truest.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

That will probably be the truest.

From the leaks, it runs fine.

 

[Smokey_Run]

Rainbow Six. The matchmaking was a dumpster fire during the beta. I was constantly left searching for games or being placed in 5v2 games where the two players would leave immediately thus ending the game. It turned into quite the vicious cycle for me.

 

[Alucrid]

naww man its december 1

i thought it got pushed back to february

 

[LightofRohan]

Battlefronts beta was goddam flawless though, never had any lag issues or any drops or any problems finding a match. They were using alien technology for that beta test, but will probably go back to human stuff when th game releases.

I can't wait for it!

 

[Jeremy]

Wasn't it already determined that they were talking about THPS5? Sounds like a lot of people are placing their bets on RS3 and I have no idea about that game but I don't think any of the highest voted games will have problems.

Need for Speed didn't seem to be a complete mess in the sense that it's broken, just that it may not be very fun or a return to roots like they seemed to be pushing.

 

[Bsigg12]

That will probably be the truest.

Nothing game breaking or broken for me yet, 8 hours in.

 

[yanipheonu]

To be fair, having a father whose worked in various QA environments, QA is pretty universally disrespected, not just in games.

Turns out people don't like be told they're doing something wrong.
Even if it's really important.

 

[Ogimachi]

I'd even bet money on Fallout 4.

 

[Whompa02]

Fallout and Battlefront are easily going to take this...difference is I wont be annoyed when Fallout 4 bugs out.

 

[Cuzco]

Was anyone thinking Fallout wouldn't be littered with bugs? Isn't that how every bethesda game is?

 

[Ol No Bones]

In other news, sponges can be used to absorb liquids.

Is water still wet though? That's all I need to know.

 

[Elios83]

Syndicate wasn't broken or super bugged like some website suggested.
Crossing fingers for Fallout 4....I hope there aren't bugs that prevent story progression..

 

[majik13]

Maybe it was Battlefront, since many reported issues with the alpha(and the comments here) but since then DICE cleaned it up. At least the beta ran very smoothly, with a few bugs here and there. So maybe there wont be a huge bug riddled release.

Otherwise. the only one I can really think of is R6. I didnt have much issue with my limited beta play time. But many other did.

 

[Thebeardofknowledge]

Lame ass bump

 

[BHK3]

I thought AC was pretty damn buggy, at least the early copies were. Did the Day 1 patch make the game passable?

 

[system11]

Yeah the front runners in this poll are predictable. It's going to be fun to watch the world burn again.

 

[LegendofLex]

Please stop telling other people how to spend their money, folks

It's less about them "telling other people how to spend their money" and more about them "telling other people to stop influencing companies' expectations for their products to those products' detriment."

 

[Matrix XII]

My vote is for Battlefront.
