Loading times and checkpoints needs some work. Just died and it dropped me way way back. Graphics aside.. The gameplay feels good. Just like the first game the running etc feels fluid and you can keep up the flow easy. I liked the combat also atm. Feels like you are a bad ass with some moves.

Ive played the XboxOne version

Yeah it doesn't sound great but we still don't know what exactly is recommended for. They usually say medium or high settings.
If situation is not much better with the final release i will just lock it to 30fps. Because fps is really not stable at all, it drops from 60 to 30 for no reason. But it's beta, it's expected.
I think that for 50-60fps i should go with High settings once the game is released. There is no way 280x can handle stable 60fps on Ultra, and i think that 970 will have problem getting stable 60fps too.

Who knows how old this build is.
Because some of the Background City stuff looks kinda bad.

Hoping to get a PC code (or any code) to test out. Looking forward to the game.
Believe jackfrags said he played on a I7 with a 980 and had 1080p on ultra with 60fps. Could be they played a newer version offcourse at the press showing couple of weeks ago.

Yeah the build those people played doesnt have a watermark.
16GB is the recommended ram setting so that could be the issue

Not having enough RAM would introduce stuttering and pauses whenever something on-screen changes/triggers. It wouldn't necessarily reduce FPS.

By 'slowdown', do you mean the game lags during cutscenes? How does it look and play in general?Ive played the XboxOne version
280X for Ultra is way too optimistic.

Wait... 16GB is recommended? I'm just planning my first gaming PC build in 10 years and I didnt think we'd be seeing any games where 16 even made a difference for another few years.
Shit, maybe i should just go 32GB from the start lol!
16gb is the sweet spot nowadays if you plan on playing AAA games on PC.
It's not unheard of to have games asking for >10gb of system ram.

Yes Cutscenes sometimes struggle to keep the framerate.
And ive got some heavy slowdown in gameplay too where the game was running in slowmo or something.

Pre-rendered cutscenes is REALLY surprising... is it just for the opening? Because that is really odd.

Cutscenes after the Opening arent prerendered from my experience.

Yikes! Ok well 32GB it is (just in case lol)! Thanks for that tip.
Yeah i just got to that section with the view over the city and its just one blur. Like 360 blur. No way its gonna look like that at the end. I mean the Xbox is not a beast but its not that crap also. Atm Battlefront looks 10x better.
Garrett Hawke

Oh okay. Makes sense, would've been very odd in 2016
Idk, 60fps is really hard. Especially in games this big. I'm sure it'll be better but if it's currently 720p60 I don't see it moving :/ Frostbite doesn't seem to do too hot with XB1 hardware.Yeah i just got to that section with the view over the city and its just one blur.

No surprise for me either way.
Frostbite did the pre-rendered/movie cutscene to in-game transition in NFS.

Yeah, that looks like something's gone wrong. Textures aren't fully loaded which aren't helped by the clearly sub-1080p resolution.

I doubt it's going to look much better honestly. FB3 60fps games have been 720p on XBO and Battlefront's IQ is atrocious.

Those cutscenes still had real time elements tho, like your car would be added to the video
Most games nowadays forgo pre-rendered for space reasons & because high poly character models can work at runtime now
We'll see I guess

Wait, the game is 60fps on the One?!

Looks more like 720p with low settings atm. Wich seems to be abit to low.

We will need to wait til release because Battlefront improved significantly performance wise between the beta and release but LOD is usually one of the first things to get culled to hit 60fps on consoles so I don't think that sort of stuff will improve. Hopefully they will apply better AF to the textures tho as they seem very blurry.
Since I have nothing to play between now and Overwatch console beta, I'm in the same boat.

Frostbite games in general since the start of this Generation havent changed their target framerate and resolution after a Beta or even since the first 60FPS FB game on this Consoles..
Especially the games from DICE Sweden really havent changed in regards to Resolution and FPS. Its kind of a shame. But the Dev isnt really to blame here.
Lets look mainly at the 60fps Frostbite games:
- BF4 Retail = 720p60fps XboxOne and 900p60fps PS4 (First ever new Gen Frostbite Game)
- Hardline Beta = 720p60fps XboxOne and 900p60fps PS4 (Same specs for Retail)
- Battleffront Beta = 720p60fps XboxOne and 900p60fps PS4 (Same for Retail)
- ME Catalyst Beta = 720p60fps XboxOne and 900p60fps PS4
- Garden Warfare 2 Beta = 900p60fps XboxOne and 1080p 60fps PS4 (Same for Retail)
In most of the cases the 60fps werent quite achieved in this Betas but the Full Versions got really nice optimized and almost locked at 60fps. Battlefront is the best example of that. So i hope Mirrors Edge will follow this trend.
But yeah this probably wont change anytime soon until new Console Hardware drops.

Think even the pc version didnt look good really. Saw it yesterday on the IGN stream. And it was far far away from this.
That was from the E3 2013 in-engine teaser trailer, doubt that level of graphics would have made it into the final game.

I cannot seem to play the PC version at the moment. I launch it, and then after a long loading the game crashes. I guess I should try tomorrow?
They're apparently sending the e-mails out tomorrow while people are able to get codes from DICE today.
Yes, it boggles my mind how badly they've mismanaged this.
Garrett Hawke
Member
Battlefront was the same tho
DICE employees were giving out codes a day or two before emails went out

How is it mismanaged? Early promo codes for special people promoting the game, normal beta start is tomorrow with normal codes.
Frontrunners should get codes today to get their downloads done before the "beta stats" tomorrow. Not everyone is on blazing fast 1000Gb connections and EA should know this by now.

Who are the frontrunners? The people who registered ASAP?
Which is a good thing. Games should use as much VRAM as you have available.

Haven't started yet, are we allowed to stream this? If so, I'll stream some on my PS4 in a few.
