For the tinfoil hatters, I'm going to start keeping track of the games MS has a marketing deal with that perform better on XBO than PS4. If there's a pattern it should emerge.

I doubt there's anything to it, but it's a simple thing to check. Enough ducks in a row, coincidence stops being a likely answer. But I can't imagine there's anything here.

 

[Toki767]

So framerate is better on Xbox One outside, but better on PS4 indoors or something.

 

[photogaz]

LOL, this can't be right. Maybe I'm wrong but is the crowd in the PS4 version higher detail slightly more of them.

 

[J4g3r]

For once, I'm glad that the game releases here on Friday.

Just cancelled my Amazon pre-order just in time. I'll wait to see if they fix this game down the line, if they don't? No sale from me.

What a god damn shame...

 

[Kayant]

I guess that CPU clock speed is finally showing pair that with the updated drivers since launch and the game being so heavy on AI otherwise it doesn't make much sense given that PS4 alwasy generally has the better framerate.

Also lool at the performance. Game is truly a mess.

 

[Teletraan1]

Fuck that gap closing. The streams just crossed. Secret Sauce confirmed.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

This framerate is UNACCEPTABLE. I will ask for a refund as soon as I will have my copy from Amazon.

so you bought a game before there were any reviews out, without knowing how it performs, and now it's unacceptable? Perhaps if you didn't put money down in advance the publishers would've been less inclined to release a game that performs terribly.

 

[d9b]

Lol!

In that video is the xb1 the green or blue line?

Laughing out loud

 

[Insane Metal]

God damn the framerate on PS4 is absolutely atrocious. Unacceptable. On the XBone it's better, but still sucks.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Sounds like the XB1 was the lead platform with little to no optimization for the PS4. Quite a shame.

 

[Cat Party]

It's reasonably clear this was a total rush job. The parity talk was pr speak to try to cover their asses for this shitshow.

 

[jond76]

Looks like I chose the right Ubisoft game to buy today... Shape Up!

 

[plasmawave]

Wut.

 

[Alienous]

I don't understand the disparity. The Xbox One framerate is significantly better in some places.

The hardware should be there for the PS4 to keep up. Hopefully performance enhancements will be possible through patches and further optimisation. I won't be playing or purchasing the game until then.

its not better by much.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

This shit is sub-25fps bruh

 

[Culex]

If you are CPU limited in a particular scenario GPU power is immaterial for that scenario.

Unless you use the added headroom of the GPU to use cycles instead of the CPU...which the PS4 clearly has the headroom for.

 

[jelly]

Reviews could have been more harsh, that is some shoddy performance and that's before the other game flaws. Ubisoft is getting off lightly if Unity sells well.

 

[toddhunter]

So framerate is better on Xbox One outside, but better on PS4 indoors or something.

PS4 is apparently better during actual gameplay. So 99% of the time the xb1 will have the performance edge.

Cant wait to see what happens with The Witcher 3 which seems to be the next in line.


CDProject have said some iffy stuff over the last few months about the subject and I dont have the boner some other people have for them so I am super suspect.

 

[daveo42]

In most cases, yes. But both systems are capable of GPGPU to make up for the fact they both have an underpowered CPU.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

Nah, Xbone was probably the lead system because of M$

 

[somuchwater]

Ah well. Had high hopes for this game.

Then again, (I think?) Brotherhood on PS3 was ~20fps and I ended up enjoying that. So maybe it'll be patched slightly and will be okay?

 

[WickedLaharl]

 

[DarthWalden]

For the love of esram how did Ubisoft screw this up so bad.

 

[Kezen]

MS co-marketing dollars at work.

You can't seriously believe that, can you ?

Explanation: Indoor the cloud is blocked from view.

 

[aravuus]

Ahahahaha

 

[jett]

Cerny on sudoku watch.

 

[ironcreed]

I did not see that one coming. I bought the ps4 version expecting it to at least have some sort of advantage.

 

[Seanspeed]

Of course it's gonna run better on Xbone.
They made the game for it.

In my mind they made it on xbone ported paritied it over to PS4 which is why we have the same mess on both systems

that M$

In your mind indeed. Very apt of you to phrase it like that.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

Considering the complaints about the tedium, I don't think this is the game to hold up as "gameplay over literally any technical aspect"

For sure, but it was still an effort to utilize the hardware for something other than shiny.

 

[Kacho]

Buying this for Xbox One right now.

 

[phanphare]

Inb4 "console hardware couldn't match our vision"

you can't just solve shit cpu perf with gpu compute. some things just can't be made parallel.

HAHAHAHA. 10/10. Thread's over.

 

[The Llama]

Sony would NEVER pay for a co-marketing deal!

 

[James1o1o]

We were never told the final speed of the PS4 CPU, so it is possible but highly illogical that Ubi wouldn't use GPGPU to make up the difference needed. It does beg the question as to how hard they actually tried to push the new systems.

Of course not, that would require some effort from Ubisoft.

 

[LukasTaves]

The CPU clock speed is roughly 10% higher on XB1 I thought.

But it being only 10%, what explains the framerate delta, that can be bigger than that?

 

[danowat]

Nah, Xbone was probably the lead system because of M$

Do you truly believe that a developer would deliberately hobble a version of the game (on the more powerful console) if they were asked too?

 

[omonimo]

You can't seriously believe that, can you ?

Wait what should be unbelievable?

 

[mike4001_]

So if we explain this with the slightly stronger CPU on the XB1, this means there is a lot of GPU headroom left on the PS4 that was wasted for parity. Meanining PS4 version could run with identical (terrible) frames but at least at a higher resolution/better AA, etc.

Well ... no.

While there is still GPU power left, also the CPU needs (some / not extremely) more power when rendering at higher resolutions.

 

[User 479360]

I've been playing it over the last 2 days, and the X1 version definitely has frame rate issues. I notice them most when I'm indoors of all places. For example, there's one empty cathedral you have to do a puzzle in early on, and it kept having frame rate issues. Then, there was another indoor place that did as well.

Outside, it's not too bad.
