I'm the one with the heavy French accent, you might be talking about driftwood
Opinions...
You're lucky. I had issues playing GTA 5 on PS4 due to the stuttering when drivin through town. If the XO version continues as it does in the clips, I wouldn't be able to play it.
That being said, back when I used to have a gaming PC, the stutter you're speaking of would drive me insane. Since transitioning to console gaming, it's a lot less noticeable for me.

The fuck? Did YOU just started to game the past few years with smartphones or something? Because gens lasted at least 5 years.
What?! Are You crazy?

DF will declare the xbone the winner due to dynamic resolution or AF. Or maybe it'll end up as a draw.

NX Gamer Xbox One analysis.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVphjF8XCFE
Game runs unlocked, above 30FPS for most part, frame pacing issues, subnative display for the most part.
Patch improved framerate in cutscenes at cost of AF.

Nice analysis.
Sucks they removed AO to improve the framerate...
I would love to see the PS4 version analysis pre and post patch.

yup, I could tell that a lot of the drops were actually a frame pacing issue, I said so a while back. This is great because it can be fixed pretty easily.

Mindblown, they got the game running above 30 FPS. Lock it down to 30 tho.

I could see the last minute jump to dynamic resolution caused quite a bit of trouble. Hopefully they patch the frame pacing issues soon. At least we'd would end up with a solid 30FPS then.

Not really mind blowing, seeing as they halved or even quartered the AF and nixed the AO.
Both hugely important to the overall image quality.
I remember this happening with Infamous: SS as well.
Why don't they just lock to 30... framerate stutter problem solved?

Has Anisotropic Filtering become the boogeyman in console development?
I can't watch this yet so I'll ask this here: Does he say how he played the PC version? was he at the youtuber event?
Oh ffs, not this stupid conspiracy crap again.

As one who owns both consoles, the analysis comparing the two has led me to believe controller preference is all I should focus on this time. It sounds like both could run a locked 30 fps and both have technical niggles at this time.
There is still that resolution gap though. NXGamer states that the XB1 version is running at 1600x900 the majority of the time.

I can't believe there are people that give enough of a shit about - how the conclusion will be used as ammo in GAMEFAQS console warz - that they're willing to make themselves sound like gaming's very own Alex Jones. "They hate my precious company! Its a conspiracy!" downright pathetic
He does compare the pc version to the consoles. Though he doesn't mention if he played at an even or has early copies.
H3 says texture, resolution, draw distant, etc are better on PC.

They removed occlusion and reduced the AF.
Conclusion :
DON'T PATCH IT ON XBONE
I believe he said only in the cutscenes, but during the game it was untouched. Another touch was they fixed the shadows and the glitching, that's pretty huge because it's distracting, it also looks like the average frame rate is better post patch. I would say you're better off with the patch overall.
ah, ok. thanks!

No, framepacing is a seperate issue, but a locked framerate will make it judder less...that can be fixed too tho.
He's a habitual liar.
he recommends the game and the ps4 version is the only one he's played but im sure he's going out of his way to lie and personally hurt your console of choice.

What are you talking about? This is a well done port that looks great and performs pretty well.
This is their first Witcher game CDPR put out for consoles alongside the PC version. These games are notorious for pushing hardware.
Comparatively, if Crysis in 2007 had hit consoles, we probably would have been able to run with the same tired narrative. Because that would have brought those last gen systems to their knees if it launched in 2007.
They are just going for dat authentic Skyrim PS3 feel.
The 360 controller was the undisputed champion of last gen. I'm a Sony fan and still feel this.
The One controller actually take a step backwards in some ways compared to that. Vastly superior, you say? Not sure that's nearly as close to universal as last gen.

lol. Every 30fps game ever runs above 30 if you unlock the fps. You need headroom for a stable framerate in demanding situations. Just imagine what a game like Drive Club needs to run at to never ever drop a frame in those crazy weather conditions.
He is playing without the patch, which is why nobody else is reporting this.
Wow as i thought, didnt look like framedrops in the gamersyde footage
Then xbone almost certainly has a better framerate than ps4 since it obviously drops sometimes
So we are looking at another dragon age inquisition situation: Xbone wins framerate at the cost of lower resolution.
Imo framerate >>>>>> resolution so xbone version for me it seems
I need to see how often and badly the ps4 is dropping before deciding. terrible frame pacing that's always there is more distracting than having hard drops in certain situations. hopefully people tweet CDPR so they can get a day two patch for the frame pacing.

So the issue isn't that the XB1 version runs below 30 fps, but that they didn't properly lock it to 30 fps (which should be easier to fix, I suppose)

You aren't basing this on any empirical evidence. Most people have said that the PS4 framerate is marginally smoother at this stage. Let's wait and see.
Also, it does seem the Xbone version might have been the lead platform given how similar the game looks across platforms and it seems to be averaging over 30fps. In the 900p vs 1080p situation, the ps4 should be capable of running at the higher resolution with at least the same fps as Xbone.
Lol. What's the fucking point to talk of superior controller in such thread? Jeez. We are talking of the graphic difference, I see tons of defensiveness post without any reason.
Or maybe will see another Dying Light situation. DA Inquisition runs at 900p not use dynamic res, so this game could even run worse of ps4 for this choice.

Ugh, I really hope the PS4 version doesn't have frame-pacing issues.
I don't know whether to play this game at launch or wait a few weeks for it to be patched. But I doubt I'll have the patience to do the latter. Lol.

One of the many things that make PC gaming so awesome these days... You can just fix frame pacing issues and unlocked frame rates yourself without relying on the developer and patches that are stuck in certification for weeks.
