[Xater]

Well Gamersglobal.de mentioned in their negatives section for graphics that the Xbone version suffers from frame rate drops, tearing and too much aliasing.

Maybe they could have gotten it to run better if they had more time, but gotta get shit out before the fiscal year ends!

 

[Guevara]

Man, welcome to next gen.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

IMO this is kinda redeeming for CBOAT.

IW/Respawn are all about gameplay smoothness. I can totally imagine a scenario where Zampella went to EA/MS, said they need to drop res and texture quality, but were refused.

No, just no. This in no way redeems CBOAT's alpha res rumor.

Spoiler

Not that I feel we need to crucify CBOAT over it either, though.

 

[Boudica]

Watch the reviews not reflect this lol For a multiplayer only game, a solid framerate is a prime component for a stellar experience.

 

[Radec]

Who here expects a "locked" 60fps on a console anyway ?

 

[jetjevons]

Game looks like ass and still runs like ass. Second Son is out pretty soon and MS doesn't have anything graphically to compete. Quite sad.

What the what? How are the two games even remotely comparable? C'mon man. You can troll better than that.

 

[The Wizard]

This sentence seems to confirm the bots being cloud-based which is gonna make latency issues very noticeable.

In pre-release testing, I ran into a few cases where the latency would spike, causing AI opposition to seize up and enemy titans to halt, mid-dash.

 

[Armaros]

So how many launch reviews are going to ignore framerate issues I wonder?

 

[Prelude.]

Framerate has been dethroned.

 

[djshauny]

Source engine?

 

[mckmas8808]

This gets 9s and 10s.

On a multiplayer game no less.

 

[LeBart]

Who here expects a "locked" 60fps on a console anyway ?

Single digits though...

On a multiplayer game no less.

That costs $60, even on PC.

 

[marrec]

Who here expects a "locked" 60fps on a console anyway ?

Locked 60 is a pie in the sky dream, but frame stutters as bad as being mentioned have the chance to really ruin the experience.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Who here expects a "locked" 60fps on a console anyway ?

Call of Duty certainly never dropped to single-digits.

 

[kingocfs]

I've seen some complaints about lackluster optimization on the PC, too. I haven't tried it yet but I'm a bit worried about how it's going to play on my mid-range machine.

 

[SJRB]

Is Jeff really the only one reporting on this shit amidst an avalanche of 9's?

Incredible.

 

[JaggedSac]

XBoned

 

[ElTorro]

Fix this shit Guerrilla.

I hope that they can pull it off with post-launch patches.

Source engine?

Holy hell. This comment won't die no matter how often one repeats that the game has a completely new renderer.

 

[EventHorizon]

Umm...We are having a few issues over here. If someone would be so kind as to hit the cloud reset button, that would be great.

Thanks,
Respawn

 

[DieH@rd]

Figures its Titans related. The only visual thing i think looks good in the game are the Titan animations, everything is else is forgettable from a visual perspective

I hope they use a better engine next time around, perhaps Frostbite

Sadly, Frostbite3 cannot be licensed outside of EA. That's now their internal engine.

I really hope that they will not stick with modified Source when they go with full nextgen-only release with Titanfall 2.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

Fix this shit Guerrilla.

I hope that they can pull it off with post-launch patches.

Oh Lawd!

 

[Atlas157]

I'm surprised that it can't even handle a game running on an ancient engine...

 

[DidntKnowJack]

GB obviously wasn't playing in an environment where they were able to have the benefit of the cloud. I'm sure that would have eliminated this issue.

Seriously though, I think people are making a mountain out of a molehill with this. Jeff described an occurrence that in all likelihood is fairly rare. While not ideal and the screen tearing is actually more of an annoyance, I think overall this isn't going to be that big a deal.

 

[OdysseusVA]

This sentence seems to confirm the bots being cloud-based which is gonna make latency issues very noticeable.

The power of the cloud

9/10

 

[Xater]

Is Jeff really the only one reporting on this shit amidst an avalanche of 9's?

Incredible.

No I just mentioned a German website complaining about it as well.

 

[Rizsparky]

Power of the cloud, not even once.

 

[Demon Ice]

Just a reminder, the game looks like this:

and not only can it not maintain the advertised 60 FPS, but it actually drops into the single digits.

 

[Patryn]

It it's experiencing issues on the XBox One, what the hell does the 360 version look like?

 

[StuBurns]

Holy hell. This comment won't die no matter how often one repeats that the game has a completely new renderer.

Damn right, Source's lighting is far better.

 

[Revven]

Is Jeff really the only one reporting on this shit amidst an avalanche of 9's?

Incredible.

Not terribly shocking. It's pretty clear game reviewers could care less about technical flaws when they've been won over by the marketing/hype of the game.

 

[Dunlop]

What the what? How are the two games even remotely comparable? C'mon man. You can troll better than that.

.

Still on the fence to pick this up, not sure if my old ass PC can run this

GIMME A DEMO!!!!

 

[gigantor21]

What the fuck? -_-

It shouldn't be having any such problems running on the Xbox One. It's not fucking Crysis.

 

[dynamitejim]

Why didn't they just use UE3? We know it's a work horse of an engine by now. Especially with a last gen version in the works.

 

[DieH@rd]

It it's experiencing issues on the XBox One, what the hell does the 360 version look like?

They are hiding away X360 version like it has plague.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Just a reminder, the game looks like this:



and not only can it not maintain the advertised 60 FPS, but it actually drops into the single digits.

I don't know what to say...

 

[Ridley327]

Is Jeff really the only one reporting on this shit amidst an avalanche of 9's?

Incredible.

Gies mentions it in the Polygon review, but he downplays it.

 

[Nintyb]

It it's experiencing issues on the XBox One, what the hell does the 360 version look like?

Maybe that's why we haven't seen anything of it.

 

[Friction]

So it's the same experience with the Beta. Honestly, what bothers me more is the tearing.

It's still going to be awesome though.

 

[Y2Kev]

I'm gonna guess single digits is an exaggeration.

 

[SteveWinwood]

so play on the pc

you already know this version has a not that great resolution and doesnt look that great

if you care about these things get these games on the computer

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

So hold up.

If this is a problem in the finished, retail game... how the fuck is it still getting such high review scores?

I mean, it's easy to just say money's changing hands, and I wouldn't be surprised if that really was the case... but can reviewers genuinely be this blind to such a glaring issue in a multiplayer shooter, where framerate absolutely matters?

 

[Beth Cyra]

GB obviously wasn't playing in an environment where they were able to have the benefit of the cloud. I'm sure that would have eliminated this issue.

Seriously though, I think people are making a mountain out of a molehill with this. Jeff described an occurrence that in all likelihood is fairly rare. While not ideal and the screen tearing is actually more of an annoyance, I think overall this isn't going to be that big a deal.

This sounds like bullshit. They have an entire mode for the Titans and those seem to be the source of the problems.

 

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

Isn't there a day one patch?

 

[Corine]

So how many launch reviews are going to ignore framerate issues I wonder?

They ignored them for games like TLOU so why would they start taking points off now?

 

[Hoo-doo]

Just a reminder, the game looks like this:



and not only can it not maintain the advertised 60 FPS, but it actually drops into the single digits.

What? That's not possible.

That looks, without added snark, like a 360 game.

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

CBOAT got the last laugh, eh?

This is terrible if true. Is there any recorded footage of such droppage?

 

[Neuromancer]

I'm gonna guess single digits is an exaggeration.

The Digital Foundry piece on this game is going to be a riot, either way.

 

[MavFan619]

The scores are clearly not taking these things into account and that's why video game journalism is a farce.
The game is a lot of fun, but you can't excuse this shit. They pulled the same bullshit with skyrim.

Remember when resolution didn't really matter over the last few months? Now apparently for some of these reviewers framerate doesn't either? And bad framerate directly hinders fun.

 

[twobear]

What? That's not possible.

That looks, without added snark, like a 360 game.

Weird; almost as though it's a 360 game.

 

[Xater]

I'm gonna guess single digits is an exaggeration.

Must be. Gamersglobal mentions it's noticeable but it's doesn't drop into unplayable territory. It's not the advertised solid 60 though.
