They hate the number 720p - it has a huge negative connotation when it comes to the Xbone.
In fairness, they say it is "heavily modified", which could easily be market spin.
Or they could have screwed up those heavy modifications

i understand that but the hardware nevertheless is a step above last gen. The game isn't pushing the graphics envelope...at all. And I thought one reason for 6 vs. 6 was to avoid these kind of problems. so what gives?
i wonder if going to 720p would've helped much.
you really think it was rushed? I mean I know its EA but I don't think respawn or MS would allow that to happen. Then again...considering x1 sales...
I dunno what to thinkk.

Y'all are making a big deal out of nothing. If the game is fun then some slowdown won't matter. I get that it's an online only shooter and fidelity and all that jazz, but if it's fun you'll barely notice. My shitty PC making the first borderlands chug and tear did not lessen my enjoyment of the game. I don't even have an X1 and I'm tired of people shitting on TF.

Why do I have a hard time believing "single-digits"?
Just ignore him, he'll meet the banhammer soon enough if he keeps going.
Source engine running shit on a weak CPU. Not surprising.
Eyeballing framerate is technical now?

It's the new rule for AAA and especially online titles, don't even touch them for at least a week after launch if you want the best first experience.
Drops to 30 FPS make fast paced CoD-like shooters less enjoyable.
There's a point where the "doesn't matter ITS FUN" mantra just doesn't hold water for me, and that point is FPS. Resolution? Sure, for some people it doesn't matter at all. But defending FPS drops because the game is just so fun!, I think that's absurd.
Respawn even came out and said the eSRAM is the problem, not the CPU.

makes you think about their priorities.
you'd think it would be, maximum amount of titans explosions everywhere, keep solid 50-60fps.
readjust resolutions and effects and graphics textures to accomplish that, and build from there.

They need to know their limits.
I knew the player count, and the lack of options, was because of the game not being capable. I thought they had pushed the Xbox One as far as they could, but they've pushed it further.
Drops to 54fps, maybe. But not drops to 30. And not drops to below 10. Damn.

Maybe they should have stuck with 720p for now as in the beta I had no issues whatsoever seems odd that these issues would crop up now especially in the retail build.
That's the thing, people like Jeff usually don't comment too heavily on technical details unless there is REALLY something wrong. They aren't overly sensitive to those things.
The beta was already a mess in that regard with frequent drops to the 30s and constant screen tearing. It was pretty awful.
For someone like Jeff to describe the game as running with a single digit framerate at some points makes me think it's even worse than the beta.
Performance was lousy in the beta.
That said, you might be in luck. If you did not notice problems in the beta then you are not sensitive to them and shouldn't have any issues.
They've got two options if they want my money, lock it to 10fps and give me graphics superior to last gen or unlock the the secondary GPU in the power brick and give me 1080p and 60fps. I'd prefer the latter option.
Ps. What is taking MS so long in releasing the secondary GPU? If they leave it too late, Sony will have to big of a lead to catch up.

I actually refuse to believe this is true. Like, holy shit no way.

Exactly! See my post about 10 before yours. Now if there are server issues for an extended period of time once 500,000 people try to play at once then let the shit show commence.

That's not at all what happened.
The patch did not solve all of the performance issues. It still drops pretty hard at points even with the most recent version of the game.
Still, it's worlds beyond where the game was when shown running at 1080p originally. The framerate in that instance was beyond words.

So did Skyrim and it was unplayable on PS3, yet it still went on to win numerous goty awards.

With top-of-the-line PCs and settings maxed? Otherwise, how do we know it's not just a case of asking the PC to do more than it's capable of?
At least with the X1, we know that the game should run good, because Respawn should know the technical capabilities of it and design it to those specifications.
Well, it was unacceptable to me (I played on PC), but I DO know several people that played through it on PS3 without any problems.
Those problems were very much real, but you could still have a good experience without bumping into them.
It was still less problematic than Morrowind on Xbox.
Yep. Thankfully, Sony gave us a system more capable. It's still not what I was hoping for, but it's stomping Xbox One's ass.
In the post DF era of gaming? Yep. If you're going to put yourself out there, you had better be right. Games journos can't even eyeball resolution. How can you take them seriously with eyeballing framerate?
I'm not blasting Jeff here, but he's not a technical guru so just take the comments with grains of salt.

I disagree. I played through Borderlands 2 on my 360 all the way to 72...logged a LOT of hours in that game. There were frame rate slow downs into sub-30 I'm guessing, but it was still playable and mostly enjoyable, though noticeable.
HOWEVER, after it arrived on PS+ a few months ago, I started playing it on my PS3. It turns into a huge single-digit slide show anytime I have 3-4 players going (sometimes 2) especially when there's conference call shotguns and/or commando turrets involved. It's completely unplayable at that point, and I just sit back and start letting my turret or other players do their thing. It has also locked up at times due to heavy action with 4 players on. Mind you, this isn't a dig at PS3, rather, those types of issues made the PS3 play a lot less fun than the 360 game play, to the point that I go private, single player through everything now unless I need a 2nd player.

The feel of single digits.
In the beta, I was running it on a mid range PC and after disabling in game V-sync, setting textures to high (not insane) the game ran pretty well.

The standards will rise again when Infamous SS releases, at least as far as Polygon's concerned.

Borderlands isn't a competitive-only shooter. This is a thread about the technical stuff, being concerned about and also still thinking the game is fun isn't mutually exclusive.

Not surprised. Killzone does this too.
It would be one thing if he was making very detailed observations about the performance of the game, it's a completely different thing to say "hey there are times were this game runs like fucking garbage." I don't think anyone needed a DF report to know that Dark Souls ran at a horrible framerate in Blighttown.
It might not actually have been in the single digits, but if it was anywhere close, that's really bad.
The esram explains the resolution, not the framerate. If it was affecting the framerate, respawn wouldn't be thinking of optimizing the game up to 1080p. Sounds like the cpu is hurting the framerate.
And lol at people thinking that slightly dropping the resolution to 720p will significantly help the framerate.

Not after ResolutionGate.
As I said, he's not making a detailed judgement here. Most journos are WAYYYYY too forgiving when it comes to judging framerates and tend to avoid making real comments as a result.
When they DO complain, though, it often winds up being worse than expected.

Not sure what you're disagreeing with. Can we wait until this game is in everyone's hands tomorrow before we call it unplayable is all I'm really saying. Can we agree that for every 10 posts in here there is probably one XB1 owner.

It wouldn't surprise me if the game was patched after launch to 720p. If it is having performance issues, it would be better to lower the resolution and improve the experience. I think the whole 792p shenanigans have more to do with trying to improve their chances during the "review season" for this game by avoiding the whole "only 720p" label which is more tangible for the average person, while framerate variations get swept under the rug for the most part.
Yeah. Though to be fair, Jeff notes one specific instance of "what must've have been" single digit FPS. It seems to me certain GAFers are are trying to making it bigger than that.

This is true. It's just starting to feel a lot like a shit on TF circlejerk. I get that it happens before every major game release, but it seems like people are going extra hard on TF. I guess you can't have the level of hype surrounding TF without the same level of anti-hype.
Agreed. If it shits the bed and we need a Disaster Watch people should raise hell.

You just opened up an old wound I had tried to forget about. Never did finish it on console. God it got horrible to play after awhile.
Prediction:
Three weeks from now - something is dropped. Probably resolution. Buttocks crowd roars.
Six weeks from now- AA is dropped, few things are tweeked, game is at 60fps in a state that will be announced as 1080p but won't be native. Buttocks is dismissed again, crowd roars. Skeptics call attention to the non-native resolution and cut back AA. Console warriors fight to a bloody death.
12 weeks from now - People realize we are talking about a FPS here, not Shakespeare, and all of this is forgotten. Every 15-year-old goes back to banging your mother via Live.
I think if it's true at all, this is the actual truth.
People say 'lol Source' a lot, but the requirements to get Source games to run much better than this are almost non-existent, anything runs Source games great, and the lighting since Lost Coast has been much nicer than on show here.

Did for me, drove me crazy - so much so I took ps3 version back to store and traded it plus more money for a 360 version - which still sucked but not 'as bad'.
The whole point of buying next gen console for me was not having to put up with this crap again.
If I was happy about it I would still be buying all games on 360, but I am not.
Its not just TF, its any game, its 2014, this should be gone.
