This is going to need a lot of Umbra 3D Technology to help framerate performance...

Pixel counts indicate that the Final Fantasy 15 Platinum Demo uses a dynamic resolution on both the Playstation 4 and Xbox One. The PS4 resolution seems to vary between 1600x900 and 1920x1080 while the Xbox One resolution seems to vary between 1344x756 and something close to 1690x950.

 

[GhostTrick]

Dynamic resolution ? Nailed it.
Also, framerate is terribad :/

 

[kewlmyc]

Hopefully this improves before the final release.

 

[Wagram]

The frame rate is booty.

 

[Kagari]

How old is this demo, is my question.

 

[23qwerty]

games still 7 months away, plenty of time for optimization, no?

 

[Sn4ke_911]

How old is this demo, is my question.

According to Square Enix not that old.

The purpose of the demo, according to Square Enix, is to give players a look at the finished game's visuals, as well as introduce them to the final combat and magic systems.

I certainly hope so.

 

[Nibel]

How old is this demo, is my question.

I want to know about this so much

 

[Elios83]

Yeah I noticed that resolution has been improved compared to Duscae.
Frame rate still needs work (but at least on PS4 is not terrible).

 

[Abriael]

According to Square Enix not that old.

Finished game's visuals. Not frame rate or performance.

They're different concepts.

 

[Uncle Sensei]

Hopefully it gets better. The game looks pretty excellent otherwise

 

[Loudninja]

They said they are working on the framerate atleast.

 

[Ray Down]

Finished game's visuals. Not frame rate or performance.

This, I think SE is still optimizing.

Tabata said there really aiming for a stable frame rate.

 

[plasmawave]

The frame rate looks totally fine for the most part. The problem is more with the frame pacing.

 

[Boke1879]

The resolution is fine. 7 months out out to optimize everything. That should be top priority.

 

[PKMNTrainer]

Umbra save us.

Resolution being dynamic is honestly a pretty good deal. They should be able to get some considerable optimization done in the next 6 months, but I still expect mostly 30 with dips.

 

[Robiin]

Don't worry, it will play well...

Spoiler

... on PS4K and Xbox 1.5

 

[Respawn]

According to Square Enix not that old.

That's more towards visuals

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Finished game's visuals. Not frame rate or performance.

They're different concepts.

So you think they finished the game's visuals a long time ago and this is just an old demo?

and it's not just the frame rate that needs work, the IQ and aliasing is horrendous too.

 

[rdytoroll]

Oh Lord, they gotta work on that framerate till release

 

[Bousf]

They still have time to polish, I would assume they have little left other than that so I can only hope they get to a decent point of stability. Resolution isn't that big a deal for me, but I want the framerate to stay as put as it can.

 

[Windam]

y u do dat

 

[Boke1879]

As they should. They have so much time. The visuals are fine. I'm sure they'll be locking down final resolution and FR in the next few months.

 

[GravityInsanity]

13fps...

Spoiler

good thing its a demo

 

[orochi91]

Not worried.

They've got 7 months to work out the kinks :3

Still waiting for that Duscae 3.0 though.

 

[malfcn]

Just get frame rate under control. They have time to optimize.

 

[CrimsonSquall]

Demo played like an early kh level. I'm going to have a ton of fun with this, if the framerate keeps up in september

 

[GhostTrick]

Not worried.

Far less than that. The game gets released in 6 months. But by the time it gets gold ? 5 months I'd say.

 

[Ray Down]

No, the team should just finish the game.

 

[FATALITY]

ps4k cant come soon enough

 

[Boke1879]

This is the biggest takeaway by me. When you are in the room with the furniture and you're small. Felt so much like KH. They got time to nail framerate and with this fanbase being outspoken I have no doubts it'll be fine. Or at the very least acceptable.

 

[Philippo]

How old is this demo, is my question.

Yeah that's what i'm thinking.
They said beta/polishing phase started in November, which is also when they started talking about this demo iirc, i think the build is from that period too.

I'm still pretty optimist about the final game's graphics and performance (at least on PS4).

 

[Darius]

Had a chance to play the demo framerate was quite low especially right in the beginning (Platinum Demo/PS4 version).

 

[orochi91]

Far less than that. The game gets released in 6 months. But by the time it gets gold ? 5 months I'd say.

Day 1 patch gonna be mighty impressive...I hope.

 

[Aters]

Far less than that. The game gets released in 6 months. But by the time it gets gold ? 5 months I'd say.

First day patch is a thing.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

The game isn't being worked on up until release like that.

They have maybe 3 months for any drastic behind the scenes changes, then after that, we have to pray patches save the day for any series issues.

I'm guessing the day 1 patch for this game will be Witcher 3 huge.

 

[UmbraeCruxis]

Doesn't actually look that bad imo. Some noteable frame drops for sure, but not as bad as I was expecting admittedly. I think a few more months in the oven will do it a lot of good.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

According to Square Enix not that old.

Ooooof @ the bolded. Not looking good for that, haha. Both were absolutely subpar.

 

[Zombie James]

Looks pretty shoddy right now :/

Patches are a thing and games these days pretty much are being worked on right up until release. You can bet your ass ND is still doing shit to optimize the hell out of UC4

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Framerate doesn't even seem too bad outside of cutscenes but that frame pacing on PS4 is dreadful.

 

[Boke1879]

Ooooof @ the bolded. Not looking good for that, haha. Both were absolutely subpar.

Again their visuals are fine. They just gotta nail framerate in the coming months.

 

[Ishida]

Again their visuals are fine. They just gotta nail framerate in the coming months.

And they need a pretty good solution for anti aliasing. The hair of the characters suffers a lot for this.

 

[Stereogatari]

Why can't they achieve a stable 30fps? Is the PS4 really that weak that they can't get it to run their vision smoothly.

It makes me wonder what kind of shit show was going on when it was a PS3 game.

 

[Neo_Geo]

That XBone frametime graph, fuck.

 

[Insane Metal]

And it still looks like crap. Downloaded, hated it. Deleted already. Horrible controls, framerate didn't seem solid, jaggies everywhere, blurred textures all over the place and so on.

 

[Indelible]

I did notice the framerate being really bad at the end of the demo when you fought that giant monster, hopefully the full game has atleast a steady 30 frames.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

The game has gone gold.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

There is only so much a patch can be expected to do. True serious optimization is on the engine and that's not something they often fuck with in patches.
