Well, we were waiting for word from DF and here it is. A final twist in the tale!

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/d...xed-and-whats-not-in-the-cod-ghosts-ps4-patch

Taking the affected clips and running them through our performance analysis tools, we expected the results to show clear frame-rate drops and small bouts of tearing, but surprisingly this wasn't the case at all, with the results showing us a largely locked 60FPS bar one or two minor dips and a solitary torn frame. Furthermore, when seeking through the footage in performance-affected areas we were confronted with unique frames on a consistent basis, thus indicating a 60fps update that we just didn't feel when playing the game.

So just what is going on? Well, a close look at our captures reveals that Call of Duty: Ghosts actually runs at higher frame-rates than 60fps on a fairly frequent basis, despite the video output being limited to 60Hz

BAM! How bizarre.
Still needs fixed, of course.

 

[MikeE21286]

That's just....weird. Probably something IW didn't expect or account for.

 

[SniperHunter]

Should be easy to fix


Looks likr that gaffer was right about the ps4 code running at 90 fps

 

[BadAss2961]

How bout some vsync?

 

[dragonelite]

So the rumors where true porting cod took like 3 weeks and running at 90 fps or something like that?

 

[djshauny]

How bout some vsync?

That.

 

[MrChocolate]

What now PC owners? What now?

 

[Xater]

If that is the case, shouldn't that be a thing that's easy to fix?

 

[lupinko]

So frame rises over 60fps are bad now?

 

[gigantor21]

Wat.

 

[Yoshichan]

120fps

Ken Kutaragi was right all along

 

[Foshy]

So basically, CoD on PS4 is too good?

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

lol, what a twist

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

I wonder if Polygon will update their review if this gets resolved in a patch........riiiiiiight.

 

[KZObsessed]

PS4 just too damn powerful. Or not.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

The PS4 is clearly too strong for CoD.

 

[Skeff]

Over delivering on frames. Lock it IW!

 

[feint_ruled]

So frame rises over 60fps are bad now?

If your TV can only show 60, then yes!

 

[Maninthemirror]

Ps4 is too powerful for its own good

Edit: beaten

 

[robertsan21]

THAT PS4!

 

[Impeccable]

Playstation 4 is better than PC gaming confirmed.

 

[Drek]

Infinity Ward has turned into such a shit studio. How in hell do you make this kind of mistake?

 

[teiresias]

So PS4 is 1080p/+60fps, nice!!

 

[Hellsing321]

So frame rises over 60fps are bad now?

If your TV only has a 60hz refresh rate then yes.

 

[ymmv]

I wonder if Polygon will update their review if this gets resolved in a patch........riiiiiiight.

Never in a million years.

 

[Jrs3000]

The PS4 is clearly too strong for CoD.

Kind of funny to stay the framerate skips because it's too fast going over 60. Sounds like a good problem to have, lets get cod at 120fps!!

 

[Paches]

240FPS PACHTER WAS RIGHT

 

[farisr]

So there may have been some truth to that "Call Of Duty unoptimized on PS4 running at 90fps" rumor that was going around a while back.

 

[Neuromancer]

Your pitiful human eyes can not accept the excessively high frame rate of the PS4.

 

[phuturist]

That is hilarious.

Just how bad did IW do their job?

 

[Dead Prince]

haven't read but does the ps4 version even dip below 60 and if it doesn't why didn't IW bother not to lock it?

 

[Can Crusher]

TWIST

 

[StreetsAhead]

PS4 is too future confirmed.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

120fps

Ken Kutaragi was right all along

His vision came to fruition.

 

[SeanR1221]

Haha this whole story has been incredible.

Someone needs to make a detailed time line.

 

[Tain]

lol this is so weird

this sounds like Killer Is Dead but it runs good

 

[gtj1092]

The perfect final twist. Is the gap really that big between x1 and ps4?

 

[Mung]

I wonder if Polygon will update their review if this gets resolved in a patch........riiiiiiight.

Too high framerate? Score dropped by 0.5

 

[Pitmonkey]

What now PC owners? What now?

I don't think using Call of Duty as the foundation for hardware crunching assets is going to bode well in your proposed taunt.

 

[Faddy]

So frame rises over 60fps are bad now?

Yes, most people prefer a stable frame rate and are sensitive to jumping around even at high than 60 fps. Better to run at the frame rate of the screen you are using or at least integer values of it.

 

[Raist]

PS4 too powerful for CoD, confirmed.

Makes the review comments about PS4's framerate so much worse than the XB1 version quite amusing.

 

[Giant Panda]

This puts the PS4 in a really good light, and Infinity Ward in a really bad light.

 

[GYNGA]

Wow

So smooth

Much frame

 

[kasane]

Crazy Ken is true visionary. Next stop 240fps

 

[eot]

So polygon gives the PS4 version a lower score because it has a higher framerate? That's hilarious

 

[rvy]

LMAO. Oh, boy. This turned out quite funny in the end.

 

[Samyy]

Too future

 

[hwateber]

Overdelivering on framerate

 

[nib95]

So the rumors where true porting cod took like 3 weeks and running at 90 fps or something like that?

Sounds like it. So much for frame rate issues lol. They should just be able to patch a fix for this. Did any of the outlets ever mention similar extreme frame rate issues as Joystiq? Because I found their particular take rather interesting.

Also, what about Polygon's review now? Turns out it's not only a better resolution but a more consistent frame rate too?

 

[coldfoot]

Polygon: PS4 COD runs 1080p at over 60 fps: 0.5 points lower.
