PC version gets hate for EGS, console versions get hate for very poor base consoles performance. And base PS4's are still in the majority...I’m confused
Every user here (non professional critic) seems to love this game
But when ya look at the user reviews on Metacritic, it’s only getting a 6.8 out of ten. What gives ?
Also it's not anything new that most journalists don't mention the performance in their reviews or at least don't treat it like a serious issue.

Epic games store and the Xbox faithful are a bit annoyed with Remedy courting the PS4 crowd.I’m confused

I wouldn't worry too much, signs point to something big happening with them....

Playing on PS4 pro.
Quite liking it so far. Very slick presentation. Interesting visuals.. And the sound design is fantastic so far. Really helps set the mood.

Pro performance is spotty for sure, but it isn't anything we haven't seen before. My teenager watched me play the first hour or so, and even she commented on the "SCP-ness" of the narrative/setting.
Then we made jokes about SCPenis for half an hour. Good times were had by all.

Wasn’t that previous Remedy game (Quantum Break) a Microsoft exclusive, though? Wouldn’t Xbox fans love Remedy?

They should but many feel that giving PlayStation exclusive content etc was like a betrayal.

I haven't watched all the reviews so as to not spoil myself too much. So the performance on both base consoles is poor? Or is it just poor on the X?

It's really bad on base models (drops to 10fps or less), I don't know about the XONEX, but it does have performance issues on the PS4 Pro. They're just less severe. The CPU is probably the main problem and PS4 Pro doesn't have a better unit than base PS4.

Ahh okay, thanks. I'll probably just wait it out for now then. Still want to play it, but I'd rather it be a smoother experience overall.

False - the Jaguar cores are the same, but they run at 1.6GHz on the base unit and 2.13GHz on the Pro.

You’ll when you get in a crowded place with bunch of enemies. I hope not though but it’ll unfortunately happen
Everytime I open the damn map the game acts weird

I do get about 2 seconds of stutter when closing out of the map. That's the only weird thing I've seen so far.

Good to read that. Hopefully you don’t run into those heavy frame drops in heavy fights

Well, my post remains true, the clocks run higher, but the unit is the same.

I’m about 4 levels in. With ray tracing on but the indirect shadows RT off (it causes concrete walls to shimmer in a weird way) I’m barely breaking 60fps with a 2080ti and ryzen 3900x.
That said, this game blows quantum break away. I’m usually the type to skip cutscenes but I love how bizarre and intense the atmosphere is in this. If you like weird Steven king style stuff mixed with government conspiracy theories and brutalist architecture, this is your game.

The only times performance on the Pro has been noticeably questionable for me is when I'm unpausing the game or getting out of the mod/weapon menu. It stutters bad for a second or two like its loading something in. Who knows. I haven't really noticed anything bad during combat, I dunno, maybe because my mind is more focused on shooting fools and throwing concrete blocks at their faces?
Reposting as this was a combat situation I was in last night. And it looks pretty, pretty smooth.
Where is everyone at in the story? Im around 12 hours in and I just got to the Research area (Chapter 4) having done every sidequest so far and gone back to previous areas to open up the level 2 and 3 keycard doors.
There's two spots in Maintenance that Im assuming I need Levitate and story progression to access. There's a huge area next to the Furnace and then there's all those stone walls that open up in Central Processing across from the training area that lead to some massive inner chasm. Im guessing it leads to the Quarry.
Fuckin LOVING THIS
The Furnace is simply gorgeous

This is by far Remedy’s best work in every aspect. You’ll have fun in gunplay, throwing stuff around and the story is GOODHow's the gunplay,Mista ? If I didn't care about the story and just wanted a good, atmospheric third-person romp, is it still a good game? Asking because previous Remedy titles have ranged from excellent gameplay to mediocre.

At this point is Steam's fault,you can't blame smaller developers going Epic when they can get more money.i really want to play this game

Worrisome.
I'm seeing a lot of commentaries about the PS4 performance.
I have the Slim version. The dude says it's the worst game he's ever played
on his PRO (performance-wise).
I wonder how my Slim will cope...
The question is: Can they fix it with patches, or is the game too much for this generation consoles?

The best thing about Remedy games is the combat and gunplay. The fuck is wrong with you son.

Well, I've only gotten two weapon forms and the base telekinetic ability. Cool down on telekinesis is really quick, like a second or two quick. I feel like the combat is always solid in Remedy titles.
It's getting better/weirder the further you go.

Eventually you’ll find mods that can quicken the cooldown even more
This game really deserves attention. We’re so fucking lucky to be able to get games like this nowadays. Solid single player third person adventure shooters with no bullshit attached.

I felt that way about Max Payne, but with Quantum Break juggling 3-4 cooldowns was just not fun to me. From what I'm reading this game is more simple, was just looking for confirmation.
