EXTREMELY ANECDOTALLY.

What was the point of even tweeting this.


Extremely anecdotally
Slightly more janky

EXTREMELY ANECDOTALLY.

Man, that first convo there:

if it's so "extremely anecdotal," why even mention it?

because people keep asking.

So why not wait until you can provide an answer that has more weight to it?

why do you care?

lmao

Jesus Christ. Gies may have said some stupid shit in the past, but where's the outrage when Danny said the same goddamn thing? And we all love Danny, right? You guys think people concern trolling about the PS4 in the other thread is dumb, but you are all just as fucking bad. https://twitter.com/dannyodwyer/status/663745282325147648?s=09

You are defending Arthur Gies. My head...can't compute. No no no.

Danny saying PS4 is glitchier than PC is different than saying PS4 is "jankier" than Xbox One.

Gies has a well deserve reputation and has no credibility.

 

[JeffG]

He either lied before or he's lying now.

.

lol

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Gies is constantly finding new ways to surprise me.

 

[ramuh]

Showed him this image in reply to his tweet, got this as a response:



speaking EXTREMELY ANECDOTALLY I suppose I probably deserved it...

Looks like you got sent to the Block-Button Ranch.

 

[zsynqx]

Ah. I read Unity for some reason. I dunno, sometimes we don't encounter things. NXG posted an inaccurate frame-rate analysis this week yet I haven't seen lastword mention that. Weird.

Hey, can we expect a Tomb Raider analysis? Really interested in the tech behind that game.

Reread that tweet.

 

[hesido]

Guys, Xbox One is said to have some better performance indoors, is this covered in the DF article?

 

[Boke1879]

lol @ this Danny person too.

Thanks for generalizing, you are just as fucking bad.

This is why you wait for something like DF. Jim Sterling said he didn't notice any big drops. These guys say the PS4 version is glitchier.

 

[Loudninja]

Yes he is working on it.

Well it's not popular to say, and people hate Gies here. And Danny is generally well liked, so they don't want to roast him. And I've been hearing both sides of what system is smoother on all day today.

 

[WhiskeyKnight]

It blows my mind this guy is a reviews editor of a major gaming site. He has always been the biggest MS fanboy since at least RebelFM started, guy gives headaches listening to his nonsense.

It goes back to before RebelFM started. The dude got his start at Team Xbox for god's sake.

 

[dealer-]

Yeah, he said it would be up in the next couple of days.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

From the Eurogamer review - "More troubling still, I've suffered an appalling frame rate that plummets to what appear to be single figures during moments of intense action, and lengthy pauses while the game hangs and decides if it wants to continue or not."

Honest question (that's actually something I'm curious for a while): Is Digital Foundry owned by Eurogamer? Are their reviews composed by the same team?

 

[Easy_D]

The accusations of Gies being biased towards Microsoft's consoles are anectdotal, at best.

 

[zsynqx]

Yes he is working on it.

Awesome, look forward to it.

 

[Boke1879]

People have preferences and I get that but when you're a review editor at a major site and most of your opinions and bias are clearly shown. I think that's an issue.

The man just goes out of his way at times.

 

[JeffG]

These guys say the PS4 version is glitchier.

damn heretics

 

[dark10x]

Hey, can we expect a Tomb Raider analysis? Really interested in the tech behind that game.

My good man, you certainly can. I produced 25 minutes worth of video for the game in addition to the article itself. It's quite massive.

Hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday it will show up.

 

[Boke1879]

damn heretics

lmao. I'm just saying. You have many conflicting reports from individual users. Just like the other thread on this forum of people switching their preorders after a couple of short vids showing frame drops.

In the first post of this thread you have evidence to make your purchase on either console.

PC is the way to go. Both consoles will have hitches but it seems like PS4 is the way to go.

 

[MisterR]

The accusations of Gies being biased towards Microsoft's consoles are anectdotal, at best.

I guess. There is no empirical proof. The circumstantial evidence is through the fucking roof.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Is this another engine problem?

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Hey, can we expect a Tomb Raider analysis? Really interested in the tech behind that game.

Think they might wait until the heat has died down on Eurogamer to do the analysis, after they didn't give the game a Recommended or Essential score, so you can imagine how that's going down in the comments section.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Ubisoft must be sitting there and thinking 'and we got shit for AC:Unity?!?'

I wonder if Bethesda will respond - they really need to get better at console dev, FO4 shouldnt be repeating what their previous games had, theyve had the resources to prevent them...

ps3ud0 8)

What? Fallout 4 isn't even out. Unity had gamebreaking bugs, NPC's with ZERO FACES, and excessive jank and slowdown.

Heh, ACU ran better and looked so much more impressive at launch than this. ACU had serious bugs, though.

That guy must have a special xbox.

 

[AgentP]

LOL!

He went on IGN's Beyond and said nothing but bad things about Sony and the PS4, he admitted (forget his words) that he is a Xbox fanboy. There is nothing anecdotal, it is straight from the biased horse's mouth.

 

[Anung]

He's very slightly more bias than anyone else. Anectdotally speaking.

 

[EloquentM]

What? Fallout 4 isn't even out. Unity had gamebreaking bugs, NPC's with ZERO FACES, and excessive jank and slowdown.

I mean we already have cases of game breaking bugs, jank, and slowdown, so just why try to free Bethesda of criticism? Is it because no one has experience floating eyeballs in fallout yet?

 

[ps3ud0]

You only just logged onto the internet? Must have missed all the issues already reported with FO4, while AC:U had some real bad issues, Bethesda dont seem to have learnt anything for FO4s dev - Gamebryo is special

Heh, ACU ran better and looked so much more impressive at launch than this. ACU had serious bugs, though.

And there we go ...

What's going on here? This thread says PS4 runs better, the other says PS4 runs worse.

 

[Portugeezer]

Jeff from GB talking on Mixlr now about the game, and saying that the framerate towards the end of the game is awful, "like a slideshow @10fps", "what year is this?" etc.

(PS4 version)

I'll believe it when I see it. Some people like to exaggerate when they talk.

 

[see5harp]

Fanboys who call other people fanboys are fuck boys.

 

[Orthogonal]

True, but there isn't much anectdotal evidence to the contrary.

 

[SparkTR]

What's going on here? This thread says PS4 runs better, the other says PS4 runs worse.

The takeaway here is they both don't run great and both need to be worked on.

 

[Fat4all]

Enlightening.

It's another Bethesda problem.

Think I'll be blocking you just because of that strange need to add a fucking obnoxious signature to your posts.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Jim Sterling said he didn't have or notice any frame drops during his playthrough. As an independent with no affiliation to anything but POGS, I am going to trust him (and digital foundry).

 

[JeffG]

PC is the way to go. Both consoles will have hitches but it seems like PS4 is the way to go.

To me the consoles look close to the same except the bug of dropping to 0 fps on the bone.

 

[In Service]

Pitchforks out!!!!

Wait, what platform are we talking about here? I haven't seen much in regard to gamebreaking bugs on PS4. Maybe I do have blinders on (shrugs)

 

[Fat4all]

We do that all the time here on the gaming side.

[Melchettsmoustache]

Maybe 0fps is Bethesdas solution to the frame drops we've seen so much of this generation.

 

[In Service]

What's going on here? This thread says PS4 runs better, the other says PS4 runs worse.

GAF is going on here.

I think both have a different type of problem. Who knows.

 

[TerryLee81]

Someone posted this gif, I can definitely see the difference.

Edit: Oh you were comparing PS4/X1, missed that

I have no problems with his biases, but always felt he came across as arrogant and just not particularly likable.
