I have no proof, i'm just going by the last few pages of info people have told me, some people playing on xbox say it's smooth and no frame-rate dips, some people playing on ps4 have reported frame-rate problems in outside areas, could just be different peoples idea of frame-rate problems.
I'm not just throwing out guesses here, i'm trying to ask people myself as i want to pick up the ps4 version but some people have said it has a few problems.
I know, but a lot of spoilers on chapters and small details on items and such. I am trying to avoid and just a get few words.
I'll be curious to see the Digital Foundry stuff. Getting on PS4 in a few moments but I'm thinking about switching.
Are you trying to DL it off PSN? Sometimes they don't update the stuff until later on Tuesday (that includes dlc).

I like it so far. I'm only on chapter 3, but I'd say for certain that it's a great return to Mikami horror. Feels a little too much like The Last of Us with stealth sections, but apparently there's more action on the way.
Spent about an hour or two messing around with pc settings, and I think my final verdict on that is going to be summed up as "How I learned to stop worrying and love the black bars."

I don't know if I can deal with the letterboxing. For some reason it bothers me so much in games. I'm having Dragon's Dogma flashbacks...

-Intros crash the game. Sound plays but not the video.
-Performance is really bad for my PC. Poor framerates without full utilization of my system.
-Steam overlay isn't working in game, nor is any overlay I think. I had to turn on desktop capture to stream with Shadowplay.
-Achievements don't work if you are using the console.
-Doesn't scale downsampled resolutions correctly.
No bueno
Chapter 3 was good shit though. Crept around and scoured everything. Nice to see the blue medallions basically make their return.

Time to dig in.
Sounds great - need to pick it up at some point. Hopefully there is a lot of ng+ stuff as well.
That's the one thing I really didn't like. Took that shit off immediately.
They must have done it to make it more cinematic. Because its certainly not ironing out the framerate.

First time I have heard this. Even if you just use it to uncap FPS? Can someone confirm?
Its not really an either or situation.
Odds are without the letterboxing the frame rate would even worse.
XB1 version seemed pretty janky to me fps wise when I played it at EGX. I'd be surprised if it was at 30fps.
what! I never saw anything like the medallions. Granted I got through most of RE4 without noticing them somehow, so maybe I just need to know what to look for. And yes, if the rest of the game is like Chapter 3 rather than 1 and 2, this game and me are gonna get along just fine.
Game's looking fine downsampled from 1440p for me, but there were some weird looking parts in the early cinematics. Especially that part with the side mirror. Actual game looks really good, especially that whole area near the end of chapter 3.
I have noticed the intro videos acting strangely. Game minimizes or appears to lock up during them, but it starts fine.
I've played up through chapter 3 using the launch options to enable console and uncap FPS, and no achievements. Although I wonder if that's partly because the game unlocked 5 hours early for me. I don't really care either way but yeah, could be annoying.

If you are using the dev console and want your achievements just disable it via properties, start the game, load your save, and they will all unlock at once. Then quit back out and reenable it. Bit silly to have to do that every time, but I suppose that's the curse of putting a framerate toggle in with god mode!

I don't understand why this is disliked. I think it works really well. I just wish the frame rate was rock solid on PS4.. They needed to optimize it more.

Why wouldn't it be disliked? What's there to like about it?

Shoot bullets.
I literally just ran in a circle and shot at him for 30 seconds until he died. Super easy.

Why would I prefer to see black instead of more of the game world? TV's have a certain aspect ratio for a reason; it works. Plus they are already widescreen as it is! It's an incredibly annoying restriction.
Lol, ffs, get your shit together Mikami.

I never thought I would see people saying the XBone performs better. My PS4 pre-order seemed like a no brainer. Shit. Maybe I should get the XBox version instead. Digital Foundry, where art thou!!!!!!?

Just figured out you can fall 30 feet and not take damage. I pressed B off the top of a ladder and took no damage.

is there any XB1 vs PS4 vids? Had I known I would have gotten the XB1 version if its infact a smoother experience
only played to chapter 3 before work this morning on PS4: I like it, though (IMO) it can be a little rough in spots-texture load and framerate issues are abundant-
of all the avatar changes-this one is great cuphead-

Was it the part of ch 5 with the
invisible guys?
What the hell?
Seems like a lazy, blanket solution to make sure you aren't using God Mode and Infinite Ammo.
There has to be a way to make only certain console commands disable Achievements, instead of just using the console AT ALL.

Yeah, those fuckers eat bullets like crazy and are hard to track, I kept retreating behind wheelchairs and waited for them to move out of the way before firing.
People on here have been notoriously bad at telling framerate though, as can be seen in OTs of previous big games.
Waiting for the DF analysis is the best bet.
Wow, that's some bullshit.
Haha, almost got me too.
"What the... is that poison? Acid? Nice try, game!"
But... I accidentally jarred some when I went to pick up bullets that landed next to a puddle of it. Then it was a mad dash around the entirety of level 3 collecting 6,000 more in gel.
I stuck a harpoon bolt into them and as a marker for a few seconds.

The game uses OpenGL (idTech 5) so nearly every setting is useless. You can force v-sync or maybe AF, but AF causes some problems.

I already can't get past like the second level (butchers room). Jeez I suck at video games.
