ROFL

How did I never catch that?

Was it there when they demoed it at E3?

 

[Skanderani]

While that's a bummer, I beat 3 multiple times on the PS3 so this looks like a smooth 60 in comparison to that entire game.

I was going to say the same thing, I expected the vids to be worse but this seems minor to me. Game looks better than I thought it would tbh

 

[johnnydrama]

You have a low bar for great.

Sure, if you say so.

Thank you.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

I'm going to wait for reviewers to talk about the framerate. It's too early to panic.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

Holy fuck it's like he just stops giving a shit at a certain point. It's as if he knows his model, his body, and his soul will drop into the infinity of numbers, only to be brought back if a new game exists.

He does his job, and just gives up living.

This is great

It took me a bit to spot it, but that's funny. I also won't be able to unsee that now either.

Lmao

Tbh I have zero faith in Bethesda on a technical lvl

 

[Kamina777]

Sure, if you say so.

You win.

Last I checked NeoGaf's Consensus Worst Game Ever Made was in fact tied between these titles:
Evolve

I'll never forget the great Evolve Wars of 2014, and then the great Evolve mass amnesia event in March... What was I talking about?

 

[Renekton]

This game will win GOTY awards left and right regardless of its performance. Kind of a shame because The Witcher 3 delivered the most beautiful open world game I have ever played this year.

Pretty sure Witcher 3 will sweep the journalists' awards this year.

hmm I didn't know Bethesda was so bad at animations.

 

[Gormenghast]

pixar-level of animation skill here guys

Or just the usual quality level.

This kind of jankyness is Bethesda's trademark since its very beginning. It would be a big news if a game wasn't completely filled with that low quality control.

 

[Cth]

Can't watch this gif, the framerate is too bad.

Just blink your eyes really quick for the full effect.

 

[ViciousDS]

Just blink your eyes really quick for the full effect.

Why Did I do this lol

 

[QuantumSquid]

Maybe he has a receiver in his ear that just told him the nukes were coming and he was like "Yup, stapling my clipboard to my wrist now, I am so out of here"

 

[Inuhanyou]

Pete Hines : "1080p Solid 30fps"

Wow he said "F**k it, I'm going back to Whiterun"

 

[DeepEnigma]

I'm going to wait for reviewers to talk about the framerate. It's too early to panic.

Or the lack of mentioning it, like they have done before.

 

[NoFaceNico]

Watching the videos, I kept waiting for framerate drop...it never happened. What's going on here people?

I'm right there with you, brother.

Fallout 4 |OT| Animations? Ain't nobody got time for that.

HAHA. Oh my days. I don't know what to expect now.

 

[J_Viper]

Yet the XBox One and the PS4 are more closely related in hardware tech (x86) to each other, than the 360 (Power PC) and the Xbox One.

Now tool environment can be an issue, however the general consensus with what is out there in cross platform games heavily favoring the PS4 in not only better resolutions, but performance puts a strike in that theory as well. Especially when every developer even early on said it was super easy porting PC games to the PS4, and getting great performance before optimizations.

This has been par for the course with Bethesda. It is 2015, this is not the complex PS3, no excuses anymore.

It's certainly true that 99% have been better on PS4, but there still are the rare instances where the Xbone version comes out on top. It can certainly happen again.

And remember this Bethesda we're talking here, I mean just look at that clipboard shield gif, tech is not their strong suit.

 

[Cth]

Fallout 4 |OT| Bottlecapped at 30FPS

 

[evilr]

Fallout 4 |OT| New Fallout 3 Mod

 

[hidys]

Thanks to this thread I'm now really excited to see what the reviews are going to be like.

Because either way its going to be extremely controversial.

Clipboard guy is pretty great.

 

[alexbull_uk]

Lol at the hat guy gif.

You don't see that animation in normal gameplay because the player is stood directly in front of the closing door. And it's not copied from Skyrim... The clipboard is just parented to his right hand, so that's where it goes when the animation completes, out of sight.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Or the lack of mentioning it, like they have done before.

yeah I feel that framerate mentioning is usually a footnote included with "technical issues"

 

[dano1]

It's not GameBryo's fault. That shit runs great on toasters. It's Bethesda's.

If you want change, either buy it on PC or hold out and play another AAA this season

Yeah like Batman on PC..

 

[DeepEnigma]

That is a developer issue, not a PS4 one.

Well fuck, you got me there, lol.

 

[Windom Earle]

I know I bookmarked this for a reason:

Does it look terrible? No.

Are there any open-world RPGs that look better on PS4? Yes.

I expect this to be rock solid 30 fps with literally zero performance bugs. You have billions of dollars Bethesda, an old-ass engine that you know inside out and powerful PC-like systems in the form of PS4 and XBone.

The game cannot crash. It simply cannot.

Rofl, i saw that clip alot times and just now i noticed that... Bethesca really need to step up they game regarding animations.

 

[Nothing1016]

Watched the videos in the OP and the only one that slightly bothered me was the scope. The rest are fine and the frame drops won't hinder my experience.

 

[Boogdud]

You guys are assholes. Don't underestimate the protective powers of clipboard.

 

[Arulan]

Pretty sure Witcher 3 will sweep the journalists' awards this year.

It's a shame Age of Decadence won't be considered, assuming any of them have even played it.

 

[jayu26]

You didn't notice until someone pointed it out. That is why they ain't going to fix shit.

Loool

 

[Atraveller]

I'm right there with you, brother.

For real?

 

[texhnolyze]

PC exclusives barely got any media attention. Even more so if it's indie game.

 

[johnnydrama]

Yeah like Batman on PC..

No, like Skyrim on PC.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

I don't know how to say this without sounding like a Bethesda defender.

But how does that awful clipboard animation affect my enjoyment of the game? That has been around for months and we are just noticing it now. I'm not saying it's acceptable, but if it was a choice between say, adding weapon mods, or adding more locations, etc. or making sure that dude doesn't hold his clipboard like a shield, I know what I'm choosing.

It'll now be hard to sleep tonight. Thank you based GAF.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Wew lad, can't wait for the reviews.
I don't really know what to make of the game so far at this point.

Here's a early preview on where to find the best review for the game ^_^
16 minutes 23 seconds if the time stamp doesn't work

 

[Windom Earle]

Wooooooffff...well that's embarrassing.

Mostly for Bethesda.

"Please don't notice it"

Should be on the review bingo.

Different people have different expectations for what works for them and what breaks their immersion.

Me for instance, finds this ugly as fuck in late 2015, and have expectations a little higher than shit that was more forgiving 10 years ago.

Who have we decided to boycott over this?
