so its time for a new unbiased website to do these analysis for us. what website would that be?

Same here.I'm a bit dissapointed in the analysis of DF to be honest. Not saying they are lying or baised, but they do not seem to be very thorough or in depth and miss a lot of things.

They only seem to focus on resolution and framerate while missing everything else that's visually going on.
Not only that, but they also have problems qualifying and quantifying framerate differences.
There's a complete lack of statistic analysis to define whether the differences are significant or not, what is the standard variation, the median, etc ....
I personally haven't experienced any framerate drops in GTA V playing on PS4.
What data?And even then they do a half-assed job. Why is there no actual data of their framerate tests? Not even basic shit like minimum framerate and average framerate.
Weird. Me and a buddy have been playing since last weekend on our Ones. No noticeable slowdown in all the time we've played. Heavy traffic or not. Only thing I've noticed, and was surprised by, was some pop in when zooming in on the scope. Wasn't expecting pop in in an instance like that.x1 version here, digital one.
Lots of framerate drop while driving. Really annoying.

Literally every game with framerate drops there'll be people who claim this. Like they have some super console that's faster than everyone else's.
Or they're just enjoying the game and not constantly scrutinising the performance. I'm pretty much like that, even though I like to know my money is well spent.

so you like to know how good the framerate is... even though you don´t notice it even if it is below 30fps..?
why..? to give yourself a pad on the back and say "hey I bought the ´slightly´better version of a game"..? serioulsy why if you don´t even notice it..?
I check framerate tests to see if I should stay away from a version of a game..
Seriously, what is this mentality? Is everything on this site black and white?
NO, when I buy something I like to know I'm getting the best deal I can. Pat on my back ... Jesus Christ.
If there was two TVs, one at 900p and one at 1080p and they were both the same price, I'd buy the 1080p version regardless of whether I could see the difference. If there was two identical cars, one with a top speed of 90mph and one with a top speed of 100mph, I would buy the one at 100mph, even if I never ever intended to go that fast. If I had a choice between two music systems, one with a 5 speaker set up and one with a 7 speaker set up, I would buy the one with a 7 speaker set up, even if I only intended to use 5. Why wouldn't you? You'd be absolutely stupid to buy the worse version when the better version was the same price. Why is that difficult to understand?
It's knowing you are getting better value and knowing that value could be realised in the future, even if it's not realised now.
We need another tech analyser.
What we need is a Chrome plugin that adds the line "Whatever PS4 version is the best in all aspects" below every DF article apparently.
see I still don´t really understand it.. If I wouldn´t notice a difference between 2 game versions on the fps department, then I wouldn´t care what version I bought. BECAUSE I CAN`T SEE THE DIFFERENCE.. ;o) I can´t use the 2fps or whatever the difference was to anything because I can´t see it anyway..
I´m not trying to be obtuse and I´m not trying to downplay your opinion.. I just would like to understand.. bacause I can´t in this instance.
I have experienced framerate drops in every video and pc game I have played.I personally haven't experienced any framerate drops in GTA V playing on PS4.
Maybe they did and thought the odd dip at that level of detail was better than scaling everything back for only a limited performance boost at 30fps.
Digital Foundry's framerate test shows a locked 30fps for most of the time on PS4.

If that is a fair assessment of how the game performs, then I really don't see it as a major problem.

Interesting how things have changed now. PS4 is basically locked at 30, while the One version chugs along in many areas:

X1 always had dips during explosions and intense sequences. It seems they just managed to fix whatever caused the ps4 drops.
However, the new patch is uniformly bad news for Xbox One owners. Parallax occlusion mapping is gone on the Microsoft platform too, but there are no plus points to the 1.09 version that we could find - performance is mostly a match for the launch game. Indeed, in one area, we actually see lower reported frame-rates compared to our original analysis.
Overall, it's a somewhat bizarre state of affairs. The smoother frame-rates on the current build of Grand Theft Auto 5 are clearly a boon for PlayStation 4 owners, with the overall performance profile of the game now shifting ahead of the Xbox One version in all areas - something that definitely wasn't the case during the game's launch period.

So strange. It's not that it pushed it in front of the One in terms of performance, but just fixing it so it's a flat 30 is enough to sell it for me.Pretty much. DF:
Isn't that what this thread you posted in is already about? Probably didn't need to bump this thread from November 2014.

Having not watched the video, is it really flat 30 across the board? Or just 99% of the time?
Oh boy.. Can we all just get along? Both versions players will enjoy.
This.
Why do we need to keep doing this?
People will not be comparing the XB1 and PS4 versions when they play the game. They will play the game and deal with whatever issues may or may not actually get their attention.
People will not be looking at a FPS # when they play, they'll be playing.

Because they are idiots.Why do people come into a tech comparison thread to say things like "both versions are great! just enjoy them"?
