NXGamer first look at XboxOne version of Just Cause 3 (hint: it's baaaaaad)

Well I assume? Depending on the hardware of course.

The giant bomb quick look was on PC and it looked great (framerate included). I don't know what hardware they were using though.... I assume it wasn't a beast-mode PC, but IDK.

edit: looks like I was repeatedly beaten.
 
Well I guess I'm getting the PC version then

I still think it's a damn shame the game is performing like shit on consoles. I also think it's a damn shame that there are posts in this thread that are basically making fun of people for wanting to buy it on console because it's "the wrong version." So whats gonna take Hottest Technical Mess this year? Fallout 4 or JC3 on consoles?

Digital preorder cancelled, sux yo :( I was surprised how easy it was to call Microsoft and cancel it though, whole call took a bit over 5 minutes including the menus I was floored how easy that was.

Really hate how Sony hasn't caught up yet.

I had a refund submitted for my PS4 digital pre-order, but all I can do now is wait with my fingers crossed. There's no reason why Sony should be able to deny a refund on a pre-order.

I regret preordering the PS4 version digitally. Only hope now is the devs demonstrate some honor and competence and fix all the issues. Also hate Sonys pathetic no-refund policy on unreleased games. Seriously, fuck them.

And this isn't the same studio that made Just Cause 2, right?

Wonder why the switch, if this is their flagship.

I've heard that it was mostly made by the new avalanche office in new york, not the core team who made jc2 and mad max.

I wonder if that has something to do with it..
 
I have a 4460

PC Arkham Knight maybe?

Easily Arkham Knight on PC. By a long country mile.

I asked like 4/5 times on Twitter already to if they will patch the game to improve ps4 performance and adress fps drops or say something but they just ignore people who have actually bought their game sadly.

They've actually replied to a few people complaining about performance and load times, in addition to the disconnection problems.

This generation is so not lasting 8 years.

First thing devs are going to say when they get asked by Microsoft and Sony what they struggled with this gen and what could be better next gen is, the damn CPU!

The answer will likely be in AMD's Zen. Regardless of what version of Zen will be available in a few years, as next gen consoles get developed, even the first Zen processors launching late next year should be leagues better than the shitty Jaguar CPUs in PS4 and Xbox One.

Reportedly, Zen will offer a 40% improvement clock for clock vs AMD's current desktop FX CPUs, and Jaguar is far below even those.

If next gen consoles replace the PS4/X1's 8x Jaguar cores that run at 1.6 - 1.75 GHz, with 8x Zen or Zen+ cores clocked at the ~3 GHz ballpark, give or take, it should mean a real leap forward for next gen consoles over current gen consoles, on the CPU side. Nevermind the more powerful GPUs, High Bandwidth Memory, etc. Of course, I have no clue as to what an 8 core Zen processor at ~3 GHz might look like in terms of heat and power usage, on 14/16nm or 10nm FinFET, that's why I won't guess beyond 8 cores and what may or may not be a reasonable clockspeed..

The bottom line is, devs are going to get just about everything they can get out of current consoles much faster than they did with Xbox 360 and PS3.

I havent seen any responses about the ps4 fps or performance issues, only with the connection problem.

Nobody is denying that the CPUs in the consoles are weak and probably a significant bottleneck but I think this game has other issues (inefficient, poor code).

I wonder if Giant Bomb will split their reviews again.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 seems a more likely candidate. You can at least work around Arkham Knight's problems to some extent with tweaks, and it doesn't have the glitches that appear to be a problem with THPS5.

Sounds like this game was rushed to make the market before the holidays. What a shame:/

I really hope Avalanche doesn't pay any serious consequences.
 
I'm considering picking it up on Steam, but not before the reviews are out. The performance might not be the only thing wrong with it since the game is being rushed out.

Oh. You're right. I displaced the knowledge of that game from my mind.

Oh absolutely true, not saying otherwise. I think both things are real issues, in the short and long term.
 
Wasn't the performance in the 10s when you used the Batmobile, when it launched, even with good GPUs?

When I played it on my 970 it was usually between 40 and 80 at 1080p ultra. Just fluctuated a lot which really bothered me. That was on launch day though.

I eventually decided to play it on PS4 because I didn't want to bother with a messy port.
