Destructoid "Call of Duty Ghosts performs smoothly on Xbox One"

Yeah, I can't see what's wrong in that gif TBH. The one where he turning and the game is hitching is pretty clear, though.

Are they even trustworthy these days after the BF4 article?
Edit: Damnnn, Kev with the smackdown.
Lol. And yea, basically the bolded. Plus the fact that we've seen footage of the Xbox One multiplayer, that, isn't exactly smooth....but we shall see.
That's the beautiful thing about it - could go either way depending on results! See: this thread. I feel like everyone is just grasping at straws since there's an embargo involved, but the game's performance on other platforms leads me to believe the Destructoid comments might be flawed.
This doesn't make sense to me. The encode is forcing dropped frames under the exact same situations multiple times? I could believe a stutter here and there but this is replicable.

Are you being serious man?
Seen the video, seen the Dtoid claims, dunno what to think.
We're not going to have a clear picture of what the hell is going on here until both versions are in the wild IMO. Even then, having played the PC version on an i7 w/ a 4GB GTX770 and 24GB of RAM and watching it stutter like hell, even in the menus...
fuck this game.

It's not really denial, could be different builds or even a different map or gamemode but most of all the writer should have been able to clearly see that kind of drop when looking around and wouldn't have called it "solid".
What's wrong with that observation?
The GIF is clearly showing a framerate drop by quickly looking to the right which would be a pretty common thing to do in this kind of game...

bloody IW where running this game on a super computer and thought it was the norm lol
I am asking since the game uses a lot of old/incomplete animations and models
seems way too rushed

I'll take buttery smooth 720p over choppy 1080p any day

I was first one to post on that article because i'm a Dtoid regular. Kind of feel like I really brought the Resolutiongate issue back into the fold especially for the rest of the site.
I feel like he wasn't reporting well enough anyway. He didn't have a PS4 version for review so it was slanted from the start. It was clearly biased towards the Xbone.

Yep. People love to criticize them but aside from rushed capturing resulting in crushed blacks, they were incredibly objective in their comparison of BF4. I'll wait until the 12th before I make any performance judgement.
I have a question about the stuttering. Would YT add stuttering to one specific spot over and over again? Notice he pans left and right on top of that bus multiple times, and every time he does it, it slows down. Would a YT encoding error really repeat itself like that, always at that specific point?
Why are you ignoring all video evidence and reports from other people who actually played the game and noticed the frame drops? What's so special about this Destructoid writer?

Was specifically responding to his broad dismissal of judging by gifs by saying youtube is also known to have issues but as mentioned it seems to happen when movement happens so it's almost certainly an actual issue. At the same time there isn't much movement that I can see while he's still(ie background elements, gun sway) to really tell. Plus from what I listened to the person playing didn't mention the issues and that footage shows clear, game-breaking stuttering so I don't think that could be missed.
Certainly hope all is well!
I'm not ignoring the video but I don't think the Destructoid writer would call it solid when such a common movement would cause such a huge framerate drop.
Where are the other impressions of Xbox One gameplay?''
This is a console competition I want both versions to run well.
It is definitely not a pretty game, RYSE shows the Xbox One is capable of much more.
Alright, I watched the footage. It makes no sense for this game not to be running at a consistent 60 FPS. Jesus.
Pretty sure you're the only one using the word 'choppy'. There's a pretty wide gap between 'occasional drops in framerate' and 'choppy'.
Also, if Killzone is maintaining a more consistent framerate in 1080p and looking so much better doing it, clearly IW is just fucking up somewhere, probably due to trying to push out 5 versions of the same game and prioritizing the XBox versions more, due to sales expectations.
Also
I'll wait to hear from something besides bloggers, given the videos we've seen.
What makes no sense is how the PC and PS4 versions seem to have issues and the X1 is smooth?

Comes in handy for things not related to gaming.

Oh man... that BALANCE is killing me!
It's such a smooth and cinematic... EXPERIENCE!
Lol, too bad Mattrick is no longer with Microsoft. I can see him saying that.

It should be noted that the X1 version runs at a much lower resolution and the X360 version runs smoothly, who knows what's going on at IW.

There are 2 videos of XB1 MP footage that both show slowdown. Also, ALL versions, including the 360 version, go below 60 fps at SOME POINT during the game. If it happens more in other versions thats one thing, but people need to stop with the 60 locked CoD stuff which was never true.
Then why is it 900p/30fps?

In the same way countless people on this board think all games are "smooth" and don't notice framerate drops.
There's actually a Tweet from a journo who mentions indirectly that the Xbox One version runs worse than the PS4 version, and it would seem corroborated by the video footage we have of the Xbox One version running. I guess we'll know soon enough, but all evidence points to pretty much all versions being poorly optimised.
That would be the Xbox One.
I can't believe you confessed to buying this garbage just for the purpose of nitpicking my post.
Okay, you got me.
The fps counter won't lie.
The guy couldn't see the difference between 720p and 1080p. Why do you put your trust on him being able to judge framerate drops after one match properly?
I don't quite understand it.

Because it looks leagues better than every other next-gen launch title? Although Killzone is also incredibly impressive and has the 60 FPS advantage.
It doesn't lag every time he turns the camera.
It drops frames whenever he pans over an area of the map that has a long view distance and a decent amount of geometry to render.

Yea at the end of the day it just seems like IW had way too much on their plate and not enough time. Saddening for the people that like the series.

without a doubt, its a ancient engine.
Rule #1: never listen to a journalist about a game's framerates unless the guy has a proven track record of getting things like that right.
It won't be smooth on Xbox one either in all likelihood.

Not really going to derail this thread but have you not seen RYSE? Just go check out the newest 50 mbps footage and you'll have a answer to that question. Resolution isn't a way to determine the overall power of a system it's what it ends up looking like on screen.
Let's not create excuses for IW and watching those videos I doubt it's too much to render.
Uhhhh, the only version that didn't launch at the same time as the others is the Xbox One version. Plenty of people have the PS4 version already (including me).
