Give me simple polygonal grass over that billboard shit.

Probably directx12 enabled grass.

Not as good as DX10 fur!

Leadbetter is by far the worst.

Yeah, he's very biased towards Playstation & is Pro-Xbox in general.

Put in today's terms, it would be like the PS4 version running at a solid 1080p and solid 60fps with the XO version running at 720p and unstable 30fps, with missing graphical features.

I'm guessing you are not a big Konami fan?

I emailed Digital Foundry concerning the Achievement Unlock being the cause for the slowdown. I got a very quick response from Tom Morgan (the author of the DF piece)




So, not the achievement. Op, you may want to add this

Damn, DF is so good at their jobs.

 

[KainXVIII]

And what about loading times? How its comparing to pc DX11 version?

 

[Cynn]

This mania for 60fps or bust is a relatively recent phenomenon, and is in my opinion a very unhealthy one. Games are being compared on metrics, with value of experience being justified after the fact by those numbers.

60 FPS has always been highly valued and marketed in the past but hard to accomplish. People have the "60fps of Bust" mentality today because there's really no reason for that target to be missed if a developer chooses to embrace it. As technology advances people expect more from it. There's nothing wrong with that at all. Different people value different things.

The second time around I get a minimum fps reading of 32fps just as the souls start flying across - so essentially in the same ballpark as what we had before.

Holy poop.

Nearly half this video is about Bloodborne. And did I hear him say he usually doesn't analyze the framerate of gameplay sections...? No wonder he doesn't get many views lol.

Cool, PS4 version maintains a higher average, pretty much 60fps, sometimes it can
stay ahead of the xbox version with a gap of 15fps when things get heavy.

Again, bloodborne is really a generation ahead of DS2 in all aspects and the framerate looks to average at 30fps.

Thanks! I love NXGamer's videos. He really deserves more recognition here IMO.

I started watching it till he starting drawing comparisons with BB; not a fan of spoilers. His videos are quite well done in general.

I like his analysis, he is good at explaining and simplifying technical terms.

60 FPS wasn't even mentioned in the past. It wasn't a "thing". It was all just interlaced video. They were always yelling about colours and voices back then.

60 half-frames per second at 320x240 or 640x480 if you were really lucky is more like it
