that is true, it doesn't seem to affect performance, but I do find the marketing a bit...tricky, in a sense.

Technical Analysis places, such as ...Digital Foundry, you know the site whose article this is about
A mandatory patch making the framerate unlocked is weird. For XB1 owners' sakes, I hope they iron out the framepacing issues and add the option to cap it at 30.
You apparently don't, so why are you posting in a thread about it?

yeah I read the article three times lol still didn't get a solid on the framerate. thanks for answering
I'll patch it then

If they're prerendered videos they might as well show 'em at 1080p
They're crazy if they're approaching devs about that, and it seems like they are. The hardware is weaker, people know it, they're not going to win that fight. Let devs dev, and admit when a game cat hit 1080p at the targeted graphics/performance balance. This situation is way stupider than just saying "yep it's 900p"

So, it sounds like maybe I should wait for the second patch if I want to avoid stuttering and pacing issues. I still have a ways to go in Witcher 2 anyway.
Haha it's amazing how quickly CDPR has tarnished their immaculate reputation with their PR bullshit.
Why do people come into digital foundry tech threads and ask questions like this?
It's going to be amazing. No system will come out of it unscathed.

Well, to be fair, I'm wondering how much pressure they got from the MS camp.
Looking forward to NXGamer missing obvious issues and presenting plenty of questionable speculation about which graphics tech is being used, just like Bloodborne.
I think you've mistakenly posted in the wrong thread.
And also pointing out glaring issues that digital foundry completely forget to mention.

Kinda shocked they didn't cap it at 30. That's been pretty standard for games targeting that framerate

You have to feel sorry for the guys and girls at CDP. I'm sure MS was pressing them really hard on this point.
Are you sure? In the ps4 thread is not mentioned any new patch beside the 1.01 if I'm not wrong.
Like what? The only thing I can think of is the previously-unlocked framerate in Assassin's Creed Unity and that's because DF didn't get a chance to do a full round of tests with that pre-patched version.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that someone else is trying to do what DF does, I just roll my eyes at "OMG BASED NXGAMER PRESENTING THE REAL FACTS UNLIKE HORRIBLE BIASED DF" when he's been shown to have made mistakes and incorrect speculation.

You're sure? What have you heard?
Yep, it will be a bloodbath for sure, man.
I guess some people are never going to let that Uncharted 4 video go. And what about Bloodborne? He was right about POM. What was he wrong about? Also, he pointed out a few things DF missed: missing volumetric lighting in FC4 on PS4 after a patch and uncapped frame rate in AC Unity on PS4 before day one patch.

Does it actually solve anything if you don't actually get to 60? Unless it's really, really consistent I can't imagine it looks smoother than 30 FPS, even a consistent 40 has some frames onscreen longer than others.
Hopefully that patch fixes the frame rate issues on both console versions.

Just as I thought. The AF is not decreased overall, it's just that they took out the increased AF from the cutscenes.

I wonder if it's some type of issue that arrived alongside the dynamic res change. Hopefully it's something that can be fixed quickly with an fps cap. The gameplay should be very smooth in that case since it seems to stay above 30.

It's interesting how dynamic resolution from 900p to 1080p that doesn't often reach 1080p is almost akin to an unlocked 60fps that generally stays in the 40's. Although screen tearing is more irritating than pixel crawl IMO.
I think we're going to see more and more "dynamic 1080p" titles in the future. It's not just PR though; it sounds like a smart way to put wasted time between frames to use in games locked to 30fps.
I'm coining "unlocked resolution"

DAT dynamic resolution: so much so that it almost feels like static.

2. Post a random "who cares about tech, game is fun!" comment
3. ???

Had a good giggle at this thread. Warning: This product may contain traces of peanuts and 1080p.
Yes it's the DLC patch but not the famous patch who improves specifically performance at launch. I suspect 1.01 it's the real patch for performance.

Lol.
This one really feels like 1080pr.

But it is a fact that he is not biased or at least his preferences are not shown to influence his analysis, does he make mistakes? Yes, but so do Digital Foundry, but there have been things that draw into question whether DF is biased like when a company has based their entire reputation on scrutinizing the tiniest differences between platforms even if it were 2 frames (the differences were so tiny during last gen) write an article saying 1080p doesn't matter and many other articles that were written during the start of this gen that could come off pro Microsoft. Then yes a second opinion is important hence OMG BASED NXGAMER.

Yeah except d3 ran beautifully at 1080p on the xbox one, so they were proven right there.
Well, Microsoft an CDPR care enough to lie about it and imply that gameplay would go up to 1080P.
The dynamic resolution bit is embarrassing. Why even bother when you know sites like this will discover it? Should have just let it ride, while improving everything else that was in need. The game looks fine at 900p anyway and I am sure those playing the Xbox One version will be pleased.

Yeah, looking forward to hearing more about this... seems utterly bizarre/pointless.

I think you're being unfair to CDPR. Besides the frame pacing issue it seems like they've optimized the game quite a bit and the writer of the article in this thread agrees that the recent patch is an improvement overall.
My guess is that CDPR was trying to get every last little bit of performance out of the console. The FPS actually improved quite a lot with the last patch as well.
