It's an old build. They aren't going to promise 60fps if they weren't confident.

Any mention of FPS droppings make some users go mental.
I'm not bashing PS or anything, I'm interested about it and I'm starting to get into the KZ franchise, but just take a look at the "BF4 doesn't look as good in PS4 compared to PC's, also the sun is hot" thread. Shit went south real bad.
Heck, I'm having more fun reading GAF and watching people making fool of themselves by going insane about FPS and low-eye bleeding textures and other hyperbole.
Probably they decided to focus on Gamescon (second biggest expo in the world or even larger than E3) and provide stable demo for game floor.
They have all of september, all of october and a 2 week Print timeline to hit Nov. 15th....Not to mention they only need to press/ship for US on 15th, EU is 29th...They have 2 months left.

I really hoped nextgen was gonna be 60 fps all the way. But seems we're stuck with 30 again. Well, at least if it's steady it should be okay.

Believe it or not, KZSF is still a game in development!
Guerrilla have always delivered a game which runs well. I expect SF to be no exception.

Guys.
Everything is forgivable until after that day 1 patch is applied.
Of course you can decide for yourselves if it looks promising or not but GAF has gotten pretty bad with the judging of unfinished code lately. The game is simply not done.
If its got issues at launch then by all means, bare your fangs, but no need to fret until it actually happens, y'know?

I doubt voices of reason are welcome when it comes to fps issues. People are going crazy about things that are likely to change or already have changed due to ongoing development.
They always choose the most stable build rather than the prettiest one. Same thing happened at E3.

Pretty much this. We never know how old the builds are at these events and it is unfinished even if it was the build they just made today. Still impressions are always welcome.

You're playing it on a PC? No Xbone/PS4 version?
There's me, can't really tell the difference between 30-60fps, and we have people giving precise framerates after brief impressions......
I would have thought after the Driveclub embarrassment (the thread, not the game), people would be more circumspect when judging in development games. In two months, we went from people stating Evo were a joke, and should basically get out of the industry, to fawning over the latest build, which happens to be absolutely stunning.

It's amazing that every single thread about an unfinished build of a game not having a steady framerate has to go through the same "wow that framerate is terrible" "wow they said it would be 60 fps ugh" "wow they better fix this shit before release, terrible" comments.
This is why we never see games early in development, guys. And it's why developers are so reluctant to show their games of pre-release at all sometimes.

Ah, Watch_dogs PC. I was hoping to hear about the actual PS4 version. Thanks for the impressions.

Same with crysis 3 on pc. Beta ran like crap, final game runs at 60 fps (multiplayer)
It's an eyeballed estimate.
The game is also a bundle with the PS4 they need to have the game early, KZ should be ready for late october, also at this moment the game should be on beta at GG wich mean bug fixing. corrections, etc. Changes on code at this point could break the game or produce more bugs.

Shhhh, Logical things like optimization don't happen at the end of a game's development. This game is going to run at 15 FPS and make Super Mario Bros look like gods gift to CG....
Id be worried if there were major bugs or they were still working on story/features. They have 2 months to smooth out frame rate and work on MP balance.

so kz3 then, good to know
Thanks a bunch for the Watch Dogs news btw, I might start believing again..

What?
It's harder than you think.
It's like optimization comes at the end of development or something. /s

This part sounds great to me
Devs rarely have new builds at game shows.

Yeah the dithering and aliassing were pretty obvious in the 1GB download video.
They really take some immersion away because they cause some distracting artifacts.
Hopefully they can fix that a bit, as well as keeping the framerate on a relative steady 60.

No play. Only allowed to watch a live demo. PS4 UI, definitely PC version. They showed off the mobile/full game multiplayer. The mobile player challenges the player, then tries to block them from completing the challenge (a street race) with hacks and obscure their vision with a helicopter spotlight.

Well yes, I know that.
The game needs to be gold in less than 2 months, so splitting off a team to go and make a brand new demo is probably a waste of resources for them.
Defiantly PC version as in it looks to good to be PS4 in your view, or it was actually said to be PC/ you saw a PC tower?

I'm not trying to argue, but you're definitely sure? As in, do you see a DS4 connected to a PC?
A couple of questions:
How many bullets does it take to kill? Half a clip? a quarter of clip? 4 BUllets?
Headshots are one bullet kill right?
Does it have that dwarf( I don't know if this is teh correct way of saying it, basically what I want to know is if you feel small compared to the world around) feeling of the other KZ games?

Yep, a game can quickly lose hype by showcasing a game too early.

Sounds like the gamescom demo.
If it has the PS4 UI then it's running on the PS4 devkit.

Here we go with the FPS tears. Just get a PC already.
I just mean the hud had playstation buttons on it. Means absolutely nothing. The visuals were way too good to be on console. No aliasing, high framerate, etc.
I am dying to know too.

Shadowfall PC version confirmed.
Not if it isn't too difficult to grasp the concept of work in progress.
