Mass Effect Andromeda Xbox One Frame Rate Test (Pre-Release)
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Only seven months and $400 away.
It's insane the progress/good will Epic received with UE4 after making it free. It was the best fucking choice they made in recent years, by far. And here we are, wishing they'd gone with UE instead of Frostbite. And Frostbite is a beast in it's own right lol. Epic made a crazy turn around with UE this generation.

What is wrong with that face......
It's not uncanny valley off, but everything is off.
Oh i like Frostbite also. But for Battlefield. Not really a fan of EA try to have it in every game now. Think its not the best engine for some type of games.

Sad but true. The review thread is going to be insane... this doesn't look good at all. I just hope that my GTX1060 and 4790k can handle this at 1080p... :/

I love Pokken!
Wonder how the standard PS4 will run, the gamespot footage was full of drops
Depends really. If the game is CPU heavy. Its probably gonna be the same.

Yea, the amount of drops in some of the cutscenes was pretty crazy.
Skipping this one until Scorpio and a couple of patches,
I'm seriously considering doing the same, by which point the game may be patched up to speed. Then again, a lot of people enjoy amplifying issues that aren't real detractors from games.
Guess I'll find out tonight when I start my early access.
Definitely. EA positioned it as their UE and incorporated it into everything but it wasn't for the best perhaps. Some of tech guys at Dice are geniuses though, I give em that.

I hope there is some 1080p performance boost mode on the Ps4 pro or I'm definitely skipping this until it's $20 or less.
It's great on consoles too when used by dice.
Battlefield 1 is IMO one of the best looking shooters on Ps4 and it's targeting 60fps on giant maps with lots of player, destruction, vehicles , etc

Sure as hell hope there will be one. Wouldn't make sense not to, it's just that that one article was a bit odd about what Bioware said.
I don't know why the game dips in performance enduring close up of character models. They aren't nearly as detailed as other games around, lots of visible poly edges, dated shaders and very simplistic animations.
Outside of the character models and the animations the game actually looks quite good actually. There seems to be an issue with DoF atleast on PC version where you get low resolution edges even at ultra post processing.

Yo I lol'd so hard @ that ...
Well now we know why they didnt do a beta haha.

Can't say I noticed any real performance issues while playing the game. I guess it's not a huge problem since fps dips seem to happen in cut-scenes. This game in HDR actually looks really good considering the lower resolution.
That would perform worse than this version.
Just watched the video and the performance in gameplay looks quite fine actually, except for the bit at the end where it was running at 25FPS for an extended period of time...that shit shouldn't happen.
Cutscene performance is worse obviously and it's strange as well for the reasons I mentioned previously, but since you aren't controlling the character directly it should be somewhat bearable.

That last part in ME3 on PS3 was one of the worst performing sections of a game I'd seen last gen. Legit 0fps.
I'm about 2 minutes into the video... seems pretty good so far, I imagine something happens near the end of the video lol
GTA V and Last of Us were terrible as well (framerate)

An engine is as good as its tools and the developers using those tools. Frostbite has shown that it is general enough to have the capability to work across different types of games and accessible to developers across various studios (hence hinting that it must have decent toolsets and documentations). I don't know what you are hinting at when you say it's not the best engine for some types of games when the same engine has shown that it can do games with large environments and lots of special effects very well. Infact it has also shown that it can do open world games well through games like Dragon Age and Mirror's Edge.
Switch doesn't have bottlenecking Jaguars though.

Whoa there were some stretches there where the game ran for extended periods at 25 fps during gameplay. Cut scenes as low as 21 fps. This isn't looking very great technically speaking at all.

The frame rate is absolutely atrocious on Xbox. Was inside an alien structure for about 2 minutes give or take and the framerate was constantly below 30. Maybe. 22-25 area.
With sub/dynamic res 900p on xbone? Mmm. Something tell me it will use a dynamic/sub 1080p like FF on ps4.
I hoped this shit was ended with the past generation indeed. Finger crossed for the pro at this point.

So we are essentially getting what we got with ME 1, 2 and 3?
-Sub 1080
-rocky framerate
-some janky animations
-some glitches
I should be a mad internet person, but I loved those games and I really liked the first hour of this one so I guess this is all fine.
Congrats to those of you who have Pros or 1080s...I will have to wait until Scorpio for all of my P's and F's...

Actually, aren't most Frostbite games 720 on Xbox?
This would actually be an amazing achievement if this is over that.
I dunno, I was pretty stunned when I saw some of the facial and walking animations.
Some of the characters definitely look stunned.
Dont think Dragon Age and ME had good performance and good res really.
60fps games are. 30fps games are 900p.
Those are the 60fps frostbite games. 30FPS Frostbite games have always been 900P on Xbox One. It's been pretty standard with Plats Vs Zombies being the only exception as it is 900P/60FPS on Xbox one
Dragon Age was 900P and extremely stable 30FPS on Xbox One. On PS4 it was 1080P and fairly solid 30FPS with some minor drops occasionally. How is that not good performance or resolution?
Mirror's Edge is 900P on PS4 and 720P on Xbox One. The performance does drop but it also holds 60 fairly reasonably on both. It hits the target considerably better than any Battlefield game.
Basically my point being you said Frostbite is fine for Battlefield but not for some games (assuming you were hinting at Andromeda), I'm just giving you examples of games that are similar to Mass Effect in rendering (open areas) that run better than their contemporaries in their respective resolution/framerate bracket.

What's going on, Bioware? :/
Officially not grabbing this now until I see a lot more.

Gonna wait till the end of the year to pick this up.
ME dropped alot imo. Especially some levels it dropped to 40's. And alot of games have also that weird blurry effect outside of resolution. Just not a fan of Frostbite outside of Battlefield where its was really made for.
It only dropped to 40 for a tiny bit during certain scripted scenes where you had no control and came across things like planer reflections. It would never drop that low during regular gameplay. There are framerate analysis you can check.
As for weird blurry effect I'm not sure what you are referring to...perhaps you are talking about motion blur or their TAA solution.
