I don't know why people are salty. At least we now have proof that PS4 is capable of 16xaf.

 

[Sanpei]

MS bought Capcom ?

 

[Needlecrash]

Color me shocked. And to think, I just cancelled my PS4 pre-order for this game a few days ago. I just saved myself some money. I wonder if the optimization for the PS4 just got jacked up somehow.

 

[dmr87]

The article calls the PC version 'smooth as butter' but I've been reading the exact opposite of performance from Steam users.

And how many of those are running i5s/GTX780s or better? Most likely a minority.

 

[Syrus]

This thread is gold lol. Ill buy when 10$

 

[Kuro]

So far it looks like there is a total of 2 games that is superior on the x1 and definitely a result of really poor optimization on ps4.

I'm not convinced. Looks like Sony may have pulled a stealth downgrade on the console. Not happy at all here to be honest. My PS4 is out of warranty as well so I can't even get a refund.

Damn, PS4 getting dem DX9 downgrades and XB1 getting them DX12.1 upgrades...

Guess it's time to pack it up and sell the PS4.

If this story broke at launch 2013 or early 2014 this thread would be 50 pages in like an hour. Those days of excitement are over. Have to wait for E3s for the warz.

I'm not sure many people realize there are two types of analysis with DF, a preview analysis, usually with major releases, and is shorter and often talks a bit about other aspects of the game, and then a full analysis, which sticks mostly to the technical stuff.

what category is this? http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-the-order-1886-performance-analysis

So this is what it's come down to now in the video games press, nitpicking stuff in games to get clicks for their site?

The article calls the PC version 'smooth as butter' but I've been reading the exact opposite of performance from Steam users. At the moment I can't even launch the PC version due to it still believing it's locked through pre-release, and then it doesn't even have local co-op. There's a truly botched release version here, and it's not one of the console versions.

I have a gsync setup and was getting weird micro stutter until I turned on the in-game 60fps cap. Was a little sad that I couldn't play at 144hz.

 

[RoboPlato]

What the hell is with that PS4 framerate? This game is pretty simple visually.

I can't believe what a hard time some of you are having identifying obvious sarcasm in many of the posts in this thread.

Just sold my PS4s because of this.

good luck finding someone to buy that inferior piece of hardware

 

[Kezen]

Doesn't sound like this game got a whole lot of attention in general.

I get the same vibe. Low budget all around.

 

[Derpcrawler]

Wow.....

Those crushed blacks. You don't have to render things you can't see, am I right?

Eurogamer have been doing performance/visual comparisons between the different versions of games for years. The earliest one on their site is from 2007.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Classic Capcom.

 

[Paz]

Wow.....

What in the hell went wrong here.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Wow.....

It's like Tomb Raider: DE. So weird.

Makes sense.

I'm starting to regret buying my PS4. First AC Unity, now this.

Misterxmedia was right all along and this just proves it beyond doubt.

Wait, isn't Eurogamer the gameplay reviews branch, and DF is the tech performance branch? That article in that link seems some of both. Do I have it wrong? Eh, I'm confused.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Right. Should have specified, that.

Sell it mate, clearly the XB1 is closing the gap in faceoffs.

 

[blastprocessor]

How does the PS4 manage to run at half the framerate? Is that with the Cinematic option enabled?

Wrongx thief , strider , this game. I think there is a couple more

Should sell it right now. It's obvious that the PS4 is at fault.

 

[Occam]

They should crush Xbone's blacks a little further, then the game would be all black and could probably run at 600fps.

 

[Jeseus]

hmmm ctrl-c X1 code ctrl-v to PS4

Capcom lead programmer "Its running!!!" ... "status: GOLD"

 

[ironcreed]

This is kind of crazy. The PS4 should easily be able to keep up and then keep going. What the hell happened, Capcpom?

My guess on this is that different teams handled the different versions and, as the engine is well suited for DX hardware it seems like the PS4 team struggled for some reason. There are strange visual differences between them that you wouldn't expect. Minor stuff like shadow striping on PS4 in some instances or different DoF in other scenes. It's very strange.

Honestly, for my money, this is one of the worst PS4 port jobs we've seen yet. They really screwed up here and it's really disappointing as this was the version I would have purchased. REmake also had issues on PS4 (frame pacing) but nothing like this. MT Framework really seems to have some issues with the system at this point. Hopefully it won't be used too much more when their latest engine is finished.

Do you have a recommendation for the brightness setting since the XB1 version appears to have FUBAR gamma with this release?

Honestly, the default seems to be just as good as any selection. Decreasing it eliminates detail while increasing washes things out.

What makes you so sure? Are you this person?

Yes.

Finally someone found the trick!

I'm frantically ringing round all my friends trying to swap mine for their Xbox Ones. I'm even throwing in a copy of The Order 1886 but for some reason they're just not biting.

[Vashetti]

Those crushed blacks on XB1 are awful.

Why hasn't MS fixed it yet, is it a design choice?

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

The classics that this generation will be remembered by, clearly.

Especially Thief.

I heard the situation as of now is it is up to the developer. I heard Insomniac patched SO accordingly.
