"Fallout 4 does hold 30fps as a general rule"
It's not skyrim PS3 guys, stop it

Has anyone tried running the X1 build with a USB 3.0 7200rpm(+) or better drive?
I'm as curious as Digital Foundry is when it comes to loading/hitching.
I suppose I'll get to test it tomorrow, lol. I don't have the hardware to see what the framerate is in comparison though.
This tells me you (and I'm sure there are PLENTY of others), don't understand what the 0fps thing is.
True. I am curious if it would be better on the hybrid drive XB1 model? Or people with external SSD's?
Yeah the loading thing has happened in other games, I mentioned Halo Reach before, it did a similar thing. Halo 5 still does it sometimes when it loads although obviously not to this extent, but DF even brought it up as a common thing in the series.

Kinda frustrating that they would advertise the inferior version with free BC and early mod support.

It's weird. Bethesda has been sending the PS4 version despite the marketing deal. It should be assumed that the PS4 version has a better performance.

I'm watching the Giantbomb QL and the frame drops seem pretty regular to me, especially in combat.

Not really seems like the CPU is choking....

If you're trying to make a point I'm not sure what it is... I just asked about the variance in minimum requirements.
Is self admitted shitposting even allowed on Gaf? Mods? Mods? Bueller?

Not for the streaming issue. 900p would probably have helped the general framerate though, which seems to lag behind PS4 for the most part (ignoring the 0fps streaming issue).
Same engine does not mean that the scale of CPU usage has not been increased. Also, same "base" engine does not mean that there were zero additional feature added to the engine (Pete Hines confirmed for instance that they added PBR Rendering, which already open a completely different world on the GPU usage).
The Xbox One issues are really puzzling though, the "chugs" are too massive to be linked to raw performance only, so either this is something fixable through patches and there is something seriously fuxked up in their Xbox One code or there is black magic at work.
Went for PS4 either way (despite having a PC that would run it at least on par with it, but not drastically more), just willing to use my current living room setup for this game, might go for a PC double-dip much later though, when modd community would have done their marvel and I would have invested in a new Rig.
This is a reductive attitude too. There is a perfect medium between the two. One doesn't need to have a complete wasteland devoid of life, nor do you need to populate your world with large amounts of movable trash everywhere.

You're trying to get me in trouble for being sarcastic? In this of all threads?
They have the Xbox version?

Yup. At least in the XB1 vs. PS4 comparison they don't show any indoor area. I haven't watched the analysis that compare them with PC.
PS4 version.
The QL is based on the PS4 version.
Those hipccups in the XB1 still only reported by DF. So that is the anectodal evidence. Poor framerates on interior buildings is present in more than one video out there, and not in the DF analysis.

New frames passed in a sample size of the last second: 0
0FPS.
If their sample size is lower than a second it's even easier.
I was trying to understand your point in being sarcastic, make a Ferris Bueller reference, and have some poor pointless sarcasm/shitposting removed all in one.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Boy that thread was ridiculous. Between the child molestation analogies and the accusation of MS and Bethesda being in collusion all contingent on whether XO ran better than PS4 -- I wasn't sure where any of the information was coming from or based on to support half of the claims made in that thread.

Yes, trust the random videos with no frame rate analysis on them. Aren't you a paid MS employee? Should you not refrain from shilling?

Tbh, in here just sounds so dreadful. I'm sorry but I'm not buying this game day one until it's fixed. Bethesda shouldn't get away with this irregardless of great gameplay. The game is fucking broken and a technical embarrassment. Ubisoft did not get off this with Unity so neither should them, especially after 7 years
DF analyzed on two consoles for each version and reported on common hiccups. Pretty damning stuff.
Lol wut?

If the last frame of the previous second hold for another second static then you have a moment of 0fps.
It is like the time of 1 second passed and the frame didn't changed.
It is a freeze issue.

So....
How is Xbx One holding up in interiors? Also...has there been a graphical comparison yet?

The XB1 version also goes as low as 0 fps, even worse than dips to 1fps in Assassins Creed Syndicate on that platform. Of course DF never shows those dips.
Another big game with framerate issues, did the person who spoke of big games with framerate only speak of one or several. Between COD, Syndicate and Fallout4, all these games look like they deserved more time in the oven, how ironic on easier to develop (PC like platforms). So many issues with games, loadtimes, framerates, textures, Af, effects. There always seem to be an issue even with the most basic of remasters, this gen has been truly terrible in that regard.

It seems there's no mentions about the interior environments.

I guess ultimately my point was $400 =/= $300. Why you felt the need to bring it up 5 pages later to backseat mod is the real point now.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
That's pretty much my rig, based on what I've seen it your best bet. But dat steam price...
Isn't that i3 a dualcore CPU? So basically they've done next to nothing to ensure Gamebr--sorry, Creation Engine utilizes multiple cores efficiently?
Edit: Wait, nevermind. It was the same with Witcher 3 where their low budget PC beat the consoles as well and Witcher 3 loves itself some CPU cores. I guess it just speaks towards how utterly weak the CPUs in the current gen consoles are.
er.. poor wording of my part. I mean, nobody talked about those hiccups until DF, and some people said they are not experiencing those frequent hiccups in their playtime.
Meanwhile there's plenty of videos showing the poor framerate inside buldings. Which is tottaly absent in the DF video.

I am certain they will fix this. I could be very wrong on this....but in the gif on the previous page, that reminds me of what i had in Fallout 3 on 360 after the 100 hour mark. it would start to lock up for 1 second or so and then go smooth again.

And when did I say anything about $300? When did anyone? I just asked if the minimum spec was the 550TI or 7870, since both are listed and very different.
So you get to decide what "the point" is I guess? Not your trolling, but me not bringing it up instantly a few pages ago with minutes between pages, as if I had nothing else to do?

Yep. Well, I must be very sensitive to frame drops then. My fault.
Never shows what dips? The Fallout 4 "0 fps" screen is obviously showing just that. Are you talking about Assassin's Creed Unity now?

I know what you're talking about in ACU and I believe all of those issues have been fixed. It was NOT an Xbox One problem either. I encountered those massive "1 fps" issues on my PC playing ACU as well initially. It appeared in areas with certain materials (stain glass in particular). Nasty bug, but it was eliminated quickly.
Ok, I read that as Unity. Too much staring at the screen.
Ahahahaahahahaha @ all those drama-queens who wanted to switch from PS4 to Xbox One in yesterdays "Framerate PS4" thread. I hope rationality will return in all Fallout 4 threads, because things were heading into a ludicrous direction even by GAF AAA-thread standards.
I have played the game for 12 hours now - I'm loving it to death and I'm not the biggest RPG and Bethesda fan. I think it tops Witcher 3 because the gameplay and RPG portion of the game is much for satisfying for me.

There were a lot of people claiming that the XB1 version is pretty bad too, but most of those posts got ignored.

Oh guys....what about one of the biggest annoyances when it comes to game bugs EVER?
Have they had the game freeze on them any time? Boy this destroyed my New Vegas fun.

People threw around the $300 PC beats console performance, shall I get you a direct reference?
Someone replied with a $400 PC that may not have even included input devices. That's what I replied to.

Yeah, the steam price is really stupid. If it was in the avarage price I'd probably risk the PC version.
