What thread? Was there seriously a thread on preorders?

PS3 had a bizarre processor and architecture, it wasn't the fact that it was named "Playstation" that gave devs so much trouble.
Jaguar CPUs. Enough said I think.
Even with the colossal DX11 CPU overhead a Core I3 apparently has no issues besting consoles.
And the shadows are not even the only discrepancy between PC's top settings and consoles, volumetric lighting is severely nerged on consoles.

welp.
The thread based on a couple of short videos showing game drops in very specific places had a bunch of people saying they were cancelling on pS4 and buying on X1.
I think a lot of it was just trolling tbh

True but I sure felt like it. Support for it was so weak and I felt like Bethesda really stopped giving af about the PS3 for a while. It did feel like they were more buddy buddy with Microsoft throughout that whole era. It's not crazy to think that especially when you saw it in action.
XBO will take more time to finish, maybe is because the marketing deal.
Funny enough, though, Oblivion on PS3 didn't suffer rimlag bug as Fallout 3, New Vegas and Skyrim did on PS3.
Also, the problem is not really related to PS3. It existed way before that - in Morrowind on the first Xbox.

Search me, judging by his post history I think he might really like to point out that the Xbox One is bad.
They really need to get their shit together and fix it fast, it's the same embarrassment as with the PS3 version of Skyrim all over.How can Bethesda get away with this? They must have an performance patch on the way, right?
With the Xbox I could see some of the issues happening due to what hdd being used, clearing cache etc. I've seen some games run like crap on mine and be smooth on a buddies until I swapped my external hdd to a new one (was using a old PoS).
Same with ps4. The people saying they ran into no slowdowns maybe are using a different hdd than stock and it's helping things somewhat.

Yeah, seems like it.
-Shadow res seems to be 2x
-Volumetric effect resolution is about 3-6x higher (assuming the highest PC setting runs native resolution or half-res in comparison to the given 480x270)?
-Shadow render distance seems to be about 10x as far tbh. Would be interesting to see if there are markers for console settings in the .ini like cryengine games.
The ACU controversy, still very much alive
Once again, unbelievable the state the game has been launched at...
That Xbox1 stutter is laughable... I cant believe Bethesda released the game like this.
Not that PS4 is much better.
But hey who cares right? Its Bethesda. Gfx, bugs, performance dont matter as long as you can fill a room with a ton of loot...GOTY!

Dafuq Bathesda??
I got it on pc so that's all i really care but i have a couple of friends extremely excited to pick up their X1 copies and this shit saddens me, let's hope that a patch will help this out
I think a lot of western devs were buddy buddy with MS because they made a system with architecture that is easy to transition to from PC development, where most big western devs cut their teeth.
Just skim through here and watch the meltdowns and conspiracy theories.

Microsoft had the console that was easier to work with. PS4 and XB1 both have such similar hardware now, it's far easier to port a game across both platforms.
It's related to the devs not giving a shit that save files would exceed the consoles RAM or whatver the fuck was going on. I had Morrowind on XBox, it took like 200 hour save files before the issue became noticeable. I didn't own a PS3 til last month so I wont comment on those ports.

Oh wow. I think for right now, I'm gonna hold off until later. I need to get a hold of the open world game I have right now and it seems like the game in many ways are really not up to par yet for either console so I'll wait.

Hmm, i sure think that Bethesda should use some of that insane amounts of cash this game will get them to add more people to the engine development and getting a fresh or at least heavily changed/optimized engine ready for the next Elder Scrolls game.

In my opinion this game seems to performs worse than Unity. Unity get the benefit of the doubt due to it being a graphically beautiful game under all of it's bugs. While Fallout manages to look like an up res'ed 2007 game with game framerate problems in low populated areas, and alpha/smoke effects that look like they were lifted from dev starter pack.
It's getting great reviews and will sell like crazy. Bethesda will do it again with the next game.

Do you think that lowering the resolution would help?

This was another reason that people said the Xbox One would run better. However, has it actually been confirmed that the Xbox One was the lead platform? Where did you hear that?

Really sad to me to see how difficult of a time devs are having with this generation's underpowered hardware.
This is the greatest comparison I've ever seen.

Oh btw. if that 0 fps is not a bug or something similar, i would love to ask Bethesda if their in-house Skyrim port has the same problem!
