Star Wars Battlefront Beta Xbox One Frame-Rate Test [Work In Progress]

Digital Foundry:

No early access for us on this one - we finally got a look at the Xbox One version of Star Wars Battlefront this morning, we spent the day playing and analysing it, and here's our report. Oh, and yes - it is rendering at 720p. So how well can it sustain its 60fps target?

Genuine-User3928d ago (Edited 3928d ago )

720p. "And lot more frame drops on balance than the PS4 version, sometimes below the 50 fps line"

On the plus side for Xbox players; Battlefront looks and performs better than Battlefield.

d_g3928d ago (Edited 3928d ago )

yeah PS4 have Better overall version

glad that both consoles are close to PC Graphics effects (1:10)

Genuine-User3928d ago (Edited 3928d ago )

Yep. Good to see that both are equivalent to high-graphical-settings.

HaveSumNuts3928d ago

Battlefield 4, Hardline and now Battlefront all run the same res. 2 years of spent developing with the same engine and no improvement. Played Battlefront 3 beta and what I see is a re-skinned Star Wars themed Battlefield. Hardline is even worse of an offender because that was BF4 dlc in plain sight for full price. Dice is lazy the gameplay is the same, no optimisation same res and the same Battlefield template. Same shit different laxatives.

killer8763928d ago

I want some of what you're smoking
Close to PC lolol

d_g3928d ago (Edited 3928d ago )

@killer876 that’s what digital foundry said,if you actually open the video in 1:10

so don’t ask me ask him....lolol

ABizzel13928d ago

@HaveSum.......

I agree there should be more optimization, especially considering that this is multiplayer only so there was no real team split for a single player campaign to get in the way.

That being said the battlefield games were hovering around mid/high, where DF says this is pure high PC settings which is a step up, and the frame-rate while not flawlessly 60fps or near locked, is much better than both battlefields which had some upper 40fps drops and dipped to the low 50's quite frequently.

Azzanation3928d ago

Well being an online game means that it goes to who offers the better online experience and controls as well. Its not always about visuals. Having better visuals doesn't mean its a better overall game.

dantesparda3927d ago

Well then Azzanation, I have both and I can tell you that there is way more lag and rubber banding on the X1 version. The first time I tried to play, I was stuck in a lobby forever. And mind you, I played the X1 ver. at like 2-3am. Whereas the PS4 version, I only saw a couple of instances of lag. And mind you, that was while the X1 version was still downloading in the background and during peak times like 8-9pm. So there goes that "insinuation". Oh and you can definitely tell the difference in res. With the PS4 version looking a lot sharper. The comparison shots don't do it justice. It is far more noticeable in real life.

BubbsyKong3927d ago

If you have played ultra on Pc at 1080p then no it comes no where close :p But it still looks good on consoles as I always say graphics dont make a game their just a bonus :)

ZeroX98763927d ago

close to PC....

$350 for the PS4 VS a PC of the exact same value ($350) would be a fair comparison. it's always what level of performance can I get for how much I've spent on the hardware.

I say $350 for a PS4 to run the game to nearly the equivalent of High on PC, that's a remarkable performance for such a low price.

XBLSkull3927d ago (Edited 3927d ago )

After playing all 3 versions, starting with a PC 1080p60+ ultra, I can safely conclude that both PS4 and XB1 look like terrible, blurry messes. Pathetic that frostbite has been on those consoles for 2 years and no improvements have been made. I already preordered unfortunately, but from here on out I'm not touching frostbite games until you get your **** together.

Perjoss3927d ago

"yeah PS4 have Better overall version"

business as usual then

Timesplitter143928d ago (Edited 3928d ago )

Still pretty amazing that this runs at 60fps-ish on consoles. I can't wait until people stop accepting 30fps games once and for all. Whoever said the difference between 30 and 60 isn't important was either insane or had a 30hz display

StrawberryDiesel4203928d ago

I completely agree, I would trade my left nut to play Bloodborne at a silky smooth 60fps.

StrawberryDiesel4203928d ago

hiawa233928d ago

To be honest, we gamers don't really accept 30fps. We play what the devs make.

_-EDMIX-_3927d ago

Well depends on the game. I'm ok with 60fps on a title like this, but other titles that run 30fps I'm fine with too.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

LOVING it so far!

BubbsyKong3927d ago

honestly it does and it dusnt, IMO i dont like 30fps now that ive had my pc for about 6 months I find my lowest acceptable fps is like 40-45 after that I notice it but betweek that 45-60 i can never really tell unless im doing 720ies in csgo LMAO

Been playing Star Wars Battlefront Beta on the PC, and like I suspected, game is crap. I honestly don't understand why people got exited for this game. Well, probably due to the name Star Wars...
60€ for this game on Origin? LOL.

I only hope DICE doesn't screw up Mirror's Edge Catalyst.

thrust3928d ago

Did you get killed a lot and you can not handle it!

fermcr3928d ago

@thrust
"Did you get killed a lot and you can not handle it!"

Actually no, I did ok. I just found the game boring as hell.

Rumb13stiltzkin3928d ago

Based on your "suspicion" going into the game and the toxicity of your opinion after having played it, I don't think anyone would be remiss in assuming that you were predisposed to dislike Battlefront.

If you'd gone in with an open mind and given the game a fair chance, your comment probably would have looked more like a cogent critique of the aspects of the game you didn't enjoy.

So your opinion, entitled to it as you are, is probably only going to resonate with the kind of folks who are inextricably drawn to click-bait articles and prone to confirmation bias.

But I see you provided a little bit of insight: "I just found the game boring as hell," which seems a little dramatic and smacks of bitterness.

Set aside your pride for a moment.

Was it really? Was it really "boring as hell?"

windblowsagain3927d ago

I thought Mirrors edge was meh. I would only pay £10 quid for it.

There's only a few maps and modes with the beta.

Graphically it's very high quality@60fps.

lelo2play3928d ago

My advice to X1 owners.

Wait for Star Wars Battlefront on EA Access. There are way more interesting games getting released on November.

thrust3928d ago

Or buy it from Singapore store for half price!

Kribwalker3928d ago

I go game testing at EA, so if I have time to make it in before that happens it'll be need for speed then this one. Don't think I'm paying full price right after halo and tomb raider Come out

81BX3928d ago

I haven't had any issues with frame rate yet (knock on wood) on xb1. Ive been seen skeptical articles about this game so i laid off the hype but after playing it im super hyped. So many childhood memories! Finally a star wars game for me!

UKmilitia3928d ago

well you must be lucky because its proven that there are alot.

Ra30303928d ago

Even at 720p or even less this game looks and runs fantastic.

Rarefaction3928d ago

People accusing dive of being lazy are hilarious. They have added material based rendering into the engine. So it has been optimised to include this. If you wanted identically graphics at higher resolution in sure their engine would support that by now.

spicelicka3928d ago

Considering how incredible Halo 5 looks and runs at constant 60 fps with almost triple the content, don't know why their optimization sucks.

BallsEye3928d ago

Dice is doing crap job with translating their engine to xbox one. It's not hardware problem, it's dev problem, just as ps3 had dev problem last gen.

NerdStalker3927d ago

Will that be a game you will now be buying it on your imaginary ps4?

BallsEye3926d ago (Edited 3926d ago )

@NerdStalker

Oh boy, you're still at it? Guess what, not only I got more than one gaming machine (actually 2x xbox one, 1x ps4, 3x moster PC's and all last gen systems) I just bought a new house with a big @ss lot 1600m2. It's just that,unlike you, I do more in life than stalk people on gaming websites.

As for your question, no I won't be buying it. I just didn't like it that much. I'll be getting Rainbox Six Siege, much better game with less kids playing it.

NerdStalker3926d ago

It's hilarious how you try to justify having a superior opinion by saying I have all consoles and I know which one is better, it's getting old. What's even funnier is how you try to back up your sad opinions by saying you have a big house job bla bla bla. Truth is the fact you have to tell people this tell's everyone that your really just a big troll who tries to have evey angle covered. Star Wars will be great it's a shame you let your fanboy colors ruin things for you. You wont play it because ps4 version is better and you wont play it on ps4 even though you have a ps4, you sir are a fanboy 101.

zarbor3928d ago (Edited 3927d ago )

Way to find a positive out of this complete mess by Dice. No thanks. Nobody should buy it on the XB1. Even the XB fanboys should skip it and send Dice a real message. They won't.

Personally, I love Star Wars but I'm not getting this for my PS4. Played the demo and not impressed. Games have gotten better since BF but Dice hasn't.

kevnb3927d ago (Edited 3927d ago )

Dropping just below 50fps is no big deal at all.

OC_MurphysLaw3928d ago

It is disappointing to see Dice really hasn't done any kind of optimization for this engine for either console over the past 2 years.

DragonbornZ3928d ago

Well the performance is better than bf4. But yea its still a shame Dice haven't been able to change res after 2 years, while other games have.

TheGreatGamer3928d ago

Dice has pumped out 3 big games already so it's no wonder they haven't had the time/resources to optimize their engine but I hope they do soon.

DragonDDark3928d ago

It's a work in progress after all.

miyamoto3928d ago

For the Xbox One its a work on progress but if this is on PS4 Eurogamer and DFoundry will blast the PS4 to smithereens.

djplonker3928d ago

Dice have only made bf4 and battlefront

Hardline was done by visceral the people who made dead space.

_-EDMIX-_3927d ago

Agreed. I see the young uninformed gamers are getting exposed on this article as I've read several times that Hardline was a DICE game LMFAO!

Bruh!

u4one3928d ago (Edited 3928d ago )

hmmm. 900p i can handle. 720p is disappointing. thats a gap in resolution where i do really notice the difference in sharpness.

seems like other developers are getting more than Dice which is weird. i mean - i know there are a lot of variables in optimizing performance but games like f6, gta5 and destiny are hitting 1080p with great performance. even ROTR is hitting 1080p. I'm fine with them dropping down to 900 but oof... no 720p. i guess i'll be picking up the ps4 version if i decide to get it.

uth113928d ago

yeah, seems like this year there have been fewer instances of resolution-gate differences and fewer sub-1080p games overall. Unless the media just got tired of reporting on it.

UltraAtomic3928d ago

I am super surprised that battlefront is running 720p it looks like its running 1080p on x1. Never the less looks better than bf4 and hardline best looking shooter! I can't say the same for its gameplay tho :/

poppinslops3928d ago

Fps/resolution is the least of this game's problems... Never though Star Wars could be so boring.

wakeNbake3928d ago

Yeah I feel like the graphics are great and the gunplay is decent, but the game feels very shallow and one note IMO.

poppinslops3928d ago

Agreed... needs more Revy.
