The vanilla version of this game,was already more demanding than it should of been. Fallout 4's technical performance on PC and consoles was unacceptable.

Allsystemgamer3389d ago

I'm able to run bf1 on ultra at about 155FPS average in 1080p.

Fallout 4 I get around 70. I mean wtf Bethesda.

Sciurus_vulgaris3389d ago (Edited 3389d ago )

Bethesda used an extremely dated engine to create Fallout 4. For example all the lighting in Fallout 4 was uses only 1 CPU.

Fishy Fingers3389d ago (Edited 3389d ago )

Christ! That's surprising to me (not played F4 on PC). That's bad optimisation.

Side note. Up the resolution on BF man! Or downsample.

Allsystemgamer3389d ago

@fishy

Oh I downsample alright. I was just making a point.

Doensampled from 4k eliminates ALL aliasing and stays at a buttery smooth 60fps. It looks so nice.

I ❤ my 1080 strix.

Fishy Fingers3389d ago

Ah I suspected you might of been. I love mine too :D

KwietStorm_BLM3389d ago

I think a much better comparison would be The Witcher.

mikeslemonade3389d ago

If you got a 970 or lower than you are no better than a console pedestrian.

Gaming_Cousin3389d ago

I got around 45 fps in towns with my 980ti @2k. Bethesda is shit when it comes to optimization and bugs

IamTylerDurden13389d ago (Edited 3389d ago )

Fallout 4 basically uses the old ass Gamebryo engine. We're talking over a decade old for the base tech. With Witcher 3 and Horizon showing how beautiful an open world game can be Bethesda needs to make some changes.

Bigpappy3389d ago (Edited 3389d ago )

The problem with that comparison, is Bf1 is nothing like FO4. FO4 is a big open world RPG where every piece of material and it's components are tracked. not only that, almost every NPC has a schedule or routine which include work and sleep. People too often take how Bethesda makes games for granted. There is a lot more happening with NPC and objects than any other developer.

escott0133389d ago

@Allsystemgamer It's worth noting that they are two totally different types of games. The amount of objects and things you can interact with, the AI, and all of the computations that go with all of that... It's just so totally different. The performance vs graphical fidelity alone is such a skewed way to look at optimization, to be honest.
For the record, I really like your username.

to be far there is more going on in fallout. But it still doesn't excuse it.

At least the Pro version is coming next week and it will improve resolution and lighting.

joab7773389d ago

Wish it had come before Nioh, Horizon, Nier, Mass Effect, P5 ...

ServerBOT3389d ago

Definitley. Graphics were good at times but damn it felt unoptimized.

cencik3389d ago (Edited 3389d ago )

No surprise here. If a competent developer had coded this thing, the base game requirements would be far less.

How simply some higher res textures increase the requirements of the CPU this much, is truly a mystery.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio16d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing16d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9216d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit16d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing16d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9216d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
