Man, Marvel's Avengers Does Not Perform Well On PS4

Marvel's Avengers on a base PS4 has serious framerate and general performance issues, as well as an absolute swathe of bugs.

Was fine for me. Beta was a shit show. Release runs fine, just also looks like a 1st-year PS4 game as far as characters go sometimes. Nothing as bad as what's in the video at all. In beta, the bridge scene for me was way more bug-ridden than this (Kamala loss her hair, even). But, release, very different.

Christopher2092d ago (Edited 2092d ago )

I got Jarvis' navigation thingy-ma-bob (sorry if my technical jargon is confusing). It's the first mission where you take Hulk as a companion in an open world scenario.

The unfortunate thing with bugs is that they don't happen for everyone, so these kinds of reports often do not reflect everyone's experience. Sometimes it's something specific to the user's hardware that will cause the problem, and even doing something like rebuilding the PS4 database could resolve.

SierraGuy2090d ago

A lot of these bugs are fixed by a simple database rebuild.

Nitrowolf22091d ago

I had hair loss in the final myself.
FPS dip, plenty but everyone knows that. Otherwise nothing too major

Christopher2090d ago

I think the worst thing I've had other than a few not-so-bad dips is open areas look like they're utilizing PS3/360 generation foliage at times.

My biggest problems with the game is really just how it throws so much at you that all that parrying and dodging stuff just doesn't matter because so much is attacking you at once that you're going to get hit and interrupted a ton. And I'm not talking about that reactor level ending where you have to fly around just to avoid the 30+ enemies on screen while you take a second or two to finally get a shot at the reactor weak points. But, those hold points scenarios can get pretty stupid with the enemy numbers and there's no way there's enough time to aim to take out air guys when there's 10 guys on the ground waiting to pound you.

The pro version was fine. PC ver is quite rough. Bad optimization all around smh.

The game looks crap. I am also sick to death of so many third person games having that awful over the shoulder view, it causes so many camera issues. Just look at the 2 minute mark, the field of view is terrible.

CrimsonWing692091d ago

Yea, no kidding, that’s why there’s the Xbone X and PS4 Pro. Almost every recent game performs poorly on the base consoles. Like is this really news to you?

AcidDvl2091d ago

Last of Us Part II and Ghost of Tsushima would like a word with you...

CrimsonWing692091d ago

My reading comprehension skills want a word with you. I said “almost” every recent game. As in most but not all.

Silly gameAr2091d ago

What recent games are you referring to CrimsonWing?

catlover3162090d ago

first party from sony has been mostly great this gen, third party games are hit and miss.

CorndogBurglar2091d ago

The only recent game that has performed poorly on my base PS4 is Control.

SierraGuy2090d ago

Control is extremely demanding though.

jukins2091d ago

maybe "poorly" is the wrong choice of words here

melons2091d ago

So you're just supposed to accept bad optimisation and performance every time on the version of the platform that most people play on? Is that what you're saying?

I’m so ready for Suicide Squad to fill the Avengers void in my life

Marvel’s Avengers didn’t soar properly on PS5 and Xbox, but Kill the Justice League looks like it will improve on it in every way.

I can’t work out if this guy is just being sarcastic

Leeroyw852d ago

This website pumps out one shill article after the other. Does not qualify as journalism.

ShwaaMan852d ago

Said the guy who just got a big check from WB.

YourMommySpoils852d ago

Does that mean it will have a thousand pointless costumes like Avengers did, not related to the game or source?

coolbeans852d ago

"Guy who's excited for Suicide Squad to fill the void left by The Avengers' closure."

Traecy852d ago

I'll be checking it out on day one of release.

Why Have Many of the Online Multiplayer Games of the Past Five Years Failed?

Here's a look at why so many online-multiplayer games from the past five years have struggled to retain players and their attention.

ChasterMies954d ago

Or put another way, why don’t people want to invest in an on-line storefront?

sparky77954d ago

It's simply FOMO.

Gamers always go back to their staples like COD or Fortnite. Those games have constant content and leaving them for another game means getting left behind. Why start a new game and be behind when you can stay with a game you already excel at.

ZycoFox954d ago (Edited 954d ago )

COD is replaced every year or almost every year, it has no time to hold a player base. 3-4 years is a good timeline for a sequel IMO if the game has enough content to begin with, maybe add a couple of free content updates a bit later after release if needed, and job done until the next game.

Soldier of Fortune 2 was one of my first few online FPS games apart from RTCW and a couple of others, and that had a couple of free patches which added in new weapons, maps and a new game mode in just a year or so. I hope the series makes a comeback, I heard MS owns it now and it has been dormant for a while.

The only sequel that came fast (just 1 year later) that impressed me with extra content over the original was L4D2, makes me wonder what happened with Valve. If they can do that in one year then what have they been doing since..

-Foxtrot954d ago (Edited 954d ago )

Because it's not about putting out a fully completed game packed with content and something that actually works

It's about putting something out broken and barebones, slowly drip feed content with a roadmap and offering tons of MTs which they hope people will buy.

I miss when you'd just get games like Killzone or Halo and they'd get a couple of DLC packs then the developers would move onto the next game. Problem is they started to be influenced by COD where future games had to have gimmicks, weapon mods, loadouts, killstreaks and other shit which just become about what you had unlocked rather than skill.

The last multiplayer game I really enjoyed was Uncharted 2s, it was literally just two boosters and everyone started with the same weapons. It was great and felt like it was more about skill but then we got Uncharted 3 and 4 where the COD influence creeped in thinking that everything had to be bigger rather than sticking to the fanbase they had.

Nitrowolf2954d ago

i agree. i used to love MP games for these titles, and be excited about the map packs and such. now it's we will release one mode and one map, and see how people take to the game. Flops? cool move on.

isarai954d ago

Even before the PS3 generation ended, I was already longing for a return to simplistic MP without all the XP, booster, perks, and ridiculous custom loadouts full of op exploitation. Like there's definitely a huge audience for that, but there's NO classic style simple MP modes anymore, I'm just asking for some

ZeekQuattro954d ago

Most people don't have the time to invest into playing multiple GAAS and stick to just one. It also doesn't help that so many games in that field only have a roadmap laid out for the first month or so. Hard to keep people invested when you don't give them a reason to stick around after the initial launch month.

excaliburps954d ago

Yep. I know what you mean. I can't play more than 1-2 live service games at a time (this includes shooters) since it's just so overwhelming.

shinoff2183954d ago (Edited 954d ago )

My theory , well online gaming just sucks, so many online games recently that if done the right way could've been dope ass single player games. One that comes to mind evil dead. What a waste of the title
