NX Gamer: Anthem: VIP demo analysis on Xbox One X and S
- Thread starter Equanimity
- Start date
Strangely I saw a tweet mentioning that they're looking into a 1080/60 mode if you can believe that.
The game runs like poop on PC. I tried running the game at high (not even ultra) on an i7 6700K/GTX 1080 at 1080P. I was averaging 40s and hitting even 30s in gunfights. Far be it for me to expect playable framerate at 1440P where the performance impact is considerably higher than what it should be going from 1080P-1440P.
Was the hub locked to like 20fps or so? It felt horrible.
The X always outputs the same res, doesn't matter if you're hooked up to a 4k or 1080p tv. You're getting a downsampled image, so it's goinf to have the same drops as everybody else.

The X supersamples automatically, the PS4 Pro does not, if you have the option turned off and it's not enabled by the game.
Btw. Rich is doing it for DF and he has that noted.

I would happily take a locked 30fps mode. Targeting 60 with small dips is even better.
The X looks close enough that I feel like they can get it to 30fps by launch, but the S? Man, the S has a ways to go...

I played it on th x.... It's fine.. yeah noticable at times... But not horrible by any means. You're exaggerating
Literally every time there's a game with bad performance there are people that come in and claim it's fine. I mean anyone can say anything is fine by their own standards but what's the point of going into a thread about perfromance if you don't care or notice it in that way?
Anything that constantly drops to sub 30fps is basically the point where it is not "fine" for anyone that cares about consistent performance, especially on a so called premium console. It's actually ridiculous that we have these mid gen refreshes and still can't get stable 30fps in a ton of games let alone 60.

I will say this, my performance one day one was absolute shit, but the next morning it was much improved. I think a lot of these frame drops have to do with whatever issues Bioware was having during the demo.
I'm the last person who would defend this game, as I found it utterly disappointing, but I don't think the performance is nearly as bad as what we saw.

Hopefully the public demo is a lot better. I've heard some varying reports on PC as well. Some people say they can't even do 1080/60fps on a 1070.
Nah, I think the opposite. Something like preferring a higher res at 30fps. Kinda sucks, i prefer 60.

Seems unlikely, but this was just a few days ago.
Damn, i missed that. Seems crazy if you cant even get a consistent 30.
Ok but your post history suggests you care more about performance rather than actually playing games. Which is fine, that's what you enjoy about games. I used to be the same way with pc gaming. But now... Frankly I don't give a damn and would rather worry about having fun rather than constantly dissecting issues with "frame pacing" or "60fps".
Game was fun, even at 25 fps for me. So even if it's not fixed I'll be buying
My 970 couldn't keep a stable framerate on PC, maybe the demo was just really poorly optimized.
I can attest to this. Ran it on my PC which isn't a beast but config it to make it run at 60fps and it was really damn smooth.
Bullshit. It's completely unacceptable that runs so poorly on the X. There is more than enough power there for a steady 30 fps on anything that can run on a vanilla Xbone at a playable FPS.
For context I was able to run it at 4k Ultra 60fps for the most part (2080ti), but when lots of specials and general activity was on the screen at once, it dropped into the mid 40s or so before working it's way back up. I'm running with gsync, so I probably wouldn't of noticed if I wasn't actively paying attention to the metrics.
I can't imagine playing it at sub 30 fps. Yikes.
I was hoping he can do a comparison of all platforms when I gave him the friend codes, however I do suspect he can only redeem one code per EA account. I have always enjoyed all his analysis.
This is a demo for an unreleased game. Please remember that. If it's still shitty at release, then of course we can slam it all day.
This guy was playing on Pro, and framerate looks pretty better than that X video.

it isn´t fine on consoles, doesn´t matter if it is the X or the Pro. game is horribly optimized atm.
"game runs like shit, doesn´t matter, i´ll buy anyways!"
things like that are exactly the reason why the publishers release games with bad performance.they are bought anyways. if everyone that decides to buy such software at launch would give the money to a charity instead of rewarding bad software the world would be a better place.
Wasn't the demo from an old build? I mean, even if, you should not let the audience test the game in such a state, but still something to consider.
Yes early december. Also optimization always happens at the very end. And Frostbite games usually see big jumps between earlier builds and release builds.
I will quote this, because I would say the game is fairly twitchy. Some classes like the infiltrator are pretty quick, and the game encourages quick evades, and going shooting > flying around at max speed > hovering > shooting in the ground again.
Your right and we should hope for the best, but we can't get upset or make excuses for people looking critically at performance on what was advertised as a demo, not a beta, of a game 2 weeks from release. Whatever they do, it would be naive to think they will deliver substantial improvements this close to launch as they struggle to get 5 versions of the game out the door.
Somehow i doubt it, especially after you tried to derail every AVGN thread 🤔
I doubt they will be able to create another demo in a week or waste their time optimising a demo when the developers will be working night and day to get the full game finished for launch.
I do indeed, I wanted to test the PS4 and PC but code only let me use on one platform, hence the X and S only hear as RocketPunch shared his code.
I will be testing that on Pro as I have done a few times before such as Evil Within 2, RDR2 which is a good feature of the Pro and why I stated giving the user the choice in the OS is the best use of GPU resources.
Ha ha, cheers man for the share, will have full analysis again this weekend.
You think most of these problems are optimization or are the consoles pushed to hard?
On my pro it was barely hitting 30 and more often than not dropping below that. I play on a 1080 screen without super sampling. It was awful.
I think both, as I say in the video adding in a 1080p mode on X and Pro I think could certainly offer a locked 30, maybe from this a solid (enough) 60 maybe too far but I am not sure what all the issues are here. Memory management, streaming and of course just pure load are part of it but this seems to be much more code improvement than simply Res and post reductions. I hope a patch is released for all formats and with a Pc look it helps explain more...possibly
"Optimization"
Always funny to read.
The game looked and performed well on my system (PC), but I brute forced it (2700x/2080) and I should probably have been getting more frames than I was.
The real problems for me come from severe lack of feedback during combat in terms of understanding when you're being hit and from where. And a general lack of feedback with the shooting itself.

It's really not a twitch based shooter. But yea fps in the 20's is unnaceptable. Either optimizations needs to be in place for release or they need to drop settings in the meantime.
Hey mate, nice to see you posting!
I found the controller response on the X terrible when it dropped frames.
Considering I get 40-50fps on my PC with an i5 4690k @ 4GHz and a 970 at 1080p / Medium settings the X should have no issues holding a locked 30fps at dynamic 4k.
I can't see how a 1080p mode would work in this game on the Pro / X since it seems very CPU dependant.
