So I been interested in this game but I'm nervous. Can anyone with the Ps4 version tell me if it runs good? I know Bethesdas track record with ps3.

fudgenasty213081d ago

the game is good but frame rate dips all the time

NewMonday3081d ago

@the_hitman3000

PS4 is standard architecture so not the same issue., the drops are just a couple of frames occasionally, the bigger 10 frame drops are very situational and you may encounter them only a handfull of times the whole game.

Dee_Blessed3081d ago

Can this be fixes via update? Because if so I will purchase game after update

Lord_Sloth3081d ago

It does dip but hasn't dipped by much for me.

Elwenil3081d ago

Honestly there are a few FPS issues and a bit of trouble with the AI but nothing that makes me feel like I am not having a great time. The issues are not very common and I would definitely buy the game and play it now unless you intend to hide in a hole to keep away from spoilers. So far its been an amazing experience and a very solid game with a lot of innovation. It's nothing revolutionary, more like evolutionary and I don't mean to give Bethesda a "free pass" but it is very immersive and is one of those games you can't wait to get back to when you are at work or doing other things. It's been a while since I've had a game that made me start my day with only 3 hours sleep because I stayed up too late the night before playing it, lol.

brish3081d ago

I was worried about the quality of Fallout 4 based on bethesda's track record. The comments I read in various forums said it mostly works so I picked it up.

I haven't finished the game so I'll just say what I've encountered so far on the ps4 with about 20 hours in the game.

The ps4 version does have glitches but far less than the ps3 patched version of Skyrim. The current version of Fallout 4 is the most stable game I've ever played from bethesda. It's not perfect but I have to give them credit because I heard they spent over 6 months before release just making sure the game is stable and it shows.

I have encountered zero quest breaking bugs so far. The only quest problem I had is one person who I was supposed to talk to wouldn't talk to me. I was able to finish the quest in a different way.

I have had zero crashes so far.

I have noticed that some glowing and smoke effects sometimes don't render properly but it's rare.

Most of the time the game runs at 30fps but under heavy load and in certain areas there are frame drops. I was in a fire fight in a factory with over 10 raiders and sometimes fps dropped to 20 when 6 or 7 were visible. After an auto-save when using the pip-boy it can stutter for a second.

This is the first time I've ever been able to say this about a bethesda game. Fallout 4 is playable on release!

Pintheshadows3081d ago

After about 78 hours it does dip for sure. There are a few places in built up areas where it does it consistently. Also if you turn to face a firefight (that sometimes you can't see) between several factions. However, for the most part it isn't too bad at all. It certainly didn't impact my experience meaningfully.

Bugs and glitches wise there are some funny ones. A lot of physics based stuff where a box or piece of limb will tumble end over end continuously. I also came across a door that was just a plain grey texture. That is about it really. I didn't encounter anything major. None of the quests seemed to be broken on my playthrough and no crashes at all.

If you like this type of game I would definitely recommend picking it up. Just be aware that you will lose hours in it. It is a time sinkhole.

Taero3080d ago

Where do the dips happen for you? I haven't actually had any that I've noticed yet, is it post diamond city as I'm about to reach that.

Pintheshadows3080d ago

There is a footbridge in the centre of Boston that seems to cause them all the time. It is nearby a specific tower that is usually very active in terms of enemy activity. It really dislikes it. I have since discovered that it also struggles there on the PC version. Very strange.

There are a few interiors (specifically those with a lot of lighting going on) that seem to cause the dips consistently as well. For the most part the game has been smooth though, it is just odd that they occur in the same places across multiple platforms.

As I said though, nothing that caused me any real concern.

BlackTar1873081d ago (Edited 3081d ago )

i have been playing for a bit i'm lvl 20 and i have not seen any real glitches or stutters or anything. Maybe im lucky but compared to Fallout 3, Fallout NV, Oblivion and Skyrim this is damn near perfect.

I've had a glitch where one of the NPCs was floating above ground but that's it that i can remember. If i had more or something i can't think of it which means it was so small i didn't care to make a metal note about it.

See i haven't even noticed Frame dips like above me has.

kodycc3081d ago

Same here on the ps4 version of the game. Having a great time with it. While there are still some few bugs (for me I've had my guns turn invisible and not be able to aim until I either open the pipboy or pause the game), I haven't had anything game breaking at all. The frame rate is perfectly fine most of the time, and even when it dips it is still easily playable.

seanpitt233081d ago (Edited 3081d ago )

You will not see that level with the ps4 now because these consoles are just like PCs but having played the ps4 version it's runs ok it does dip to the low 20s when finding new areas and big gun fights but hopefully they will patch this soon but for a Bethesda game it runs ok 80% of the time.

Livecustoms3081d ago

The game is fine on the Ps4, framrate is definitely playable it never stuters in gun fights etc.

the_hitman30003081d ago (Edited 3081d ago )

Thanks everyone for the responses. I knew the hardware was similar but I didn't know if the game ran slightly better. But frame rate dips aren't a big deal for me.

3081d ago
I_am_Batman3081d ago

It runs fine most of the time. I'm over 40 hours in and it's definately enjoyable. There have been 2 spots for me so far with really major framerate drops. One of them is fairly early in the main quest line where you are in a building. It's definately noticable that the game cannot maintain a stable 30 fps during that mission. Another spot is around a village called Goodneighbour where the framerate randomly drops really low near the entrance of the village.

Sometimes it's not really clear why the framerate drops but most of the time the game runs stable. It's definately possible that Bethesda patches the worst drops because they seem to have more to do with streaming issues than actually demanding tasks.

Marked3081d ago

Joe did a pretty good job of explaining it. Bethesda did a poor job optimizing on all platforms. Beside the glitches the game is very engaging.

kraenk123081d ago (Edited 3081d ago )

then why does my PC version run perfectly fine on my middleclass PC with 4 year old CPU?!

Malphite3081d ago

@kraenk12: Have you been in Corvega or at the bridge at Goodneighbour? I have a pretty beast PC and I get huge framerate dips in those areas. The game doesn't seem to be well optimized when playing on higher settings.

Pintheshadows3081d ago

Interesting to know that it dips in the same places on PC as on PS4 Malphite. Those are two locations (specifically the bridge) where the game has a hard time.

Sora_19943081d ago

Im stuck inside a dead body right now if that helps ur questions

MasterCornholio3081d ago

Let me guess, you mistook superglue for lubricant?

;)

Tokasmke3081d ago

My experience has been smooth on PS4. Occasional bugs but nothing major.

DashArrivals3081d ago (Edited 3081d ago )

@ the_hitman3000, geez man. I've been playing this on PS4 for hours and hours and have not come across a single damn problem. It looks crisp in detail aswell and I'm playing on a Sony 75" UHD 4k TV... game is totally fine plays really well. I swear this on my parents lives. That is how serious I am. DO NOT listen to all these other bums saying bad things about how it runs. Take it from someone who has been playing this for hours and hours on PS4, the game is fine and nothing bad happens in performance to make you worry. Any "problems" you may encounter are totally negligible.

Yui_Suzumiya3081d ago

I got it at launch and I've had no issues on PS4 except very rare frame dips.

jocomat93081d ago (Edited 3081d ago )

the game runs good on ps4. i have over 20 hours and no frame rate problems.

barb_wire3081d ago

@ the_hitman3000

I have the PS4 version and have been playing since it launched. I can only give you my personal experiences with it though..

But in all the hrs I've played, the game has been butterly smooth, every now and then I have a drop in FPS (extremely small drop) and it's over so fast I barely notice it.

I've had no game breaking bugs nor have I encountered any mission breaking bugs either. I have had just 2 glitches.. 1 a frozen pip-boy forced me to load a prior save and 1, where I got stuck in the ground and was killed a raider.. that's it.

I can understand your feeling regarding Bethesda and the PS3 though.. Skyrim, is a slideshow for me on my PS3, FO3 was great it just suffered when the DLC introduced, Oblivion froze my PS3 regularily and New Vegas, overall ran good but suffered huge FPS drops even when not in combat.

IMO, I'd say get Fallout 4 - I've been having a blast with it, modding weapons is so cool and the settlements are surprisingly deep once you get to grips with the control scheme.

the_hitman30003081d ago

Well all my friends said the same thing so thanks again everyone and I just bought Fallout 4 today. I'm pretty excited.

showtimefolks3081d ago

best reviewer in business and 8 from joe is a 10 from ign

thank you for the awesome review

DivineAssault 3081d ago

If youve ever played a bethesda game, you know what to expect.. Great game but has its flaws just like all the others have on consoles

DafunkyRebel3080d ago

the lag is on par with Fallout 3 on ps3, no lie I was fighting a group of raiders and the frame rate drop to low it took me 2 seconds for the shoot button to register a shot

Hotabang3080d ago

heres one thing out of many that happened to me while i was playing fallout 4:

I want to a location, there was a small hut. Outside of the hut i saw a naked man (wearing underwear only). I talk to the man and immediately get an option: -Free prisoner -dont free prisoner.
It was weird, he didnt speak at all, hes standing OUTSIDE of the house, and theyre asking me to free him....
anyway, i said 'ok, maybe they locked him out of the house and called him a prisoner....maybe?'
so i chose to free him. as soon as i selected that option, a bunch of guys pop up and kill me in like 2 seconds.
I die, the game loads, i go to the hut, this time preparing myself, the guy wasnt there, and there were only 3 dogs in the hut.

PixyPolly3077d ago

Frankly, if you meet the recommend spec, game runs real smooth but you have to cap it at 60fps. I have minor stuttering but fixed with simple Nvdia settings.

sullynathan3081d ago (Edited 3081d ago )

He really wanted to give this game a 7/10 but I think he knew it would create even more butthurt and because he's a fan of the games.

@Nivekki I don't hate video games.

@Lenns He would for a game series like this. Imagine the dislikes he would get for giving Fallout 4 a 5/10 or 6/10.

Lenns3081d ago

I don't think he cares for butthurt fans after giving Halo 5 a 6.

76erz243081d ago

His Halo 5 review was one of the worst i've seen in a long time. He barley went into how pristine the multiplayer is and he focused on his disappointments with the campaign and complaining about aspects that weren't part of the game rather then aspects actually in the game. It was almost how not to do a big game review.

TwoForce3081d ago (Edited 3081d ago )

@76erz24 Angry joe has his own opinion, but you should know that angry joe has a deep hate of Microtransaction of every games. Even I noticed that the story of Halo 5 was disappointed to be honest. And what the hell removing the split screen ? For what ? Keeping 1080/60 fps ? Well, that's true. But the game only run 1080 some places, not all natively. This was confirmed by DF. In the end, Joe take his reviews more times than other sites. Agree or disagree with him ? That's your opinion. It's also his opinion.

Wallstreet373081d ago (Edited 3081d ago )

76erz....

Kind of how many review sites lambasted Killzone SF for the campaign they didn't like but it has an awesome mp.

The same with Starhawk but these games suffered lower scores. The bias in reviewers is self evident when they turn around and give higher scores to say "Titan Fall" which has no sp and they say its ok. Many reviews also scored Halo 5 higher in general saying the campaign is forgetful but its ok because its a primarily mp focused game.

I think reviewers have been kind to Halo 5, as they were gratuitous with MCC a game whos online was broken for like a year and unplayable much of that time. They called out Drive Club on it which had online issue only a fraction of the time compared to MCC lol

-Foxtrot3081d ago

@76erz24

His Halo 5 review was spot on, he then went onto list all the reasons WHY he give it that. So he explained his low score

Plus Joe is a massive Halo fan

Fatdrinkofwater3081d ago

Angry joe said he didnt even finish halo 4.

What kind of massive halo fan would do that?

Angry joe is a fraud

freshslicepizza3081d ago

@-Foxtrot
"His Halo 5 review was spot on, he then went onto list all the reasons WHY he give it that. So he explained his low score "

and many reviews explained why the new tomb raider is excellent but you don't seem to listen to those. in fact angry joe gave the last tomb raider game a 9/10. fallout 4 he gave a 8/10 yet you are trying to tell everyone fallout 4 is better even though you haven't played the new tomb raider. it will be interesting to see what he says about the new one but he will likely wait until it comes out to the pc.

-Foxtrot3081d ago

Oh look Saltybread going off topic, bringing shit up from a post I said way, way below

You defend Tomb Raider waaaaay too much and care about other peoples opinions on it too much aswell

We all know why

Nivekki3081d ago (Edited 3081d ago )

Or maybe he gave the score he did because he thought that was the score he thought it deserved?

We get it - you hate Fallout 4. Your constant crap about the game is getting old now.

EDIT:@sully

I never said you did, I said you hated this game :S

You know, the game you constantly go out of your way to tell everyone else why they shouldn't like it because you don't.

The game you obsessively talk about.

frostypants3081d ago

sullynathan is so butthurt over this game's success.

76erz243081d ago

After playing both Rise of the Tomb Raider and Fallout 4 extensively, to my surprise I think Rise of the Tomb Raider is actually the better game imo. This is no slight against Fallout 4 it's a very good game, maybe even great. But Tomb Raider accomplishes absolutely everything it sets out to do with polish and confidence. The gameplay is arguably the best in the adventure genre, the graphics and effects are stunning too. It's biggest accomplishment though is that it still feels like and improves on everything the reboot started while actually managing to differentiate itself from Uncharted in a positive way. Any fan of Uncharted should love this game because it offers a deeper but less story driven alternative. It;'s too bad they had to mar this games reputation with the exclusivity deal.

Satyre283081d ago

Couldnt agree more, tbh Rise of the Tomb Raider is honestly one of the best games ive ever played, if not the greatest. It just is absolutely beautiful, the combat is awesome, the tombs now are a great experience, its just such a damn good game.

averagejoe263081d ago

So you're saying Rise of the Tomb Raider is possibly the best game you've ever played?

Wow

I'm excited to play it if that's the case

76erz243081d ago

I wouldn't go that far as there are some recent games in the genre that were better (Uncharted 2, Maybe Uncharted 3, Dead Space 2, and RE4. But ROTR is for sure up there with these gems and is easily a full on Game of the Year Contender.

iistuii3081d ago

Yep, just finished TR, really really good game. It runs sweet too which is another reason I prefer it.

Savsky3081d ago (Edited 3081d ago )

It is a pretty good game. I'd probably give it a 9/10, and it's not a 10 only for the fact that it didn't truly wow me at any specific part of the game like all of the Uncharted games do.

3081d ago
Livecustoms3081d ago

How can you compare ROTTR and Fallout 4 lol, completely different games !

-Foxtrot3081d ago

Fallout 4 is miles better

Fallout 4 is more true to it's self, even when they swapped direction with Fallout 3 compared to the others they nailed what made Fallout...Fallout.

Tomb Raider had to change so much to stay fresh., relevant and to stand out...it's basically become a new IP.

3081d ago
freshslicepizza3081d ago

how can you say one is better when all you've done is crap all over tomb raider before it even came out and likely never played the new one?

if you already have the mindset you ain't gonna like something before you try it why bother commenting? tomb raider is getting excellent reviews and they made the game popular again after the franchise was beginning to get worse and worse over the years. consumers have also changed over the years which is why games like uncharted are so popular.

-Foxtrot3081d ago

@Salty

Have I ever downplayed the quality of Tomb Raider?

...what was that? No?

Then don't say I crap all over it like I do it in a hurtful way. I crap all over franchises which have become a shadow of their former self's and do this to a lot of titles going down that path

New IPs are better then franchises changing to a point where they don't resemble themselfs at all. Only a few which change actually change for the better Fallout is one of those.

I'm glad its pulling fans back in, but to be frank its time to pull Lara behind the shed and shoot her down. She's been around for nearly two decades (As long as Fallout easily) with far fewer changes to its game play than Fallout 1 & 2 to Fallout 3 & 4. A prettier reboot just doesn't do it for me.

1nsomniac3081d ago

Really too many problems to give it an 8/10. It's not fair to give this game such a free pass. Even though it's only one point a 7/10 would be fairer. I would give it a 6/10 but I'm a lot stricter & more honest than most people.

FPSRUSSIA3081d ago

he said he would of given it a 7 but overall its a 8 ( according to the video of course)

BlackTar1873081d ago

The games great and i'm having minimal issues on ps4.

Actually i have thought of another glitch i had the Map was only giving me options to fast travel but all i had to do was pause and unpause and it fixed it.

The game is awesome and amazing it deserves the 8 and i would give it a 9.

frostypants3081d ago

The main measure of a game is if it is fun. You sound like you rate games based purely on technical merits. That's a shallow and kind of pointless way to go about it.

sullynathan3081d ago

You do know that rating the game purely on how much fun you had is just as if not more shallow?
You wouldn't need to make a long review to tell people "I had fun",if that's the whole point of being a critic or reviewer then they wouldn't make a job out of it nor would they need to make lengthy reviews.

DafunkyRebel3080d ago

The fact is Joe is right this game is trash for taking out the karma system and the shitty dialogues in it are repulsive. The poor engine and terrible bugs and coding is proof that Fallout 3.5 is a cash grab

Nivekki3081d ago

After watching his full review I'd have to say I agree with pretty much all he said. There are faults to be found, no question, but overall I've enjoyed it more than everything else I've played this year.

The dialogue certainly could have been better, there were bugs, but the game is like crack - I couldn't stop playing until I'd had enough. And that's the sign of a great game, when you don't want to put it down.

After I've ploughed through the rest of the game I'll pick it up again in a few months when the modders have made some worthy extras.

Pintheshadows3080d ago

I am going to start a second playthrough this weekend with knowledge I accrued over my first 78 hours.

Some of that knowledge will involve how to make solid electrical infrastructure.

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

GamerRN4h ago

The amount of shade that gets thrown at Microsoft! This is a free next Gen upgrade that bumps up visuals quite a bit, and it's free! Not $10 like some companies...

Jesus, it's getting thick in here...

Valkyrye1d 4h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken1d 3h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

GamerRN11h ago

The mods aren't broken, just modded saves

Michiel198910h ago

MaximusTKG9h ago

My modded save is working fine. Perhaps it’s not a blanket issue.

Inverno1d 1h ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop1d ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Sirch14h ago

This is business 101.

These are massive companies who are here to make money, not please us gamers. They will charge whatever the market will bare, and will monetize everything they can until gamers stop buying.

People need to wake up and smell the capitalism that has come to gaming. They aren’t here for us any more, they are here for their profits.

just_looken4h ago

Thank you inverno it seems even after starfield there are still thousands that will do anything todd says and gives free blowjobs to team B.

Anyone with a working brain and a pc knows the on going war that is modding fallout/skyrim there dam paid mod store along with forced updates has done more harm than good.

For those that are like but update break mods all the time have never modded a unreal/unity game it takes a large update to break those games were as a simple 30-100mb skyrim updates kills the game except those paid mods.

But fallout 76 has a high player count and is considered by many of the new "gamers" a GOAT game so that says it all.

Armaggedon5h ago

Why do we keep bringing starfield into this. Purge the wrongful hate from yourself

just_looken4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Because it still has the same framerate as fallout 3 on a xbox 360 with the same resolution 6 months later we still have only gotten a photo mode and every update there has been killing all mods but a paid mod store is on the horizon.

Fix starfield? na fuck that take this $40 blue skin mod bitch

If you read before the game was live you would see that said before and after official mod support on the way you can make your own planet but like i said 6 months later nothing has been added.

Starfield the biggest budget biggest team but smallest amount of content the most censorship the most control over the community including auto steam review reply with auto delete and exclusive to windows os with the same performance of 2005 hardware.

There are plenty of articles and videos for you to go and be wrathful towards starfield… but this one aint it. This is a fallout 4 article.😂

The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.

A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC

1nsomniac10h ago

My ps4 version boots fine after the update. It flashed up some long message about the ps5 version when I got in to the game menu but as soon as it appeared the message disappeared so I couldn’t read it. But the game loaded in and I was able to play.

Bethesda Looking Into PlayStation Plus Subscribers Not Being Able to Upgrade Fallout 4

Why would anyone downvote this? Don't be silly. This is great news. Thanks for sharing, darthv72.

MWeaver5891d 5h ago

I think it's because the main question for many was whether or not the PlayStation Plus Collection version would support the upgrade. To me it seems obvious the PlayStation Plus Extra version would, though it is nice to see confirmation it will.

That said, Bethesda highlighting the PlayStation Plus Extra version low-key confirms they do not plan on upgrading the other version given to players. Naturally some people are pissed, as even the in-game phrasing says "free for all players."

VenomUK1d 4h ago

@MWeaver589 Exactly this point, it was advertised as free for everyone.

VincentVanBro1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

It’s just a lame solution to the problem, even if it is a solution. The comment shouldn’t be downvoted though.

Christopher1d 3h ago

I mean, it's at least something. It's 'good' news compared to the alternative. Not darth's fault even.

Also, I highly believe this will get fixed. PR nightmare if they don't since the PS store doesn't differentiate/have different text for those with or without the PS+/PS Collection version.

Even though I claimed the PS Plus version, I still have my physical GOTY PS4 edition and was able to get my PS5 upgrade a little earlier today. Physical media FTW lol. Hopefully it won't be too long before the PS Plus owners also get to upgrade their copies.

JackBNimble1d 4h ago

My digital version works just fine , what's your point?

My point is that even though I claimed the digital version via my PS+ Essential sub, I was still able to upgrade to the PS5 version using my PS4 GOTY physical version that I bought years ago. Otherwise I would have had to wait for the fix to be released, however long that will take. Isn’t that what the article was about?

No, you claimed an upgrade that everyone with the physical or digital license can other then ps+ extra .
And what you hold is nothing more then a physical license.

And the article is talking about people with ps+extra who didn't own the game previously to it going on ps+ .

I bought the game years ago to ... digitally, my whole point was to your statement " physical media Ftw" . So what does physical have to do with anything?

Dude, the comment about physical ftw was supposed to be funny. Did you miss the ‘lol’ after it? That was an issue specific to my case and wasn’t meant to be taken as a stance on physical vs digital. The problem with these forums is that everyone takes everything too seriously lol.

FYI I have bought more digital games than physical over the past five years so I’m good with either format.

Should have looked into the 75% deal before the update, but I just assumed I owned it. Thankfully I found the physical disc, ha...

But wait! Listen to the dude who also commented above. You can’t be thankful that you found the physical because you don’t actually own it LOL, and you can’t be thankful that you didn’t have to wait for them to fix the issue with the PS+ version. So what was your point? 🤣😁

I expect this and also no releasing on next ps console. Pretty simple. Please don't be suprise

More like not releasing on next Xbox, all games sell better on ps due to 1 more consoles in the wild, &, 2 ps players buy more games. The fallout games take a long time to make I assume, probably want to make a good profit on that development time

Literally yesterday “Chairman And CEO Microsoft Satya Nadella:

"We committed to meeting players where they are by brining great games to more people on more devices."

They don't need to. They have shill game writers trying to point people to the $35 version...yeah, let that sink in.
