GearNuke: "Check out these lovely screenshots of Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor taken directly from the PS4. The game will also run at an unlocked frame rate according to early reports."
I totally agree. I hate framerates that jump around. Give me a solid 30fps that has consistent frame times over a variable 40 to 60fps any day. Hopefully they offer the option to cap it at 30fps for a smoother, more consistent framerate.
That doesn't really bother me unless the frame rate drops into the teens so I'll probably get the PS4 version. I said probably because I dont know if I should get Aliens Isolation or this game.
As long as vsync is handled properly it will be fine. That's days adaptive vsync combined with triple buffering are much better solutions than locking at 30 fps. Just look at how smooth call of duty plays, it's not locked down on previous gen consoles and has frame rate fluctuations.
I would take 60 unlocked over 30 locked any day. I prefer my games to run as fast as they can. If it runs at 60 most of the time with some dips on occasion into the 50's some of you would prefer they lock it at 30? You must be high.
I honestly don't think this games visuals are anything impressive, but if it is scoring as high as it is I'm picking it up, I was expecting anywhere from 6/10-8/10 on this one, great news it is even better. Glad I traded in Destiny for $40, I'll be scoring this and Forza for only $36+tax out of pocket. Sweet fall lineup on the Xbox One all starting Tuesday.
I play on PC and use Fraps (soft that shows FPS). As long as its above 30fps, games always feel fluid and it doesnt matter if its jumping between 30 and 60.
next gen character model, last gen environment. huh not impressed. the environments look like sh!t. i love the textures on the orcs though never seen texture that detailed before. everything else is avg or blow. but the game do look fun, not sure if i want to buy tho.
every character model is well textured/shaded, not just the orcs.. and the environments actually look well done too, shrubs/grass look pretty well textured... atleast judging the ps4 version
Yeah the lighting looks pretty bland. There doesn't look to be any self shadowing or AO. That is the price you pay for 60 FPS. That framerate is demanding so something had to go. Hardware, especially console hardware is not infinite.
I would have rather had 30 FPS but better environments.
Same here but I only became interested when there were a lot of good reviews. Interesting how there was almost no hype surrounding it but after the reviews came, it's talked about in every gaming site
Why in the world would ANYONE who can think for themselves, wait for someone else's opinion, good or bad, before deciding how to spend their money?
Plenty of YouTube vids and other footage to decide for yourself if capable to do so. Its downright idiotic in today's world to rely on the written word of "gaming journalist".
Don't know why in the world you are trying to imply reviews are necessary for games to become successful. They aren't, and more and more know it.
"A little inconsistent. For every stunning vista, there's the occasional lack of character detail and on Xbox One, even the odd instance of texture pop-in. Shadow of Mordor could look better."
Unfortunately, the guys who did this review only got the Xbox One version apparently, so there literally are no side by side comparisons to speak of at this time. Also, the XboxAchievements site doesn't detail anything in regards to resolution or framerate so its hard to compare it to the one technical gripe we have heard about slowdown on the PS4 during "mental dominations".
We will have to wait for DF or a random YouTube upload.
Why they cant lock it? TRDE and MSS, SE3 was not locked as well. Hope it not tears. It is very annoying the fps dips from 60 to 40s or 30s suddenly. You can clearly see the stuttering when it dips. Lock 30fps is much better than unlocked fps levels at least the stuttering is not being an annoying factor.
It can happens when you are engaging a fight but even then 60-40 frame dip is not a big deal. Besides you don't even own a ps4 so why are you talking? Besides that in the actual article I don't even see them mention that it is locked or unlocked 60fps, its just the title and ign saying it. Ign aren't even making a big deal out of it, its xbox fanboys like you that do.
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor was confirmed to be running at 1080p and 60 fps on the PS4, but does the frame rate hold stable 60 fps for the most part? According to the impressions from the reviews, this doesn’t appear to the case. The frame rate does appear to be 60 fps but it is also fluctuating. IGN’s reviewer confirmed that the game is 60 fps, but it is not constant 60 fps.
Funny that I accused your OTHER account of being a misterx worshiper earlier, and now on this account you are randomly bringing up you saying that you aren't.. So subtle man.
Never go undercover for an actual job bro, seriously.
Should be banned. Moderators need to sort it out, 2nd accounts all over the place.
What a joke. You are only here to "point out the lies" when it is done to downplay Sony or the PS4.
The lies Microsoft has told with their games or the past 18 months regarding the marketing of their console were no issue to you. That evidence is damning enough to know that no-one needs take what you say seriously ever again.
I can't think of anyone claiming it was locked, but okay...
If a game has fluctuating frame rates, do you advertise its peaks or valleys? The high end or low end rates? I would say they calculated the mean frame rate and rounded either down to 30fps or up to 60fps. The general consensus is it runs at 60fps the vast majority of the time.
Well I have an Asus R9 290X which has 4GB of VRAM so I'm sure I'll be able to run it on high it's just whether that looks better than the PS4 version or not.
yeah this kinda proves my thoughts about the game and the development. i need 6gb to max at 1080p but some how ps4 is at 60fps. even though i know ps4 is most likely running on high with med textures it just rub me the wrong way a game that doest look demanding.
i want to see how this plays on the new 900s card. oh well wasnt sure if i was going to get it before, ill wait and see. when a pc dev turn its back and focus on console more than the community that supported them and got them to where they are today, thats when i turn my back on them. like i said ill wait and see
Can't wait to play this game, minion killing spree is in order on Tuesday . As for the point in the article blah blah blah enough already give it rest you cheerleaders we get it now move on.
Just because its unlocked, doesn't mean its going to run at 60fps most of the time. For all you know, it could be 30fps most of the time unless you look directly up at the sky.
See? This just basically confirms that the sleeping dogs remaster being 1080p and 30fps on ps4 is just a lazy optimization and a fast cash grab but I got all but disagrees from a bunch of pc guys. If this game runs 1080p and 60fps why couldny an open world game from last gen?
1080p 60 fps unlocked = delicious!! nom nom nom.
Can't wait to get this game, Delsim and Nathan can't go wrong with that combination! :D
damnzz that atmosphere!!!

Can't wait to play this game.
