WTF?! The video quality's so bad you can't see much difference between any version.

NuggetsOfGod3797d ago (Edited 3797d ago )

They need to do a frame rate analysis and realise pc should be left out of this..

Unless it's a mid range pc.

kstap333797d ago

If they need to do a frame rate analysis to tell the difference between the platforms, then clearly there is not enough difference to even bother.

lemoncake3797d ago

Why a mid range PC? If you are a regular gamer then over the course of a console gen you will spend more money on a console than if you went out now and bought a high end pc and used it over the same period. When you get a console its like getting a loan with each game charging you 40% more than the pc equivalent, with pc you pay straight up.

Love Dying Light, it's pretty intense. But, I find it weird that the PS4 version has stuttering and noticeable frame drops in areas that are hardly busy or graphically intense ...yet seems to run a solid 30fps in areas packed with NPC's and/or Zombies?

Poorly optimized I think ;/

SeanScythe3797d ago (Edited 3797d ago )

Does your PS4 have an X on it somewhere? Because the only time mine has dipped in framerate is the spot by the power station with the 80+ zombies on screen while playing with 3 friends in coop. And that was because we all started throwing Molotovs at the same time.

MasterCornholio3797d ago

Someone playing the PC version said the same thing. I think its an issue across all systems.

windblowsagain3797d ago

Strange you say that.

This game has already been tested and the XBOXONE version slows down and tears a lot of the time.

marlinfan103797d ago (Edited 3797d ago )

I've had a few instances where you can tell the frames drop in the same types of scenarios you mentioned. Not really a big deal though

@sean

What a joke your reply is. I've seen people on every platform say the same things. no one's trying to trash your precious console

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen3797d ago (Edited 3797d ago )

It isn't the PS4 that has noticeable frame rate drops and screen tearing.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

"Performance compared on both consoles. It's clear that the PS4 version holds the upper hand here, with a much more consistent frame-rate and lower levels of screen-tear."

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

"On PlayStation 4, the frame-rate remains very stable but there are instances where performance jumps momentarily above 30fps, introducing judder. Essentially, in a number of less demanding sections, such as the separate underground quests or when simply looking towards the sky while standing on a high perch, we note plenty of lurches as the *frame-rate jumps over 30fps for just a split-second.* It hurts the fluidity of the experience in these situations and we hope it's addressed in a future patch."

"On Xbox One, tearing appears in conjunction with GPU-taxing elements such as foliage, smoke, and dynamic lighting. Running near an open flame with smoke billowing out or through any foliage-dense fields triggers torn frames that impact fluidity. It crops up more than our initial tests suggested and definitely impacts the overall consistency of the experience. To cut a long story short, we recommend avoiding the Xbox One version of Dying Light if you have trouble getting on with screen-tear."

Mr. Sayed, your videos suck.

Brisco3797d ago

He again. The one and only.

ShottyGibs3796d ago

Seems more like you're trying to convince yourself.

MasterCornholio3796d ago

I dont mind if gamingbolt does comparisons but I agree with you that they really need to improve them. Eurogamer in my opinion is a much better source than them.

Unfortunate that the quality of the video itself is so low you can't tell the difference of the versions themselves.

LifeInNZ3797d ago

Does it really matter though since those with a PS4 will likely get it for the PS4, those with an X1 will likely get it for the X1, etc. The only thing these comparisons seem to serve is:
1. Fuelling fanboy rhetoric.
2. Detrimentally impacting sales by putting people off as "their" version falls short of the others.

What we have and will continue to have this generation is a situation where PC > PS4 > X1. Differences between PS4 and X1 will only be really noticable when you sit them side by side and the djffrences between console and PC versions will get wider and wider.

BallsEye3796d ago

Damn all of you kids for counting the pixels. Because of you we are stuck in last gen with increased resolution. I want better simulation, worlds that are more believable, amazing ai etc. Instead we are going backwards with gameplay (example, oblivion vs skyrim) for the sake of few pixels and effects.

NerdStalker3796d ago

Oh yea if it were Xbox One with the superior resolution bla bla bla it would be a major deal to you. The games can have better ai, better simulation and on Ps4 they can have 1080p so get over it.

kenwonobi3797d ago

Yeah I am not gonna comment one way or the other on which looks better. When it would make me look stupid since you cant tell the difference if the video looks so bad.

ironmonkey3797d ago

pc is pretty bad as well even with high end cards. whenever you look at the safe house building it always gets choppy. same with bf hardline and its micro stutters. any game with a big environment is gonna have problems unless absolutely nothing moves or renders in the background but that would never happen of course.

Looking Back At The $386,000 Dying Light 'My Apocalypse Edition', 10 Years Later

It has been more than ten years since Dying Light was released, but what happened to the $386,000 'My Apocalypse Edition' of the game?

Nobody bought it for an obvious reason.

Gamingsince1981127d ago

Wtf did this edition come with ? A real helicopter and a real zombie virus ?

Vithar127d ago

For one lucky person willing to spend $386,000, the My Apocalypse Edition of Dying Light promised a staggering collection. It included the buyer’s face in the game, a human-sized ‘Volatile’ statue, and parkour lessons with a freerunning team. It also came with night vision goggles, an all-expenses paid round trip to Techland’s offices, and four signed copies of the game. Oh, and it also came with a custom-built, ‘zombie-proof’ survival shelter.

LOL but it was a stunt from the team:
‘It was a PR stunt and got a lot of media attention for its wild and over-the-top nature, it was designed to generate buzz around the game’s release. It did a great job of getting the game noticed, though! But nobody purchased it – thankfully, I guess!’

I finally beat DL2 this past weekend. I’ll pick up the Beast for sure.

got_dam150d ago

It got a lot of shit from fans more not being as scary at night on release. I was in that boat. But once I gave it a fair shot I really loved it. The movement was so much more expressive to me. I enjoyed the story too.... for the most part. Was my game of the year when it came out. With all the updates for darker nights and all that, it's even better. I feel almost exactly the same about stalker 2 right now. The erojank games are scratching my itch.
