Grand Theft Auto 4 runs faster on Xbox One

There are now well over 300 titles running under Xbox One backward compatibility, but arguably, this trio of releases are some of the most important. Grand…

Oh snap...boost mode. Lol

[MRMagoo123]

yet it runs worse , which is surprising.......unless you didn't read the article of course and just went by the title 🤔

the title should be "grand theft auto 4 runs faster but worse performance on Xbox one"

Impressive when you consider just how poorly gta 4 ran across all systems last gen because of how much of a resource hog it was and now on the xb1 performance is increased purely through software emulation that normally would take a lot more power to brute force better performance/stability through emulation alone

Was I the only one who read the article?

"However, frame-pacing on Xbox One isn't quite right. Where 360 delivers new frames in 16ms and 33ms intervals, Xbox One often tosses in a bunch of 50ms and even 66ms spikes. The end result is that while mathematically, GTA4 runs faster on Xbox One than it does on Xbox 360, the experience is something else entirely. It feels choppier and more uneven, while controller latency - hardly one of the game's strongest points on original hardware - sometimes feels significantly laggier on Xbox One. In certain areas, frame-pacing seems to normalise but by and large, in-game performance seems less stable."

The framerate is up, and that's great, but performance is far from perfect. The frame pacing is worse by-the-numbers than Bloodborne, cutting into controller latency.

Yes, i read it to. Headline is just for clicks. So, game is more stable on X360.

[Major_Glitch]

Wow. So the biggest deal on Xbox One right now is a last gen game that runs poorly? Good job Team Microsoft. *slow clap*

[IndominusRex]

Would the scorpio boost backwards compatible games?

[quent]

On a hardware level its unlikely because it would add to production costs, but from a software/app level they can definitely improve upon it, maybe something along the lines of a in house built from the ground up emulator for xb1 and the win10 store with crossplay support, that would be quite amazing

So did gta v. Particularly driving round corners where the ps4 became stuttery.

The ps4 version had a few more blades of grass though.

[MRMagoo123]

what's the ps4 version of a different game have to do with gta 4 running worse on the Xbox one than on the 360 ? and btw it was a lot more than a few blades of grass as if you didn't know that already.

[MRMagoo123]

@bg

once again what does the ps4 version of anything have to do with the xbone running gta 4 worse than the 360 ?

[zb1ftw777]

It runs faster on the xbox one.

Stop trolling, troll.

[nowitzki2004]

Dont get too excited, this isnt comparing it to PS4. And it actually says that the 360 version plays better lol

"It feels choppier and more uneven, while controller latency - hardly one of the game's strongest points on original hardware - sometimes feels significantly laggier on Xbox One. In certain areas, frame-pacing seems to normalise but by and large, in-game performance seems less stable."

[Jon_Targaryen]

I dunno, the video says the game is a tad worse.

[sin7279]

2 fps moore lol

[Condemnedman]

I'm playing it and it plays fine. they patched it not long after release which made it run and look better

[jokerisalive]

Used to love this game...been so long. Gotta pick it up again and relive the fun of being Nico.

[LoveSpuds]

I loved that game when it came out but the idea that several big sites are having to give this coverage to have some content for XB1 is quite telling I think.
