That's like a baker presenting a new cake prototype that tastes horribly and he explaines it was only supposed to showcase the color and texture.

but the cake actually doesn't taste horrible, it's just a bit dry and lacks impact in flavor

exactly

3 months from now. But what tells you that the process hasn't already started a while ago?

Episode Duscae is much more fleshed out than the "Platinum Demo" and it runs much better, even if it does have some small issues. So I don't think anyone should take the performance of the new demo at face value.

It still is the most recent demo so it should represent the latest build. Why would they use an older build for a new demo. For all we know the latest build runs like this the entire time and that's not remotely impressive. Well we shall see September the 30th, but I think the performance off this game might not be a smooth 30fps experience which should be the bare minimum.

The Demo is a bit of story that isn't included in the final game afaik, so it's possible that they developed it whenever they had time to and didn't improve it because they know that it's just a demo so they won't get any revenue from it...

- Dynamic resolution on both consoles.

- PS4 runs at 900p most of the time, 1080p in some less-demanding scenes, and 1568x882 at lowest.

- X1 runs at 792p most of the time, 1568x882 at best, and 1360x768 at lowest.

- Both have significant drops below 30fps, with X1 suffering more heavily, and both consoles hitting around 15fps during the demo's final boss.

Hopefully some very extensive optimization takes place before its release.

no, hopefully a stronger PS4 comes out, and people say PS4K isnt needed lel

Unacceptable garbage that's what I would call it. It has been development for 10 freaking years and framerate drops to 15 fps is downright terrible.

Platinum Demo, isn't a commum Demo, is a Demo  that does not is a part of the game, they took elements of the game, and made the Demo, so this does not means that the Game is optimized this way, Episode Duscae, was the Game's True Stage of performance, Platinum, is like a Mini Spin-off.

and episode Duscae had even worse performance, i played it some months ago

Jesus Christ. Gamers and their exaggerations. It's like some people's scale goes: amazing, great, shit. There's decent, mediocre, ok, acceptable, could be better, etc. But no!!! If it ain't perfect it's garbage.

No one is saying its garbage. But it is definitely concerning.

Oh. 

 

OT: Isn't this essentially unused Alpha assets being thrown together by a small side team purely to put out a demo? That explains away most of the issues just fine, it's not like this is taken straight from the final build. 



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!

Are people really this fussy and mardy about their games that stupid petty details like resolution make the difference for them? Honestly I'm glad I'm not that fussy about the games I play, the demo was a pleasant play for me, just a little experience with the game and I'm really looking forward to it now, the characters, story and world all seem interesting and I can't wait to get stuck into it. If it drops to 900p or Lower I probably won't even notice and it definitely won't faze me in the slightest.

We don't need a PS4K, we need a PS5, just need to wait a little long with this, FF, aways was a Tech Showcase for the console it was on, was this with FF 7, 10, 13, and so on, they aways had thos challenges, their Team does not need a Stronger Hardware, this is just a Demo, that isn't a part of the game.

 

PS4K, is just a Rumor and will not came out, because would be a stupid move from Sony, and they know that, their Stupidness's level already reached the Maximum when they launched PS3, for 600US$, this will not happen again.

I kinda hope the ps4k is real just to see your reaction.  You are SOOOOOO upset over nothing.

yeah great so i can rebuy Final Fantasy XV the remastered version for 60€ again on PS5.

 

PS4K isnt a rumor, Sony isnt saying anything about it and let all these sites spreading information. If it would be just a rumor they would have come out and denied it
