Fallout 4 Won't Have Performance Problems on PS4, Says Bethesda

I think the cell structure of the ps3 gave them some troubles, considering they were primarily a pc game developer before last gen. I have confidence that with the ps4 being much more aligned with a gaming pc that we will see much less problems this time around. I actually never had many problems with fallout 3 or skyrim on ps3, maybe a crash or two, but they were still two of my favorite games last gen. Hype thrusters at full throttle!!

I'm cautiously optimistic, yet I'm forcing myself to wait till at least a few patches have dropped. It's not like there isn't anything to play for me, and I want to enjoy this game to its fullest.

I'm actually starting to get more worried if it will live up to the expectations, expactations that are sky high not because of the game itself, but due to CD PR raising the bar for these types of games. I realize it's a completely different setting and in the end this aspect is least important, but the first thing I noticed when comparing both is how much better TW3 looks: from what we've seen now I honestly feel TW3 makes FO4 look like a pretty PS3 title.

And then there is the game itself in which TW3 was quite revolutionary. We've never really seen so much depth in quests and side quests and the whole world they build felt so alive. TW3 very much felt like a game of a new generation, as something we didn't and couldn't have experienced before where Fallout 4's showcase felt oddly familiar...but I'm not sure if that's what I want.

I hope it will sweep my off my feet and give me the experience I've been waiting for so long. And even a FO that isn't really adding to the concept of is playing it safe can be wonderful and with the Vita getting the special treatment I'm looking forward to playing it in bed as well!

The way i see it is this, i had bad expericenes on the ps3 but sony has 90% market share so the question is this, will it run well on the xbox one? with so mnay ps4 consoles bethesda obviously have done most of the work on our machines, but can the same be said for the bad selling one?

Bethesda has not earned the benefit of the doubt on PlayStation. I'm just going to assume the game will run like sh*t.

Having not experienced a Bethesda game on Sonys consoles (played them all on 360) I'm really hoping they nail it!
Don't tarnish my expectations Bethesda!

I'm fully expecting a huge day one patch. I'm leaning towards waiting a month or so and see how it goes before buying.

Most games launch with problems nowadays. I guess the possibility of fixing troubles through patches prevent developers from being as careful as in the past about the final product. After all, how many recent games have you played without day one patch?

Fallout 3 New Vegas Ultimate Edition was unplayable after 60 hours, fps drops to Zero and many other problem , the game was awesome but with a lot of problems, worst game ever on ps3

The PS4 doesn't have the memory limitations the PS3 did so fingers crossed. I think I read the issues were caused by all item drops in the game world being loaded into the RAM, which over time filled to the point where the game couldn't run properly. I would be surprised if the PS4 version had serious issues like that but it could be really poorly optimised.

I doubt we'll experience the same issues as we did with the PS3, many of the problems with Fallout 3 and Skyrim were largely because of the PS3 and it's cell count not to mention how it split its ram. The other thing to consider is how late the game has been announced suggesting it was almost ready before telling the world they were making it and it'd be pretty stupid to do so if it had performance issues

I think we should ask how many times you need to patch the game instead.
Expecting day one patch to be couple of gigs in size at least. Still now there will be enough system memory for the game unlike previous games in the series. I wonder if we'll get any avatars and/or themes/backgrounds for the game come launch day...

And ubisoft are the pinnacle of well made games!

@Neolit I dont wanna be an ass but i wont be praising a developer for making a game run like silt even if its big. It just means i will be waiting till they fix it. And its ridiculous that a developer gets praise after make such a piece of garbage on the ps3......

It will obviously have the usual Bethesda bugs that we get with Elder Scrolls and Fallout, but thats to be expected. I have total faith that Fallout 4 will run just as well as it does on the XB1. After all, the PS4 has totally different architecture to its predecessor. The PS4 is basically designed by games developers.

dude YOU GUYS ARE SUCH LIARS.

every fallout game has performance problems, duh

I have zero confidence in this game running well on launch and will wait at least a month for patches. I really dont have that much problem with waiting a bit longer.

"Bethesda's open world titles have a history of bad performance on PlayStation, with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 3 both launching in shamefully shoddy condition on Sony's last-gen console."

Yet, they still received perfect scores. Go figure.

I don't know why people are salivating so much over Fallout 4. Bethesda is a company with atrocious standards when it comes to bugs and glitches - yet, time and time again, they're handed GOTY awards like cheap candy.

If Syndicate has problems and people smash it, but fallout 4 is has problems and people praise it to heavens you will see a very long comment for me. There better not be any hypocricy.

It'll probably run fine.

The divided ram resources was the main issue wasn't it? Well along with the complexity of developing for the cell processor? I think it'll run as well as the other versions. Not that I don't expect a ton of bugs, but the bugs will affect everyone in equal inconvenience.

i have high hopes for this. 30 fps is cool but i hope we also get an option to unlock the fps. i cant wait, this is going to be amazing!

@Kage_88
I dont think they have atrocious standards when it comes to bugs.. Its just that the open-world non-scripted 'total player freedom' nature of their games is difficult to thouroughly bugtest. Witcher 3 had its share of bugs, but CDPR have been pretty militant with their post-launch bugstomping.

@DASchenk love that avatar man!!!!

@wmmbus you're just not doing it right. PS3 can run New Vegas with all the DLC if you do it in the right general order and complete your quests before launching new scripts. A 256mb DDR3 board and card can't keep up with Bethesda's content; try playing it on a PC with matching specs and it'd be worse. Not the game's fault.
OT: but an 8gb DDR5 board and card with 256mb of vRAM can do a heck of a lot more at once! The framerate issues I've had were caused by the coding, not the hardware maxing out or overheating. MGS5 for ex. is loud and hot, and I'm yet to have any problems whatsoever. It's up to the Bethy designers to make it work

@charlesnarles, thx for advice but my prob. was on ps3 why other games run smoothly and just Fallout 3 New Vegas was the worst experience on ps3? because optimization made it by Bethesda was bad , the best option was to get original release without all dlc , btw on pc another "fun" and sorry for my english
