Just Cause 3, for all of its fun, free-form chaos, runs like garbage on a standard PlayStation 4. Even with no action on screen, the game still loves to drop frames, resulting in an especially shoddy experience. Given its particularly poor performance, many have been wondering whether the PS4 Pro's Boost Mode can help the title finally reach an acceptable frame rate, and thankfully, Digital Foundry is here once again to provide us with answers.
Unfortunately, it's not exactly a happy ending for Rico and his ridiculous sprees of destruction. Although Boost Mode does improve the frame rate overall, it's unable to keep it locked to a steady 30 frames per second, and we still see rather large dips during busy scenarios. It's definitely better, but it's still far from being perfect.
As the publication notes, though, this is probably the best that Just Cause 3 is going to run on PS4 without a specific Pro patch. Sadly, the chances of us ever seeing one seem pretty slim.

I'm not saying my temporary ban for vulgar language wasn't valid. It was.
It's just funny, now.
There are some dramatic improvements to frame rates at certain points of the game with boost mode in that video, not perfect but it's much more playable now.

This means they brought a broken game ons the market. Even with the massive performance boost it run bad.
Hence why it's always on sale in the PSN store. Other gamers have said though that the frame rate is drastically better with boost mode enabled. To be honest it wasn't exactly much better on PC.
Easily the funniest headline Ive seen to date 😂
i had no issue with JC3. Play the game thru when it was released. Nothing so bad as to break the game in the slightest. Actually I really enjoyed playing thru it. Some ppl imho expect far too much from any game these days.
JC3 was a big disappointment when i rented it. I found the frame rates ok and the game looks great with great colors and draw distance. The fields of sunflowers are stunning and blowing up stuff looks awesome.
However all of that is ruined by heavy motion blur. Also the low ammo carry limit is stupid, stupid, stupid. So i don't want it even for only 1 dollar.
I wanted this but was put off my the reports I heard about the graphical issues but also the slow load times that have been improved but not resolved with subsequent patches. Anyone else found that?
Let's not go there thanks. -Tasuki-
Not the same because of adding an "e" after the "t" ? So that will work with other curse words? No because it does not work as used in the title here. That is because those that say it really mean the word without the "e" added and pronounced differently.
I am now temporarily banned from reading articles by Robert Ramsey.
The game was a massive disappointment I may go back and actually complete the game but that's if I don't have anything to play.
