[TimeEffect]

Darn, thought this was new info on a release date

 

[Give War A Chance]

Worst trend in gaming, currently. But I'd rather them at least patch it late than patch it never.

 

[darkwing]

but will they re-review the game after the patch?

 

[Ethelwulf]

How bad is it?

Let's say that it can get more solid.

 

[Broadbandito]

any improvement over this already incredible game is welcome. Only can go up from here!

 

[Kelegacy]

Let us toggle chromatic aberration please!!!

This is in the game? WTF. I hate CA with a passion. I bought it on PSN this morning because I can't get over to BB to pick up my copy until later in the week. Grr, now I wish I had it on disc so I could trade it in if I hate that effect. I refused to buy Lords of the Fallen until it was patched to toggle off.

Ah well, hopefully it isn't too severe and I won't notice...much.

 

[flatearthpandas]

Shorter load times would be appreciated. Can't say I've noticed the frame issues apart from occasional slowdown.

 

[Majanew]

Generally agreed, but in this case long load times are such a miniscule issue, I have no problem buying the game now.

Load times, I agree with. While annoying if too long, it hasn't stopped me from other games. Frame-rate problems (frame pacing, frame drops, frame spikes) drive me nuts.

 

[AmuroChan]

This is the annoying thing. First dayers pay the most for a worse off experience.

That's the inherent risk for early adopters of any product. What you're paying for is to be the first to experience it. Any game you buy on day 1 nowadays is basically the worst version you're ever going to get for that game.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

you casuls, if you cant afford a SSD just git good and stop dying

Thanks for that useless comment.
An SSD will fix the framepacing right up!

sorry for the bad joke then

[DirgeExtinction]

At least we now have the ability to have games patched and fixed, unlike the pre-PS3 era. It's not like games back then released in a perfect state.

It's as bad as it was in Lords of the Fallen pre patch.


Upper left tree is covered in it.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Just another example of why it's best to wait a few months after a game releases. Devs will fix their games and you can find it at a better price.

Well in the case of BF4, I agree with you. Not for something like this, I'd prefer to play this game at 97% done day 1.

 

[antibolo]

Anybody got any screenshots that show off the chromatic aberration?

EDIT: nvm, two posts above

 

[lyrick]

Is now the right time to mention that the Valkyrie scene in Too Human was shorter than the Bloodborn post death load screen?

 

[Valnen]

The game desperately needs a framerate patch. The game is fun as all hell and easily the best game on PS4 right now, but it's painful to see it stutter.

 

[Slowdive]

Great news.

 

[SerTapTap]

Let us toggle chromatic aberration please!!!

Wait...how is chromatic aberration even in the game? Doesn't seem to fit the aesthetic...

 

[Averon]

I was going to buy BB at launch, but the Collector's Edition Strategy Guide was delayed until mid-April, and I just decided to wait until then. Looks like that delay may have been a blessing in disguise.

 

[Gammacide]

If it plays like Blighttown then there is a problem. If, when I roll through a lot of breakable furniture, it stutters, this is par for the course. It didn't make me enjoy Demon's Souls any less. Of course, ideally there won't be any technical issues so it is good they are trying to address them. I'd rather have them aim for the stars with their design than let it be tailored and made less grand by technical boundaries.

 

[Isomac]

It's as bad as it was in Lords of the Fallen pre patch.

Oh, that is disappointing. Why developers? The whole image looks terrible. I always feel like I don't have my glasses on when I see this effect. It's really tiring to look at too.

It isnt framedrops like blighttown. Its a constant stutter because the engine isnt putting out all the frames in the right order.

The framerate isnt dropping (mostly) it just feels like it is.

[epmode]

The chromatic aberration is terrible, GAF. It's right there with the persistent framerate wonkiness.

I really dig the game so it's especially jarring. I never suspected that From would bother with CA considering that it only exists to make your game look like it was filmed with a shitty lens.

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

From probably didn't have the engine muscle to be able to iron out everything in house. Game launched and people noticed, Sony sends staff to clean it up a bit?

 

[JaggedSac]

lol

 

[Timeaisis]

Sounds like they are exploring it. Hopefully it is fixed.

 

[BouncyFrag]

I pre-ordered that on Amazon expecting to get it today, but missed that it had been delayed.

 

[Kandrick]

Have the game installed, but resisting the urge to play.

I can live with long loadings, but the frame pacing is terrible.

 

[Sidewinder]

Hope they fix it before I get my copy in the mail next week.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

Heh, love it.

I held off because Axiom Verge is right around the corner. The patch makes holding off a bit easier.

 

[Majanew]

What am I looking for here?

Look at the trees. The red and blue lines around the limbs is CA.

I'm not fond of CA, but I'll take it over aliasing if that's the trade-off.

[megalowho]

Hah! Nice comparison.

The load times are really bad.. not so bad that it makes me want to stop playing, but I can absolutely see it turning off new players when so much of the game is dying and trying again. It hurts the flow of the game.

 

[comatsu]

How bad is it?

I just got the game and timed it. Still in the first part of the game (if that makes any difference) - 43 seconds from "You are dead" sign to being able to play again.

Way too long.

 

[eot]

What am I looking for here?

Look slightly above his head, and then trace right at that same height. You'll see that the colours completely separate along some edges of the geometry. It's an intentional effect!

 

[M3Freak]

props to fromsoft!

Why? None of the current problems should have been in the shipped product in the first place!

Day 1 patching should be banned.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Can't play till Sunday anyhow, hopefully the patch will be around that time

Impossible.

 

[eot]

That might be the most overdone CA I've ever seen.

 

[tintin1029]

Thank goodness.

The Load times are my only major gripe with the game at this point. Otherwise, it's amazing.

 

[Aeana]

I was hoping that the load times wouldn't bother me, but they really do. I hope it isn't too long of a wait.

 

[ShogunX]

What am I looking for here?

Here we go. Blue and Red is CA.

 

[Buburibon]

Hope they fix the frametimes too.

hopefully fixes frame-pacing issues

Hopefully the frame pacing is a higher priority. Much bigger issue for me.

Except it is.

The broken frametiming makes the game seem like it is constantly stuttering.
It is a bug. A very annoying bug.

Yes, frame times need to be improved if I'm ever to play (and enjoy) Bloodborne for more than 20-30min at a time. I don't know what it is about uneven frame times and eye fatigue accompanied by a slight headache, but I definitely felt it last night.

Here's hoping they'll manage to sort it out soon.

I had read a lot about her back then, but only now did I watch the full animation on youtube, because of the comments on Bloodborne loading... it's barely 15 seconds actually, it's not that much.

 

[Karsticles]

I honestly can't find that to be meaningful. It could not be there, and I wouldn't notice a difference. :/

I hope it gets added as a toggle for those who don't like it though.

 

[SerTapTap]

It's as bad as it was in Lords of the Fallen pre patch.

Dear god...but why? Why. I'll just play my game through my cell phone camera if I want the experience of looking through a shitty camera.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

It's amazing how much shit the game got for it, when it was right around the same time as every other game to go from game over to playing again.

 

[vpance]

Looks like the CA gets more extreme to the sides of the view.

 

[cgcg]

Priority #1: Remove the shitty CA thank you.
