No the performance on ps3 is just that bad that it's never above 20fps :(


I refuse to believe that. How do you explain how the action packed 2nd segment of the demo almost always running at 30 FPS? There is no way that it's always 20 FPS...

I'll reserve my judgement until it actually comes out. Because I'm tired of hearing different stories.

In the demo though there were a lot of cutscenes that were basically locked at 20 FPS. What I want to know is that if there are framerate drops will it just come off as a short term slowdown, or is it locked at a low frame-rate for longer periods of time? Almost every console game I've played has some slowdown even when the game is supposedly capped at 30 FPS.


hey where are now all the awesome "cool guys" who where shouting :

"it is JUST a DEMO!"

yadda yadda yadda...

yeah, where are you guys now??

Anyways the game doesnt have film grain either, and really I am wondering why would Bioware remove a feature that not only was there as an option in all Mass Effect games, it was also "on" by default!! So all these years they had no problems with film grain, NOW they have one? In ME3? Really I dont get the logic behind that.

This is poor. I am still waiting for Bioware to comment on those performance issues etc etc...

What can they do honestly. These performance issues can't be patched up. They have to rewrite the code to optimize it. And by the time they roll out a patch, millions would have already beat the game and suffered through these framerate issues.

All I'm hoping for now is that these issues aren't as prevalent after the first part of the game, as that can affect long term replay value.

Really ?

First they could, no, they should optimize the game for ps3. We pay the same and deserve the same !

Just stop defending bioware.... You see this is why we are treated like this...

On the 360 you have to constantlt swap discs, up to every 20-30 minutrs which sounds like a real immersion breaker.

Framerate issues in the beginning of a ame or disc swapping for the whole game?

Pick your poison.

And I dont think you CAN defend B-ware here, there perfectly capable of making good vesion of there games on the PS3. DA2 and DA:O scored higher and were better on the PS3 than on the 360.

exactly.

Tolerance is where the problem lies. Our tolerance and our tendency to find excuses to defend Bioware.

What can they do? They can fix it. If it means rewriting and optiming the code, then that is what they have to do if they value their customers equally.

That or they could reduce the PS3 price tag. Easiest fix, but it will hurt their pockets. So it pretty much is out of the question. But if we are tolerant and we are trying to defend them, then they have no reason, not only to do nothing to improve the PS3 version, but at the same time do nothing in future games.

If they know that we are going to buy an inferior version for the same price and at the same time try to defend them for any problems our versions have, then they have absolutely no reason whatsoever to ever treat us equally.

Do you guys think that buying the PSN edition will help with the framerate???.
Generally I preffer buying games with the box, and manual and all that. But for example on Xbox, installing the game to the HDD can, sometimes, help a lot with framerate issues. But on the other hand, the Demo was also running from the HDD and still run like ****.


harryandgem wrote...

if you look at digital foundrys analasis you will see that the 2nd segment of the demo had major frame drops aswell, so this idea that the problems are only prevelant at the begiining of the game are quite cleary wrong.


Yes, but not nearly as bad as the first part which is locked at 20fps (and then drops some more in other parts)

Excuse me for not being over-dramatic. I don't see 360 owners threatening to boycott Bioware because of multiple disc swapping they have to deal with (which breaks immersion, more than some drops in frame-rate here and there).

Unless all those frame-rate issues were caused by scripting errors or something not necessarily related to hardware limitations, they're not going to simply fix it with a patch. They'll fix some of the minor issues but overall, we get what we get. You don't have to buy the game if you don't to. They've heard our concerns and they've replied with "we're aware of this issue and we're looking into it."

So now we either have to accept the issues or forget the game altogether. I personally think it's not a big deal, but I understand and respect the fact that others have different tolerance levels when it comes to these issues.

for all you guys and gals who have no choice but to buy it on ps3 do me a favour, start youre ps3 go to settings and adjust youre resolution to 576p [trust me it still looks ok] this definatley improves frame rate and cutscenes, i do this on a lot of games, borderlands and assassins creed, the frame rate improves because its only rendering in 576p, id be interested to see what difference you think it makes, there is a downside and that is the jaggies are slightly more noticeable.

this is for all those people who are buying it regardless of issues, and you dont have to be so negative all the time, i really dont care what set up you have, most on here will be buying the game [you are quite clearly not which begs the question why do you still come here?] reduction of resolution= better performance and dont knock it to you try it, the game still looks good and i have a 46inch lcd tv.

Simply setting it to standard definition does not clear up the frame-rate issues. The game still renders at 720p and downscales it to (in your case) 576p. They don't have separate SD and HD modes. The frame-rate is the same regardless of which TV you have and what resolution you set it to.

Why am I here? Because I love Mass Effect. The fact that I do not tolerate everything they throw at me and that I do not simply bend over and take it, doesnt mean I have no place here. In fact I am the perfect example of the kind of consumer this gen needs. I am the kind of consumer that -of course with many others- were able to demand and finally fix Skyrim for PS3. If it was for you guys, we would still be playing Skyrim with 1-2 frames per second.

Dont tell me I have no place here.... what is your place here then? You clearly dont think its a big deal and you actually are fine with the issue at hand. So what exactly are YOU doing here? This is a place to express technical issues with the game. Obviously when you have a technical issue, you are not the happiest guy out there and you obviously are not coming here to just say "you know what, this is the problem, but hey... its fine, I dont mind it..." what would be the point of that??

nowhere in this board section does it state "PS3 technical support but only for those who have bought the game"... I am here because I am trying for this issue to be fixed. I love Mass Effect and I love Bioware, but the way they treat ps3 version is wrong. I am a consumer and I want them to know that I am willing to buy their games, but at the same time I want equal treatment.

Maybe I can -with the help of others- fix some of the issues that ME3 has on PS3. Maybe I wont. Sure thing is I am going to try for the best. You on the other hand my friend, dont seem to have anything other to say than "its not a big deal". Ok then, please go enjoy the game and let us "haters" and "whiners" try to make the game better. Like we did with Skyrim.

100% real. And dont get me about burn ins etc etc... that is past decade stuff. The TV is outstanding. So much that I returned my Samsung LED d8000 (which was an unbelievable mess concerning  screen uniformity with clouding and banding issues all over the place) to get the Panasonic VT30.

What I got with such a TV?

- Much better picture quality
- Excellent screen uniformity
- Perfect Darks
- Much better response time (ms) than most LCDs and LED TVs out there.

Check the reviews for yourself. I used to think LCD is the way to go, but after getting the plasma I am never going back to that crap.

Burn ins are things of the past. Unless you are stupid you will never have any issues, in fact the new plasma tvs have a number of features that prevent burn in.

ok first ive never played skyrim, and 2nd all i have read from you is intolerance of other peoples opinion, i am not the reason the ps3 game is substandard, the ps3 is the reason for that, i am offering a very minor fix to a problem that is not going to be patched, the issues on me2 on ps3 have nether been fixed either, you are plain rude and really have no place in belitteling my advice, thats what this forum is for, if you dont want to try the fix fine move on, but how dare you come on here and ask if im serious when you have done nothing constructive in the past 15 days, i will not be replying to anything further from you, but i will leave you with this, as far as i know only a handfull of multiplats are= this gen, maybe bioware just couldnt get the game running as fast as 360, well what to do, moan to know avail or at least try and be constructive.

You ask me how I dare to tell you that I didnt spent a lot of money to play games in 576p in the year 2012....as if that is irrational...we are in 2012... even 720p is considered substandard by now...and you tell me to play the game in 576p...well i could also play it on a CRT!

So on the one hand you judge me for that comment, but on the other hand it is perfectly fine to tell me yourself that i have no place here on this board...

On the other hand, your "fix" doesnt fix anything anyway, as pointed by other members of this board. I didnt want to repeat myself hence I didnt tell you anything. Ps3 renders the game at 720p. It doesnt matter what resolution you force the game to play in, the game will be rendered at 720p. It will just upscale or downscale. Performance wont change.

I value everyone's opinion, just because my opinion reeks of "negativity" doesnt mean I dont value your opinion. And I consider myself "realistic" not negative.

"unrealistic" is your opinion (but i respect it) when you claim that the reason ME3 is substandard on PS3 is nobody else fault but the PS3's... removing all responsibility from Bioware. That, I will never agree with... you can call me "negative", I call myself "realistic". PS3 is not creating itself ME3, Bioware is. If they cant make the game run on a system that has produced far more impress looking titles (arguably the best console looking ones this gen) , then it is their fault.

youre wrong reducing resolution improves performance, i ask anyone to try any game on ps3 with issues such as screen tear and frame drops and you will see improvement, the game renders at the resolution that you set,  if you value my opinion then fine i appologise but it certainly did not seem that way to me, again try any game you have serious issues with on ps3 at that res and you will see a difference [if you have the assassins creed games the difference really is unreal] it does not work for all games but i have tried the demo in 576p and it runs smoother not perfect but a little better, and anyway the one thing i an sure of with games this gen is that we have had to comprimise, how many really well performing games do you have?, me uncharted and killzone, deadspace, there are issues with virtually every other game i have, i mean there is a reason why alan wake renders at such low resolution, this gen is all about comprimises, again if you were not meaning to be rude i appologise. but this fix has worked for me on many games.

Il agree, its not the PS3s fault, its Biowares. I think its been proved that if the PS3 will run games better than the 360 of developers use it correctly.

So basically the choices are... XBOX360, where you have to swap disks, PS3 with a subpar framerate, or the PC which is a mediocre console port and requires the Origin client. Ugh. Also, no excuse for the framerate issues. Many UE3 games on the PS3 (such as Batman Arkham City which runs flawlessly) have amazing framerates and a better use of the UE3 graphics engine than what we saw in the demo here. I'm not sure what's going on, but you can't just say, "well the PS3 is hard to code for," because the UE3 has been tried and tested. I played the ME2 demo on my PS3 and it played fine, as well, and looked better regarding anti-aliasing. Rage plays at 60 FPS on my PS3 and looks incredible. Red Dead Redemption looks incredible and almost never has slowdowns, ever. And those are all MULTIPLATS.

There's no excuse for this, and a patch should be released. Even Skyrim now plays as well as Oblivion ever did on my much more powerful PC, since those games always have some minor minor lag as the environment loads. No excuse for this, I expect it to either a) not be present in the real game or B) to be fixed via a patch. Anything else is unacceptable to this customer.

goggle a face of with any of those games you mention even the arkham games and you will see they played and performed better on 360, rage has awfull pop in and red deads native resolution is 20% less than 360, im not saying they dont look good on ps3 but they certainly look better on 360 [ i own both and def prefer my ps3]

And let me just reiterate - this is FIXABLE, period. Compare other games with better graphics and other games with the SAME ENGINE on the PS3. No excuses, it's fixable, and it WILL be fixed, or there's reason for legit concern and customer dissatisfaction. Look at Batman Arkham City on the PS3, look at everything going on there visually, look at the amazingly smooth framerate. Look at the ME2 demo, look at the sharpness of the graphics, and the much smoother framerate than the ME3 demo. Also, the ME3 demo for me played fine for the actual gameplay, it was the cinematics that felt like they were at a terrible 15 FPS. Whatever is going wrong, there's a fix, and it shouldn't require some groundup recoding, just as the Skyrim 1.04 patch really completely fixed any and all lag issues for me on Skyrim. There's a fix for this, don't let anyone tell you differently.

Also, according to the IGN review, the actual game runs this way, but it does get better over time. I'm hoping for a day one patch.
