Just Cause 3 on Xbox One: sub 20FPS framerate, 900p, 15 minute loading times

Jesus Christ, this might be the worst disparity between a PS4 and Xbox One version of a multiplay that we have yet seen. I would not pick this up on Xbox One if I were you.

Is anyone actually getting this for Xbox?

EDIT: Just to be clear, I know the PS4 version has issues too- right now, it's at least launch Bloodborne levels of bad (frequent framerate drops to sub-20FPS, as well as 2-3 minute loading times). But that doesn't make it this bad- the Xbox One version is outright unplayable, judging by what this video is showing us.

15 minutes? Loading times are bad on Ps4, but not quite like that. Framerate isn't brilliant, either.

Weird, considering Mad Max was about the same on both platforms.

I think the whole "you get Just Cause 2 with the X1 version" just became a lost cause.

15 minutes? That's beyond AC Unity levels of broken.

Just another game that wasn't ready to launch yet, I hear it's bad on Ps4 too. But here, have a 20gb patch lol

Yeah, but the PS4 was the lead platform for Just Cause 3. They literally developed it for the PS4 spec, and then worked their way around the other systems' limitations and requirements.

user reports peg it as terrible on ps4 as well fwiw

Clearly not a system related bunch of problems, memory leaks, crashes, poor frame rate and complete lock ups to boot, they fucked something up bad.

His PlayStation 4 analysis isn't even up yet, so I'm not sure why you're talking about disparity for something that is non-existent and could equally be suffering these same problems.

Man that is terrible. Did they run a test on the PS4 version?

Because we have the PS4 version (as in, the site I am working for does). While the loading times go as high as 2-3 minutes, and the framerate drops during explosions, it is nothing like what has been shown for the Xbox One version- it feels as though they just outright forgot to optimize the game for the Xbox One.

@charizard1605: Aah. Well, xbox is fucked then. Hope they can still improve the framerate and load times on ps4.

Ummmmmm this isn't just an exclusive problem on the X1, it's bad across both platforms so what are you talking about?

Yeah, right now it's launch Bloodborne levels of bad, and that is very bad.

Either way something is fucked up and I'm sure they're going to hear all about it if they already aren't, I'd expect it fixed relatively quickly.

Yeah, this game was not ready to be released....

So they dun goofed then.

I'm not saying the PS4 version doesn't have issues, in two posts right above yours, I call the PS4 version out for being pretty terrible, but it is at least still playable- the Xbox One version, dropping to 17FPS, and having literal 15 minute loading times, is not.

So yes, developer fucked up and didn't optimize, but they didn't optimize the Xbox One version more- it's still the worse version to buy.

@nyadc: Yeah, I think this was rushed- we're looking at something that probably needed another couple of months in the oven before it was ready for release. My assumption is Square rushed it.

This is making me nervous about the PC version now, that's what I bought it on...

Dude your quote makes it seem like the PS4 version is flawless when it's shit on the PS4 as well. How about telling people not to buy the game period until it's patched and fixed across ALL platforms instead of telling people to buy a shit game on the PS4 rather than the Xbox. Your post is misleading and false.

So tired of games being released in an unfinished state. Of course this might be the unfinished version right? Before they ironed out the kinks? Regardless if it is performing badly I hope the reviews reflect it.

That was painful to watch.

Hmm... So going gold weeks ahead of schedule may not have been such a good idea then...

I wholly agree with this, this is pretty misleading and people are having to investigate to bring the PS4 versions problems to light.

Yeah, I added an edit in the OP to make it clear the PS4 version has issues too. Chill.

Well, the thing is, unless this is Arkham Knight levels of broken, a reasonably high specced PC should be able to brute force this. That, plus the modding community will probably fix this up.

Mad Max used the Shadow of Mordor engine, this one uses a new engine from Avalanche.

Perhaps that has something to do with the difference. Mad Max ran like a dream on PC, I wonder how JC3 will run.

I'd edit the whole thread, title and everything to indicate the problems universally, this honestly seems like an Xbox One slight that you're plastering on the face of everything but in fine print saying "oh the PS4 version is fucked too btw"....

So it's annoying on PS4 but broken on X1?

I'm being serious bc I wanted to get this game for the PS4.

If it's just 2 or 3 minutes for loading here and there and stuttering during big explosions....I guess I can deal with it unless the system requirements for PC aren't bad and it's not broken there.

But final thought please: is it X1 15 minute loading time broken bad or not?

LOL I am chill and cool as the other side of the pillow but you know that would be a complete flamebait title, every fanboy in here would have come in on a bus to put their 2 cents in here without even playing the game themselves how much greater the game is on the PS4 when the game runs like shit on both consoles, and I was going to get the game on the PS4 until I heard how bad it runs. Overall a misleading title and post.

It's 2-3 minutes loading times every time you die on PlayStation 4... It's unplayable all the same...

No, the point of the thread is that the Xbox One version is broken beyond being in a playable state. The PS4 version is broken, but it is still playable, if you are willing to put up with some slowdown and loading times. The Xbox One, unless you want to wait for 15 minutes for the game to load, or you like being nauseated by sub 20FPS frame rates, is not. That is the point of the thread, plain and simple, the Xbox One version is fully fucked.

To make it clear that I am aware the PS4 version is broken too, I added the Edit. That's it. The fact of the matter remains, however, that you can still play and even enjoy the PS4 version if you get it. You simply cannot do that with the Xbox One version as it exists right now.

Overall, saying 'but the PS4 version is a little broken too!' does not make the Xbox One version any less unplayable.

Yeah, that's a reasonable way to put it. The loading times are annoying, but if you put up with them in Bloodborne or Witcher, they're not anything new for you. Ditto framerate drops.

The Xbox One version is unplayable.

There should be restrictions on patches so publishers think twice about releasing games in this state.

@charizard1605: I seriously doubt that it's unplayable on the Xbox One. I think the 15 minute loading part is just B.S.

Absolutely- especially since at this point, patches are often becoming larger than base games themselves smh

It's NXGamer, they've been known to make fair and objective analyses in the past. They would have nothing to gain from lying, except for a long term loss of credibility.

SWEEEEEEEEEET MOTHER OF GOOOOOOOOOOD NOT 15 MINUTES LOADING SCREENS!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It all sounds bad, but 15 fucking minutes? Holy shit. Even if this game had the best gameplay of all time that would still be deal breaker for me.

It's probably exactly the same on the PlayStation 4, this is a total jump the gun thread and I've already called it out. He said it suffers from memory leaks and after an hour the whole physics system fucks up and if you need to reload the game it can take up to 15 minute, that's the result of a memory leak.

It sounds like the PlayStation 4 version is suffering the identical problems across the board, there's just not a video yet and I have no doubt that memory leak is present all the same causing the same problems, charizard is just in PS4 defense mode right now.

mad max and just cause 3 use the same in house avalanche engine. the shadow of mordor engine is monoliths own in house engine

Again, the site I work for has the PS4 version.It does not have 15 minute loading times. 2-3 minutes, which is bad, but you can deal with it, the two best games of this year already had loading times as long.

The only one in defense mode at this time is you, since you are outright ignoring things I have said to you, multiple times, to make a false point.

I see, I don't know where I got that from then :/

So you've played the game for over an hour in a single stretch and then reloaded it?

@nyadc: Well regardless, I don't think anyone should support this game if it's running this bad on consoles.

So it's pretty easy to say as a consumer: Why should I get a game day one when I can just wait and get a patched up game for way cheaper ?

Or go the not so easy route and try and force developers/publishers to limit number of patches.

I get the idea behind your thoughts. But I actually think a game getting patched hundreds of times is better than a game being left in the dirt after but a few patches (see Valve games for example vs Batman Arkham Knight).

Limiting number of patches won't fix anything, on the contrary.

@charizard1605: 15 what now? Thats "Screwed up Fallout 3 PS3 save" levels of horror and then some. Sweet Jebus!

I edited the post above, I typed too fast.

Anyway, I helped write our review and technical analysis, and I know it doesn't have issues this bad, because yes, I had it written. There is a difference between 3 minute loading screens and 15 minute ones- one is five times as long as the other.

Agreed, it's a shit sandwich across the board and Charizard is rationalizing it... It's fucked all around.

LOL whatever dude, your logic and thought process makes no sense to tell people to buy a broken game on 1 console rather than the other one. The game is shit but on the PS4 it's shiny shit and the X1 it's dull shit so buy the shiny shit instead, it's both shit so why buy it. The more logically thing to tell people is the game is broken across all platforms so you should wait to buy the game until the developers get off their asses and fix the game so EVERYONE who wants to play it gets the good, flawless version of the game, period. All your title does is bring in fanboys and trolls that want to turn this into a flamebait post.

You work for a gaming website so why not speak the true and look out for the gamers and tell the full truth about ALL versions of the game, that's why I don't listen to game reviewers like that anymore cause of things like this, tell gamers not to buy broken games, PERIOD.

It says the three minute load times are when you die and wait to respawn, he clearly said the memory leak compounds after more than an hour and if you need to reload the game you can be hit with loading times of up to 15 minutes, those are not the same situations, which is exactly why I asked... Have you played the game in excess of an hour straight and then reloaded it?

He's rationalizing for the PlayStation 4 and smearing the Xbox One through the shit for the same fucked up problems, it's ridiculous.
