Notice how there's no opinion in both the journalist's reports and the OP. No one is saying this shit. They're just reporting on facts.
It's in development still.
You can't say it can't be steady here. Calm down. Save those critics for the finished product
While it's never good news this close to release, Nintendo has a consistent history of great performance in first party games so I'm hopeful.
why should it be fixed? BOTW was a stuttering nightmare in some areas too. will never forget the plateau at release, had instant buyers remorse for the Switch.
cool that fanboys are dismissing reports about conflicting performance as "will surely be fixed by release!" "no way this will have performance issues" i mean everyone can have his opinion but i will believe it when i see it.
lets be real, many games don´t run exactly great on Switch and even Nintendos own games make heavy sacrifices like no AA to run good

Why do people post this kind of stupid shit in so many threads? Get a grip. The responses in this thread have been almost universally reasonable.

Ah that sounds like double buffer vsync.
Right? I've been seeing this shit more often and it never stops being a terrible "argument" to make.
Not to mention in this specific scenario, it's a really weakass attempt at a "gotcha". You can both a) want to see more footage of actual gameplay and b) be critical of said gameplay footage. That's not hypocritical.
So you think an E3 demo is ready for stores? People expectations are just ridiculous. E3 demos are usually several versions behind and if it is not obvious, this is has not gone gold.
Game has a little over two months of development time left, that's more than enough time for polish.
I watched the gameplay demo and didn't think it was that bad but hopefully any issues are just because it's an early build and will be fixed by launch.
It's really sad to see posts like this that are so derisive towards what has been a reasonable discussion and reaction.
I imagine it's using on of Nintendo's inhouse Switch engines. Just re-purposed for this type of game of course. Adapting a 3DS based engine would certainly not be worth the effort.
I played it yesterday and I didn't run into noticeable frame drops. It doesn't feel like 60fps, when running around, but the only thing that stood out to me that I hope they polish up before release is the aliasing around some of the edges that were pretty noticeable for me at points around some characters.
I'm not trying to freak out or anything about it, just seems like the game is coming out really soon and to hear about the demo having issues like 30/60fps outside/inside and being choppy when the trailers looked good just concerned me.
We know Nintendo polishes everything in the final months of development. I wouldn't be surprised that this demo is from an old build and that it will be 6o fps locked at launch.
EAD Tokyo is the one developer that consistently doesn't dissapoint in that regard.

Sure, I know that. I am saying this game doesn't have any reason to have performance issues in general. I am not saying that because it has them now, it will have then in the final release as well.
This post lacks so much perspective it borders on satire.
People had concerns about Odyssey pre launch and by the time it came out it was flawless. Resolution increased, flawless framerate. Besides BoTW which was really pushing hardware boundaries, Nintendo has an amazing track record in this regard. I have absolutely zero concerns
I'll be honest I was operating under "demo is probably a couple months old" and my brain added that towards how long we got to release.

BotW ran poorly on Switch? That really is nonsense.
Zelda 3D games never had a fully stable framerate, its nearly impossible to achieve a stable framerate in a complex Open World game. Anyway BOTW was fluid most of the times, only fluctuated heavy in one special place.
Digital Foundry said Mario Odyssey was almost always 60FPS, only on a very few occasions the framerate was below 60. This was my experience too. Splatoon 2 Plaza is a HUB you barely use in the game, the game itself is always fluid 60 FPS.
Anyway I am sure Awakenings framerate will be stable when the game launches. I feel we have this discussion before every Nintendo game.
Its very noticeable from the streams. But this is a likely months old demo for a game that's still months away, which is where a lot of polish happens.
Its an E3 demo, not even a public demo. The game is not done.
BOTW needed a patch (or two?) to smooth/fix its FPS drops in certain areas.
Yeah, I imagine it'll be optimised before launch. It's doubtful that the E3 build is the game's most recent build also.
looks like it's 30fps, sometimes even less, the entire time when outside, jarring compared to indoors
The framerate seems to be fluctuating between 60 and 15 fps. That's kinda worrisome...
I thought the game was coming out in September? That's 3 months...
Exactly!!!! Everyone in this forum knows this isn't a finished game and people still bitching and complaining. This is why E3 is trash now and no developer shows any real gameplay anymore.
To be fair they were developing in Wii U and Switch and that was really in specific areas.
