Call of Duty: Ghosts PS4 faces frame-rate complaints

[Jazzy]

Reviews of the latest Call of Duty video game have reported problems with the graphics on the PlayStation 4 edition of the title.

Testers said that its frame rate dropped at several points during the game causing a stutter-effect.

The PS4 version of CoD: Ghosts is the only console edition that renders its images in 1080p high definition. The Xbox One and Wii U versions create less processor-intensive 720p resolutions.

Publisher Activision has not commented.

Although the PS4 version of the game is already on sale, Sony's console itself will not be released until 15 November in North America and 29 November in Europe.

That potentially gives Activision time to release a software patch if the issue can be fixed.

"One of the key pillars of Call of Duty has been 60 frames per second... and ensuring that was of utmost importance, and the resolutions that appear are geared around that," said Mark Rubin.

Elsewhere he suggested that the different way the new consoles handled memory had contributed to a decision to support 1080p graphics on Sony's machine but not Microsoft's.

However, some reviews have suggested the PS4 version does not maintain a consistent frame rate as desired.

Are any of you planning on buying the PS4 version of CoD: Ghosts?

Nope.

Interesting that they're going for 1080p though, seems like that should've been done two years ago.

Nahh, I'm planning on getting a PS4 eventually but I'm not buying COD. It has like 3 hours of single player gameplay.
