The game will run at 1080p/60fps on the PS4, 720p/30fps on PS3 and native resolution on Vita in 30fps.

As for how the DualShock 4′s touchpad will be integrated into the gameplay, Pilestedt stated that, On the Vita we will use touch-interface for certain commands, with the PS4 the touch pad will as of now only use the click-down functionality. At Arrowhead were pretty stubborn about using tech just for the sake of using tech we believe that each feature that goes into the game needs to use the most sensible option for that control.

This doesnt mean that we think the touch-pad is bad or a gimmick in any way; it just isnt necessary for this title but we do have some ideas of how to use it for future projects.

Well, obviously. I was under the impression that this was kind of like a top-down twin stick shooter?

SaltyMeatballs · Feb 4, 2014

Not unexpected.

satam55 · Feb 4, 2014

No shit. It's a top- down shooter.

Interfectum · Feb 4, 2014

Will this be announced for every PS4 title now that it's such an internet selling point?

Hotline Miami 2 is 1080p / 60fps!

VanWinkle · Feb 4, 2014

Not surprised at all. I'm glad that it's native res on Vita, though, but 30fps is disappointing.

fuzzyreactor · Feb 4, 2014

not cinematic enough, pass

Somehow I missed there was a Vita version coming. Hot.

Ah, of course. They all use exactly the same amount of resources, from Robotron 2084 to Renegade Ops.

dead monkey uk · Feb 4, 2014

I think the real story here is how poorly the game will run on the Xbox One, it is not even able to run at 720P.

R3TRODYCE · Feb 4, 2014

Best news is the no gimmicky touchpad stuff just for the sake of having it, this is now on my radar.

Well, it's relevant gaming news and a pretty hot topic so I don't see the issue with it.

Freedom = $1.05 · Feb 4, 2014

I think it's interesting that it runs at 30 fps on ps3/vita. Gonna be weird to jump from the vita version to the ps4 version.

LiquidMetal14 · Feb 4, 2014

Game already has lots of cred considering they made Magicka. Definitely on board for this.

blastprocessor · Feb 4, 2014

Is that screenshot suppose to impress me because it doesn't?

It's a surprise it doesn't run at 1080p on the PS3!

It will be at least on Gamingbolt since that site is built around click-bait trash.

What's the XB1 version's specs?

edit - nvm, I see now that it's a Sony exclusive.

RdN · Feb 4, 2014

Are we really going to have a thread on resolution/framerate of every game that will launch this gen?

CaptainTiptop · Feb 4, 2014

So looking forward to this game. I hope it's out sooner rather than later because I love the concept. Magicka crossed with Starship Troopers.

I hope it's cross-buy across all three platforms.

Cornbread78 · Feb 4, 2014

Oh wow, I'm gettign an old school Ikari Warriors/Commando vibe from that screen shot. I miss these types of games.....

Allforce · Feb 4, 2014

This looks great, I love arcade-style games that pack tons of graphical detail. When is the release date?

The issue with it is that it's going to very quickly become bullshit. It doesn't mean anything if some indie game that could run on an iPhone runs 1080p/60fps on the PS4 or X1 or whatever else. That is 100% expected. Things that are 100% expected are not news and don't need to be remarked upon - unless you're trying to get bullshit page views.

Yes?

Dont see the problem.

Most important part was native vita res. Mhh mhhhm.

If I'm not wrong, it's cross-play/buy.

It's Sony's 2014 'we made cross-buy, so this is our cross-buy game of the year.'

I was just making a joke about how most of these threads go. No XB1 version.

Tagyhag · Feb 4, 2014

MEGATON.

Nah but really, the game should be 120fps all things considered.

FalsettoVibe · Feb 4, 2014

60fps is the next big thing.

This cross-buy stuff is fantastic. That coupled with PS Plus is a huge incentive to own all of the PlayStation systems.

Loudninja · Feb 4, 2014

I dont think they mention crossbuy?

Helldivers features Cross-Play and Cross-Save between PS4, PS3, and PS Vita, something thatll really enforce the co-op nature of the game, but if your preferred poison is to play locally, this is combinable so you can have two players on a PS4 with two others joining in on Vitas in the same room.

No. Also for Xbox One games, there just happens to not be many at 1080p60.

jiggles · Feb 4, 2014

30fps on Vita is a fucking disappointment.

Is that something you're really worried about? I don't think there's been any games that have forced you into any overly gimmicky uses of it so far.

Ah damn, never mind. Hopefully there'll be some kind of offer where you can buy all three at a discount at least.

ReaperXL7 · Feb 4, 2014

Good stuff...after Magika I became a huge fan of Arrowhead, so I'm pretty excited for this. I know it has similar mechanics which makes me believe co-op is going to be a barrel of monkeys.

Hyun Sai · Feb 4, 2014

Top down shooters, like fighting games, should be 60 FPS everywhere.

Gbraga · Feb 4, 2014

I think the real news is that it's not 60fps on PS3 and Vita. What a shame.

CurlySaysX · Feb 4, 2014

The game looks pretty good. Reminds me of Killzone liberation which I liked.
Never heard of this game but will buy. I think it's kinda expected to be 1080P/60fps though, it could probably run at 4K/60fps on the ps4.

Oh man I didn't even realize it said 30fps on PS3. Maybe the game is more graphically impressive than we are thinking?

Maybe, but I wish it wasn't if that's the case.

Maybe particle effects and high enemy count.

The basic geometry doesn't look like anything too demanding, but I haven't seen that much footage, so what do I know.
