[Lrrr]

I would love for this to be true, but I'm more inclined to believe that an overzealous, and probably uninformed, marketing intern made an honest mistake. Due to recent events involving the game, I take everything I hear about WD with a massive grain of salt.

 

[Gurish]

Guys if this is true it will be unprecedented for a open world game on a console.

Can you name me any open world game on any generation on a console that ran at 60 FPS or close to that?

And no last gen port or online gaming, a single player with high production values that achieved it, I don't think there is.

That's why i find it hard to believe this is true as well, they will strive to push better visuals if it was achievable.

 

[Tagg9]

I'm pretty sure Ubisoft went on record to say they are targeting 30fps - http://www.videogamer.com/xboxone/watch_dogs/news/watch_dogs_is_30fps_on_ps4_and_xbox_one.html

 

[Cthulhu_Steev]

I agree. Way too specific. They specifically call out that it is the best console version as well and then the 60fps/1080p. Hope it is accurate, if it is not, that is some blatant lying going on.

Wasn't Trials Fusion listed on the store as 720p before release? Stuff like this does happen. And they can be pretty confident it's going to be the best console version, even without the 60fps.

I think someone said Burnout earlier.

 

[Oni Jazar]

I'd love for it to be true but I'd say the chances are about 10%. If anything it would be unlocked. If it was true we'd hear about it from the devs not a product page.

 

[Philippo]

So Ubisoft hasn't confirmed/denied this yet?
Honestly indifferent if it's 30 or 60, but i guess the bigger numbers the better.

 

[Wace]

PS4 runs at least one rather open world game (~1500 square miles / ~4000 square km per map usually) at 1080p/60L without any glitch.

Spoiler

War Thunder, airplane sim, but still...

 

[jaaz]

This is from games of thrones right? I haven't watched game of thrones xD.

What are you doing in this thread? Go watch GoT right now! (You know nothing Dr.Sage)

 

[Asbear]

It looked like it had some choppyness in the latest bits of footage I've seen. But i'd bet it runs at an unlocked average of 30fps.

 

[Exploratory]

Lol no. Come on people.

 

[jayu26]

It's probably 60fps like Tomb Raider is 60fps.

 

[Nethaniah]

It's probably 60fps like Tomb Raider is 60fps.

So, not at all.

 

[funkystudent]

Would explain a lot

 

[Hoo-doo]

Surely there's some Ubisoft employee on Twitter who could debunk this with a single sentence?

 

[jayu26]

What if s/he end up confirming it... What then?

 

[Hoo-doo]

What if s/he end up confirming it... What then?

Then.. we'd be happy?

 

[Y2Kev]

Ubisoft themselves said 30 fps is the gold standard for open world.

 

[Ryoohki360]

The last video was barely 30 with some dip under, even gamersyde who have played it wrote that it was under 30 at times

I'm pretty sure Ubisoft went on record to say they are targeting 30fps - http://www.videogamer.com/xboxone/watch_dogs/news/watch_dogs_is_30fps_on_ps4_and_xbox_one.html

So did the TRDE devs...

Spoiler

War Thunder, airplane sim, but still...

Then there's 2 already. MGS:GZ is 'open world' as well

Spoiler

, lol.

 

[DrBo42]

Does anyone honestly believe it's going to be 60 fps on console? I don't understand how anyone could think that. It's not going to happen.

 

[jayu26]

Then.. we'd be happy?

Honestly I don't really care (I will probably play on PC), I'm here for the inevitable meltdowns.

Edit: I should say that if they are looking at unlocked, they should give the choice to lock it down.

 

[JayEH]

Doubt it's 60. Everything they've shown so far is 30.

 

[Bad_Boy]

Maybe they are going for the platinum standard.

 

[dreamcastfan]

Not saying It isn't true, but this was in print on the case for this dreamcast game. I didn't see 60fps at ANY time.
Point being, just because it is in print, doesn't mean it is correct.

 

[StevieP]

Lol no

 

[Reese-015]

It would certainly look better. The subjectivity thing is that some people don't seem to like to be reminded of the fact that the image consists of pixels, and that they're really just playing a game.

Lol. Shocker! People like suspension of disbelief! They also like textures and things that conceal that it's all just a bunch of polygons and stuff. Yes indeed they like it when their game does not remind them that it's just a game.

 

[KORNdoggy]

Not saying It isn't true, but this was in print on the case for this dreamcast game. I didn't see 60fps at ANY time.

Link is broken

I feel like a lot of people in this thread WANT this to be false...for whatever reason...

The Phantom Pain will be 60.

That link is broken, but I'm willing to bet it says 60Hz, not 60fps.

 

[Always-honest]

We'll see. 30 would be fine too for me.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

So, not at all.

Did you actually play it? It averages well above 50.

 

[EvB]

Did you actually play it? It averages well above 50.

That's not what the DF tests show

 

[jtenma]

I don't, but image quality and performance wise, The Last of Us was *far* from the best looking game of the console generation.

 

[twobear]

Ubisoft themselves said 30 fps is the gold standard for open world.

They could have been saying that so as to not imply that the 30fps versions is in anyway gimped on inferior, though. If they'd said '60fps is the way it's supposed to be played' and then pushed out a 30fps version, it would be kind of a 'fuck you' to the people buying that version.

 

[Kinyou]

Would be very surprising. AC4 was 30, right?

"True experience" could also just refer to the exclusive content, but hey, sure wouldn't mind if it's really 60

 

[R_Deckard]

Just saw this on the playstation website, probably a typo right?


http://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/watch-dogs-ps4?CMP=soc_us__gm_psblog_topbanner_3_4_14


edit:Seems a little weird to be a typo because they type as header " the true watch_dogs experience" ?

Well that is a pleasant surprise and I do believe it, without question it seems more than plausible to me.

Dat PS4 Gravy pours again!! Lol

 

[Qassim]

Sorry, I don't care how good your character models are or how detailed your environments are if they're covered in ugly aliasing running at sub 30fps most of the time. I just can't call it a good looking game.

 

[ShinMaruku]

It's Ubi so no. They don't have the talent nor the ambition for 60fps. It's 26 fps.

 

[ScepticMatt]

cool, where can i buy that game?

http://a.pomf.se/fwimqd.webm
Any ways, real time raytracing is not yet ready.
Here is a real time tech demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpT6MkCeP7Y

 

[RoboPlato]

Didn't Ubi say that 30fps was the standard for open world games a while back? I'd be shocked it this wasn't capped at 30.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

It's Ubi so no. They don't have the talent nor the ambition for 60fps. It's 26 fps.

I hope you're wrong so I can quote you on this. They have plenty of talent and ambition. You sound ridiculous.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

It's like people are starting to believe that it is 60fps. At first I was thinking wow nice screw up there, now we've been talking about it so much that.... what am I saying, there's just no way it'll be outside of 30capped.

 

[Hoo-doo]

I wouldn't benefit Ubisoft one bit to have this rumor floating around like this.

I wonder why they haven't made any comment yet even though they seem to have no problems saying it runs at 30 before.

 

[Sendou]

I guess the real question here is what made folks over at Sony think it's 60FPS?

 

[DryvBy]

Isn't Assassin's Creed IV 30fps? Why would this be 60fps?

 

[Kinyou]

I hope you're wrong so I can quote you on this. They have plenty of talent and ambition. You sound ridiculous.

And Rayman is like a billion FPS

Spoiler

ok, just 60

 

[KORNdoggy]

Isn't Assassin's Creed IV 30fps? Why would this be 60fps?

Because AC4 was rock solid, no fluctuations 30fps. Which usually means the game COULD run higher if the limiter was removed...how much higher? God knows

 

[qa_engineer]

I would rather have locked 60 or locked 30 rather than the possibility of horrible tearing.

I'm on PC anyway so it's not an issue, but I wish more devs would give a choice like Titanfall did on the 360.

Yeah everyone loves the 60 fps or 30 fps @ 1408x792 screen resolution.

 

[ShinMaruku]

I hope you're wrong so I can quote you on this. They have plenty of talent and ambition. You sound ridiculous.

I may sound ridiculous but trust me this shit will never be 60 fps on PS4.

Just because they have thousand person team does not quite put them in talent they are brute forcing through things and will hit a brick wall soon.
