They have finally answered the framerate question.

The Definitive Edition will be 1080p, 30FPS on both PS4 and Xbox One, Amos said.

$2 per frame

 

[jetjevons]

Oh cool! Solid 30? Great news.

 

[shinobi602]

Fine with me.

 

[Steroyd]

Well that's not definitive.

 

[WickedLaharl]

I will laugh heartily if it can't even maintain a rock solid 30FPS.

Definitive my ass. $60 for this is a fucking joke when you could get it so much cheaper right now.

 

[kazebyaka]

That's next gen, alright

 

[batman2million]

I am okay with this.

 

[Ban Puncher]

The feel of definitive.

 

[C00kie M0nster]

 

[rjc571]

I bet it'll frequently drop well below 30, as well.

 

[Cidd]

lol what a fail.

 

[KingSnake]

Definitive cinematic experience.

 

[MoxManiac]

Misleading subtitle.

 

[The Maverick]

60 bucks? Nope.

 

[SoopaMan2K]

Really was hoping for 60FPS. Oh well.

 

[Bornstellar]

Thank goodness for the PC.

 

[Damian.]

We are giving you a solid shitty experience. Better than a shitty experience. Kudos!

 

[jackissocool]

That's next gen, alright

This is like, the dumbest argument ever. There's never been hardware incapable of 60 fps games. It's just not something most devs will ever prioritize and no change of hardware will ever change that.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I'm fine with this, but it had better be locked @ 30fps.

This is a PS360 game with minor graphical ugprades.

 

[Coolwhip]

Early in gen re release at 30 fps is just sad imo.

 

[WickedLaharl]

Misleading subtitle.

But dude they changed how lara looks!

 

[coolmast3r]

"Definitive Edition"...

lol, 30fps just screams "Definitive"

 

[Hanzou]

Oh cool! Solid 30? Great news.

Really was hoping for 60FPS. Oh well.

Weird how my 3 year old pc runs this game at 60 or close to it but it only cost me $5. I don't care that this is being made but it should be about $30

 

[rjc571]

Hey it could be worse - Tomb Raider Legend saw its framerate cut in half when it was ported from the Xbox (60 fps) to the Xbox 360 (30 fps)! You should be thankful that it's not running at 15 fps!

 

[thelastword]

Then my question is; could the PS4 version be 60fps then? Why have they just settled on parity between the platforms.

 

[jamsy]

Don't think it was reasonable to expect 60FPS at 1080p. My GPU is more powerful than the PS4's, and it ran in the 40s on average for me, not even all maxed out.

 

[kick51]

$2 per frame

The feel of paying $1 per frame

Weird how my 3 year old pc runs this game at 60 or close to it but it only cost me $5. I don't care that this is being made but it should be about $30

yeah my several year old HW maxed it no problem at 1920x1080 60fps, but with no tressFX. TressFX destroyed it (and i think it's not quite there, especially for dedicated hair tech.)

 

[Zimbardo]

wasn't the definitive edition on sale for $5 during the Steam sale?

 

[jet1911]

Dat bump mapping though.

 

[Mman235]

So PC is the definitive definitive edition then?

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Late to the game but this is going to be $60?

No buy.

 

[V_Ben]

If it's locked, then that's fine.

 

[FLAguy954]

The feel of definitive.

$2 per frame

Lmao these.

 

[Valnen]

Some games need 60 FPS to play well. This isn't one of them. Worth it for the graphical upgrades, IMO.

 

[NullPointer]

This is like, the dumbest argument ever. There's never been hardware incapable of 60 fps games. It's just not something most devs will ever prioritize and no change of hardware will ever change that.

"Next gen" isn't just about hardware capabilities. Its about progress.

30fps locked will be fine. But will it be locked? Am curious as hell about this one.

 

[Acquiescence]

Not that I give a shit about 60fps, but they're charging full price for this and calling it the Definitive Edition and they can't even be bothered to up the frame rate on new gen tech? It can be done, they just can't be bothered because it's a cheap and cheerful port for some easy money. Anyone who pays £30 or higher for this is a mug.

 

[Fried Food]

I played this at 60 fps on ultra on pc. It felt and looked really good. CAn't play at 30

 

[SniperHunter]

Trans fx killed the frame rates on my 7970 so yeah....

 

[boinx]

Meh, lost a sale there then. Not that i would have bought it at the full price though.

 

[RoboPlato]

Unsurprising. Honestly, as fine as I am with 30fps, it better be rock solid 30fps. ACIV on PS4 feels far smoother than most 30fps games on consoles because it doesn't ever drop.

 

[jon bones]

this is the only time when i will say "wait for ps+"

 

[Insane Metal]

What? Why? WTF?

I'll buy this when it's like $15.

 

[kick51]

Some games need 60 FPS to play well. This isn't one of them. Worth it for the graphical upgrades, IMO.

yeah but since the gameplay is so vanilla, you may as well make it *look* as nice as possible.

 

[bigol]

The not so Definitive Edition

Correct

 

[hawk2025]

And, with that, a sale is lost.

Sorry CD, I loved the game and was willing to swallow a full price buy, but I'm not paying again for a 30fps experience. I'll play the game on a PC in a few months when I build a better one at 60fps.

 

[Chairhome]

Are any of the enhancements (if any, other than Lara's face) going to show up on the PC?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

And my 63.67$ will be spent on it
