Seems likely, still I would ask them to give a locked option for those who can't stand judder or we won't hear the end of it. Personally, I prefer a higher frame count over a locked framerate, but different folks..

I heard menu screens can give you great frames. Main-menu hype!

I thought they confirmed 1080p

Even though it isn't from the SEN store description it is likely false
remember when the SEN store said random resolutions

Where was this? I've only seen journalists make the claim that the game is 1080p, and most of them thought Tropical Freeze was 1080p as well.
If MK8 is running at 1080p 60fps, there's no reason 3D World or TF would have been 720p.

Maybe 60 fps in the same way Infamous: Second Son is 60 fps if you stand in a corner or look at the sky.

Yeah i thought it was 720p too. But recently i read about 1080p. Fine with me either way
Probably upscaled

Probably for the best with a game like that.
maybe they unlocked some Sony secret sauce, lol
I guess it's possible they decided to unlock the 30fps cap, I wouldn't mind if it's an option
I played Tomb Raider on Xbox One at whatever framerate it's at and had a blast. The game's mechanics let me have fun, stealth killing mooks, melee combat, and using the bow and arrows was excellent. Never thought about the framerate, never thought it should be higher, I just played the game and had fun.
Watch_Dogs could be 1080p and have a locked 60fps framerate and still it could be a crap game if it's mechanics aren't enjoyable. The driving could feel unresponsive, shooting tacked on, hacking a let down, the story could be CRAP or side content tedious and repetitive and could render that smooth framerate wasted on a bad game.
No, it has been confirmed to be 1080p 60fps, even during splitscreen multiplayer

Poor PC gaming. How do we ever manage?

Holy shit, didn't knew that. Nintendo could make a fortune if they ever sold their secret sauce.
I'm really curious to know how many people really need a feature like that.
Of course this is a *very* welcome feature since even if just a 5% of the players "need" a locked FPS, the amount of effort to code this option is worth the work!
I see, that's is pretty interesting.
I don't know any gamer in RL that prefers to play at 30fps locked instead 30-60. That does not mean you are "weird", it's just that I never discussed in these terms with anybody!
What is your concern/problem to play a game with fluctuating FPS (that don't dip below the 30 of course)?

Is framerate ever really locked, even vsync'd? Stable should be the preferred word I think. 59-60 back and forth then hit a 54 back to 60 isn't locked. The PC won't allow it to go over 60 so you can only see the lower frames. Turn it off and you're in the hundreds.
No I am sorry but those regurgitated previews don't confirm anything. The game is 720p max we can bet anything about it.

The actual article was from eurogamer though. I don't believe it though.

Judging by the screens that are popping up more and more from people getting it early, it's native 720p.

60fps when u look at the sky
I think this article is just wow bad. The game is 720p
i played infamous SS and fucking hated the locked 30 option when I turned it on.........I guess some people like it, but I sure as hell didn't.

Agree, is totaslly nonsense to say it's 30fps... so if weren't 60fps they wouldn't say anyting... so 60fps... another thing is if its 60fps tops unlocked.
Well Eurogamer were the first to confirm it, I'm only doing google searches here, it's not hard to find. They again state 1080p 60fps even during splitscreen. Is there any proof that that is wrong?

The game is open world I wouldn't expect it to run at 60fps on consoles.

Clearly native 720p.
Edit: people said the same with DK CR Tropical Freeze, screens clearly looked 720p and it turned out to be 720p.
please god no, is this is another unlocked jumping framerate ALA tomb raider DE this game is a pass for me, the judder is so annoying
Just make it optional!
Tomb Raider stays above 50fps a GOOD deal of the time, and stays at 60fps at others, why scrap that 20frames just because it can't show another 10?
Also, not all portions of the game is as demanding as some set-pieces and busy moments and can stay at 60fps, why scrap all those goodness just because it cannot sustain it 100% of the time?
TLDR: Some people prefer 45-50fps with the possibility of 60fps, over an always-30fps experience. Make that an option.
niiice.

100% of the released footage (videos and screenshots) has been 720p.

I think this is misinformation rather than a typo. I seriously doubt Ubi got this running at 60fps on PS4. Has there ever been an open world game which ran at 60fps on console?
