30-60 is not smooth...

Locked at 60 is. Locked at 30 is acceptable.

Dynamic frame-rates are messy.

Not on a Gsync monitor, but I guess that's not an option on the consoles.

 

[Piggus]

"... in a way that only PS4 can provide, at 60 fps in 1080p" lulz

On the other hand, a bit sad that resolution and framerate are used to sell games these days... I dunno, we'll see. I wonder why Ubi would not keep up with their previous "30fps gold standard for open world games" heh

Because higher resolution and framerate makes the game better. Not sure why that's so hard to understand.

 

[Human_me]

One day when we get AMD's freesync, we may get something.

Edit: Just did a bit of research, they are trying to get it standard for DisplayPort so maybe not this gen.

 

[Thrakier]

But that's not quite the same thing. If the resolution were to be 1080 a good deal of the time, and then dynamically shift to 1070, 1050, 900, etc. then it would be more similar.

"A good deal of the time" is the key here. Are the talking of 60FPS with slowdowns, which can be ok, or are we talking about something close to 60FPS, which is a completly different beast.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

1080p 60 fps ps4.

720p solid 30fps xbox one.

600p 20-30 fps xbox 360 & ps3.

500p 20 fps Wii u.

My guess is 1080p 30 fps ps4, 900p 30fps X1.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

Infamous SS handled this the best way. All devs should follow their lead.

No idea, it's probably a typo or a misquote but if it's Tomb Raider level it's at 60 often enough to call it 60.

 

[Bgamer90]

I agree... well, in terms of single player focused games.

Anyway, guessing if it is 60 FPS then it will be 60 FPS unstable on both consoles with Xbox One version being 900p and PS4 version being 1080p.

 

[MilkBeard]

I thought they said it would be 30. Maybe they optimized? Probably a typo. Or it's just unlocked 60 like Tomb Raider.

 

[mike4001_]

My guess is 1080p 30 fps ps4, 900p 30fps X1.

Most likely.

I also read 960p for xbox one somewhere, but 30 fps should be a given on both systems.

 

[Bgamer90]

Most likely.

Yeah, Xbox rumors have been from 900p to 960p. Think it's safe to say it won't be anything less than 900p but we'll know for sure soon.

Not a problem as far as the anti-aliasing is OK in my opinion.

(but thats a topic for a differenz thread )

 

[dark10x]

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.

Driver: San Francisco

It was absolutely open world even though you never left the car. You could also zip around the city at insane speeds due to the possession mechanic.

Burnout Paradise could be considered as well though it was more limited.

 

[border]

Has any open-world game shipped at 60FPS?

Has any AAA Ubisoft from the last 8 years ever shipped at 60FPS?

I'm going to guess that the answer here is "No."

Look above. Driver is definitely that.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

So is this confirmed, or....

Seems super specific for it to be a mistake.

 

[Zeyphersan]

1080p 60 fps ps4.

720p solid 30fps xbox one.

600p 20-30 fps xbox 360 & ps3.

500p 20 fps Wii u.

Nah, with Wii U you'll put the disc it, it'll load up the Youtube channel and you watch the game being played by someone else

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Didn't someone who recently saw the game running at PAX suggest it was running at a higher frame rate? May be the PS4 version is running at an unlocked frame rate with a min 30fps?

 

[Portugeezer]

So was this debunked yet?

 

[MilesTeg]

Look above. Driver is definitely that.

Man Driver San Fransico looked so damn good too for being at 60fps on 360/PS3. It really was an outstanding game.

 

[Windom Earle]

Yeah, Xbox rumors have been from 900p to 960p. Think it's safe to say it won't be anything less than 900p but we'll know for sure soon.

But will it give the impression of 900p?

 

[Deleted member 80556]

I don't know how you can debunk something that is on official channels.

 

[Loudninja]

Its most likely a error this happen several times already atleast on the web store.

On Game Informer website now.
Watch Dogs Runs At 1080p, 60 Frames Per Second On PS4

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

Ubi or Sony say it was a mistake.

Wow I kinda feel like I have to see this game myself to believe it,

 

[Bgamer90]

Watch Dogs Runs At 1080p, 60 Frames Per Second On PS4

Saw that earlier. It's from the same source (the recent listing). They shouldn't have titled the article like that.

 

[CriterionDog]

Ubi or Sony say it was a mistake.

Where?

 

[blankempathy]

I don't believe ubisoft can do what sonys own development team could.

 

[HI. BILLY MAYS HERE]

Where?

I think he meant that's how the 60FPS can be debunked not that it has been yet.

 

[CriterionDog]

I think he meant that's how the 60FPS can be debunked not that it has been yet.

Ohh, okay. Thanks Billy Mays. : D

 

[Bloodrage]

Unless the graphics have been downgraded even more and Ubisoft discovered real magic, I don't see how this is possible. Didn't some preview claim that one of the versions was running at a consistent < 30fps?

 

[EzekelRAGE]

Don't need 60 fps for this game for me personally, but would be really awesome if true. Assuming they didnt have to downgrade too much in other areas.

 

[blastprocessor]

Thumbs up to UBI if this is running at 60 fps.

Now one wonders about GTA5

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

Has anyone played it at any booth they had open at any event?

 

[Abstruse Moose]

Maybe it's either 1080p 30hz or 720p 60hz.

 

[GeoramA]

Any review copies in the wild yet? I'm hoping for good news.

 

[CriterionDog]

Oh dang, just realized. People will probably be getting review copies soon. I hope for awesome reviews!

 

[CambriaRising]

Still too early for that.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

If his ends up being 1080 / 60 on ps4 and let's say 900 / 30 on XB1 this might just be the biggest resolution gate discussion yet.

 

[nomis]

edit: wrong thread

 

[DryvBy]

Just saw that Game Informer article. MEGATON.

 

[Kibbles]

Saw that earlier. It's from the same source (the recent listing). They shouldn't have titled the article like that.

Why not, it's an official listing that is pretty specific.

 

[AgentOtaku]

I... I just can't believe this

Only because, while I ADORE my PS4, I just can't imagine the specs being capable of pumping this out.

 

[Bgamer90]

Why not, it's an official listing

Playstation game listings have been wrong in the past. Better to wait to see what Ubisoft says.

That's not to say that I don't think it's true though.

Edit: Joystiq's title is better IMO.

I've only seen errors on the store pages, not on the actualy playstation website. Will be interesting to know for sure, and very impressive if it's actually 1080p60. Didn't the community manager say the only differences between Ultra settings PC and PS4 were resolutions >1080 and TXAA/HBAO+?

EDIT: Doesn't state specifically but here's part of what he says

There are resolution differences, one or two effects which are more dedicated to high-end PCs. But in the end I think it's pretty fricking close."

[Mr Moose]

I'm going to guess that the answer here is "No."

If you'd class MGS GZ as open world, the answer is "yes".

 

[ref]

Well, maybe that's why the game had a visual downgrade, wanted to make it ~60 fps for next-gen consoles?

From what we've seen, it doesn't look insane enough for that to be an unrealistic goal... although for this type of game, I'd probably be fine with 30 fps with more eye candy.

Was that 720p Trials Fusion error just on the PS4's store page?

 

[thebigmanjosh]

Was that 720p Trials Fusion error just on the PS4's store page?

Yeah that's where I saw it. Just checked and Towerfall is also listed as 720p but the PS page doesn't even have a res listed, so who knows at this point lol
