Am I crazy thinking that looks like this room from UC3?
LOL!!! It does look the same.
Probably is. They did copy pasta the bar from the beginning of three.
Forgetting Resogun,it holds up well against those 3 especially Knack so I don't think the comparison is completely unfair.
Yup, I'm similar in that regard, largely due to messing around with emulators and B:AC
on PC. I'm going the 30fps route.
Not really. People who are sensitive to these things will tend to notice.
I suspect he'd be able to pick up on it 99% of the time it occurs. Besides, 48fps is a drop of 20% and indeed quite jarring as he described. When you spend years playing most of your games at 60fps + vsync, with every single frame being displayed at a flawless 16.67ms interval, (and inadvertently training your brain to perceive it as the norm) you will begin to notice even incredibly small inconsistencies. For instance, Mario Kart 8's frame rate drops to 59fps every several frames and some, such as myself, find it fairly distracting.
Anyway, according to the DF article, the drops in TLOU seem to be pretty rare and shouldn't impact the experience for the vast majority of players. Still, some would rather never have to deal with any hiccups, and the 30fps lock will help them achieve just that.
Really? Where at?

This is pretty good job from ND. Being that it is 60fps majority of times is nice given the timeline they had.
Sweet! Sounds like I don't have to buy a copy of the game!
But seriously, a 12 FPS dip during intensive combat scene where the analog sticks are going to be moving like crazy, yeah, I'd notice that. That's the worse because you can "feel" it. Like, "I know the camera should have turned further than it did...dammit..."

Good to go.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
They didn't sound too impressed, then again it's understandable.
TLOU Remastered is basically this
But with only one game and not a collection of 2 or 3 and at near full retail price of a new release for the platform, its the price that gets me

Holy shit, that's the bar with the news paper on it that has the outbreak thing on! That's a nice little Easter egg.

TLOU is only one year old though. The PS3 version retails for $40

Shh, get that logic out of here.
Seems like the game is really close to a locked 60fps. Now I can't wait for tomorrow. Who am I kidding, I was hyped before this tech analysis, anyway
Thats exactly the point I was meaning to make, we ain't ready for this kind of shit, well I aint' ready.

That's cool and stuff but being that sensitive would mean that basically every console game would be unplayable. Or how many retail console games do have a flawless frame rate (30 or 60fps) with vsync

Well, we are part of the problem, as games that sacrifice a little more to never drop below the target are usually the ones that get most shat (Forza 5 is a perfect example of this)
Hopefully, as we move towards modern, compute based engines and tessellation frame rates will be more stable without sacrificing too much visual fidelity.
Digital Foundry put up their PS3 vs. PS4 double-dip perspective on the game: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-the-last-of-us-face-off

You are not wrong. Pretty obvious missing AO on PS4 shot under that dead guy on the ground to the left. Upon looking at some of the screen comparisons at DF article, I really wonder if PS4 version has their realtime character ambient shadows - a technique that totally made the TLOU for me - as far as I know being the only game to ever have something like that.
For example: Note how Bill's hand shadow is missing from the car on the PS4 version.
*Edit* I see that DF has actually addressed this, and that ambients shadows are there, but lighter than on PS3
Yes, it can be difficult at times, but I do my best to approach console exclusives with an open mind (or double standards in that regard). As far as console games featuring stellar performance, Forza 5 immediately comes to mind. It runs at a locked 60fps, and has perfect frame pacing as far as I can tell. Can't think of any other titles at the moment, unfortunately.

I was talking about the vast majority of the time, when the game is running at 60, and occasionally dips to 56 or 58.
Of course it's possible you'd notice a drop to 48fps, but that happened for 1 second during an intense encounter.
