[Hyunashi]

Just make it rock solid 30fps and super pretty. March is too far away.

 

[Anteater]

People are in fantasy land that a city-based GTA-style open world game with a ton of enemies using flashy super powers that also happens to look like one of the best graphical showcases of the generation so far is going to clock in at 1080p/60fps.

Pretty much. The division, next gta, elder scrolls and so on are most likely all going to be 30fps, I just hope they don't run like shit now that they have a machine easier to develop and optimize for.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

I will take 3 delayed games, no mp3 support, multiplayer paywall, and exclusive skin for 400 please.

The neon stuff looked freakin awesome tho. Good after-images havent been a thing since PS2 Shinobi.

all things to be expected, well besides the MP3. But really it's fucking MP3, big whoop.

Shinobi on PS2 was amazing, one of my fav action games ever

 

[Booker Dewitt]

Curious...will witcher 3 be 1080/60?

Don't know about resolution, but they've said 30fps was their goal.

 

[Vizzeh]

I wonder if this is design decision, Infamous noticably got a graphics upgrade.

Last 2 trailers are definately squeezing more quality, perhaps they choose to go for 30fps from 60?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

That's pretty awesome. Long as it's rock-solid, I got no complaints.

I don't think 60 was ever considered in the first place.

 

[adamsapple]

Do you know what his job is?

Linked in says he's a Senior Business Development Manager.

what's your point ?

 

[qko]

Do you know what his job is?

Do whatever it takes to convince us to buy Sony products including and not limited to overpromising?

 

[molnizzle]

It better be rock the fuck solid if they're not going variable. I can't be having "targeted" 30fps with frequent drops. Not this gen...

 

[Anteater]

That's pretty awesome. Long as it's rock-solid, I got no complaints.

But what about his hat?

 

[metalslimer]

I fucking hate variable framerates like In Infamous 2. Ok thanks for teasing me of what this game feels like at 60FPS for like 10 seconds only to come crashing down. Either lock it at 30 or lock it at 60. The only way I could deal with variable is if it was between 50-60 not 25-60

 

[Dysun]

As long as it's a real locked 30 and not what Capcom Vancouver claims is a locked 30

Yeah, I'm with you for the most part. I was hoping for 45-60 variable for Second Son... too optimistic, I guess. I can deal with some rock solid 30 as long as it's rock. solid. 30. Hopefully Sucker Punch can deliver.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

60fps was never on the table, I don't know what you were all expecting.

 

[revolverjgw]

Lock the framerate. I hated when Infamous 1 gave me little teases of 60fps when I looked at the water.

 

[Tratorn]

lawl.

It's 1080p.
He never said he means 1080p @ 60FPS. Noone should have expected 60FPS for Infamous lol.

 

[Heretic]

Game looks so good. No big deal.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Looking pretty good, the facial animations seem better than KZSF

 

[molnizzle]

It's 1080p.
He never said he means 1080p @ 60FPS. Noone should have expected 60FPS for Infamous lol.

I wanted to believe. =(

Maybe next gen...

 

[Balphon]

I still couldn't tell the difference between 30 fps and 60 fps if my life depended on it.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

But what about his hat?

HE WILL DITCH THE HAT IN HIS RESPONSIBLE SELFLESS HERO MOMENT.

BELIEVE.

 

[Reg]

I wanted to believe. =(

Maybe next gen...

4k, 30fps

 

[molnizzle]

Oh, how I envy you.

4k, 30fps

 

[Papercuts]

HE WILL DITCH THE HAT IN HIS RESPONSIBLE SELFLESS HERO MOMENT.

BELIEVE.

Truth.

This was running at 1080p/60fps but thanks to the thread by neogaffer NotTheGuyYouKill, partially through the game he will ditch his beanie to display his glowing locks. Framerate has been adjusted to handle it.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

To hype indie games?

Damn son.

 

[Kyon]

YASSSSSS

 

[nampad]

30fps was to be expected. Anyone thinking it would be 60fps was out of their mind. The game looks incredible and is one of the most impressive next gen titles so far. It would have obliterated any other game in the launch window if it would be 60fps.

 

[dummydecoy]

Can one set the PS4 to play all games at 720 for better performance?
I don't trust SP's technical skills. Sure, ISS looks pretty, but so did Infamous 2 and that ran like shit at times, especially during the foggy sequences.

 

[Cyborg]

GAF argues about the resolution or the fps..........

1. Oooh its not 1080p, its not next gen bla bla bla
2. Oooh its only 30 fps, its not next gen bla bla bla

Damn guys, all the games are ''launch games'' lets chill the fu*k out and wait a lil bit.

 

[TechnicPuppet]

Don't care, looking forward it.

 

[GoofsterStud]

If it drops bellow 30 I will be extremely disappointed.

 

[BadAss2961]

Why the fuck would anyone expect 60fps?

 

[Danielsan]

Anyone expecting 60 frame this game is crazy.

 

[Contra11]

Do you know what his job is?

Bullshting ?

 

[Dynedom]

So PS5/XboxTwo for 60FPS in open world games then?

 

[anexanhume]

I'm ok with a solid 30 FPS for a third person action game. Confirmation of 1080p is great too.

 

[MavFan619]

With how it looks, I'll take it.

 

[BadAss2961]

So PS5/XboxTwo for 60FPS in open world games then?

Doubt it. We'll just get even better looking graphics at 30fps as usual.

Wait for what? 60fps is half the frame time of 30fps, no matter how powerful the machine it's a big compromise for a developer.

You'd have to be completely deluded or retarded to even hope or expect every game in development was 60fps.

 

[Jinfash]

The past two games were guilty of variable fps and dips below 30. Lock it at a solid 30 this time and we'll have a deal.

 

[hesido]

I'd be pissed if we have 4K games at 30fps that also run at 30fps at 1080p.

If you can't get 1080p60fps to work, PUHLEASE give us a 720p60fps option.. Bury it deep into the game options or have a per game max res. option only few can find if you are afraid it would convolute the console philosophy!!

 

[SkullHydra]

No, this has nothing to do with the power of these systems. PS4 could hit 1080p60fps easily in any game. It's all a matter of graphical fidelity and in this case Sucker Punch decided to go for nicer visuals.

And I definitely think it's the right choice. Second Son looks beautiful! If they can keep the frame rate rock solid, and either maintain or surpass the gameplay of the previous Infamous games, they're going to have an amazing game on their hands.

 

[Zoned]

So now people need 60 FPS as well? Seriously what more do you want from a 400$ machine?

 

[coughlanio]

I'm happy with "rock solid" 30FPS.

 

[Canis lupus]

So now people need 60 FPS as well? Seriously what more do you want from a 400$ machine?

They dont know what they want, they ask for more performance yet dont realize they would have to pay much more than 400 dollars to get such a machine. And when the machine is too expensive the other complaints start to show up.

Funny enough, these 2 responses compliment each other.

I wonder if devs will always push visuals over FR as hardware gets better.

edit: For the record, I'm super excited for this game. This news doesn't dampen my enthusiasm at all.

 

[The Lamp]

Perfectly acceptable. It's beautiful and it's open-world.

 

[MDX]

we can fun at Full 1080p

Huh?

 

[confuziz]

I still couldn't tell the difference between 30 fps and 60 fps if my life depended on it.

This is me as well. Must be something wrong with us.
