Naughty Dog: going back and playing the 30 Hz version feels "broken" (Gamespot+TLOU)

Nice to see ND to embrace 60fps like this. Gives me hope that they will keep it as standard for all their games from now on.

Damn right it feels broken! Especially when one is used to 60fps for years like me.

"It was a toss-up before; people were saying that you lose quality and graphics and what not," Gregory said when asked why Naughty Dog feels that it's such an important component for the game. "But being able to compare apples to apples like we have now with The Last of Us, going back and playing the 30 Hz version feels, to quote some people in the office, 'broken.' There's something that can't be captured in screenshots and playing an adventure game where you just walk around and experience the world at the smooth 60 Hz.
 
I really hope they can hit 60fps on all of their games, or comments like this will seem silly.

Looking forward to seeing TLoU on PS4, though.

I can't believe it. A dev says 60FPS is great when they are releasing a game that runs at 60FPS. Almost as unbelievable as a dev downplaying the importance of 60FPS when they are releasing a game that doesn't run at that magical number.
 
If 60fps TLOU is so great then why havent they uploaded a video of 60fps gameplay?

I think they will even closer to release, now the journalists got a taste, later gamers will.

That said, video will never translate well why 60fps is so good playing.
 
Both Naughty Dog games and Halo games are moving to 60 FPS. That's pretty crazy.

Does anyone think this will convince other AAA developers to switch to 60 FPS?

Why are you complaining? 60 FPS is indeed great. Don't you want this message to spread? It's not like some small developer is saying this.

Pretty much this.
From what I've noticed, there's far more people using that term in a sarcastic/angry/jokingly way than people who are being serious.
 
Don't have a PS4 but I'm curious. Would you guys be okay with an unlocked 60?
That Tomb Raider game played fine. I'm sure this will be closer to "locked" 60 than that.

Is Halo 1080p/60fps? If so, bravo 343!
 
I'm getting conflicting messaging on this game. One dev says 30fps was added to maintain the PS3 experience, another dev is calling that experience broken, and there's no demonstration for me to decide for myself.
 
Hearing Naughty Dog employees saying that 30fps is broken makes me smile thinking about their future titles.

I just hope 60fps stays the norm with them and not that they eventually revert back to 30 in the future.
 
60 fps is confirmed for the next Halo, nothing confirmed about resolution.

It is apparently confirmed for the MCC, but it sounds like they have some work to do because they're currently achieving it by disabling v-sync, which is causing all sorts of tearing.
 
It is wronte in the article...

You need play it and not watch it.

So basically "trust us and just pay $50".

I can look at a 60FPS video and see the improvements just fine thank you very much MR Naughty Dog!


I wonder what GAF would be like if any other developer was trying to pull this kind of bullshit.

So wait until footage and/or framerate analyses are out.

You'll be able to see the difference yourself soon enough. In addition to the stream of comparison videos we'll be putting together, Naughty Dog director Neil Druckmann mentioned on Twitter, "Since some people asked for it, we added an optional 30fps mode (gameplay & cinematics). My pref is 60fps all the way."

patience grasshopper
 
However, as much as I am glad ND are going for 60, I selfishly hope that all the third party multiplatform developers will still keep targeting 30fps on consoles, because it will mean better graphics for me (on PC). But for console exclusives, please keep that shit at 60 thank you.

For a remaster/port like The Last of Us, 60 fps sounds great, but for a brand new game built for the PS4 like Uncharted 4 I rather have it be 30 with them cranking up all the visuals and post-processing effects to the highest possible level. Not like I'm gonna complain that it's 60 tho lol.

It is a game that is worthy of buy because everybody knows about the game already... it is not like a new game... the GOTY quality is already there since beginning.
 
This part of the article is hilarious too

"There was an internal debate just over the artistic-ness of going 30 or 60, and whether or not it would feel weird. Pretty much every person who had said, 'I'm a 30 Hz person, I don't know if I could play it at 60.' When they finally saw it, they said, 'Nevermind, I'm convinced.'

OMG the MAGIC
