Hahahaha

 

[Setsuna]

no... don't lock it.
would much prefer variable frame rate between 40 and 50 than locked 30.

i do not understand why so many people want games locked?

are you not being serious or something

 

[Muppet of a Man]

Variable framerates that frequently run on the high end help image quality for certain AA sloutions like TMAA and TXAA, especially while in motion since those techniques blend frames.

 

[Xion4360]

motion blur makes it looks smooth but its probably still locked at 30

 

[btkadams]

infamous 1 and 2 suffered from bad framerate drops when the action got really intense, so this is music to my ears. it wasn't often enough to be frustrating, but it is still nice to know that this game will perform much better. getting so excited!

 

[BadAss2961]

No problem with variable framerates.

Me neither. I always prefer more frames where I can get them. Definitely keep the variable framerate as default and offer an option to lock it if possible.

 

[BloodMoney]

no, i'm not, not being serious.

two decades of gaming with unlocked framerates, and relatively recently, "some people" can't stand fluctuations in frame rate and would rather have a game locked at its lowest possible framerate than have it run higher than that most of the time?

everyone has their own opinion, which is great. i'm of the opinion that unlocked > than locked.

 

[Zornack]

I hope they offer the option to lock the frame rate, like that recent K:ZF patch did, if it's variable.

I prefer variable to locked 30 but there are people who don't and they should have the option to play at 30.

 

[bombshell]

Hmm, a dev from Sucker Punch said some time ago that Infamous: Second Son is running a "rock solid" 30 fps.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

Hopefully they'll give an option for it like Killzone.

I have my doubts. They could have done it with the PS3, but they didn't. I guess if people complain a lot about it, they might do it.
Actually, how many games besides KZ SF allow you to lock framerate on consoles?

Gym has been hit

I thought this was 60fps

 

[phosphor112]

If it's not in the 40-60's, they need to lock it. A 30-50 is far more noticeable (like KZ:SF) than TRE. So locking it would be good. Or turn up more affects and drop it and lock it at 30.

 

[madmackem]

variable famerates always suck. lock it at 30 if it cant do 45 or 60

:/

I just finished tomb raider on ps4 and had zero issues with the unlocked framerate.

 

[Apoc87]

because its mostly 60 fps

Bioshock series allow you to unlock framerate, but that results in some serious screen tearing.

 

[RoKKeR]

Then lock it at 30 please, none of this fluctuating bullshit.

Die Grafik der spielbaren Version hat einen sehr guten Eindruck gemacht. Texturen, Spezialeffekte und Animationen hat das Entwicklerstudio Sucker Punch offensichtlich klasse hinbekommen, und das bei einer gefühlten Bildwiederholrate von 60 Frames - offiziell wollte sich Sony dazu nicht äußern.

"feels like 60FPS"

 

[Backfoggen]

There are two words you’re going to hear a lot of when it comes to PS4 and together, they change the game:

1080p
Unlocked frame rate

 

[Kuro]

I just finished tomb raider on ps4 and had zero issues with the unlocked framerate.

I have played on PC for years with variable framerate and have never had issues save for a few games where judder was very apparent (Skyrim).

 

[dark10x]

I just finished tomb raider on ps4 and had zero issues with the unlocked framerate.

Tomb Raider mostly hits 60 fps (or just below). It's basically on par with last gen Call of Duty titles in terms of performance.

Killzone SF, however, was generally much lower and felt terrible unlocked as a result. If inFamous is the same they should lock it at 30 fps.

 

[FairXchange]

I prefer it unlocked, so make an option to lock it perhaps for those who prefer that.

 

[Broadbandito]

I prefer the variable on kzsf. Locking at 30 made it feel like a different game

 

[Bluekaveli]

Just give us 45 and lock it.

 

[Nafai1123]

My guess is by the time the game comes out the effects will be even higher (shadows?) and the framerate will be locked.

 

[Bright-Light]

The option to lock would be best.
If thats possible with all games.
Then everybody gets to choose which they like best.

"feels like 60FPS"

OK, we have 2 feels. Can we have another?

 

[FiggyCal]

That was, because it dropped to the low 20s. That's of course noticable.

But variable FR over 30 FPS is much better than locked 30. At least if it never drops under 30 of course or jumps between 35 and 50 every few seconds.

That's true. But every so often you can tell the game just spiked to 60fps before slowing down again. It's very noticeable- when you go from 30fps to 60fps in a blink of the eye. I guess if they can keep it to at least 50 fps it should be okay.

 

[Uno Venova]

Aren't there already games with variable, above 30FPS games that don't judder? I haven't seen anything to suggest InFamous will have framerate problems on this hardware that it will need to be locked...

 

[jacksepticeye]

Would much prefer a locked steady rate over having it unlocked to have it occassionally go high.

 

[FiggyCal]

Tomb Raider and Battlefield 4 work very well. I've heard mixed things about Killzone Shadowfall though.

 

[UltraGunner]

They probably unlocked the framerate and used motion blur to smooth it out.

 

[matrix-cat]

Hopefully this feel will be better than DmC's feel of 60, which was more like the feel and look of 30 and below

Was DMC on PS3 60FPS? I got it from PS Plus and it ran pretty bad for me.

 

[DarkJedi24]

Infamous has never been a gave that has required a "locked" framerate, so I don't see any point in making it locked now. I'd always take a higher framerate in open world games, and as long it remains above 30 fps there will be next to no impact on gameplay with the variable framerate.

 

[Risk Breaker]

So awesome, I love (higher than 30) unlocked framerate.

 

[kaching]

I'm all for putting in a lock option for the sensitive types, but I'm perfectly fine with variable framerate for myself, as long as the variation isn't huge.

 

[Steffen]

I'm all for an option too. Would something like that be difficult for the devs to put in?

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Ok if they don't want to lock it at least give us the option to lock it like GG did with KZ

 

[Draft]

Seems so.

 

[TheRealTalker]

just needs a game reactor logo to seal the deal

 

[GamingIsDead]

Me neither. I always prefer more frames where I can get them. Definitely keep the variable framerate as default and offer an option to lock it if possible.

I would perfer this in every game. It only looks bad if it's dropping below 30 which always looks bad even you are locked.

 

[pretty done]

I didn't have an issue with the framerate in Tomb Raider PS4 so this is good news for me. They should have a lock at 30fps option for those who want it though.

 

[Markitron]

Personally I didnt notice any judder in Killzone or Tomb Raider, both pretty smooth for me so I suppose I prefer unlocked.

Probably 45fps.

I agree with this. Tomb Raider-esque performance should stay unlocked but KZSF Campaign performance should probably just be locked. If not, just give an option. I'm not too bothered by fluctuations but it can be a problem for some and I was surprised at how much better KZSF felt locked.

 

[WordsintheWater]

Pretty sure they said they were gonna lock it at 30fps, I thought I read that somewhere on a developers twitter.
