Support NeoGAF

[bombshell]

In a statement provided to VideoGamer.com last night, Square Enix explained that it is "still optimizing the game, and our target is 1080p at a minimum of 30fps. Anything beyond that is a bonus."

The statement is similar to the one made by Square in the run up to 2014's Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, where it said that its goal was to deliver "the core Tomb Raider gameplay at native 1080p and running at 30fps". "Anything beyond 30fps for this version is gravy," it added.

In that instance, the PS4 version actually ran at 60fps, twice as fast as the 30fps achieved by the Xbox One version. It was also developed by Nixxes, the Dutch studio who has teamed up with Crystal Dynamics once again for the PS4 version of Rise of the Tomb Raider.

[Always-honest]

nice. I can't wait to see how it looks on PS4

 

[thatJohann]

Neo patch will make it 4K/60fps

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Neo patch will make it 4K/60fps

So will the Scorpio patch.

 

[lupinko]

Let's go Nixxes! Aka best remaster studio next to Bluepoint and Hexadrive.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

XBO was 1080p too wasn't it? If that's the case you would expect them to squeeze something extra from the PS4 version.

Neo patch will make it 4K/60fps

So will the Scorpio patch.

Neo will have the timed exclusive this time though!

XBO was 1080p too wasn't it? If that's the case you would expect them to squeeze something extra from the PS4 version.

Cutscenes were sub-1080p on Xbox One.

Rise of the Tomb Raider ran at 1080p/30fps when it debuted on Xbox One last November, although its cutscenes took a hit in resolution, dipping from 1920x1080 to 1440x1080.

Obligatory Neo shitpost.

 

[DieH@rd]

MS would also maybe squeeze them [or their publishers] not to try to much.

 

[occelinho]

I hated the framerate the reboot had on PS4, got motion sickness from this since it varied a lot and wasn't nearly constant 60fps.

Give us an option to lock it at 30fps if it will really turn out like this again.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Ah fair enough, real time then I assume rather than prerendered.

Let's hope Nixxes can work their magic and get it to Reboot levels of smoothness.

MS would also maybe squeeze them [or their publishers] not to try to much.

Don't see that happening given the stark contrast in the Reboot ports.

 

[Subpar Scrub]

XBO was 1080p too wasn't it? If that's the case you would expect them to squeeze something extra from the PS4 version!

Squeezing extra doesn't help if it lands it in a stable 35fps. Too much of a gap to the next standardised benchmark of 1080/60 for this game's graphics and the ps4's hardware.

 

[Backfoggen]

Will probably have a more stable framerate. PS4 isn't fast enough for 60fps and unlocked would be bad, so it's 30.

 

[Subpar Scrub]

Will probably have a more stable framerate. PS4 isn't fast enough for 60fps and unlocked would be bad, so it's 30.

Were there issues with framerate? Other than one or two series of explosions I can't remember it ever dropping more than 1 or 2 frames during busy scenes, if at all.

 

[Xav]

Considering this is Nixxes who do incredible ports. I predict...

- 1080p & unlocked framerate for PS4 (With an option to cap it at 30 FPS)

- 1080p & stable 60 FPS for PS4 Neo.

 

[Sky87]

In my opinion, it would be preferable to drop resolution to ~900p and go for 60fps. Still not sure the hardware could handle that though.

Framerate was unstable enough on Xbox One that it was in the "What doesn't work" part of the digital foundry analysis.

Frame-rate: Rise of the Tomb Raider targets 30 frames per second with adaptive v-sync and reaches its objective fairly often. However, we ran across a significant number of scenes in which this frame-rate could not be maintained leaving us instead with judder and torn frames along the top 30 per cent of the image. We noticed a performance penalty when engaging enemies in combat as well though slowdown can occur even in sequences without any enemies or characters on screen.

Having beat it on Xbox the only way I'll double dip is if neo mode is 60.

 

[the_batman]

targeting 30fps

boooo

The Neo can't come soon enough.. if it's actually a substantial increase in power than the ps4 that is.

 

[Slackbladder]

A lot of PS4 games have uncapped frame rates. I hope RotTR doesn't if it is able to go above 30fps.

Yeah I had a few times it seem to almost feel like it hit single digits for a few seconds I guess it was dropping and the judder made it feel worse. That was only brief occasion it seemed pretty good overall.

 

[Backfoggen]

Two or three areas dropped enough to make it annoying.

 

[Xav]

You should double dip based on the certainty that Nixxes will remove the Xbox One input lag from the PS4 version like they did with the Xbox 360 version.

 

[JaseC]

Obligatory Neo shitpost.

You jest, but 4k60 isn't going to happen on either console ("High" isn't max settings, to be clear).

 

[KainXVIII]

You jest, but 4k60 isn't going to happen on either console ("High" isn't max settings, to be clear).

I even doubt 60 fps on Neo..

 

[ViciousDS]

question is...............will the input lag be fixed.....now thats the real deal

 

[STEaMkb]

You jest, but 4k60 isn't going to happen on either console ("High" isn't max settings, to be clear).

Some members don't believe the CPU bump is enough for 1080p 60fps, never mind 4K. I wish people would wait until we know more information before dragging Neo into every PS4 thread. It always comes in the first handful of replies. Like a hand grenade intended to derail the thread.

 

[liquidtmd]

Every thread about every game = 'BUT WHAT ABOUT NEO VERSION LOLOLOLZ'

Its becoming unbearable and the sodding thing hasn't been fully announced.

 

[bombshell]

question is...............will the input lag be fixed.....now thats the real deal

Nixxes did the 360 version of Rise and that didn't have the same problem as the Xbox One version, so that's hopefully a yes.

 

[SmartWaffles]

Even a 1080 stuggles at 4K lol.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

So will the Scorpio patch.

So will the PC patch.

 

[Bubba_Sparks]

That's basically the best they can hope for. Getting 1080p 60 FPS on PC is difficult even with a decent set-up.

The NEO won't be able to handle the game at 60 FPS if GTX 970s and Intel Core i5's struggle in numerous areas.

 

[texhnolyze]

I believe 60fps won't be happening on Neo or Scorpio.

Even gtx 980 folks were struggling to achieve stable 60fps at 1080p on PC. It's a very demanding game.

 

[Conduit]

I hope that there will be small input lag in PS4 version, just like Nixxes did with X360 version.

 

[OléGunner]

I feel sorry for all the Gaf users who believe they will be getting 60fps across the board with PS4 Neo.

That's a pipe dream friends.

 

[InsaneTiger]

Neo patch will make it 4K/60fps

So will the Scorpio patch.

Pissing match...GO!

Geez... whatever looking forward to the game, hopefully with minimal input lag.

Well, the CPU won't have any bearing on the viability of resolution bump, however it is going to remain the bottleneck in the system. AMD's Jaguar line is intended for low-power devices, not gaming systems -- the clockspeed increase is all well and good, but it's not going to make a tremendous difference. Many people seem to view GPU compute as some magic wand, but the simple fact is that if you're using GPU resources to ease the burden on the CPU, then you've less to dedicate to your rendering budget. If Zen ends up aligning with hopes and is mildly competitive with Intel's mainstream offerings, then the next round of console refreshes should benefit greatly provided the APUs can fit within the power ceiling MS/Sony have in mind.

 

[Mohasus]

You jest, but 4k60 isn't going to happen on either console ("High" isn't max settings, to be clear).

31 fps?

*insert carmack tweet here*

Aww yisss, it is going to be 60fps alright.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Neo patch will make it 4K/60fps

Maybe if the Neo has a secret hidden GPU

 

[shandy706]

The people that think this game will run at 60fps on Neo without sacrifices crack me up.

Guys...you don't understand hardware or what is required to do that.

Scorpio...heck high end PC cards...couldn't run this game full throttle at locked 60 when it came out.


With massive sacrifices Neo might could get a solid 40-50...maybe. A locked 30 is far better than jumping from 30-60 at random.

 

[Palculator]

We're in a bad spot when someone targeting the actual resolution of the system and half the refresh rate of a normal TV is something special.

 

[thatJohann]

As long as there's a 30fps cap setting. I don't like unlocked framerates.

 

[dead monkey uk]

Maybe if the Neo has a secret hidden GPU

Well the rumor is it has a power brick so secret GPU is quite possible.

 

[Mascot]

In my opinion, it would be preferable to drop resolution to ~900p and go for 60fps. Still not sure the hardware could handle that though.

I'd happily take 720p/60 on PS4.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Maybe if the Neo has a secret hidden GPU

Not sure Sony wants to fit the Xbox One inside it.
