Uncharted 4's multiplayer will run at 60fps, with the resolution taking a slight hit to 900p - which contrasts with the single-player, which is hitting 1080p resolution and will be 30fps.

During a presentation following Sony's Paris Games Week show, Naughty Dog confirmed that multiplayer would be 60fps as it went into details on the mode, which introduces new magical elements and a more complex, varied brand of competitive play. We'll have more on Sony's slate in the not too distant future.

[R3TRO]

Holy shit.

 

[Flandy]

bah
Maybe it's just me but I don't like when devs do this. Going from 60 to 30 is jarring

 

[Matush]

This thread will sure go well.

 

[Ray Down]

This thread will sure go well.

 

[Warxard]

Good. 60fps is important.

 

[Alienous]

Ooof.

 

[Mailbox]

uhoh

 

[nelsonroyale]

That...is surprising.

 

[StoopKid]

Let the faux outrage begin!

 

[emrober5]

Wow, that is garbage.

(will still play)

 

[.....]

60 FPS is worth it.

 

[Nakkilokki]

Sub-30fps/900p could be the norm in a few years.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Egad! Shit is about to hit the fan.

 

[LCGeek]

Me lol game started but I'm getting popcorn for this thread.

 

[Summer Haze]

The right choice imo.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Fine by me.

I'd rather the 60fps in multiplayer.

 

[KalBalboa]

Wow, that is garbage.

(will still play)

Is it really?

 

[le.phat]

Perfect! Both Uncharted's and TLOU's multiplayers where on the verge of being truly special. Let's hope 3rd time's a charm!

 

[Tagg9]

I hope they weren't assuming 900p based on the Flickr screenshots.

 

[Turkoop]

fps is more important.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Love me some 60 fps.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Wow, that is garbage.

(will still play)

Why? 60 fps is ace for competitive play.

 

[Papercuts]

Framerate over everything.

 

[Steve McQueen]

I can live with that. 60 is more important in MP to me anyway.

 

[Get_craycray]

Good. 60fps is important.

This.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

This is the worst day of my life.

More like Unacceptable 4: A Resolution's End.

I am so furious I inadvertently struck my child. They're not hurt, but they won't speak to me. NOTghy Dog has ruined my family.

 

[RedAssedApe]

:shakes fist:

druckmannnnnn

 

[Nibel]

So

is 900p a non-issue again? Ok

 

[SunBroDave]

Naughty dog made the right call.

 

[- J - D -]

It's multiplayer. Why not cut down other details and settings before messing with resolution? Visibility is key in multiplayer, man. Every pixel matters when you think you see some guy in the far distance.

 

[Rebel Leader]

bah

It goes by what I want:

1080p/30fps for single
Xp/60fps for multiplayer

I'm ok with this

 

[Newtype-001]

#ThePriceOf60fps.

 

[StrikeFirst117]

Considering they want to prioritise 60FPS it makes sense to drop the res a little to make sure there is a much more stable framerate.

 

[WonkyPanda]

I HATED how jarring Gears 1 HD was going between SP and MP. Adding in the resolution reduction is not going to help that. Just make it 30fps ffs.

 

[family_guy]

Would have preferred consistency across the board. Isn't that a little jarring to jump between 30fps single player and 60fps multiplayer?

 

[Windom Earle]

So

is 900p a non-issue again? Ok

It begins.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Naughty Dog, please. 900p? Really?

 

[Loudninja]

Only thing I see confirmed from ND is 60fps here.

 

[Steverulez]

bah

It annoyed me in Gears when it did this, i'd rather they just pick one and go for that personally

 

[thtJhnn]

I hate the inconsistency. do one or the other. but don't do this hybrid alternate crap. ugh.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Oh brother

 

[nib95]

Whilst not ideal, as long as it looks great and has nice big open maps, that's fine by me. Guessing this is to keep the visuals more consistent with the SP, whilst holding the higher 60fps.

 

[Alienous]

But the graphics also seem significantly 'downgraded' from single-player. I thought that was the 60fps sacrifice.

 

[SugarDaddy]

More surprised the single player isn't already 60 fps, tbh

 

[PROh1bited]

Oh no, the MP took a 180p hit. What savages!!!

60fps is more important than 1080p. Sorry folks.

 

[jbug617]

60fps good move for multiplayer

 

[Ray Down]

For multiplayer hell no

 

[DarkLordMalik]

I was checking the official screenshots and all of them were 900p. I was wondering if this was the actual resolution and it has turned out to be the case. Color me disappointed although 60 fps will be good thing to have in MP.

 

[jett]

It's too bad they couldn't hit 60fps with this compromise on single-player. Framerate is king. I actually wonder what's the average framerate at 900p on SP. Maybe ND could implement a secret framerate unlimiter code.
