thats why it runs at 30 fps....lol

this should end the thread.

Seriously if there are zero bottlenecks, then why is it only 30FPS?

 

Any developer saying there are no bottlenecks is not pushing itself.  They can always increase FPS, better lighting, physics, more enemies, ect.

30FPS doesn't mean the system has bottlenecks. It could very well be a financial decision to make the game less expensive.

what!?

A 1st party, showcase, launch title is under financial constraints!?!?  lol

What does first party has to do with burning money!? Do you want them to spend 100 million on it, when the game probably won't sell more than 4 million tops. You're not making any sense!

First party ROI considerations have nothing to do with third party ROI considerations. First party games don't pay royalties to the console manufacturer, and they are used to sell consoles and increase the user base, so the financial implications of a first party game are much harder to calculate than a third party game. Sony could see it as a success with "only" one million games sold, if it implies one million consoles sold.
