Many thanks to Grandmaster for making the info available.

Looks pretty solid, general impression is that there are slow downs when theres more happening on the screen. Obviously, with things like smoke being a real killer of framerates.

It runs at about the same frame-rate IIRC as GTAIV for the PS3.

Vsync locks the frame rate at 30fps when it can so it seems.

Overall pretty smooth and well designed, but more fps would have been nice as it always is. Obviously some smoothness was sacraficed for visual appeal.

i dont think it runs at the same framerate at gta4, i can notice a difference once i switch the 2 games.

interesting info though

LOL. Thanks for this. While this doesn't take anything away form the game and how good it is...there are lots of people on the site that pretend MGS4 shit dont stink.

lol sure

I take that as complete bull$hit, funny how HEAVENLY SWORD supposebly has a better FR than this game..

hahahahaha

GTA 4 has the same FR rofl.

Great data, but I'm pretty sure GTAIV runs much lower than that.

People were quick to jump on Conduit a few weeks ago when they announced 30fps as their target, but it's obvious from reviews that a frame rate of ~30fps hasn't stopped alot people from enjoying the hell out of MGS IV.

 because its not 30fps, its 60fps, these people are trying to attack the game like they have been the whole week.

ok, so? The game is still amazing, no number can take that away from it.

Leo it's damn obvious it doesn't run at 60 fps, only in closed rooms.

 Yea I know it doesnt run at 60fps all the time, but the game doesnt drop below 30fps either.

Heavenly sword is locked at 30fps, mgs4 runs significantly better than heavenly sword when it comes to fps.

The game for the most part is between 30 and 60fps, and Id say it rarely drops under 40.
