Forums - Sony Discussion - TLOU Remastered has a "Lock at 30fps" option

torok on 16 July 2014

I don't think the 60fps would be used on cutscenes. What I see usually on games is gameplay at 60 fps and cutscenes locked in 30fps to avoid that horrible soap opera effect.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

Cutscenes are remastered just like the game - 1080p/60fps. From the polygon preview it seems like the 30fps limiter works for the cutscenes as well.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

As for the topic: 'And for those who don't like a variable frame rate, or the way that cutscenes look at 60 fps, the studio included an option to lock the frame rate at 30 fps.'

Positive previews?!? I can't believe it.

From the Polygon articles "looks to be the definitive version of one of the best games of 2013."

Didn't they give TLOU a 7.5? Different authors of course, but it still gave me a chuckle.

Honestly i think the game will still have drops, but nothing to cry home about (witch some people still will) The game will probably be 60fps 97% of time with drops to 55-59fps, anyways we will wait for DF

None of the console call of dutys were truly 'locked' 60fps yet they are still regarded as 60fps games

Again this isn't a bad thing/not hating on ND

It's probably going to be 59 fps. So disappointing.

The option wouldn't be there if the framerate was locked at 60. What would be the point of lowering it to 30, if it was locked at 60 from the get go?


Because some people, including some within Naughty Dog, prefer the slower, more cinematic feel of 30. 


Cinema is 24fps, not 30. 30fps is TV.

As for people within Naughty Dog prefering the framerate to be locked at 30... Care to provide a link?

 

You're right, but because of the fact that they're shot with a camera, there's motion blur.  So 30 FPS feels more like 60 when it's live-action, and 24 feels more like 30.  Games don't have motion blur, so 30 feels noticeably jerkier than 30 film does.

Of course it's not locked at 60 fps. The PS4 is a console, not a super computer.
Gonna enjoy the outcry when people realize that UC4 will also not be locked at 60fps.

I had to google this idiom but I still don't get your point.
