Kojima-san and Naughty god(they at least claimed U4 will run at 60fps though I heavily doubt that) our last beacon of hope.

And Nintendo; their games still typically run at 60fps.
Or did you mean on PS4?

But the Zelda games are 30 fps because they're action games.

Zelda is more exploration and problem solving than action, but if we want to expand the envelope, then Smash Bros is an "action" game and will likely be 60fps like its predecessors. If we then include Nintendo published games then there's also Bayonetta 1 & 2, and if last gen is factored in, Metroid Prime 3 and Other M, Sin & Punishment 2, etc.

wasn't the alpha apparently above 30 fps?

Or maybe it would look more like Tomb Raider or GTAV. 7th gen games that technically more impressive than DS2.

Have you played Destiny on PS3 by the way? That holds up surprisingly well and probably has more enemies on screen along with co-op players. Open world and 30 fps as well! :-O

Of course Destiny holds up well since it's an old gen game, like most cross gen games, the tech is not really impressive, not so next gen, the art direction is.


Well, just wait for february and digital foundry analysis, you'll surely find some interesting informations about Bloodborne tech

Why not just explain what makes Bloodborne technically impressive and why its so crucial to the gameplay.

Or we can just move on. I'm fine with either.

I think there are only a handful of games that aren't at least unlocked 60 FPS, those being Xenoblade, Pikmin, and Zelda titles.

Bloodborne doesn't even look that damn good graphically to be staying at 30 fps if that was the real reason. I don't really care at all though game will be great just like assassins creed unity lol.

While a stupid reason to give 30fps does have advantages over 60fps, and it never ruined their past games

True. They should have just gone with something different like..."We are From Fucking Software. Our games dip as low as 7 fps during some levels and you know what. You loved and will love the hell out of them." *then they do the joker's laugh"



MoHasanie on 27 October 2014

Well that's a silly excuse. The PS4 is powerful as well so they really should have made it 60fps.

It's not a competitive game so 60FPS isn't necessary.

Besides 60FPS just isn't an option if they want those high quality graphics.

Thats total BS.

True; I never said all Ninty games were 60fps.

My point was that if we're talking about companies that still offer 60fps, they're one of the most prominent.

Again, unless we're only talking about 60fps on PS4.
