Forums - Gaming - Mass Effect: Andromeda Is 30 FPS on PS4 and PS4 Pro

Mass Effect: Andromeda will run at 30 FPS across both PlayStation 4 and the new PlayStation 4 Pro.

Producer Fabrice Condominas shared the detail in an interview with GameSpot this evening at the PlayStation Meeting. The PS4 Pro is more powerful than the existing model. It is in theory capable of delivering higher frame rates, but that won't be the case here, apparently.

It's also worth noting that what we saw of Andromeda today was a pre-alpha build, so it's possible optimization efforts in the future could lead to better performance.

Cinematic experience.

30 FPS is good for a game like Mass Effect. The only games to me that really need to be 60 FPS are Fighting, Racing and FPS.



So, as I guess should have been expected, the developers (or more likely publishers) decided that they would rather go for more enhanced visuals instead of a higher framerate on the PS4 Pro.



Like I said before the Ps4P was launched, the frame rates will not double or anything but rather, just be more stable.

And people here in Italy think everything will run at 4k 60fps



I've mentioned this before I believe (months ago), but this situation will be the norm for every console generation. Regardless of how much power and memory every future console will contain, developers will opt to make sure their game looks better than the competition even at the cost of performance. The reason being is that way their game will garner more attention away from the competition. They realize how easily gamers are swayed by graphics. Frame rate isn't that much of an issue.

Doesn't that lock you out of the majority of console games? Even Nintendo frequently opt for 30fps (XCX, Zelda, Pikmin, etc).
