From sony's site: "Running at 1080p and a stable 30hz."

Why can't the ps4 handle 1080p/60fps during development? Plenty of Wii U games have handled just that

Who cares. It looks awesome and is going to be one of the best games of next year!

"Who cares"? 60fps is much, much smoother.

As for why, I suppose the PS4 can't handle playing it at a steady 60fps. I can't see any other reason to dumb it down to 30fps.

What? 30fps? Ouch, for such an action-heavy game that's unfortunate

People who think like that are the reason the game industry has declined so much. NOT everything is about eye-candy. Smooth and good looking > choppy and gorgeous.

The teaser we were shown at e3 was 60fps. What kinda bait and switch...

*In before "it's a pre-alpha"*

The fact that you're bringing up Wii U alone is an embarrassment. Have you seen Watch Dogs on Wii U? It looks like The Sims 2.

There are tons of next gen games running at 1080p/30. 60fps won't be standard until developers can take better advantage of the system.

I would MUCH prefer Uncharted 4's SUPERIOR graphics that could never be achieved on one of the lesser consoles. I tried playing TLOU:R at 60fps and it felt way too weird. 30fps is better for basically any game besides a FPS.

I'd like to see Xbone try running this, poor 900p/15 Microsoft!

Oh, and lastly, "stable 30hz" could easily mean it will still run at 60fps but with occasional drops like every 60fps next gen game. TLOU:R gave the options of 60fps or 30fps, and they might do it again since both games are by Naughty Dog.

I didn't see anything in the trailer that showed me that the game couldn't be 60fps. Bayonetta 2 just came out and was 60fps, so this is sort of a disappointment. I guess Naughty Dog aren't really the masters of graphics and development for Sony platforms like they're stanned as. They seem to give me Ubisoft teas. Can't push a system to it's max.

Atrl is so embarrassing and try hard when they talk about video games. Especially the wii people who have nothing to cling to than Marios dusty recycled wig.

RIP Shahid.

Pre alpha, read the full post.

30fps looks terrible if you're used to 60fps. I don't record gameplay in 30fps anymore because 60fps is so much more dynamic.

Sony stans are HERE for 60fps on the rare occasion they actually get it. But when they don't, all of a sudden it doesn't matter.

Did you really use the Wii U as an example? A huge mess.

I just finished 60fps action game icon Bayonetta 2 and I don't think I can go back to 30fps anymore. I was really excited for Uncharted 4 but I'll have to temper my anticipation with this troubling news.

Ok, I'mma do my best to keep this cute. I'm not expert on gaming hardware by any stretch, but this seems pretty obvious to me.

Playing a game is not like playing a video. Playing a game at 1080p at 60fps does not require even close to the same hardware usage when comparing different games. The things that go into making each one of those frames will vary drastically from a Wii U game to a PS4 game - imagine all the physics calculations, the particle effects, the number of artifacts on screen at any one time, the water reflection effects, the objects all the way up to the much further away draw distance, the weather effects, the complicated lighting etc in a graphically rich ps4 game. Each of those has to be calculated before the ps4 can even make the frame. Then once the image is made, all the antialiasing, image stabilisation and v-sync has to be applied to the image before it can be displayed on screen. That is a much vaster number of calculations that need to be done to produce each and every frame for a ps4 game then the basic bitch mario kart games on the wii u. Two images can be the same resolution but one can require much, much more hard work to make.

That's right. The PS4 could handle Mario at 240fps so you Wii U stans oughta pipe down
