Naughty Dog won't boost Uncharted 4's frame rate to 60fps if it compromises the player's experience, game director Bruce Straley has explained.

Talking in the latest issue of EDGE, Straley confirmed that the team locked Uncharted 4's frame rate at 30fps for last month's demo, but revealed that the game is actually running "above 30" frames per second.

"We're actually above 30, but we locked it [for the demo], Straley explained. "We're going to do whatever it takes to make the game we want to make. If it means we could go for 60 but lose something that would really impact the player's experience, then it's our choice as developers to say, 'Well, we're going to go for the experience over the 60 frames.'"

EDGE states that a debug station visible on the floor revealed that the game was running at 37fps.

All three PS3 Uncharted titles ran at 30fps. However, hopes that the upcoming PS4 release would run at 60fps were raised after community strategist Arne Meyer revealed that Naughty Dog would be targeting 1080p/60fps "with anything we're doing on this generation".

Last summer's PS4 re-release The Last of Us: Remastered ran at 1080p/60fps, up from the original game's 720p/30fps.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End launches exclusively on PS4 later this year.

While 60fps is necessary for action, platformer, and shooter games;
I don't think Uncharted's straightforward combat calls for it.

In fact, 24fps is standard for its genre.

I see the shade.

Angway, it's a game that could live without 60 fps just like the previous games. I just wish the multiplayer is 60fps.

If the game still looks nearly as good and fluid as the gameplay I've seen recently, I will still be more than happy. Nathan fighting on that rocky landscape was insane.

Wow a ps4 game might not be 60fps. Shocking news, to be sure!

I don't think most people would notice. U1-3 looked great at 30fps

Kind of disappointing especially since the PS4 is the technically strongest console and Uncharted is such a major game

Poor dat

I really don't care either way, I've played games at 60fps and they make me dizzy if anything.

The demo build they had at PS Experience was running at 37fps and locked to 30, and since optimization is basically the last step of development, they still have plenty of time to push it to 60 if they so choose.

Graphics >>>> 60fps, especially for a game like Uncharted where it isn't even necessary.

If the game was made by any other developer it wouldn't be an issue but Naughty Dog will always be Sony's developer that has to push two things: graphics and action. If they're not putting out cutting edge graphics then they'd get dragged to the pits. If 30fps means much better graphics then that's what they'll do.

It's sad, if anything, 2015 and it still can't push 60.

It's all relative. The graphics and physics of what we've seen are insane. Uncharted has never been 60fps in the past and Naughty Dog has always been focused on graphics, so just because of the sudden 60fps hype doesn't mean they'll sacrifice graphics just to please some over exaggerated desires

The PS4 is the best next gen hardware so just because it's 2015 doesn't mean they're failing as a developer

the next Uncharted game could be 60fps but it's still new hardware and developers haven't yet discovered its full potential.

Thank god they're developing for PS4, it'd probably get 10fps on Xbone and 2 on Wii U.
