Speaking in the latest issue of EDGE Magazine, Naughty Dog’s Bruce Straley asserted that player experience comes before framerate in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.
Straley confirmed that a demo of the upcoming game was locked to 30 frames-per-second (FPS), even though the game could perform high above that.
“We’re actually above 30, but we locked it [for the demo],” he said. “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.’”
