Nice, more than happy with 1080p and a solid 30fps, especially from an open world game with graphics like this. No more horrible current gen (or should i say last gen ;p) dips below 30fps.

Eonjay4227d ago

Its 2013! What games dip below 30FPS

...oh...

Studio-YaMi4227d ago (Edited 4227d ago )

Dead Rising 3?
that's one game I know that dips till 16fps.

Edit:
Why am I getting disagrees for!?
Digital Foundry made a video showing the latest build of the game being played with an FPS calculator & the fps dips to 16 in major situations,I'm not making this up,go check the DF video! :\

Skip_Bayless4227d ago

I saw it drop down to 11 or 12 frames. My video froze right on that point. It was when the guy was entering the first building after he kills zombies around the city.

That's just unacceptable current-gen behavior. No wonder Microsoft chose Ryse and Forza as there flagship games for the X1

thereapersson4227d ago (Edited 4227d ago )

@ Studio-Yami

Because fanboys will attack this game (Second Son) for running like it does (even though it still looks amazing and still has more time in development), yet want to deny the fact that there are games that can't even muster the minimum requirement for next-gen hardware (30FPS).

Glad they decided to push this game's engine hard, while sticking with a lower, albiet stable, framerate. That, and we already know this game will be worth an 8/10 MINIMUM when coupled with developer pedigree and franchise strength.

Godmars2904227d ago

@Studio-YaMi:
At the very least your comparison shows the difference between 1st and 3rd party devs and understanding of hardware.

bjmartynhak4227d ago

Guys, let's try to at least remember that DF did not play the latest build. Capcom might have improved.

Though... for a next-gen 720p title it is rather embarrassing to have frame-rate issues so close to release

UltimateMaster4227d ago

I want 60fps 1080p.
I guess it's great that we are at least getting 1080p that's already a milestone from previous gen. Hopefully they can get it to run 60fps, like killzone shadow fall does.

XboxFun4226d ago

@Studio

Last I heard Capcom Vancouver was able to lock down the framerate at 30fps.

Utalkin2me4227d ago

Exactly, it could be 900p and dips as low 20 fps being a linear game with Qte's

Brazz4227d ago (Edited 4227d ago )

Ryse? don't no about the frame rate issues.... (does Ryse have frame rate issues? don't know about this...)
But Dead Nation, this one at 720p have some issues in frame rate...

Utalkin2me4227d ago

Digital foundry done test and it dips as low as 24 fps. Its on youtube, but i haven't seen anything that says it solid 30 fps.

Studio-YaMi4227d ago (Edited 4227d ago )

@Brazz
you meant Dead Rising,not Nation hehehe,it happens.

Yes,Dead Rising .. after all the work to solve the frame rate issues,it still has them.

The frame rate mostly dips till 20fps but in major situations it comes down to 16fps.

Which is really bad.

@Utalkin2me
"Digital foundry done test and it dips as low as 24 fps"

Actually it dips as low as 16fps & most of the time it dips to 20fps.

MRMagoo1234227d ago

Im glad its not a zombie based game running at 720p that drops to 14fps and mainly sits at 20fps.

badkolo4227d ago

wow didnt know you played the final release of it

Enemy4227d ago

^ Digital Foundry played the most recent build. It dips below 20fps. Get ready for some slideshow action!

GarrusVakarian4227d ago (Edited 4227d ago )

@badkolo

Do you even keep up with gaming news bro? DF played it and reviewed it, dips below 20fps and is 720p. Not acceptable. Gameplay over graphics all day everyday but that is simply not ok for a $500 next gen console.

AngelicIceDiamond4227d ago (Edited 4227d ago )

@Magoo Bubble down for trolling.

Grow up and quit acting like your 12.

EDIT: You guys support trolling now? When will people learn smh...

Flutterby4227d ago (Edited 4227d ago )

@angelic

Bubble down for trolling for trying to influence ppl to bubble ppl down , also bubble up to magoo for funny cos it's true , you can't also complain about magoo and somehow miss utalkintome and his comment .

mikeslemonade4227d ago

My internet has been shitty and while my video froze the frames actually dropped to 11 frames. This game isn't even next-gen. That is unacceptable current-gen behavior.

Eldyraen4227d ago

To be fair if Infamous had hundreds of npcs being blown to smithereens flying all over the screen it would probably dip too. The zombie density was a design choice which in all honestly is rather costly imo. I still plan on playing it though as looks like crazy fun.

Infamous I expect will be the 'better' game but by time it comes out DR3 will be all played out anyways ;)

Ausbo4227d ago

But i thought unless a game was 1080p and 60fps that it was unworthy of next gen...

This according to sony fanboys.

Anyways, game looks great and im sure it will be a hit.

GarrusVakarian4227d ago (Edited 4227d ago )

Obviously not, do you not see the attention this game is getting?, same with driveclub....and Killzones singleplayer and AC4 singleplayer...all 30fps and all loved/anticipated.

You comment is invalid.

Angels37854226d ago

These games aren't 30fps they vary around 60 or so the devs have said and I have played them..... if these games are 30fps...they are the smoothest 30 frames I have ever come accross....

CJDUNCAN4227d ago

@thereapersson

it's the PS4 fanatics that keep making a fuss about how next gen is suppose to be all 1080p/60fps. These the type of people that will refuse to buy second son because it's not doing 60gps, even though it looks great and is shaping up to be an awesome game.

Soon as word got out about resolution differences in the launch titles, the PS4 fanatics have been scoffing at everything that isn't 1080p/60fps.

Anywho, I look forward to getting this gem.

pivotplease4226d ago (Edited 4226d ago )

I think open world games are an exception in their defence. 1080p/60fps should probably be standard for fps (close quarters), racing, platformers, and other linear and simplistic games. However, at the end of the generation, I could see 1080p being set aside for a lower res to provide a more impressive game. After all, framerate and resolution aren't everything. I personally enjoy 1080p and really don't care about having 60fps (hardly noticeable in many games). Just saying this now because I know if there are compromises on say TLoU 2 it will be to provide an even better looking game.

cell9894226d ago

I would be happy with 900P and either 60 or 30 FPS as long as the game pulled out some amazing experiences. After trying out BF4 on my 60" screen I can confirm it looks amazing, YouTube videos do not give justice to these new games, you really got to play it on your own screen to believe it. Im sure even 720P native looks nice, but 30FPS and 720P combo is a deal breaker for me.

AngelicIceDiamond4227d ago (Edited 4227d ago )

And that's just fine. The game looks great, will run great and play great.

And its a well known AAA exclusive.

Riderz13374227d ago

And it's open world! Love me some inFAMOUS!

CJDUNCAN4227d ago

@Riderz1337

Maybe it's just me but the first 2 games looked awful, they were fun in spurts but I couldn't get past all the jaggies and muddy graphics. And I don't even care about graphics much.

But this is definitely a game to watch.

miDnIghtEr20C_SfF4227d ago

I've always said a game like this doesn't need 60fps, but boy oh boy will it be fast the dismissal of 1080p/60fps. 30fps is more than ok now.. #AmIrightGuys?

Enemy4227d ago

People need to realize InFamous is completely open world. How often do we see an open world game doing 1080p+60fps with these graphics?

Enemy4227d ago

I know it is. Obviously, look at the title, man. That was in response to Rick Flair's comment about 60fps/1080p.

Flutterby4227d ago

I think you missed the whole point angelic , you seem to do that a lot , maybe you should look at comments and the context before the verbal diarrhea commences?

bobacdigital4227d ago

On PC quite often..

You dont realize how nice 1080 with 60fps is until you get a gaming rig and play most all your games like that. Anyone saying a game is fine at 30fps is lying to themselves.

GarrusVakarian4227d ago (Edited 4227d ago )

At least have the decency to reply to me directly if you want to mock me. Ive ALWAYS said a solid 30fps is good enough, and ive ALWAYS said that 60fps is a luxury that isn't always needed but i wouldn't turn down given the chance.

I said a couple of days ago (or yesterday) that i think the res/framrates we will see the most next gen will be....1080p@30fps, 1080p@60fps, 900p@30/60fps and 720p@ 60fps in some rare cases.

Riderz13374227d ago

It's an open world game. Also it's running at 1080P. But you're an Xbox guy, you're not accustomed to full HD resolution yet. It's okay, maybe on the Xbox two...or whatever they call it...

porkChop4227d ago

I get your point, but it's completely irrelevant seeing as this is an open world game which have pretty much NO reason or real benefit of being 60fps. 60fps is necessary for games like multiplayer shooters, sim racers, fighters, etc.

Utalkin2me4227d ago

At least a certain machine can hit 1080p with 30fps, #AmIrightGuys?

Omegasyde4227d ago

Platformers/3rd person games don't really need the F60 frames per second like Fighters, First person shooters, and racing games do.

MasterCornholio4227d ago

Well at least the game isn't running in 720P which was my initial worry since it looks incredible.

Nexus 7 2013

bjmartynhak4227d ago

I agree. I also always said that solid 30fps was fine.
So with The Order 1886. Even Driveclub with good motion blur.

30>20

considering most ps4 games will run at 60fps, i'd say you just trolled yourself smh

The_Truth_24_74227d ago (Edited 4227d ago )

60>30.

How so? More like I trolled you because you're butt hurt.

Enemy4227d ago

How many Xbone exclusives run at 60fps, Truth? Games that aren't doing baked lighting, static background, and running in straight circles around a lap? Oh I know! NONE

MRMagoo1234227d ago

yeh i know its only a locked 30fps at 1080p , i was hoping more for a zombie game thats 720p at 14fps but alas i have to put up with imfamous.

T24227d ago

Just wait for new dynasty warriors its essentially the same concepts ... God like character mowing down a thousand enemies .... Also fun for about a week

PSnation44227d ago

2 games coming out next friday that wish it can even reach 30fps

Utalkin2me4227d ago

Lol, @ 720 and 30 fps......roflmao

GarrusVakarian4227d ago (Edited 4227d ago )

Its actually below 30fps.....below 20fps at some points actually. It's all there on the DF review/breakdown.

punisher994227d ago

@The_Truth_24_7:

At least us playstation gamers get to experience what native 1080p is. Unlike you.

The_Truth_24_74227d ago

Since I am getting a PS4, I'll never get to experience native 1080P? You ma'am, are a retard.

DCfan4227d ago

LOL!!
I've been seeing waaay to mmany xbox apologists lately.
I guess WB27 is making multiple accounts with the rest of the guys.

inFamous 3: Is PlayStation Working On A Second Son Sequel?

Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.

-Foxtrot328d ago

They really need to

Go off the evil ending off Second Son

Delsin absorbs all those powers

Revealed he’s the real Beast and John in Infamous 2 was just an anomaly created by timelines being messed with by Kessler.

Cole vs the Real Beast

gold_drake328d ago

quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.

chicken_in_the_corn327d ago

It would make more sense to go off the evil ending of 2 and the good ending g of SS where Cole is The Beast.

Cacabunga326d ago

Doesnt make any sense calling second son 2 as infamous 3..

OtterX327d ago

Ha, yea Delsin was obnoxious.

I wouldn't mind another new character, but somehow bring Cole into the story.

We can just pretend like Delsin never existed. :)

thejigisup327d ago

Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown

neutralgamer1992327d ago

Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5

RaidenBlack327d ago

Umm ... how about this?
First we get the Tushima sequel(coz its most rumored)
Then a new Resistance (need new PS SP FPS)
Then a totally new IP (new IPs are always interesting)
And then a new inFamous?

Pepsi_Man3000327d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx327d ago

Can we also get a complete remaster of InFamous 1 and 2?

fr0sty327d ago

Gimme a new Warhawk and MAG while we're at it.

DivineHand125327d ago

I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.

DazaMc327d ago

The graphics were amazing, I got the platinum on that one. Very good.

ChasterMies327d ago (Edited 327d ago )

If I had a choice between another Infamous game and another Spider-Man game, I choose Spider-Man. Sony should spend its resources on its winners.

Tacoboto327d ago (Edited 327d ago )

Infamous was such a winner its studio was given the freedom (after 3 titles + their expansions) to do a new IP with GoT, just like with Sly Cooper before infamous.

I'd welcome a 4th title even more than another Spider-Man, it'd be exciting what they could do with new powers fit for the hardware outside the limits of a licensed superhero game.

jznrpg327d ago

Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.

How Does inFAMOUS Second Son Hold up 10 Years Later?

inFAMOUS Second Son was one of PS4's best exclusives, but does it hold up a decade later?

Deeeeznuuuts516d ago

100%, locked 60fps and still look great all these years later, same with the expansion, definitely worth a look if people haven't played it yet, not the best games ever made but a good experience, hopefully a new infamous gets released

KwietStorm_BLM516d ago

Never was my favorite infamous, but it was definitely a graphics showcase early on PS4. Still plays well with the unlocked frame rate.

SDuck516d ago

Still remember getting hyped about this game nearing release. Funny because I never even got a PS4. Jumped from PS3 to PC so I never played it ahahaha

OmegaSoldati516d ago

Its a good game. But thats it. Congratulations you made the best choice. I dream to have a great PC one day.

jznrpg327d ago

@OmegaSoldati I’ve had a few of the highest end PC’s and they’re cool for about a year then they aren’t the highest end PC anymore and not as cool. It’s way overrated imo.

Profchaos516d ago (Edited 516d ago )

Graphically It's a absolutely stunning game that still holds up today.

Didn't have all that much depth to it forcing you to play though twice for a platinum trophy a good and bad run it was a little disappointing how similar those were Delsin would be like I'm not doing that for you in a cutscene but the cutscene would play out and force you to do it anyway just as you would of in a good run

I did like the story however it got a lot of complaints back in the day people hated playing as Delsin instead of cole despite Coles story being wrapped up.

Overall though the map wasn't overly saturated with useless points of interest there was some collectibles and things to find but nothing compared to a Ubisoft game.

I think it was a good game if a little hollow I've played it through around 4 times now since it's so short.

Also it's DLC was great a full story expansion
