Hidetaka Miyazaki hopes you'll be kind with Bloodborne's framerate

GameZone: "FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki is aware of the concerns surrounding the frame rate of his studio's upcoming action-RPG, Bloodborne. In fact, the game director even laughed about it when asked about his thoughts on the speculation that FromSoftware might be settling for 30 frames per second."

Just don't give us another Blighttown... I'm perfectly fine with solid 30fps for this game even though it won't be easy to go back from Dark Souls 2 PC @60fps.

[bouzebbal]

even 1fps i will buy this game. what they showed at PSX sold me on this one more than ever.
haters will always find something to criticize, but for me fun comes first.

EDIT: To me fun comes first. if i have to complain about every game then i wouldn't be buying anything.
I buy games based on what they are offering, and today i don't believe a game would go down to 10fps most of the time. On PS3 i play games where it lags a bit by moments, but nothing disturbing.
i remember haters at the time of MGS4 crying about framerate.

[Gazondaily]

"haters will always find something to criticize, but for me fun comes first."

This is true. From resolution, to fps- we've seen haters hate a lot this gen.

If its a solid 30fps, that's great. I won't complain if they don't reach 60fps if the game is fun. I wouldn't go this far though:

"even 1fps i will buy this game"

Although I suspect you were joking here. :)

[freshslicepizza]

playing a game at 1fps is not fun any way you slice it. 30fps is perfectly acceptable, anything below that and it can become noticeable and takes away from the experience. even games that are above 30 frames that fluctuate can be noticeable. id rather have a locked 30 myself than a variable frame rate.

[MasterCornholio]

As long as its solid I'm fine with that.

:)

There might be dips but as long as they are not noticeable I dont really care.

@Septic

He finally gets it. I'm so proud of you little buddy.

[Gazondaily]

"He finally gets it. I'm so proud of you little buddy."

I finally get that he's joking? That makes as much sense as this video:

"From resolution, to fps- we've seen haters hate a lot this gen."

That you understand that it's a general problem and that it isn't limited to a specific fanbase. I'm glad your seeing that somr Xbox fans and some Sony fans are hating on games just because of resolution or framerate.

Anyways have a happy peanut day.

:)

[nucky64]

demon souls......dark souls......miyazaki hasn't let me down yet - my copy is already paid for -
BRING IT ON!

[Concertoine]

Honestly the game doesnt look so good graphically that a rocky framerate is acceptable on the PS4.

[die_fiend]

I'm guessing you don't have a PS4, which is why you're saying this nonsense.

The graphics on this game look amazing, name one Xbone game that comes close.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Why even say that? Its not even the best looking PS4 game. You think no Xbox game comes close? lol

[Concertoine]

Im not saying "the game doesnt look so good graphically", im saying "the game doesnt look so good graphically that a rocky framerate is acceptable", people.

Im surprised so many disagreed. Im just saying this shouldnt be a case like dark souls which has a bad framerate (especially at certain points) since the hardware is much more powerful. Like i literally never beat DS2 because i couldnt get past the damn input lag and framerate.

Im not trolling whatsoever, i just demand quality. Right now the xbox one is the only console i DON'T have.

[Harold_Finch]

Don't ever write aything that has a chance of confusing people, you will be labelled a troll.

I amde a guess the other day on a comment that "Uncharted will most likely be 30fps" and about 20 people tried to fight me, they called me a troll and said crap like "don't feed him" and accused me of being an Xbox fanboy that doesn't own a PS4.

HINT: I'm currently playing on my PS4 this very minute on The Last of Us remastered. But that doesn't matter because i'm a Playstation trolling Xbox fanboy lol

All i've learned is that, on the internet, the ID comes first and foremost.

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

30 frames per second is acceptable. As long as the frame rate doesn't dip below that. Second Son is 30fps and it runs smooth as butter.

[gangsta_red]

I don't know, first this guy says that it's 30fps because it's best for action games, then he comes out and says it's due to technical limitations.

I find it interesting that he's getting a pass and not getting called out like AC:Unity did, when they also said that technical limitations were the cause of their problems.

Games need to be judged on how they play, I bet if this game would have released without anyone knowing, no one would have noticed or cared.

[ziggurcat]

"I find it interesting that he's getting a pass and not getting called out like AC:Unity did, when they also said that technical limitations were the cause of their problems."

... and when they reduced the crowds in order to increase frame rate (because that was part of their argument as it related to the CPU bottle neck), it did absolutely nothing. so... they lied, and their "technical limitations" were nothing more than the avoiding of "debates and stuff" as they originally stated.

and i don't recall anyone here yelling about bloodborne not being 60fps to begin with, so where's this so-called "free pass" you allege that everyone's giving him?

ubisoft also got flack because they completely botched the game, not because it happened to be 30fps. i don't think anyone cares that AC: Unity isn't 60fps.

so you can stop trolling by insinuating that people suddenly think something is okay just because it's on a sony platform.

[gangsta_red]

"...and i don't recall anyone here yelling about bloodborne not being 60fps to begin with.."

Lol! wouldn't that qualify as a "Free pass"...

But I disagree, if you would click on my link above you would see a lot of people disagreeing with the statement of 30fps is best for action games.

It's obvious that there are technical limitations for these systems, even on the more powerful one and that either resolution or framerate must be sacrificed.

"so you can stop trolling by insinuating that people suddenly think something is okay just because it's on a sony platform."

Hey, I never said that or even insinuated it but it's pretty obvious from YOU mentioning this that this is exactly what it means. You pretty much proved my points so I guess I should thank you.

What I was truly insinuating is that people need to stop jumping to conclusions and getting ready to riot when a dev says that they had to make cuts in order to achieve what they wanted for gameplay. I was also insinuating that people need to judge a game on it's gameplay and how fun it is and if gameplay suffered because the FPS was to low then they should take to the boards and complain.

[ziggurcat]

"Lol! wouldn't that qualify as a "Free pass"..."

no because no one cried about it being 30fps, either. giving it a free pass would be complaining about an identical game being 30fps, then excusing this game for being 30fps. an example being a former user here stating that *all* driving games should be 60fps, no exceptions, then excusing FH2 for being 30fps .

for the record, i'm perfectly fine with bloodborne being 30fps just like i was fine with the souls games being 30fps.

"It's obvious that there are technical limitations for these systems, even on the more powerful one and that either resolution or framerate must be sacrificed."

i'm not sure where the sacrifice was since there was never any talk of them targeting 60fps to begin with.

"What I was truly insinuating is that people need to stop jumping to conclusions and getting ready to riot when a dev says that they had to make cuts in order to achieve what they wanted for gameplay."

no, you weren't. the moment you compared bloodborne with AC: Unity, your insinuation was that PS owners were forgiving bloodborne simply because it was a PS title.

and it's from the creator of the souls series, so we already know that the gameplay is going to be fun, and incredibly challenging. we also already know that gameplay is not going to suffer just because it's 30fps.

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

Unity doesn't run above or at 30fps. That's one of the reasons it's getting so much flack.

[hkgamer]

first of all. this game is an exclusive as well as it being on a sony platform so there is less hatred.

secondly, ubisoft has fked up too many times. and it was the thing to gate them.

thridly, console parity was mentioned. that should not exist. unless it was last gen when ps3 gamers wanted parity.

finally, he talked about it being cinematic and compared it with hobbit movie.

like to say that i am a playstation fan and play most of my games on sony devices. dont hate on me too much im just having fun and jokingly stating things that did happen in the past.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Pretty sure he was misquoted there, and he corrected it.

[MasterCornholio]

Holy crap your comparing this to Assasins Creed Unity?

For your info the reason why people complained wasn't because the game ran at 30FPS its because the game ran way below that plus it was a bug ridden mess. Something that even Ubisoft admitted.

[freshslicepizza]

its getting a free pass for two main reasons.

1. the game isn't unity and if it hits 30 frames that puts it above unity already. along with this being 1080p.

2. we have no scale to judge this game on, which is exactly what sony wants. we cannot compare this to the xbox one version for example and scream parity if both are 30 frames and both have the same resolution. and because sony is locking it out from coming to the pc we wont be able to determine the weakness in the console.

another reason can also be attributed to plain old biased people here. look at the reaction to tomb raider getting the shaft on the ps4. now fast forward to street fighter. two very different attitudes, at least thats the impression i get on the forums. people justify things when it suits them.

[Father__Merrin]

30FPS is perfect for a game like this, turn up the visual settings to boot, this game will be incredible and PS4 only

[hkgamer]

havent played souls games at all since they all seem too brutal and hardcore for me.

but this game seems a little more interesting, probs the setting or maybe the faster pace action.

im guessing the previous games(except PC) were 30fps and relied a lot on timing. this games even more faster paced so timing would be even more essential. so hopefully this 30fps limitation wont affect the game too much.

[Mizikiel]

Go back to your uncharted and last of us casual.

[eyeDEVOUR]

lol.. it needed to be said that those games are casual for along time... THANK YOU!!!!

bubbles..

[PizzaSteve]

I understand completely. PS4 is a great console but it does have limits like all consoles have. Do what you think is best because I don't have a degree in this business.

"I hope that you guys can be kind to us." 30fps is fine to me. It's sad what gaming have turned into. Full of cry babies, complainers, and trolls.

[Tapani]

I'll be kind to your FPS. Just have it at 25-30fps at worst and 30fps 95% of the time. Then it's a "complete" game.

[Inception]

Just like the 1st commenter said, as long as i don't have to experience Blighttown than i'm fine. But i'm got the feeling Miyazaki don't have a problem to achieve solid 30 fps with PS4 hardware.

[Donnywho]

It doesn't bother me one bit.

[pelida]

Good old Hayao Miyazaki

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

*Hidetaka

[pelida]

yeah I know

[lolosgolos]

For the sake of the power of the PS4 let it hold 30fps

[mochachino]

So long as it's at least a solid 30 FPS they should have no problems. If it's going to be variable give a lock option.
