Naughty Dog was working to achieve 60fps for their upcoming action-adventure, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, but the team is making sure the player’s experience won’t impact due to 60fps gameplay.
Speaking to Game Informer, creative director Neil Druckmann was asked, how difficult it would be to get the game running at 60fps, He replied: “Really fucking hard. That’s true for any game.
It was really hard on The Last of Us Remastered, and that’s a game we had finished and we knew exactly what the end result needs to look like.
And here [with Uncharted 4] we’re trying to push the boundaries of what this game can look like; and do realistic, real-time cutscenes; and trying to do 60fps is really hard.”
Druckmann was quizzed if the team is targeting 60fps for Uncharted 4, He said, “I don’t know. The objective for us is just to make the best experience and right now we’re trying to push the look.
Then we’ll see where we’re at and re-assess. We’re constantly making choices throughout production of what’s going to make the game feel best and look its best.”
He further goes on to express that PlayStation 4‘s technical abilities compared to PS3 is “actually pretty amazing, to tell you the truth.
There’s things that have been issues in the past that aren’t issues at all right now. And it’s funny because how quickly you forget that used to be an issue.
That being said, just like every piece of tech, what Naughty Dog does is we push the limits to anything and everything that’s in our eyesight, in our reach.
There’s always limits on resources, but all the problems that used to exist are gone. We just have a new set of problems now,” he concluded.
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End will be available sometime this year for PlayStation 4.

Making Uncharted run 60 fps is easy: make graphics worse. We need good gameplay, not good graphics.
30fps is still good gameplay…
No, it is very bad.
How is it bad when we have had 30fps for a long time. Pretty sure you can live with it a little while longet
You’re right. Uncharted has just been terrible because it hasn’t ever been 60fps.
Yes, every game prior to last gen has been very bad because of 30fps.
“We need good gameplay, not good graphics.”
Um, you made no sense. They ARE taking gameplay over graphics, which is why it is not 60 fps. How did you miss the entire point of the article? This is 2015….they aren’t going to just make the game look all kinds of shitty like Call of Duty so you can enjoy 60 fps.
You have no idea what you are talking about then. Higher FPS means the game is smoother and more responsive, a better gameplay. They can achieve that by simply making graphics worse. They dont want to do that cause idiots buy only good looking games.
Quoting you: “They arent going to just make the game look all shitty so you can enjoy good fps” Good fps= responsive and better experience.
So you want good graphics at the cost of gameplay? You proved my point yourself. If these consoles cannot sustain tolerable fps with newest graphics they need to lower these visuals. Not make gameplay bad by having bad frames.
Yeah, its better with 720p with 60 fps.. It’s nothing better than a smooth game!
If they make the graphics worse, they may as well make the game on Ps3. Achieving 60 FPS game play, plus amazing graphics, is what’s going to make this game a truly Next-gen title. Not sure why you are worried about good game play, Naughty Dog delivers nothing but AAA games, and they make their games look really good to.
Meanwhile PC gaming has had 4K at 60fps for at least a year now.
A game is there for entertainment. You don’t need to have good graphics to enjoy a game. Minecraft is a great example of this. I’d rather have a 1080p game with 30fps if It’s an enjoyable experience.
Whose PC?
Cool, have fun playing Uncharted 4 on it.
most of nintendo first party titles for wiiu are 60 fps and smash is 1080 and 60fps as well as others. so is not imposible, is just not the focus of your team.
They’re not as graphically intensive though.
i know, that is why i said that it all depends on the focus of the developer, graphics or framerates.
You are clueless, I’m afraid. Nintendo has been way behind in hardware specs since the N64. The PS4 and Xbox One use a much better processor, GPU, and memory than the Wii U. If you don’t know anything about hardware, don’t assume.
You do know that better hardware means better frames in games. Exept if settings are too high. If the game runs poorly on great new consoles, they are trying to run too good graphics on this hardware.
i think you are clueless in the action of reading, since you didn’t understand my comment. i know the wiiu is the weakest of the bunch but i just said that is not imposible to do 60fps since a weaker console is able to do it. and i didn’t assume nothing i stated a fact.
Just lower the resolution down to 900p.
But don’t f**k with the quality of the visuals.
I prefer the cinematic 30fps look.
