The Last of Us: Remastered offers optional 30fps lock

MCV Staff 16th July 2014 Business News

PS4 owners will have the option of locking The Last of Us: Remastered to 30fps, developer Naughty Dog has said.

Community and PR bod Arne Meyer told an audience at an event attended by Eurogamer Spain that players will be free to toggle between an unlocked 60fps and a locked 30fps.

With 60fps being the far superior option why would a game offer this? Typically only if it struggles to maintain a smooth 60fps. When this happens and framerates fluctuates it can cause image stuttering and it may be preferable to lock a title at a steady and reliable 30fps.

That was certainly true of fellow PS4 title Killzone Shadow Fall, for which a 30fps lock was introduced post-release via a patch.

InFamous: Second Son also offered the same option.

The Last of Us: Remastered will be released in the UK on August 1st.

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games.
