Naughty Dog team won’t target 60FPS for Uncharted 4 if it impacts the experience

Naughty Dog’s priority is the player’s experience, not the amount of frames per second you see on the screen. That’s basically what the game’s director Bruce Straley said commenting on Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End frame rates.

The team won’t go with the higher frame rate if that means sacrificing visuals that might impact the experience they want to deliver. As the Playstation Experience demo shown last year was actually running at a locked 30FPS rate, the game was running on a higher number however.

“We’re actually above 30, but we locked it [for the demo], 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.'”

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End takes place 3 years after the events of Uncharted 3 and is the last game in the series. It releases exclusively on PS4 sometime this year with no exact release date revealed yet.
