Naughty Dog explains why Uncharted 4 will run at 30fps

Naughty Dog revealed that Uncharted 4 will run at 1080p and 30 frames-per-second in single player. This, Uncharted 4’s co-lead designer Anthony Newman said, is to ensure they can make the best game possible.

“We had a really long, involved conversation about it with all the leads and directors,” Newman said. “We just realised that, for the game we wanted to make, to make the best game possible, [30fps] was just something that we had to do.”

Naughty Dog said that while 60fps was possible, it would drag development out and could even impact the overall story.
