Uncharted 4 to Offer Subpar Experience to Avoid Subpar Experience



Naughty Dog is adamant in making sure they follow in Ubisoft's footsteps. Uncharted 4 will possibly offer a 30fps experience because "We're going to do whatever it takes to make the game we want to make."

This is a contradictory quote as Naughty Dog has previously stated that they want Uncharted 4 to reach 60fps. This was most evident last June when Naughty Dog employee, Eric Monacelli exclaimed that they were targeting 60fps because it improved the game.

"We’re targeting 60fps for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, and as you can see, the visual fidelity for our character models will reach new heights. In fact, thanks to the power of PS4, right now Drake’s Uncharted 4 model is over double the polygons of Joel from The Last of Us PS3." said Manacelli.

This is following the recent trend of game developers releasing games with a lower frame rate than previously expected. The 30fps experience has been touted by multiple companies in the past year. Ubisoft has stated it is a better experience than 60fps.

Many PC elitist gamers have been up in arms about the topic, though the reason for this is anyone's guess as Uncharted is a console exclusive series.

We asked an employee to elaborate on this decision but could not understand him due to his foot being inside his mouth.

Uncharted 4 is currently set for release in 2015.
