Unlocked frame rate increases response time of the controls....

Locked = Better image (no screen tearing) / Worst controller response time
Unlocked = Worst image (screen tearing) / Better response time

It is a trade in/out... advantages and disadvantages.

I prefer always unlocked even on PC.

Locked= Constant controller response time.
Unlocked= Variable controller response time that can be greater, same or less than locked depending on moment to moment framerate variation.

This update makes me happy, I was playing this two nights ago and the judder was driving me insane.

I'll never get why devs do variable framerates but at least include the option to lock it down from the start please.

Better response times from the controllers with variable framerates... better gameplay... that's why devs choose it.

Locked= Constant controller response time.
Unlocked= Variable controller response time that can be greater, same or less than locked depending on moment to moment framerate variation.

If it go below 30fps to have less controller response... it will go with locked framerate too.

If you have a game that is locked 30fps never going below it then you have only better controller response if you put it unlocked.

I prefer a game variable between 30-45fps than a locked 30fps but a long shot.

Second son doesn't have a dynamic lighting system, the whole thing is a cheat where they rendered a great deal of the way lighting and shadows occur in the world ahead of time, thus making a dynamic system impossible.

Well the next PS4 firmware update allows Twitch streaming. I was waiting for the 30 FPS locked patch, so now I think I am going to have to do my evil/expert playthrough live on Twitch!

I think these posts are April Fools'.

I prefer variable if it runs over 30 fps.

I have nothing against options, though. Bring on options!

Uh, no. Sony already said Twitch archiving is coming. Sucker Punch said they were looking into capping the framerate a couple of days ago.

What cha smokin?

What he quoted said streaming, not archiving.

 

[PaulExcellent]

Capped framerate as an option for an Infamous game?
WELP BUYING THE GAME BEFORE THE CONSOLE

Gotta support these devs. Damn.

 

[Saint Gregory]

My experiences have been exactly the opposite. If the framerate is variable then I no longer know what the timing is for my button presses. The console version of C:LoS was incredibly frustrating for that exact reason.

[Pimpwerx]

Wow! Those are three of the most popular requests. Pretty cool. Will they also start making changes to the final power? Maybe flesh it out better? Hell, I'd also like a New Game+ feature. But this update would be awesome anyway. PEACE.

 

[chadboban]

Folks in the console screenshot thread are going to be VERY happy about the no HUD option.

Well I didn't tried C:LoS but Killzone and BioShock Infinite plays better unlocked.

 

[hohoXD123]

Post-launch support. This is how you do it.

 

[Marvel]

Always wanted no HUD, I have so many awesome screenshots just ruined by it.

Sucker Punch doing work! gj.

 

[Unknown One]

Only thing missing now is NG+

Skybald said "Twitch streaming", not "archiving". Shin-Ra responded to what was actually written, not what was meant to be written. Nobody is questioning that archiving is coming, but that isn't what was written, lol.

 

[Fried Food]

I wish these FPS limiters could be added before I finish the games

Ooops

FIXED!

 

[luxarific]

Now this is a team that understands the power of the share button. Gamers are going to take about a million beautiful screenshots now and do all the promotion for them. All they have to do is sit back and watch.

 

[Shin-Ra]

I'm no mind-reader mayn!

 

[Saint Gregory]

Well I didn't tried C:LoS but Killzone and BioShock Infinite plays better unlocked.

It probably depends a lot on whether or not the game uses combos or timed reflex actions. SS isn't really that type of game either but it still was more distracting than I was expecting it to be.

I haven't played BI yet but I felt that Killzone looked better unlocked but played better locked down, at least IMO.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

HUD Off

If this means the annoying aiming dot will ONLY be shown if i actually pressed L2 and aimed.. then YEEEEEEESSSSS !

 

[Struct09]

I'll be done with the game by the time this launches, but glad to see they're adding these things

 

[Kuldar]

Cool cool cool.
Now Sony has to give us direct access to screenshoots and we are good.

 

[ChrisW]

Holy crap this is amazing, please don't be an April fools joke!

I really hope this comes within the next month!

 

[Vashetti]

Final power (

Spoiler

concrete

) needs improving.

It feels half-assed.

 

[Theecliff]

You could make the reticule disappear by meleeing and then not touching the right stick. Did this for a lot of shots I've taken, but it was a bit fiddly to get everything into position.

Thank god they we can completely turn off the HUD for shots now though! Makes life much easier and landscape shots that much nicer.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

If this is an April fools joke someone deserves a punch in the face.

Would you say they deserve a....sucker punch?

Spoiler

Probably beaten

 

[tensuke]

Oh, yay! I hope it's the entire HUD. Playing without it is glorious. Been saving another playthrough for when Paper Trail stuff is fully released, but I'll jump back in as soon as this hits if it comes first.

 

[BigDug13]

It's becoming harder and harder to justify to myself playing through a game on day 1 when there are patches that change or enhance the experience that come later. Still love this game, but I really hate this trend.

The $60 day 1 buyer gets a worse game experience in their playthrough than the guy waiting 3 months for the game to go on sale.

 

[mrklaw]

Will the time of day be a 'select from a few presets we've baked in'? Don't really mind, just curious.

And I hope that 30fps lock becomes standard on at least Sony first party games.

This trend of listening to consumer feedback? I welcome it.

 

[sajj316]

Nice .. I like the option for capped 30 fps on KZ: Shadowfall. It made the experience for Remote Play a bit better.

 

[Agent X]

The time of DAT option should be a great addition. I'd like to see it implemented the same way as in Burnout Paradise, where you can choose realtime (24 hours) or accelerated progression, along with an option to match the actual current time.

 

[BigDug13]

This trend of listening to consumer feedback? I welcome it.

On that part I'm happy with. But after Killzone, was it not obvious to them that things like "frame limiter on/off" needs to be standard in frame unlocked games? Do they not realize until after a game releases that one of the most gorgeous games so far this generation needs to be able to lose the HUD?

I really hope Sony is getting the hint here. But the experience was still cheapened for the day 1 fan.

Listening to feedback from retail buyers and making big changes to your game. That means you were a $60 beta tester doing a job to enhance the experience for the $40 penny pinching gamer.

 

[Respawn]

Thanks OP. Good to hear.

If April Fools then I cry hard

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Owwww this is good for someone like me who hasn't yet purchased the game. (Waiting for a sale, don't judge me).

Sadly if this was available at launch, it probably would of affected a lot of reviews since stuff like this was at one point, deemed impossible.

 

[dreamfall]

Neon at night, that what I'll be most excited about revisiting!

I love that they're adding these options, this is brilliant.

 

[Gaffercake]

I don't mind the unlocked framerate at all, I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth the game was and didn't experience any juddering.

Was the experience really that bad for the rest of you?

 

[Timu]

I've noticed judder from time to time.

 

[dmr87]

I tweeted them about this, I was not the only one it seems. Awesome to have devs listening.

It's really bad having an unlocked framerate when using Remote Play with the Vita.

 

[LiK]

It would be nice if they also added an ability to skip cutscenes.

 

[Certinty]

Awesome! Time of day is the only reason I haven't completed the story yet.

 

[Endo Punk]

Excellent. Really fun game and I'm glad SP are listening. Will wait for the patch before I go for the good playthrough.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Awesome. That didnt take very long.

 

[Loudninja]

So people can stop!

@dtyler56 @brian_fleming nah no April Fools... this one is legit

[Vashetti]

Can you guys all go over to the PS Blog and mention that the final power needs improving?

It's so half-baked. If enough of us make noise they will pay attention.

 

[Kiant]

Woo nice one SP.

 

[eso76]

I can only imagine this will make the game hugely popular in that next gen screenshots thread.

Wait..
