A fantastic title. One of the best games of the last generation, and a great PC port. To anyone on the fence about it I'd say go for it, especially the PC version, it's easily one the best titles Sega have put out in years.
Such a good game. I've lost count of the number of campaigns I've played over the last few months, but yeah the first 'few' definitely didn't end well.
If you're going to pick it up and start playing, I'd really strongly suggest checking out the forums and grabbing one of the completely free map packs for a bit more variety in the crash site missions. Hooray for free mapping tools :)
@pnova Naughty Dog's own Lead Game Designer Kurt Mugenau seems to think it makes quite the difference: "Played some #TLOU at 60 fps tonight for the first time (60fps cutscenes and all). Transformitive. I’m a believer. Don’t think I can go back."
@Sevenizz Carmack has been saying 60fps should be standard FOR YEARS. Palmer was also talking about VR where if the framerate is low you'll actually be physically ill as it'll help onset simulator sickness
They chose to run it at 30fps so they can have more screen effects and action on screen at a time. It's a compromise they made for the hardware they're targeting. Had the hardware have been more powerful you can bet your ass they'd either be bumping it up to 60fps or trying to add more graphical detail in.
Any developer suggesting it was a stylistic choice is just lying to avoid saying we couldn't get any more out of the hardware for what we wanted to do.
@Bread_or_Decide especially when the only people commenting on it are YouTube personalities who mysteriously forget all about the explicit legal obligation to obtain permission any time they comment on it and just perpetuate a misleading narrative suggesting the law doesn't cover video games.
