Bloodborne Frame Rate Targeting 30fps Since It’s “the Best” for Action Games, Claims Producer
October 27, 2014 Written by Alex Co
While we already reported that Bloodborne is targeted to run at “only” 30 frames-per-second (fps), it seems we now know why.
In an interview at the GameStart gaming convention last week withBloodborne Producer Masaaki Yamagiwa, we asked him what the target resolution and frame-rate was for the upcoming action-RPG. Yamagiwa noted that while they “haven’t made an official announcement yet but they will probably go for 30fps since that’s what they found to be the best fps (frames-per-second) to play action games.”
Yamagiwa added that “from the beginning, they weren’t targeting 60fps because it’s not first-person shooting, it’s an action game.”
like I said in the AC:U thread, fps and res are small potatoes. with the extra horse power, it only makes sense to blow the extra resources on game play mechanics - the very same thing Sony did last gen for the PS3. this allowed the worlds to become larger, more interactive, and alive. this is where you could clearly see where competitors had trouble keeping up and where you would also witness the true muscle from the platform.
now, if res and fps is all that deems a platform next gen, then we might as well have a PS2 type experience in 4k at 120 fps. its a lot of wasted resources if you ask me, which adds nothing new to the next gen experience regarding game play.
How high are you right now?
Very comparable imo and it runs @ 60+ fps.
That looks awful. Get your eyes checked.
Why aren't you playing in 4k?

No, they don't look terrible. And I'd even say the second one looks really fantastic.
No, he is right. Seriously, get your eyes checked. Those like like s***.
Those pics were bait to expose people.
3k downsampled to 1080p with 4 x smaa.
But I need my eyes checked? Lol
Well I said 4k. It doesn't look super sharp, so that's why I asked. I know you're rocking a Titan, so I figured that would get it there with no problems.
Still looks bad. The geometry on everything gives it a dated look. From the janky looking rope, everything super low poly, the meh textures and the old last gen light reflection in the first pic (where it looks like glow in the dark Vaseline rubbed onto the wood).. etc etc.
Didn't look good. Just my opinion, which isn't worth much, but I don't think I'd ever mistake that for a next gen on any day. And it certainly doesn't look comparable to Bloodborne.
Bait for what ? Sorry fella but it would take a lot of Mods to make DS2 look visually impressive, and that is coming from a huge DS fan. From what we have seen of Bloodbourne, Bloodbourne >> DS2 downsampled from 3k & 4xsmaa. There is only so much a bit of AA and downsampling can do and that is tied directly to the quality of assets from the start.
You know exactly what I meant. Ugly game is ugly. I know you have a DS boner, and that is fine, its a good game. But a graphically impressive game it is not.
The environments alone in BB are substantially more detailed than DS2. All the resolution in the world wont change that.
That's about as accurate of a comparison I can make.
Look at that thick sheen of a lighting effect. I was going to say it reminded of the low quality effect that they use in Morrowind for when you enchant armor/weapons.. but that would be a little bit TOO spot on.
I stand by what I said its comparable.
Neither look all that imo.
A opinion which can change when I actually play BB.
Well you can believe whatever you wish, but even from these terrible screengrabs from a poor quality youtube vid shows that BB is way ahead.
Look at the lighting, shadows, textures..etc. BB is exactly what it should be, the next step up from last gen.. The only thing your pics have an upper hand with is AA, and that it is be expected when downsampling from such high resolution and adding other AA methods to boot.
Why is this discussion about graphics anyway ? it is supposed to be about that last-gen FPS.
