Sucker Punch explains inFamous DLC frame-rate boosts

Eurogamer :

"In our recent inFamous First Light performance analysis, we made an interesting discovery - the standalone DLC runs noticeably faster than Second Son, with an overall 12 per cent boost in frame-rates in the like-for-like test we've reproduced below.

We wanted to find out why - did the smaller scale of the title help to increase frame-rates, or had Sucker Punch optimised the engine? And in addition to that, assuming that the developer had streamlined its engine, would we see those enhancements rolled back into the original game? We reached out to Sony and Sucker Punch for comment in the wake of our results."

Mmm, well, half the city was absent, not to mention no DUP bases and no high-light conditions (draw-distance).

Their explanations were interesting, yes, but nothing mindblowing.

Looks much crispier for sure, but lack of fog makes the LOD pop-in a bit more noticeable.

Pefect example of how with more time and optimization games can get closer to hitting the 1080p 60fps demand.

Forn4282d ago (Edited 4282d ago )

While still pushing visual effects ;-)

geddesmond4282d ago

Yeah. Every generation the first 2 years of games are always closer to last gen than this gen. Look at RFOM compared to resistance 2. Huge difference. All it takes is one clever fellow to figure out a new trick and share with everyone else an there you go.

Jughead34164282d ago

I think we will see more of this as developers get more and more comfortable with the hardware, similarly to the performance boosts the PS3 received over time.

llxKonanxll4282d ago

I thought First Light looked better than Second Son.

Xsilver4282d ago (Edited 4282d ago )

me too but don't tell no body :3

SgtSlaughter2124282d ago

I think the linked article already spilled the secret ;)

cell9894282d ago

Prime example of what optimization can do with more time allowed. Evolving the infamous SS engine is a continuous process, Sucker Punch are not sitting on their laurels

They really need to

Go off the evil ending off Second Son

Delsin absorbs all those powers

Revealed he’s the real Beast and John in Infamous 2 was just an anomaly created by timelines being messed with by Kessler.

Cole vs the Real Beast

gold_drake681d ago

quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.

chicken_in_the_corn680d ago

It would make more sense to go off the evil ending of 2 and the good ending g of SS where Cole is The Beast.

Cacabunga679d ago

Doesnt make any sense calling second son 2 as infamous 3..

OtterX680d ago

Ha, yea Delsin was obnoxious.

I wouldn't mind another new character, but somehow bring Cole into the story.

We can just pretend like Delsin never existed. :)

thejigisup680d ago

Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown

neutralgamer1992680d ago

Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5

RaidenBlack680d ago

Umm ... how about this?
First we get the Tushima sequel(coz its most rumored)
Then a new Resistance (need new PS SP FPS)
Then a totally new IP (new IPs are always interesting)
And then a new inFamous?

Pepsi_Man3000680d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx680d ago

Can we also get a complete remaster of InFamous 1 and 2?

fr0sty680d ago

Gimme a new Warhawk and MAG while we're at it.

DivineHand125680d ago

I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.

DazaMc680d ago

The graphics were amazing, I got the platinum on that one. Very good.

ChasterMies680d ago (Edited 680d ago )

If I had a choice between another Infamous game and another Spider-Man game, I choose Spider-Man. Sony should spend its resources on its winners.

Tacoboto680d ago (Edited 680d ago )

Infamous was such a winner its studio was given the freedom (after 3 titles + their expansions) to do a new IP with GoT, just like with Sly Cooper before infamous.

I'd welcome a 4th title even more than another Spider-Man, it'd be exciting what they could do with new powers fit for the hardware outside the limits of a licensed superhero game.

jznrpg680d ago

Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.
