Socom 4 To Run At 30FPS

If you’re a fan of shooters, you probably know that frame rate means a lot. Zipper held a developer conference call this morning and announced that Socom 4 will be running at 30 frames per second when it launches next month. While that is a perfectly reasonable level of performance, it won’t come close to touching Call of Duty’s average. There’s sure to be some CoD die-hards that scoff at that number but for me, more important that peak average is consistency. As long as it stays above 30 and doesn’t bounce around too much, it should be more than enough to keep the game running smoothly.

If you want to see for yourself how Socom 4 is coming along and you’re a PlayStation Plus member, you actually have access to the beta that’s taking place right now. All you have to do is head to the PlayStation Store to download the beta client.

  1. I played the ps2 versions, and thoroughly enjoying the beta. It feels like socom, and it plays like an updated version of the ps2 generations. Its just been made far more accessible IMO with the re-spawning etc. The maps could do with being smaller but there only 2 playable maps at the moment. The classic mode is good for hardcore fans, who want a challenge with no re generating health and re spawns.if the single player is like the previous games, then I’ll be quite satisfied with this as a proper ps3 Socom.
