The developers talked about the targeted FPS numbers for Monster Hunter World. PC gamers were somewhat shocked.
For all games that are released not only on consoles but also on PC, the frame rate is always a critical value. How well will the game run on consoles? Does the game achieve a solid 30 frames per second on consoles? And what about the PC version of the game? Is it just a port of the console version, throttled to 30 frames per second?
In general, modern computers can render significantly more frames than consoles, whose hardware must last for several years. While PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are often capped at 30 FPS, PCs easily break into the triple digits.
On Twitter, a community manager from Capcom caused confusion by stating “We are aiming for 30 FPS on all platforms.”
The colleagues at PC Gamer then inquired with Capcom and requested clarification, as PC owners were quite upset.
“The comments regarding the frame rate referred to the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game.”
The producer Ryozo Tsujimoto has also clarified to PC Gamer that the PC version of Monster Hunter World will not be “just an outsourced port.” They will ensure that the game is optimized and fine-tuned for PC.
For this reason, Monster Hunter World will also be released later for PC. They want to take the time to make the implementation as good as possible, adapting the game to the specific conditions of the PC.
In general, they are now almost at the point in the development of the game where they have completed the “general gameplay” and will soon begin to make optimizations and adjustments to round it all off.
The monsters in Monster Hunter World react dynamically – this creates strange situations!
