14 DAY TRIAL // The Crew, the upcoming online racing game from Ubisoft, runs at a solid 30fps instead of a "flimsy" 60fps due to its huge open world, according to developer Ivory Tower.
The Crew is one of the most ambitious titles set to debut this fall, with Ivory Tower and Ubisoft promising to deliver a huge open world set in the United States of America that allows players to race from coast to coast and to engage in great events in big cities like Chicago, Miami, and more.
The game is currently in a closed beta stage on the PC platform, but the final version is also set to appear on PS4 and Xbox One, where it runs at a 30fps framerate.
According to Game Director Stephane Beley, the decision was due to the huge open world, as it wouldn't have been able to keep a stable 60fps at all times.
"Building such a massive playground and filling it to make it a living-breathing world requires a lot of resources," he tells GamingBolt. "Our choice is to offer the most compelling gameplay experience possible and for that, we preferred a solid 30 FPS rather than a flimsy 60 FPS."
The Crew has impressed quite a lot of people so far and it's going to be interesting to see how the game perform when it's released this fall across PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
