Crackdown 2: Ruffian Aiming For 30 Frames Per Second

Crackdown 2 developer Ruffian games has revealed it is aiming for a framerate of 30fps in the highly-anticipated open world sequel.

In an interview with VG247, Ruffian creative director Billy Thomson explained that the aim is to keep tweaking the code until a constant framerate of 30fps is achieved.

“We will just keep hitting it until we hit 30. Because it does need to be a constant 30. As soon as we go above that, we need to stop,” he said.

Elsewhere in the interview, Thomson said that Crackdown 3 may feature an entirely new setting.

“When we go to Crackdown 3 things’ll alter again,” he said.

“But yeah, for Crackdown 2 it made more sense to stick in the same city, because it is pushing on from the idea of the Freak fires and how they’ve affected the city.”

“It’s not a case of doing it because it’s quicker. If anything it’s taken just as long to re-do what’s already there, because we’ve got to make sure we don’t break what we spent so much time getting right in the first game.”

No release date has been confirmed for Crackdown 2 but we’re assuming 2010.
