Sucker Punch updates Infamous to add 'better framerate' option

At some point in the last week or so, Sucker Punch rolled out an update to Infamous Second Son and Infamous: First Light. If you have a PS4 Pro you can now play in "4K mode" (which is more like 1800P) which looks AMAZING but runs ~30 FPS or you can now use the extra power to improve framerate, at which point the game runs at 60 FPS with a few drops to high-50s.

I've always been kind of meh about this 60 FPS goal, but I''d been stuck on one mission where you're in a sniper nest, can't move and have to take out swarms of baddies. The other night I tried it like half a dozen times and died and rage quit. After flipping over to the 60 FPS mode, I beat it the first try.

Now maybe it was because I was coming at it fresh, or maybe it's the 60 FPS... I can't say for sure. But it at least has me thinking about frame rate in a more positive light.

There's been a lot of call in the fan community for more developers to use the PS4 Pro to increase framerate rather than increase graphics. I may be on board with that sentiment.
