NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4 has just been released on the PC and, as you may have guessed from the title, it is locked at 30fps. Not that it really surprises as this is another game from Bandai Namco that is locked at 30fps, however after what has happened with the previous part of the series (and Dark Souls) you’d exepect that Bandai Namco would have learned its lesson.
At least, and contrary to Tales of Symphonia, the internal resolution is not locked at 720p. No no. This time around we can choose between two resolutions; 720p and 1080p. However, PC gamers can enable 1440p and 4K via the game’s configuration files, so at least that’s something.
According to some Steam reports, here are the current issues plaguing NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4.
-30FPS Lock
-No V-SYNC (Can be turned on if edited config files)
-720p and 1080p resolutions in settings (Can be changed to 1440p or 4K in config files)
-FFXA
-No Supersampling (SSAA can be turned on in config files but doesn’t do anything)
-Some gamepads don’t work and some people can’t seem to play on Keyboard
** -Badly Optimized: Lots of people are getting slowdowns, crashes, low fps, sound not working (also voices can only be heard from left channel at the moment), stuttering and even game in a different language
And that is that everyone. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4 is yet another title from Bandai Namco that has not been properly optimized for the PC.

Yeah but its 30 smoother then revolution
if you go on steam community on this game you will see all them naruto fans defending this and blaming you for not having an high end pc to run this garbage….
Weeaboos, man. F*ckin weeaboos.
Damn weeaboos!
b-but muh ninja cartoon
yeah, steam community is s**t, this happens with all the games. god forbid if you say something about a game’s performance, specially about japanese games.
not naruto fans, bell-ends that happened to stumble upon high-end PCs
i’m a naruto fan with a high-end pc but experiencing the same lag and other bugs
lol at pc game locked at 30fps how many is that now?…lol
1? Maybe 2? You tell us.
more then that
How many?
lol a console game that cannot even manage a locked 30fps, how many is that now?.
you again here to troll?
His point is valid. So is his question, expect an answer would be hard because there are so many console games that struggle to maintain 30fps.
Now, how many PC games are locked at 30fps?
lol not falling for it so you think you can troll…bye bye…lol
Just like every other game “locked” at 30fps, NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4 is not a PC game, it is a console game designed for *up to 30fps* consoles by console centric developers.
The game will likely be officially patched or modded to run at higher framerates just like all the rest are while console gamers are stuck with -^30fps.
So how many PC games are locked at 30fps? I cant find a single one. I can however find console ports that used to be locked at 30fps.
No not me, I am simply wondering why you would care so much about this piece of sh*t game “only” supporting 30fps when so many console games don’t even manage to deliver a 30fps experience?. In fact I would go as far as to say that 70% of all big multiplatform games don’t even manage 30fps. You know like 18fps Assassins Creed Unity, 15fps FallOut4, 20fps Witcher3 and so on and so forth. 😛
Seriously why is 30 the min fps, it should be 40, the difference b/w 30 and 40 are substantial. Why couldn’t they lock it 60, why is everyone so incompetent or lazy to change the logic to accommodate multiple frame locks. And why do devs still tie their game speed to fps in this day and age. *sigh*
on a free-sync and G-sync monitor i find 42 or more frames just fine
Somewhat true and i bet some really can be picky about lower frame rates but i don’t mind 40+ myself all about the game man
I think so it doesn’t look like it’s superior to the console versions.
I don’t know why you are saying that cause when my GPU cannot handle 60 I usually lock it 40, most of the time 40 feels smooth whereas 30 is an absolute stutter fest. But there are exceptions, the Tomb Raider reboot for example stutters at anything below 60. I really don’t understand how 40 could be worse than 30 to you.
On second thought, it might be cause I have laptop with 40hz and there 30 feels like a stutter fest while 40 is pretty damn smooth.
Myabe, I prefer to stick to 40 over 30. But when I can, I will always aim for 60. The devs should atleast give more than 1 lock, multiple locks at different frames would still be better than a single lock if they are unable to program for variable framerate.
Not in tomb Raider though. 40 works better with this game because the pure sync better at 40 than 30. It stutters in the hair if I lock the framerate anywhere below 40. I don’t get any stutter at 40 (in the hair). I usually play 3rd person games at 40 and high DSR, and FPS 45.
30 for me nowadays is kinda of really slow. I remember playing the first Crysis back in the day at 30fps, and be like “I don’t understand that 30/60 non sense”, but now I guess I do. ^^
I have to mention I have a 780m Sli, and I play max out 1080p tomb raider at 40, even though I get some stutters because the Vram usage is over the top. Regarding Naruto, this port Is so bad, I just don’t understand. Why, why, why. Is there any sli profil for the game I could use?
another bad port???? pc gaming is dying…
yep
refund… don’t defend this crap…they force you to purchase the console version.
WTF Bandai Namco.
Naruto fans are both rabid zealots and blithering idiots, which is why they’ll keep buying these and defending bad products.
I’m a naruto fan and I hate these games…….
Congratulations on being one of the sane ones.
Why thank you very much sir 🙂
HVD cant afford proper gaming, so he troll a pc gaming site. but dont worry guys… deep inside he know the true
and Dark Souls… worst PC controls EVER!!!
Nope. I played, and finished, DS with my KB+ MS, but I can’t say the same to DS II
Stop blaming Bandai, they doesnt have any PC team. we should glad they port it to PC.
Like i said i love G-sync and free sync i think this makes gaming at 40+ frames more enjoyable also thanks for the article
it was always going to sell well because the other one did and this one is much better. It’s got zero to do with Denuvo.
Yeah But Denuvo has a “crack” something me and my friend are using we bought the game together (5 People Steam Share max) and we all play together by shared library 4 people offilne steam and 1 online just have to know where to look.
This is not crack of Denuvo. You are just exploiting Steam sharing. Still, game needs to be bought and cannot be pirated so Denuvo is working as intended.
Yeah as malware that doesn’t get removed even when you uninstall the game.
It has to do with DENUVO. Because since it has not been cracked people have to buy it as it is the only way to play it. Same goes for just cause 3 ffia 16 and all the big games that will be released on pc from now on. Tomb raider 2013 was fully cracked day one and evryone could download and play it for free. However in rise of the tomb raider case only people who will buy it can play it. Becauseo f that meny people who pirated the previous tomb raider on pc decided to buy this one. So Denuvo works.
It has NOTHING to do with Denuvo stop defending this BS! “I don’t believe I ended up agreeing with WrATH!” Yes probably a few “pirates” ended up paying for the game but this number is insignificant!!
f**k off with denuvo re*ard. spaming it in every comment. hey witcher 3 sold 1m in a week and it was a drm free game or dakest dungeon, it sold 700k, more than twice of what tomb raider did in the same time.
You have no evidence what so ever that Denuvo attributed to more sales, but keep trying,
hey denuvo guy, here:
XCom 2 = 400k sold in day 1 and have 130k players online. cracked.
ROTTR = 300k in a week and have 26k players online. loluvo.
funny thing is, xcom 2 was not a free bundle and some of TR’s numbers are just the people who bypassed and abused family share with it. + TR is 10% cheaper.
I have no performance issues, but the only left channel voices are really annoying. Half of the story cutscenes are extremely lazy, they use still images from the anime…
Another unacceptable port.
Wow why is NB doing garbage PC ports again? I thought they were starting to do good… But now locked frames again? lol WTF
I think theres some kind of aggreement between bamco and console maker to dumbed down pc version
lmao
You cant admit when you are wrong, it shows how little you are.
fyi some would consider this harassment i told you im not getting in to it will you ill report if you do it again
f**k off and report him, you little s**t.
what up kid how is school? on your uncles account again?…lol
ROFL… Please, go ahead.
If you are so bothered by people replying to your dumb posts then why bother posting in the first place? No one likes you here anyway.
I already read it, I assume I feel 40 is superior probably due to a laptop with 40hz so its smooth, I really can’t stand 30 fps too much stuttering for me.
And I always lock my fps using Dxtory. Hate Vysnc.
Keep the second-rate console garbage on the consoles. Do it right on PC or don’t do it at all.
