Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan has just been released on the PC, and unfortunately it appears that this new game is locked at 30fps. Yeap, you read that right. Similarly to its console cousins, the PC version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan is locked at 30fps.
At the time of writing, there is no way to fix this issue, and there is no mod that enables 60fps. Whether a modder will do what Platinum Games should have done in the first place remains a mystery.
Still, it really puzzles us why this PC game is locked at 30fps, especially when most – if not all – of the other games from Platinum Games were running at 60fps. Okay okay, it should not as this looks like a basic console port. Still, it is really disappointing witnessing such framerate locks – for PC games – in this day and age.
Naturally, this isn’t the first time that Platinum Games has done something really ridiculous. When Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was released, it supported resolutions up to 1080p. Thankfully back then, Durante figured out a way to unlock higher resolutions.
So there you have it everyone!

wow seriously, again?
These licensed Platinum games sure are something lackluster huh?
I’m guessing this is just to fund their own stuff.
Yes, but it was a sequel. New IP was Wonderful 101.
Now in between these licensed ones, they are working on Scalebound and Nier: Automata.
I actually have pretty high hopes of Scalebound coming to PC, hopefully to steam but will buy even if it hits the Win store,
I think it was confirmed already, wasnt it?
Vanquish 2 as well, most likely. Either as a 2016, or more likely as a 2017 title.
That would be great if it comes with Vanquish 1.
So long as they throw in Bayonetta too!
Vanquish has a chance at least, Bayonetta I can’t see happening sadly
True 🙁
A lotta people liked Transformers, and that ran at 60 even on consoles (PS4 & XB1 at least, not sure about 360 and PS3). Don’t know why they f*cked this one up so badly.
They didn’t “f*cked it up”, just rushed it.
They absolutely f*cked it up. Outside of the 30 fps cap and other technical shortcomings, the game is getting panned by reviewers across the board. It fails to live up to Platinum’s pedigree & the TNMT license, and is an abject failure in every possible way.
As I’ve said, rushed job. Just like Korra and the Transformers last year.
Licensed games, I don’t know what people where expecting.
Platinum = their IPs.
Transformers was considered a success, most people liked it. This and Korra are two of their only bad games, that’s called f*cking up, are you really this dense?
Chill out chum, we’re just having a chat. :v
I’m just saying, since they where know as Clover, only now with three licensed games people are seeing rushed jobs coming from them. The relative success of Transformers doesn’t even compare as their previous/original IPs.
Yeah, but without a liar on the top chair.
is this the 3rd or 4th game that got fps locked on pc..lol
You do know some hacker will unlock the fps on PC but the game will be stuck at 30 fps on consoles.
i thought they use “MODS” to but yea i know.
In computing, a hacker is any highly skilled computer expert. Depending on the field of computing it has slightly different meanings, and in some contexts has controversial moral and ethical connotations. People who make these Mods are basically hackers. A game developer can also considered a hacker.
The only reason they lock games is to make you sad console lovers feel better. They usually unlock it a month or two later when you all find something else shiny to stare at.
Not surprised because the game is also available on the PS3 and Xbox 360, and gameplay was probably designed for 30 fps so that it also works on them. What these out of touch developers didn’t realise is that barely anyone buys games on the PS3 and Xbox 360 these days and they should have released the game on PC, PS4 and Xbox One only and have the game running at 60 fps.
Transformers and Korra where on the PS360 aswell. Both 60 FPS on PC.
Then I don’t know WTF were they thinking locking this game to 30 fps. There is absolutely no logic to this.
I would say this one was more of a rushed job than the other ones.
One game each year? Yeah, this is purely for funding.
isn’t this a hack and slash like other Platinum titles? if so 60 fps is very important here. shame on Platinum.
See, this is the sort of game people should complain about not being 60fps, not turn based RPGs.
I bet this will sell more though because pc gamers seem to have a fetish for Platinums overrated games.
Even if it was 60fps, those are some terrible turtle designs. 90’s TMNT all the way.
Everything is overrated, didn’t you get the memo?
No, they’re overrated.
Yes memos are overrated.
You got it already.
Yeah, if you’re an unreasonable spoiled little child.
I would take it further, I work very hard for my crap minimum wage and 60fps at anything lower than 1440p resolution is an eye crime on my pc. Don’t judge those you know nothing about!
What the hell does your wage have to do with anything?
Sympathy Street is that a way —–>
No actually, I’ve been experimenting with 30 FPS locks on PC.
It doesn’t work like on consoles, it always seems more stuttery-like no matter what I do.
Use MSI Afterburner to make sure you’re getting a consistent 33 ms frame time, that’s usually the culprit.
I did got those locked, messed up with nvinspector half refresh rate and adaptive vsynch aswell, also tried motion blur implementation to see if it helps, but still found it not smooth.
Everything I’ve researched still didn’t give me satisfying results, it never look as smooth as on the consoles.
So were spoiled because we expect games we pay for not to have a frame rate cap on a platform with potentially unlimited power? Go home console peasant, you’re drunk.
Nice
I Heard it’s made by people who were responsible for Legend of Korra, if true then it’s short and bad and of course locked frame rate for a “Fast Paced” H&S action game.
This game is a hot mess. Take out the 30 fps lock and its still not a very good title at all. It carries the Nickelodeon label, which makes me think its part of some deal they struck w. them including Korra. I wonder if Plat is big enough that they had their “B” team working on this while their “A” team is focused on Nier and Scalebound. Either way stay far away from this game unless you are a TNMT superfan. I watched the series as a kid, but even that wasn’t enough of a nostalgia boost to get me to endure the game. Action is confusing and the control scheme is convuluted, with many buttons serving multiple functions in a screen cluttering mess.
Graphically even at 1440p and max settings is pretty bland, it honestly looks like they reused a good amount of assets for the citry from Transformers Devestation. Overall though its just kind of bland. Add the 30 fps lock on top of all that and you get the turd cherry on top of a stinky cow manure Sunday.
Overall I hope this is an aberration for their licensed properties and not a sign of a new direction, because TNMT is a long long way from great games Bayonetta, Vanquish, or MGR:R. sigh, gonna load up some turtles in time on Mame so I can remember what a good Turtle brawler looks like.
This game is apparently racist towards a smooth, fluid gaming experience.
On one hand, Platinum puts out gold like Bayonetta and Vanquish, then on the flip side they put out LJN-level licensed games. What a dichotomy.
Brah, xenophobes hate 60fps.
It is however the best TMNT game and best action game of the year!1
Only 2 days left until relese! Yes!
What, the 60fp patch?
Jesus Christ, why, WHYYYY
Didnt think platinum games would fail so hard ok pass
Can I at least get a Superman game from them?
