After the debut trailer of gen ATLAS — a new game by Fumito Ueda — an active discussion unfolded online. In addition to enthusiastic reviews and fan joy over the return of the famous game designer ten years after the release of The Last Guardian, many players noticed the unstable frame rate in the shown video.
Our team perfectly understands that certain moments of the trailer have not yet been fully optimized, so I am not surprised by such a reaction.
According to him, the main goal of the Summer Game Fest showcase was to introduce the audience to the world and concept of gen ATLAS, rather than to demonstrate the final technical state of the project. The developer emphasized that the team consciously decided to show the game at the current stage of development to give players an idea of its atmosphere and scale.
Ueda also expressed confidence that the studio's engineers, with the support of Epic Games, will be able to bring the project to the required level of quality. According to him, such technical problems are a common part of the process of creating large games.
