I had forgotten how bad 30 FPS was...
- Thread starter ArnoldJRimmer
- Start date
For what it worth FH4 does have a 30 FPS high quality 4K vs 1080Pp 60FPS mode and I chose the 30fps as I can't really tell much difference. I'm one of the lucky one that doesn't get headaches though.
I'm currently looking for a new PC monitor and was thinking that it might be time to experience 120 hz gaming. But then I think about what that could mean for my console gaming and wonder whether I would be better off not knowing what higher frame rates are like.

Im not. Being a dick, im respo ding the couple of people that got defensive and acused me of copy pasta.
And if it take you an endless amount of time to choose from a single low fps and high fps setting. Then i dont know what to tell you.
30fps is bad and you guys should really stop accepting it. Baffling when people have zero issues with 30fps.
For a lot of games, it's not quite as simple as tweaking the graphics and resolution to get higher frame-rates. Some games are very CPU intensive or have things that are tied to their frame-rate or what not. That and most folk aren't really all that anal about framerates to begin with so there isn't much incentive there to begin with

30 fps is not silky anything.
30 fps is brillo pad smooth.
40-50 fps with variable refrssh display is silky smooth.
60 fps is buttery smooth.
120 fps is baby butt smooth.
And a 144 fps is the smoothest.
These are the proper labels. ;p
It makes me queezy playing at 30fps now. It's a shame too, because I'm missing out on a lot of classic game time, can't even touch an N64.
I mean I guess, but there are definitely a lot of games that tie framerate to game logic because it makes it significantly easier to predict/test. Decoupling game logic from specific units of time doesn't necessarily improve a game because it leads to instability in things that people take for granted in titles. (As for me, I tend to regard things like falling through the floor of a game as an amusing novelty more than a dealbreaker but as long as I'm writing a serious post I guess I ought to be open about the fact that I recognize this is not a commonly-held opinion in gamer culture since physics bugs are the one thing most people believe makes or breaks a game)
That's the same to me. After few minutes I stop to notice it or hardly I have any issue with 30fps.

I dont know anyone that still does this... except maybe some japanese games and fighting games maybe?
Not tying your game to the framerate is like game loop 101 things not to do.
You do indeed tie it to time. But not framerate.
Its not bad if the FPS is solid with consistent framepacing. And on PC i hear its much worse than on console for some reason.
Same here got a ultrawide x34 predator 100hz at 3440x1440 then going back to a 4K 16:9 30fps is a bit eh..
Probably several smaller dev games do, but I usually don't go out of my way to peek under the hood. I mean, sure, your triplaaaay stuff isn't going to tie time to framerate, but the triplaaaaay stuff isn't where I put my time or attention
This argument really doesn't hold water because a console game is not going to have all of the granular options for optimizing because the hardware is fixed.
What's overwhelming about a selector for prioritizing frame rate vs prioritizing resolution in a console game option menu?
If people can play the games themselves without being overwhelmed, that option shouldn't overwhelm people either.
OP

I go back and forth without a big issue. I understand and appreciate the difference, but never find myself caring one way or the other as long as it's stable.
Funniest thing about that? Most best selling games on consoles run at 60.
People who think PC gamers are the only ones who care for framerate are woefully ignorant.
100%
What Pro and X should've done for every game, frankly.

Does anyone happen to know if Lego Dimensions runs at 60 on the X? Not that I would splurge for one, but maybe I can borrow one from a friend. Since the line of toys is defunct now I don't think the game will get anything like a remaster or patch support though, so I doubt it...
I'm with you on this, and I feel like it's from growing up playing games with no attention on framerate. Back in the NES and SNES days, we didn't talk about framerate, we just said it has heavier controls or something like that. There wasn't a huge market flooded with games so we adapted and didn't complain because it's all we knew.
It isn't bad, nor is it baffling that people don't have a problem with it. We're all different. You hate 30fps clearly, but try not to point fingers at others with an "What's wrong with you?!" attitude just because they have no problem with it and even embrace it if it means better graphics.
Buttery Smooth 15FPS Star Fox is the only label I'll ever accept!

The funniest part was that he thought the game was still loading:
"Is the game is still loading daddy?"
Because some of the lego games we played were pretty old (and not super optimized on PC), so sometimes, after a level load ,the game would stutter a bit for like a couple of seconds.
So he thought the stuttery-ness/latency of 30 FPS meant the game was still loading!
Nah son, just 30 FPS.
Eh. it's not horrible. it just is. Frame pacing is much more of an issue than a consistent frame rate. I feel like if you can watch Into the Spiderverse, which was 15 frames per second held for 2 frames to make it 30fps, then you can play any locked 30fps game without issue. You're just being picky (which is alright, but no hyperbole needed).
Also, unless you want graphics/effects/LOD to stagnate, 30 will always be around.

Depends on what you're used to. I remember playing Uncharted 4 multiplayer (60fps) and then playing the horde mode (30fps due to CPU AI routines i guess). Its definitelly quite noticeable jumping between those modes, but personally, it took a few minutes to get used to it. I'm fine with both 30fps and 60fps for the most part.

Ignorance is bliss. Which is why I hope more eyeballs on 60 FPS will lead to more demand for 60 FPS.
I don't think an X would be good enough for you bud. You clearly have exquisite taste and love to tell people about them so why do it to yourself Ace?

Oh grow up.. We're talking about plastic video game machines. No need to get offended and throw a hissy fit.

No, we're talk about you and you son and how great your eyes are.
outside of FPS and Sports/Racing games, what top games are there that run at 60?
(i already know mario odyssey and pokemon)
OP
OP
Doesn't bother me at all really. Instability is more annoying as I can notice the frame drops.
I know 60 fps is objectively superior but for some games I quite like the "filmic" look. Please don't hurt me.

Arent FPS/sports/Racing games the top-selling skus on consoles? Maybe not so much sports this gen?
