That's the way it should be for all games. From now on 60 fps is the new rock-bottom minimum. We've had enough potentially-good games ruined by 30 fps just because the devs were too afraid to sacrifice graphics.

People don't even know what's good for them most of the time. Devs should stop giving in to the pressure of misguided fans who have almost never experienced 60 fps and still think 30 fps is fine. Most of the time they're only saying that out of fanboyism because the context of the console wars forces them to want a focus on graphics and/or defend 30 fps exclusive games no matter what.

I can guarantee that people in here think that wanting to move on to 60 fps is a direct attack on Sony (because of Uncharted, The Order, Horizon, etc....)

ocelot073191d ago

Why would people think that? A comment like that is just bait. I would imagine most people by now will know why 30FPS is still a thing on consoles. It's mostly down to the crappy CPU both the PS4 and Pro and Xbox One and soon Xbox One X has.

The CPU was an ok/cheap option back in 2013. But in 2017 it's simply a poor CPU. No if or but about it. No magic DX12 chip the XOX CPU apparently has (some people seem to think on here) is going to change anything. No massive optimization from devs are going to help much. A crap CPU is a crap CPU.

This game will run 60fps on all platforms, and will have better visuals and effects on X1X. It's not an i7 CPU, but it will do an impressive job non the less.

"I can guarantee that people in here think that wanting to move on to 60 fps is a direct attack on Sony (because of Uncharted, The Order, Horizon, etc....)"

Both Uncharted and Horizon were loved by fans and critics, that should tell you that 60fps is not as important for most people to enjoy a game, it would be nice to have all games be 60fps, but it doesn't make it a bad game if it's 30fps, and stop acting like only Sony has games at 30fps, the highest rated game of the year Zelda Breath of the Wild is 30 fps and it even dips lower in some places..

Timesplitter143191d ago

It's not that only Sony has 30fps games; it's just that not enough people care about xbox to defend its 30fps games

Destiny10803191d ago

you can play all your games at 60fps on pc

LA_Zeo3191d ago (Edited 3191d ago )

I'm not much into "FPS" but Drive Club runs at 30fps and that game can't be beat graphic wise so using the word "ruined" I have to disagree with. I didn't give you a down vote though.

Timesplitter143190d ago (Edited 3190d ago )

fps is about gameplay, not graphics. What I'm suggesting here would be sacrificing those "unbeatable" graphics in Drive Club in order to reach 60 fps and therefore turn it into a better game

60FPS on PS4? That would be awesome! 😍

Fishy Fingers3191d ago

Assume he means all platforms.

Matrix63191d ago

How many other racers run at 60fps?
GT Sports would look even more amazing at 60FPS, it'd be beautiful more so 😍😘 If only.

Kane223191d ago

@Matrix6
GT Sports is in 60fps..........

Fishy Fingers3191d ago (Edited 3191d ago )

All the ‘serious’ racers run at 60fps (with dips if not locked) including GT Sport (should make you happy), Forza MS, Project Cars, even Dirt 4 I believe.

It’s pretty standard for the competitive. It’s only the ‘arcade’ racers that put show before go that run at 30 (DriveClub, Horizon).

chris2353191d ago

but...but... i wasn't exactly thrilled with project cars. what are they expecting in terms of sales figures for another one? i highly doubt they will be satisfied with the numbers. maybe it would have been wiser to create a new game instead, drop the boring parts and implement some actual gameplay fun. 60fps in a bore is still a bore.

NapalmSanctuary3191d ago

The gameplay was great if you had a wheel. From what I understand, they fixed the controller issue with this one.

Liqu1d3190d ago

They already confirmed they're running sub 60fps at times so clearly 60fps isn't the bare minimum.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing14d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9214d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit14d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing14d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9214d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
