spemanig said: "Expect this norm to continue this generation." That's bullshit. The PS2, XB, and GCN can keep 60fps the standard, but 8th gen can't? 30fps is not good enough. Ever. Anywhere. Not on Xbox. Not on Playstation. Not on Nintendo. |
You might want to read more of the entire quote to see it in its true context...
"A lot of developers this generation are going for a higher resolution compared to 60fps which makes sense since it will allow them to add more post effects and do more on the screen at any given moment. In fact one of Sony’s own programmers prefers higher resolution than frame rate. Expect this norm to continue this generation."
All it's saying is that if having to choose one over other, higher resolution trumps 60 fps. It doesn't mean every game developed will be subject to this hard and fast choice. All it means that it you wanted to add more particle effects and/or increase the texture resolution and in order to do so will require to run a game at 30 fps instead of 60 fps, then so be it as long as the framerate isn't unplayable.
