Gaming - 60 FPS is Ideal - View Post

I've played games running at both 30fps and 60fps and I haven't noticed anything to convince me of the intrinsic superiority of 60fps. Some games look nice at 60fps (see most Nintendo games), but some look incredibly stilted at that high of a frame rate. For example, I had to bump TLoU Remastered down to 30fps because it didn't look right at 60, and Halo 3's cinematics in the MCC look really off kilter with the bumped up frame rate. Meanwhile, plenty look and play perfectly fine at 30fps, including every pre-MCC Halo game, Destiny, Far Cry 4, Infamous: Second Son, the Gears of War series, Alien: Isolation, BioShock & BioShock Infinite, TLoU, and Wind Waker HD (and these are just games on the shelf right next to me). I imagine if every game ran at 60fps, I'd get used to it, but I don't look at it as some sort of Holy Grail of Gaming like many do.


A lot of games lock the cutscenes at 30 fps, it looks way better. MK X is one: gameplay at 60fps, cutscenes at 30. You get smooth gameplay and don't get that soap opera effect in cutscenes.
