When Will the Frame Rate Standard Go Beyond 60fps?

So long as 4K is being dangled before developers likr the proverbial carrot, and the next big thing to slap on a game box before your competitors, you can say goodbye to 60fps let alone 120.

Personal note: those tv's they have in electronics stores with a sports match playing, and showing off the tv's 200+hz "fluid motion" crap, I always find those to be jarringly weird, even though it isn't really possible they feel like they're running smoother than real life, its hard to explain.

I think it has something to do with the difference between the way cameras capture footage and the way our brains effect how we percieve the world. High framerate cameras, as far as I can tell, don't capture or add motion blur. As far as I am aware, that's something our brains naturally add to fast moving objects in the world to help us comprehend them better, but since that's not the way high framerate video is displayed at all, its just flashing lights, our brains can't do that motion blur fill in, making everything look weird. Basically, if we saw the world the way these cameras capture the world, when you waved your hand in front of your face, instead of seeing a big blurry mess of skin, you'd see the very detailed and accurate movement of your hand rapidly moving back and forth with substantially less to completely nonexistant blur.

In a way, it sort of is smoother than in real life, because our brains can't cheat for us.

Oh! That explains why I like 60 fps in video games (where they can add motion blur) but it makes me motion sick with real life footage. I always get a really wierd uncanny-valley feeling when I watch streamers that stream in 60fps and I didn't like the 48fps of the Hobbit much either. Although I think I'm slowly getting used to it.
