I know it's a design decision. A bad one. Zelda is a seamless, massively open world game on 7th generation-level hardware. It's trading off framerate for a larger more seamless world, something that directly, tangibly, and possitively effects gameplay. It's also already made sacrifices to the aliasing, resolution, and texture quality, is cel-shaded, and uses other means of lowering visial fidelity to achieve this, so there's not much else they could do to the game without making it literally not function. I can respect that design decision, as their hands were tied on that one and they made sacrifices in all areas technically possible to make it work. If R&C was an open world game on 7th generation-level hardware, I'd be forgiving of 30fps for it too. But it's not. If Zelda isn't 60fps when it's ported to NX, I will be just as critical, because it won't have the alibi on stronger hardware that it currently has on its weaker hardware. PS4 and XBO both ran MGSV at 60fps in an open world. NX should be doing it too with Zelda. |
It really doesn't affect gameplay. The only ones that seem to vocally care don't have a ps4 or weren't going to buy the game in the first place, but I can tell you right now that the core users that grew up on this franchise clearly don't seem to mind. And in an offline game where 60fps offers no performance edge, it makes total sense that insomniac would prioritize full HD fidelity as opposed to the twitchy hyper reactive controls that 60fps brings. There is -no- benefit to an offline game where controls were never an issue in the first place. I would rather take the Pixar like visuals any day, the key thing here is that it's 30fps CONSISTENTLY.
edit- and there's been a demo available at Best Buy for a while now. I played it and the frames per second never even crossed my mind, the game felt great
double edit (I've stated this in another thread)
charm>consistency>resolution>fps for single player games.
