Just because people have been told it should be? 24 can still look and play just fine, depending what kind of game it is and what kind of gameplay and aesthetic the developer was going for. This ignorant wave of gamers acting like frame rate and resolution are the end-all be-all of what makes a good video game really needs to stop, but only education can fight ignorance, and if they don't want to be educated, well... |
Recorded images with adapted, clear-cut and static layers cannot be compared to real-time rendering which responds to controller and directional input by a user in interactive environments. Especially if you're sitting up close, as is the case with a PC monitor for example. 24fps on my 32" display at my current resolution would be simply terrible. I don't think it's uneducated to appreciate higher frame rates, if anything, the more casual consumer cares a lot less about this and the ones who prefer higher frame rates are usually the more tech savvy gamers.
