It's fucking sad that no one seems to care about framerates anymore.

This is THE FUTURE, I really wish every game was optimized for 60fps. It greatly enhances the gameplay in ANY game, esp online. Keep saying "who cares" and we'll keep getting games chugging at 25 fps.

It's not the end of the world, but framerate quality goes hand in hand w/ graphics quality. So it doesn't make ANY sense to comment on textures or resolution but NOT care about framerate.

Since console games keep getting more and more like PCs, they need to give us some control over the graphics vs. framerate at least.

 

It is no different than what happens in the PC realm.  To make amazing graphics with the existing hardware, sometimes framerate has to suffer.  Generally, people care more about the graphic quality than they do 60fps.  As long as the framerate isnt distuptive, it's fine.

If MGS4 had been locked at 60fps, I would knock Kojima for not pushing the graphic quality enough.

Developers are never going to reach a time where they don't have to make the decision on whether or not to increase the graphic quality and lower the frame rate because there will always be some sort of limit on the console or computer.

I give that post a 9.4.
