There's going to be an unfortunate trend of faux 60fps modes just to avoid twitter backlash.

Looks at recent FFXVI demo where the quality mode capped at 30fps is objectively the smoother experience but they've thrown in a "performance" mode to make people feel like they've been given options. The terrible thing about that is people are actually picking & playing in the performance mode and wondering why things feel weird.

 Nah quality mode was chunking up badly for me just standing in a room moving the camera. It felt better playing in performance mode. Neither was super smooth. Also, It has nothing to do with recent Twitter drama. Demos of games are always several-month-old builds. Demo's themselves take a while to make. We already know now the demo is an older build than what SE was showing in April. So we don't know the actual performance of the final game yet.
