Makes sense with how insane the visuals are but the "cinematic" nonsense in 2024 is just dumb. Just be honest and say you're sacrificing performance for fidelity instead of pretending that lower FPS somehow makes the experience better by itself.

Also like Hogwarts Legacy they should add an option to uncap it for the people who would prefer a higher on average but inconsistent frame rate and cause it'd be interesting to see what the average would be.

I agree with this sentiment. Developers should be free to build their games as they please without undue criticism. There has been a major focus on 60fps this generation and I believe it has come at a cost of WOW factor visuals. Its great that we have games that target 60 but I think there is a market for games that focus on visuals, atmosphere and storytelling as a priority - and I'm okay with a 30fps target to achieve that.

There's also focusing on things that are CPU demanding resulting in that sort of target. As a PC Gamer used to over 100FPS I can't tolerate 30 any more in many types of games but am still all for developers pushing consoles hard since I want impressive visuals and improved mechanics and systems thanks to more CPU power.
