| VersusEvil said: What always makes me laugh about the 30fps debate is everyone’s is pretty hyped for a game (that they’re seeing being played in 30fps) and enjoy what they’re watching ….until someone tells you it’s 30fps then it’s “unplayable” 🤣 |
Probably because the gameplay they were enjoying was on a demo PC running at 60fps+

You're comparing a racing game to an open-world RPG? wat... They require different priorities in resources. |
Forza Horizon is an open-world racing series. From what I've seen of the outside sections for Avowed (which isn't a lot), it seems less open-world and expansive than Forza Horizon 5.
They also chose to strip out the strict class system and a lot of the class specific elements from Pillars of Eternity, to streamline the gameplay into this jack-of-all trades quick-changing and fast-paced style game; less RPG elements, no huge or expansive open-world-- seems to be mostly sectioned-off areas with most gameplay in dungeons --not one of the most impressive looking games over halfway into the generation...
So where are those resources being prioritised exactly? Given when this game was announced and how long it's had to cook, you'd think they were still working on a budget.

For Starfield it made sense. It's actually impressive they were able to work in a half-decent performance mode at all.
For Redfall it was absolutely egregious. Just like it was egregious for FFXVI to have a performance mode that was nigh unplayable even with VRR (which also doesn't work as well on PS5).
When games seem to emphasise fast and dynamic gameplay, just like pretty much every Avowed gameplay reveal has so far, there's no excuse to not be made with a 60fps benchmark in mind given modern technology standards. And considering how much marketing was made around the Series X being the most powerful 'next-gen' system (during that bygone age when all these games were announced), it's just embarrassing that their first-party titles keep dropping the ball on this.
