They have it at 30 FPS. I love TW3 but I suspect a Warcraft 3 moment here. People, myself included, love the game so much that changes will feel out of place. Even if it's a smooth 30 I smell trouble. I went from excitement to hesitation really fast yesterday upon learning the 30 FPS cap. 

Knowing CDPR they'll fix everything in time but knowing their launches I have gotten myself into worry. At the very least the saves won't break but they could break a number of other things. My worry is my current playthrough will become a beta test for Songs of the Past. 

Thought?



Around the Network

Explain why 30 fps is a problem...

Is the gameplay deeply impacted by being 30 fps?

...no

Is the story impacted by being 30 fps?

...no

Is the over all playability of the game impacted by being 30 fps?

...no

Are you jumping on this stupid internet trend that anything below 60 fps is unplayable?

...yes

But please do explain why 30 fps is a problem...

...I'm waiting.



I mean 30fps would be awful... But it doesn't run at 30fps?

Pretty sure it has 60fps modes in PS5/Xbox. It's probably 30FPS RT mode and 60FPS performance mode like the current Witcher 3 release on PS5 is.

PS5 pro runs at 60fps in RT mode and 90fps in performance mode.

Switch 2 targets 720p 40fps handheld and 1080p 40fps docked if connected to a 120HZ TV.

Frame rate can impact clarity sometimes during intense or even normal combat gameplay.  It xan make a huge difference when fighting multiple enemies, though i need to play it to test.
