Forums - Sony - Killzone: Shadowfall will be 1080p/30FPS

I honestly don't understand why developers don't get that 60 FPS is the way to go forward. I mean for so many years COD has been the game of choice for so many people because of its tactile response running at 60 FPS while other games such as Battlefield/Homefront/Killzone were all running at 30 FPS with this lethargic feel to them.

Come on people. The best selling game is running at 60 FPS, so why not do the same for your game. Gameplay comes before graphics always. With the new gen there really should be no excuse for not be running at 60 FPS constantly.

1080P 60 FPS has already been done on consoles.

is awesome. Yes there's lack of moving parts, and general things going on.

I'm never going to play killzone because I thought 2 was bleh. But I don't really know why anyone would have thought everything would have been magically 60 FPS. Generally most devs are going to pick extra effects and eye candy, over 60 FPS, and many have said so.

I personally would prefer, games are 60 FPS with dips instead of 30 FPS with dips. On consoles it's not the 30 FPS that's bothersome, but the fact that many/most of those games have areas that aren't 30FPS.

But I understand why it's never going to be that way.
You can market a prettier game that produces prettier screenshots. 60 FPS, doesn't appear in those, and takes a ton more power.



These pc elitists are getting desperate, first they claimed nextgen games would be only 720p again, now they complain Killzone is only 30fps, ps4 is a weak console that can't do 60fps now oh noez



30fps is smooth enough for me, I'm not one of those people who seems to consider sub-60fps unplayable. (Are these people Jedi or something?)

ps3 did 1080p @ 60 FPS...  There's not a whole that would claim otherwise, and if they did, it's wrong.

There are obviously going to be some PC people spouting nonsense just as there are PS4, WII, Xwhatever spouting nonsense.

If they can keep it at a solid 30fps it's fine, if you get 60 fps on a pc game on average it will have some low points of about 30 fps aswell. Here's an example, notice how most cards get 50fsp-60fps on average but at some points it runs at unplayable low framerates:

Besides i'd rather have 1080p@30 fps and more detail/effects than 1080@60 fps and less detail.
