Can't help but quote this for great thruth.

Its a game, not a movie. The Hobbit movie is not a game. Its a completely different form of entertainment that does not require the viewer input. 

Well, as you can plainly see, the sprites themselves are not animated at 60fps or even 30fps. They have like three animation frames, so the animation is not smooth at all (technically, those running animations consist of like three separate sprites; all of Mega Man's animations in the original game consisted of 30 distinct sprites, not counting left-facing sprites and palette swaps). But when a 3D polygon-based model is fully animated at 60fps, it can result in the end product looking really janky and unnatural (see also The Hobbit at 48fps and the "soap opera effect" on TV). As I mentioned earlier in this thread this isn't always the case, as Nintendo's games on the Wii and Wii U often run at 60fps but look perfectly fine, but for the most part FPSs and other action games just don't look right to be at 60fps. The high frame rate in those sorts of games screws with my vision and just plain looks weird. I've played many shooters that run at 30fps (the Halo series, Gears of War, BioShock, and now Destiny) and it's never been an issue for me. 30fps is sufficiently smooth to me for a great many games. I know 60fps is treated as the Holy Grail by many gamers, and it's considered sacrilege for a developer or publisher to even suggest that 60fps shouldn't be the ultimate goal of all games (it's like a U.S. politician coming out as an atheist), but I don't really see the appeal. It seems to work well with certain games, including colorful stylized games like Mario and racing games like Mario Kart and F-Zero, but I hate it in FPSs and other more "realistic" action games.

I never said it was limited to Ninty. COD is another good example.
