Given how much games run a locked 60fps I prefer 30 locked. To me a fluctuating framerate is worse than a locked one.

Exactly.

The instability of the frame rate is the only issue for me. I'd take locked 30 over unlocked 60.

Unfortunately he is right about the industry going this way.

I blame those who moaned about resolution not being 1080p. Cheers guys for making devs choose res over framerate with your pathetic oh my god 900p bs.

And sony for jumping in that band wangon.

Framerate over res all day long.

How could the industry drop 60fps when it never adopted it? As a matter of fact, the industry will go towards 60fps and Naughty Dog will lead the way.


They will? Seems like Nintendo is the one leading as usual...


You are comparing Nintendo to Naughty Dog in graphics?


No...

Then how are they leading the way in response to ND?

Reading comprehension seems an acquired taste these days.

He talks about frames per second, not graphics.

stable 30 fps vs stable 60 fps, everything else equal
=> Of course 60 fps

stable 30 fps vs UNSTABLE 60 fps, everything else equal
=> Of course 30 fps

stable 30 fps vs stable 60 fps, trade off with visual fidelity
=> Depends on the game

All I'm saying is that they aim for 60fps from the outset, instead of getting halfway through before deciding.

It doesn't matter when you decide it. No matter what you choose you will make compromises during development. Fact is due to the 60fps goal they have to drop features. Don't you think they tried using AA in MK8? They tried and then dropped it for their noble goal.

It does matter cos there's a difference between a game that was designed from the ground up as a 60fps title and one where the original vision was downgraded halfway through to accomodate 60fps. The latter will be compromised, the former won't.

Gameplay > Graphics > 60FPS > 1080p

Dropping the latter two is no biggie in my books.

Game developers should just shut up and focus on making great games. Seriously from the bullshit "filmic' excuse that Ready At Dawn made for The Order's frame rate cap to this. I miss it when developers just showed off their games rather than creating this hype train and making absolute fabrications as to why certain features are not in their game. The Last of Us Remastered was infinitely smoother running at 60fps compared to it's 30fps PS3 counterpart as gunplay and aiming precision were all improved significantly.

I don't think the industry ever really embraced 60fps on consoles..

No kidding.


People on this site really believe that the PS4 is so powerful....

Reality is, like the xbox one and the wiiU, they were obsolete before they were shipped.


Yes but, the PS4 is still the most powerful console of all time...

 

Excluding the Steam machines, naturally. 

 

 

Fixed that little boo boo for you!

So after a totally crap generation where everyone was focusing on unimportant visuals and accepted sub 20 FPS gameplay. (even TheLastOfUs!)

How exactly can they drop 60 fps?

Good to hear that the industry is as dumb as always.
