I am *NOT* thinking of a typical PC style graphic’s settings menu.

What I’m referring to is a simple checkbox that says 30fps and one that says 60fps and the 60fps toggle makes whatever visual compromises needed (predetermined by devs) for the game to run at 60fps.

This is for those who would choose 60fps over a loss in visual quality or those who would choose 30fps for an increase in visual quality. 

Please let me know if this is insane and why it would never work as I may be missing something here, but it sounds simple to me.

inFamous Second Son does that.

...When does that game ever reach 60fps? It was like 45 throughout when I played it. Unlocked, sure, but hardly ever 60.

As does The Last of Us Remastered.



To answer the OP, though, I think we need to leave it up to devs to decide if this is worth implementing. It requires optimising for two different ways of playing, which takes resources and time. It also may conflict with the way a dev thinks their game is best played. Ultimately, I believe in artistic control.

when did I say it does 60?

I think that just about every game should do it. Then I'd never have to deal with 30fps peasantry again.

TLOU doesn't change graphical settings to achieve 60fps.

It has a 30fps Lock toggle. The game doesn't hit 60fps, nor does this toggle change graphical settings.

but it has a toggle or check box like you mention!

The topic says 60. You said Infamous does "that," refering to the topic.
