For Zelda like game I consider stable 30fps good frame rate. 60Fps is more important for games like Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Mario 3D World, NSMBU...


I definitely do not. Action adventure games don't get a free pass. 30fps is bad everywhere.

30FPS is bad everywhere!? So you are saying majority of games are bad beacuse of 30FPS!?

Are people really expecting a open world game to be 60fps? How many examples of that happenning at any console at all?

People here discussing a nonexistent game on the nonexistent platform. How I like it.

No, I'm saying that the majority of games are significantly worse because of 30fps.

It's a whole new generation of power, and let's not act like Zelda U is pushing the graphical envelope. If Zelda U is 30FPS, I see no reason Zelda NX with the same accets couldn't be made to reach 60fps. There were plenty of open world last gen games that were playable on PCs as powerful as what the NX will likely be. Just because consoles have shit standards doesn't mean it isn't possible.

Acting under the assumption that the PS4 is about ~5 times as powerful as the Wii U, then the difference could be 720/30fps for the Wii U version and 1080p/60fps for the NX if the NX's power is comparable to the PS4.

If the NX is substantially (but hopefully not severely) less powerful than the PS4, as is currently expected, then I would imagine that the NX version is 1080p/30fps with significantly improved textures.

With Windwaker being 30fps on the Wii U, I think this may potentially set a precedent that Zelda will be a 30fps game for the foreseeable future.

why did you start the post with that crazy nonsense?

It is likely more accurate to think of it as an NX game now. The Wii U version will be a dumbed down version of Zelda NX, and might not ever get released.

sigh. to assume nx is a home console AND that it's getting zelda U is already pushing it but to say zelda won't release on wii u, laughable.

Asuming NX is a home console AND that it will have Zelda U is a huge stretch. people should treat this as it is, something with incredibly low chances of happening.

1080p 60fps high quality textures and everything fluid and amazing and more polish

For starters: games on PS4 have ~5 times RAM available to games (Wii U = 1 GB, PS4 = 5 GB)

Then we have games like Trine 2, which renders ~9 times the data  (Wii U = 1280 x 720 x 30fps = 27.6 MPixel; PS4 = 1920 x 1080 x 120fps internally = 249 MPixel, similar effect settings). In other games the performance gap may be smaller, but probably not better than 1:4 or 1:5.

So ~5 times as powerful doesn't seem so crazy to me.
