hi,

I can't fully describe it but I'm used to playstation 3 30 fps titles, nintendo's 60 games and current gen games on pc with mostly 45-60 fps. now after so much time I finally got a playstation 4 and I'm kind of disappointed. for now I got only infamous second son and knack because of my nephew. playing those 2 games .. I don't like feel like I play a game. more like watching a movie without any immersion. I don't have this problem on ps3 or even zelda botw despite the constant fps drops. It's like my brain assosciate last gen graphics with low fps as a game but great current gen graphisc (infamous looks stunning) with a prerendered cgi movie. I feel the same with locking pc titles to 30 fps. 

well I hope I get used to it.. there is no other way around it.  

edit: I remember playing games with steam in-home streaming with 60 fps. but seeing those streaming artefacts, it felt more like a movie too.

Eh... Good games are good even at 30 fps. Bad games are bad even at 60 fps.

I've been dipping into old games in my backlog and started playing Sonic Colors. For some reason it just felt really odd playing a game like that at 30 fps. But after a bit I got over it. The biggest issues that will stop me from playing arent frame rate related.

My PC can actually handle this at 60 fps, I have tested it. But I rather play it on actual hardware for convenience and on my projector.

It's not really noticeable to me, maybe because I constantly fluctuate between retro and modern games with various framerates and resolutions.

60 Frames is a must for Multiplayer, 30 Frames is good enough for Single player games. We don't really need 60 frames when playing against AI Campaigns.

Yea I wish all games ran at 60fps but oh well :T

32K 240fps or nothing!

I can see what you mean. Turn down motion blur if they have that in options. I had to do that for Uncharted: Lost Legacy. Helped quite a bit.

I get that 30 fps isn't the best, but comparing it to a movie? That's too far honestly.

Last gen had so many games with frame rate issues. If I'm being honest, you may be viewing the past with tinted lens. Truth is we still see games with inconsistent frame rate, but last gen had it much worse.

Hopefully this helps people see why 60 fps is so enjoyable. We don't need 8k resolution or anything ridiculous for the next generation. Devs should start focusing on performance as well

I was thinking about that too. but didn't find that option in infamous.

well I have no problem playing games like that but if feels like somehting is missing, that little touch for real satisfaction.

but I have the same problem reversed. I saw about 2 hfr movies and both looked totally speed up. it was really hard to watch them.

I wish my tv had something similar to this. this looks for me like 60 fps. those entire trumotion stuff on my lg makes everything worse. so I have everything turned off and on pc / gaming mode

Honestly it sounds like there is more going on here than FPS. Maybe the fact that Knack was lackluster and Infamous lacked the same charm as the first two, but a SOLID 30 FPS has always been, and always will be fine.

60 fps is always better, but by your logic it seems like the compromises would make the game look too "last gen" for you.
