He’s right… the narrative this gen has been all about the p’s, fps be damned. XBO tried to say that even though PS4 had more p’s that they had the more stable (usually higher) fps. Very few cared….

Well 30 FPS is acceptable for puzzle, strategy etc. games. Detailed visuals are more important there. So it can’t be a requirement.
But it’s only acceptable for that.

“This console [Xbox One X ] will make it more possible for developers to drive the resolution and frame rate consistency than any other console on the market.”

When it was stated that having 60 FPS mandated as a standard would be great, Spencer said, “I will tell you, as someone that’s run a platform now for a while, mandating gameplay decisions is a bad place for a platform holder to go in.

Oh Philly, what art thou saying?
you promised us uncompromised wtf..now this?…or it was Aaron the leprechaun?

Translation: Phil has no clue about how he’s going to regain Xbox marketshare from Sony without having some great exclusive games of his own. He’s banking all his hopes and dreams on the idea that 3rd party devs are going to save the Xbox brand through gaining higher FPS on the One X.

He’s right, trying to mandate what developers do with their games is a bad idea. Giving options and letting them decide for themselves what’s important, to them and their user base, is the way to go.

So just make it a standard then everyone will completely understand that you never want to go back to 30FPS ever again.

Especially if you’ve had the privilege of gaming at or beyond 100FPS on a 100+Hz monitor. There is never a going back to anything less after that. I’ve stopped playing on my PC for quite some time now just so I can dull those senses back to accepting the 30-60fps range once again. Could not even pick up the controller for quite some time while gaming on my PC.

I would accept 1080p at a steady 60FPS on these consoles, but this 30FPS shtuff is just garbage and utterly unacceptable.

So much for the XboneX reveal being better than PS4 Pro’s. Because THAT was what haters complained about at the PS4 Pro reveal, how they didn’t mandate on 1080p gaming with better visuals.

With the One X, Microsoft took the party to give a neat upgrade to the GPU side, letting the CPU side roughly the same with a significant OC. They are focusing on visual quality, detail and resolution, because it’s what people see, they were impressed at the conference of the graphics. Talking about framerate is not as overwelming from a marketing standpoint, less easy to show at a 1000+ public.That’s why i’m a PC gamer, transparency, we know exactly what we have, how it run, etc.
