60fps isn’t always best. I’ve played quite a few games in 60fps and even though it looks kind of neat, it really just looks kind of weird and slightly unrealistic how it moves. Screaming for a high frame rate will only lower the quality of games. 30fps is good enough, in fact movies are filmed and produced in 24p and are just fine that way. James Cameron toyed with filming in 48p and when viewed by critics, it had mixed reviews but most said they didn’t like it because it breaks suspension of disbelief.

In reply to DarthDiggler. With DC, all I noticed was a great playing game. The presentation is top notch for what it is. As for what should come 1st, graphics or fps, It's all about design for me. All I ask of developers is that they stick to their vision of what they want us to experience and ship the game when its done. Let us decide w/o the nit picking. I regard games as art forms as well and shouldn't be subjected to opinions of who I suspect are mostly PC gamers who happen to sometime game on consoles. Two separate cultures.

It does matter if they are going to push this “Joke” towards PC gaming. Ubisoft have already made a play to try force 30FPS with locking The Crew at 30FPS (Then backing down) and intentionally downgrading Watch_Dogs so it didn’t show up the heavily marketing PS4 version with it’s vastly superior lighting effects.

It matters when developers are lowering standards per generation instead of going higher with them because the hardware they built and designed is NOT up to the task

Well given that I don’t think you own a PS4 — what does it matter to you?

Go away ahole troll.

In reply to GHz. @disqus_Hm9v5ZNiwn:disqus Depends on the game and the developer. Everyone was b!tching about DriveClub being 30fps, but when you play the game you don't really notice it. If the developer gives you good controls and good gameplay the frame rate should be secondary. Sure people if asked will opt for 60FPS, but that is just based on the Bigger Is Better argument.

In reply to Guest. @Guest It depends on the game. We understand your shallow, uninformed opinion. No need to repeat it.

Up conversion isn’t good for gaming, it ads lag to your display which lags your input.

4K TVs are pretty terrible for gaming, none so far have impressive input delay.

It’s just his opinion, but given his position and level of access to the PS4 and its API, I have to imagine he is also sharing the opinion of Sony’s game division. Remember when Guerilla Games told us that having 60fps some of the time was better than having 60fps all of the time? 0_o

I still think we’ll get our cake and eat it too. We’ll still get Great looking games at 60fps. These consoles are only a year old and we haven’t seen nothing yet.

Anyways, for pple who game strictly on consoles like I do. Do 30fps take away from the fun of your gameplay? Do the game becomes less enjoyable when it drops a couple frames while you play? When you’re playing a game like destiny, DC, or FH2 with your friends, do you find that 30fps annoying?
