Is it really that bad?

Why do we care so much about 60fps in slower-paced games that don't require quick reactions and precise timing? I mean we are totally fine with a movie being 24fps, but it's a big issue when a slower-paced cinematic game is 30fps? The logic just doesn't make sense.

    60 fps looks better than 30.

      Not always. just like how most movies look better at 24fps, a lot of slower-paced games look better at 30fps over 60fps

      Vast majority of 5th gen and 6th gen games were 30fps, and even a good portion of 3rd and 4th gen games were 30fps or lower. Only recently have zoomers had this adhd obsession with 500fps+ because they require constant stimulation with their dopamine overloaded brains.

        i had a samsung monitor bought in 2000 that ran at 75hz
        a lot of older games had high framerates or went as high as your monitor would allow
        then in 2008 i bought a 1080p monitor i seethed for months that it was only 60hz because it was noticeably more stuttery 75hz

        you're a sour grapes homosexual who's probably never seen above 30hz in his life and is coping, nothing new there's millions like you

          CRT monitors are smoother due to strobing which creates extremely clear motion. It has nothing to do with 60Hz vs. 75Hz and vast majority of games you were playing were probably <60fps moron.

    I don't care about 60 FPS in turn based games. It is, however, very very noticeable in action games. I'm not saying it's unplayable, but I wouldn't want to play it.

    Because its not being done for cinematic effect or for gameplay. It is being done because console hardware cannot handle running the game at 60fps

    Depends on what you're used to. If your standard is 30fps, you'll be okay with 30fps. I use a 144 hz monitor and everything below 70 frames feels stuttery to me now. It's kind of like how when you're used to shitty headphones then a 10$ headphone will sound normal to you, but if you're to good headphones and you know just how great they can sound, 10$ headphones will legitimately sound like canned garbage to you.

    Even 40 fps is a huge improvement in fluidity and responsiveness over 30 fps. I'd be more lenient if they targeted 40 fps, but 30fps is too low for the tech we have today. And I'm someone who 25-30 years ago was fine with 15 fps on something like Rebel Assault and Doom. We have to have some progress on all fronts, not just some.

    1080p: 60fps locked
    1440p: 40fps locked
    4k: Resolution for movies until further notice.

      I should also add there should be an option to unlock the framerate on all of these settings, but what is listed is the bare fricking minimum. So if you want to shoot for 1440p 60+fps, all the better.

        PC doesn't need a standard other than, "does it stutter?" Assuming devs follow that baseline console standard, you should be able to play games at 4k 60fps fine.

    Problem is that making a game look pretty in screenshots will always sell more copies than the game running 100% smoothly so devs won't bother optimizing well enough for consoles and PC players will bruteforce good performance or lower the settings into the dirt

    There's a difference between 24fps in film and 24fps in video games. The reality of 35mm film is that it can capture effects like motion blur naturally so a frame could show movement. A frame rendered in a video game is a still image so 24fps is actually 24 disjointed images. Yes, some games could implement motion blur effects into them, but those are more cpu and memory intensive than just rendering more traditional frames. The end result is that the more frames a video game can render, the better and smoother it looks. This is all a moot point, however, because the human eye can only see 40fps (20 in each eye); hence the term 20/20 vision.

        people had nausea and hated when movies ran at 48fps. It's the same way for games. I oftentimes lock slower-paced third person games to 30fps because it just feels too fake and weightless when they are high fps.

    60 FPS means, in almost every single case, that the game polls your input 60 times per second, lowering the response time between button press and action. It also means higher temporal resolution, allowing you to see more frames of the same animation or movement, which means you can react quicker and miss accurately. It's objectively better than 30 FPS, on a pure mechanical level

    However, it's not the most important thing when it comes to games, and stable 30 will feel better than choppy 60. But you know what's less important? Fricking graphical fidelity. I'd rather play a game that looks like OG Half-Life at 120 FPS if it's a fun game, than play a game that looks like real life and is boring. I'd also rather have neat little details, like working mirrors or side content, than a higher graphical fidelity. And it's also easier to create assets for a "worse-looking" game, so games wouldn't need to cost 70$+ and be genetic by decree to maximize the broadest possible appeal, just to break even

      No, not really. In reality, consoles are just laggy pieces of shit and the improvements gained from the games running at 60fps are oftentimes extremely minimal even compared to 30fps PC games.

        But that will depend on multiple factors beyond just the hardware configuration. Signal latency, the game in question, the firmware, background processes the user might be responsible for, etc. A better test would be the same game on PC vs. console, using the same controller, and both from a fresh start. Especially when it comes to games that might introduce perceived lag due to animations. A simple 2D game won't have any of that, typically

          lmao, a console will always find a way to have excessive input lag.

          Why'd you use two seperate games for your example...?

          the input lag issue is PC vs. console much moreso than framerate. Push (console) devs to care about input lag rather than just framerate.

          60fps already has the capability to be extremely low input lag with clear motion (such as from BFI or CRT strobing). But then you have these games running at 200fps+ that have worse motion clarity and worse input lag than a lag-optimized 60fps game on a CRT.

          Lag-optimized 60fps on a strobed display is all you need or ever will need, so work on achieving THAT first.

          The console versions of a lot of PS5 games have had higher input lag than other version
          Like for whatever reason Guilty Gear Strive had 2 extra frames (60fps) of input lag if you played the PS5 version instead of running a PS4 copy on PS5

      I don't think graphics matter in a strict sense, but presentation does. World detail, lightning, textures, they can all help make a vision happen, that doesn't always mean pushing the graphical envelope but sometimes it does, it depends on what the game is trying to do.

    30 fps has high input lag.
    I've been capping some games to 48 fps, even though I can run it maxed at 60fps most of the time, just so the frame times are smoother and I won't ever get stutter. It's great.

    I can tell the difference between a mouse moving at 144hz compared to 60hz.

    While a game running at 60 is OK compared to 144 FPS IMO, but still noticable, 30 FPS feels like my eyes are crying out these days.

    I remember 3 years ago when every console gay was out of their minds and was against 60 FPS even though it was in titles like COD and then had their eyes opened this generation when the machines were finally not underpowered and could run almost every game that released much faster compared to Gen 8. You guys sure got used to it fast.
