It's 2024. 720p internal resolution to get 60fps is unacceptable.

30fps is unacceptable.

It looks like shit. It's looked like shit since the PS1 era.

1080p 60fps is the bare MINIMUM ALL games should aspire to, unless you're some indie game that has intentionally lower poly counts.

It feels like devs are making the decision to target 30fps and it's just WRONG.

If you can't render your image at 1080p 60fps then your game engine and assets are TRASH and you need to do better. Modern hardware can do it. I promise you.

Get your game to 60fps 1080. Jesus.

After playing games at 4k 60+ fps anything less looks dated. 1440p is ok at best when it has to be dialed down. 1080p...lol. Looks like potato cam.

For anything except the Switch, 30fps SHOULD be unacceptable.

The switch is excused, because its a weaker system whose main draw is its handheld abillities.

There will always be some cost to a smaller handheld device, but atleast it doesnt mean a flat out worse game nowadays.

Id also accept it for the Series S... but i dont think its acceptable for the ps5 and Series X. Have it as an option? sure i guess if someone really wants 4k, but these systems are so powerful that 1440p/60 or 1080p/60 not being an option... is unacceptable to me.

Honestly, always depends on the genre.

Tactical RPGs and FPS are not the same.

Whilst i do agree with this, in my experience thats more important for fps above 60.

...or atleast it is for me. I can see 60fps in slower games, and 120fps in faster ones..

120fps in slower games though... thats a bit more iffy.

I haven't played a PS5 game in 30FPS since I got it. Seems to be the norm is giving the two modes and I'm fine with that

Honestly, I don't care what the genre is. I prefer 60+ no matter what. DQ11 and Persona 5 looked glorious in higher frames. I just love the way smooth animations look period.

Nope. Every console is always like look 60fps! At the beginning, and then they push the hardware to where they can only do 30

30fps is fine for the vast majority of games. You nerds need to find something else to be upset about.

I am sure it is actually pretty cool. I am just giving people shit.

But I don't get too concerned as long as there are not dips.

I mean truth be told, I could play a 30FPS game with no problem. I just strongly prefer 60+ lol. I don't deem 30fps unplayable and wouldn't even say it ruins my experience. I'd just say "meh, wish this was 60+," then continue to play lol.

For me its definitely on a game by game basis.

I think frame timing is the word or something?

Watch Dogs Legion is NASTY at 30fps, but damn near everything i play on my switch works just fine.

Sometimes theres an adjustment period but its usually not too rough.

Tbh 30 only looks like shit if your normal is 60+. Most of the games I play are in the 30 range so I have no issues with it. 60 feels luxurious but not necessary.

Now, I do think that in the future 60+ will become the norm because that's just the way technology goes. 30 fps will go the same way as SDTV

The funny thing is, 60fps USED to be the default. The standard.

NES, SNES, Genesis games, those were ALL at 60fps in North America. Super Mario World was 60fps.

PS1 and N64 introduced stuff at 30fps and even lower. But everyone was so impressed with 3d graphics at the time that they didn't mind the lower frame rates.

I wish more games would have the 40fps option.

Looks good on the steam deck to my surprise.

Its kind of like saying do you think we'll ever get to the point where pixel graphics are unacceptable
If the game is designed with the frame limit in mind, then it looks fine

I don't care about low fps if it is consistent.

A consistent 30 doesn't bother me at all. A 60 that occasionally dips will bother me.
