Really ridiculous news. :\

60 fps fix has been found, Apparently.

Playing racing games at 30 FPS is like walking through Disneyland blindfolded

Strickland · (11-18-2013, 04:25 PM)

Next Gen the definitive version.

kudoboi · (11-18-2013, 04:25 PM)

It plays great on PS4.

That one is also 30 fps so no difference there. It's disappointing, I'd bet someone could patch it but EA has been putting out quality ports the last few years so there must be a reason it's locked to 30.

EA: "how do we stop winning worse company in the US?"

well for one, you stop pissing off the kids that know how to write scripts to game those polls.

FACE · (11-18-2013, 04:26 PM)

Shameful.

Dat Mantle opti...oh wait, never mind.

Marauder Shields · (11-18-2013, 04:26 PM)

That's disgraceful.

Does NFS:R run on Frostbite?

Tagyhag · (11-18-2013, 04:28 PM)

Tagyhag confirmed for not buying their game.

Also, their excuse as to why it's 30fps is stupid because another game had a similar problem and its frames were unlocked. (I believe it was a Test Drive title).

Volotaire · (11-18-2013, 04:28 PM)

Wait, why?

Felix Lighter · (11-18-2013, 04:29 PM)

Locking the PC framerate to 30fps for a racing game makes absolutely no sense to me.

The Mantle renderer hasn't been released for BF4 yet. It's definitely not implemented in NFS Rivals.

Hero_of_the_Day · (11-18-2013, 04:29 PM)

How are you so consistently shitty, EA?

These next-gen computers are so under-powered. What were they thinking?

Nightengale · (11-18-2013, 04:30 PM)

Truly, the game where everybody loses.

Dan27 · (11-18-2013, 04:30 PM)

I guess this is what some meant by saying that the PC and PS4 versions looked and ran the same..

synce · (11-18-2013, 04:31 PM)

Can't this lock be bypassed with a hack or would it break gameplay?

Sub_Level · (11-18-2013, 04:31 PM)

Isn't this the type of thing that the PC community can fix in like 5 hours or less? Or maybe I'm thinking of locked FOV/locked resolution.

ArjanN · (11-18-2013, 04:31 PM)

Just put your money toward Bugbear's kickstarter, that'll most likely be more fun anyway.

Pretty sure it's locked at 30 there too. At least on PC there's a chance some community member can unlock the frame rate. Although I would assume there's a good technical reason it is locked.

NFS appeared on the slide for games that will get the Mantle treatment, pray tell what's the point if the thing is locked at 30fps?

Kerub · (11-18-2013, 04:32 PM)

Why does this happen? What's the reasoning behind it?

Sometimes but it complicates things when it's an online multiplayer game. Mods that unlock the framerate could very well get you banned in many cases.

Nozem · (11-18-2013, 04:32 PM)

Durante plz

dampflokfreund · (11-18-2013, 04:32 PM)

No problem, the human eye can't see anything higher than 24 FPS either way!!!

Maybe? But there isn't any reason for it to exist in the first place.

Well, you are consistent at lest, I'll give you that.

avcables · (11-18-2013, 04:32 PM)

Just $2 per frame. Welcome to next-gen, where the game prices don't rise but neither does the FPS.

It's an online focused game though. They intentionally locked it's framerate, so I think EA might ban people for modifying the code.

isn't this game a online only experience or something?

I'm not sure, as the cards Mantle supports should be able to max it out as is.

Make the system more powerefficient and cooler if it's using less resources?

Zombie James · (11-18-2013, 04:33 PM)

That platform parity.

LiK · (11-18-2013, 04:33 PM)

That's a shame.

MutonCommander · (11-18-2013, 04:34 PM)

Need for Speed Rivals confirmed to be a gigantic flop on PC then. As if being locked to Origin isn't bad enough.

cyberheater · (11-18-2013, 04:35 PM)

Hilarious.

Frostbite hotness at 30 frames a second. I really hope EA doesn't completely ruin that engine. Compromises left and right when they try to use it in every game possible.

Zushin · (11-18-2013, 04:36 PM)

Fucking EA man. Trying their hardest to get off everybodies shit list huh?

Seems accurate to me.

Zoned · (11-18-2013, 04:40 PM)

Why the fuck have they locked it on PC? totally disgusting.

Snkfanatic · (11-18-2013, 04:40 PM)

Sigh...I was really interested in this game after reading impressions. Guess I will buy when I find it cheap.

Terbinator · (11-18-2013, 04:40 PM)

It looks like ass anyway.

Yeah, same here. "Was" being the key word.
