Does it have the feel of 60?
Can't remember the last time I bought a Need For Speed game anyway.
Fuck EA.
Fuck EA.
I'm probably missing an U here but an anagram of Frostbyte is "Test for by"

Guess some more bad press can't do 'em any harm.

so weird... was nfs the run 30fps?
it's a weird thing to do just coming from a marketing perspective. PC is perhaps inordinately represented on community taste-makers like reddit and any issue like this always becomes a louder narrative than any discussion of the game's qualities. people who had no interest in your game in the first place will be mobilised against it in what's deemed an attack on their favourite platform's sensibilities. however unfair you might consider this situation, you sure as shit don't make decisions which will invite it without good reason.

We've had some misinformation floating around recently which is why clarification was needed.Originally Posted by Visualante2

Man, what a bummer. I remember we had "confirmation" the framerate would be unlocked on PC a month or so ago, really disappointing to hear this :\
thought they would have learned something by now
Won't pretend like I was planning to buy it, as Hot Pursuit bored the shit out of me after about 30 minutes, but wow. This just shouldn't be happening.
This really pissed me off, unbelievable....
PC games usually have an editable file that let you bypass the FPS. So it shouldn't be a problem for someone trying to achieve 60 FPS. This is usually and simply done just by opening up a file in Notepad.
Are the PS4 and One versions 30fps as well?
Frostbite certainly isn't limited to 30 fps on consoles or PC. This is a developer absolutely deciding to make framerate a lesser priority, which is ridiculous for a racing game, especially an arcadey racing game that is supposed to give you an exaggerated sense of speed.

I really dont see why they would do this on PC... makes no sense. What is the reason for this? Can someone fill me in?
I threw up in my mouth when I read the thread title.
Fuck you, EA.
Whats next? NFS with speed limits?

If there are only a few genres that 60fps really feels necessary for, the racing genre is certainly among them. I remember disliking PGR because of the 30fps limitation compared to Burnout: Revenge. No backwards steps.
Seeing how Criterion stuck their heads in the sand after the all the complaints about their shitty pc versions i will make the assumption that Ghost (criterion in disguise) will do the exact same thing,
they'll issue a BUT WE STILL CARE ABOUT PC GAMERS THOUGH! statement in about a month.

Maybe it makes no sense, maybe it makes sense, lol.
Seriously inconsistent framerate can kill competition in an online racing game...
Well NFS:The run was also at first 30fps locked, and EA got alot of bad critic for this. Is it the same developer that is doing NFS: Rivals?
Locked + Origin.
Where's that gif of the confused black wrestler(?)

How ridiculous. I was planning on buying this for PC since I'm in the mood for a racing game, but I am not going to play it at 30fps when there is no reason it can't be 60. I'll just go back and play Grid 2 or something
It's a frostbite 3 game, so someone figure out how to get the console open and use gametime.maxvariablefps 60 or more and see what happens
Old news but still awful.
Welp someone needs to find the hex address for the framerate limiter , LA noire style
Good test case for Origin's 24 hour refund policy though.
Wonder how EA will respond.

EA challenge everything indeed....even stupidity...
Wait so EA are making the same mistake twice? EA really are jokes. I really wish they didn't have a talent of snapping up good studio's. :|Well NFS:The run was also at first 30fps locked, and EA got alot of bad critic for this. Is it the same developer that is doing NFS: Rivals?
What a joke. Seriously, what an embarrassment. Shame.
I mean, how stupid of a developer would you have to be to lock a game's frame rate to 30 on a open ended platform?
i thought EA didnt want to be viewed as the worst company in america again?
Because of the way frostbite handles its netcode, a lot of it actually is FPS dependent due to its clientside nature. You can totally break BF4 and BF3's netcode by lagging a machine to 1 FPS. You can literally feed a guy for bullets for 5 minutes while he shoots nonstop at you due to his machine lagging behind and only calculating at one FPS. With that said, I can't imagine more FPS behind bad, only if it was worse than 30.Originally Posted by Felix Lighter
They made some strange design decisions at some point if some aspect of the multiplayer is dependent on the clients framerate.
That's just...whhhyyyy?
