Support NeoGAF

[Any Questions]

Hi folks. Am booting up the PS4 after a month or 3 off line and..... Honestly 30fps is gank.

Love bloodborne and on NG+2 but after months off games and streaming TV with the better half.... 30fps is pants.

Totally adore the fact that consoles are sub £300 but HONESTLY. With such a low price bracket.... Were lucky to play such great titles at 30fps. Just.

But it's crap. Uncharted 4 30 fps confirmed. Don't give me life cycle improvement crap. Devs are pushing to the max.

It's a sad lament when tech exists which can demolish our expectations but will cost £100 more over 5 years yet we clamour for sub £300 pound consoles cos fuck you the man.

Makes me wonder over the steam machine... Yet more tosh or a shining beacon....

Oh well back to NG+2 and with luck the better half will have another wine.

Comments welcome....

Would the public destroy a PC console?

Would you buy one if supported by devs?

Yeah I have one.

Why were you expecting £1000 PC performance from a £350 console?

 

[Anarion07]

I really doubt that 100 bucks more will buy you double the framerate

 

[Akronis]

It's harder to market high framerates than flashy visuals. It's a design decision like everything else.

Solid, 33.3ms frametime is playable as fuck, even on some PC games.

It's a little late for this discussion my friend.

Glassed planets have bad records.

 

[NeoFaff]

You could wait for Platinum to put out more 60fps games with ps2 environments.

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

You're not gonna get high-end PC performance from a 2013 console.

Yes, we have plenty of them. What's this about dashboards?

30fps is a developer decision, not the fault of the console.

Maybe it's cause English ain't my first language, but... WHAT?

I thought this was a Free Mufasa thread

If you're hoping to have an informative, respectful conversation with the members of this forum, you might want to use a different tone next time.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

What

 

[Mesoian]

I mean...if frame rate is that much of a deal breaker for you, you should have built a PC.

Sorry?

 

[bananafactory]

.....

I uh

Well

 

[Mahonay]

Lol. Perfect.

 

[Newtype-001]

Ah, the, believe , 30, 60, 100 >>> === ££££

Spoiler

Is that right?

 

[GeordieMark]

I've been at the pub too. Cheers OP!

 

[throwawayname]

Yes, I also can't wait for the new NHL season to start.

 

[opticalmace]

I don't understand the title. Is this some colloquial expression?

 

[jesu]

Playing Bloodborne drunk is quite impressive though isn't it?

 

[Symphonia]

You're drunk.

Go to bed.

 

[robotrock]

Is bloodborne really 30fps though

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

That's a confusing thread title alright.

 

[Anarion07]

200 proofs that 30 fps are unplayable

 

[JP]

Don't give me life cycle improvement crap. Devs are pushing to the max.

It's life cycle improvement crap, have it.

 

[Bl@de]

 

[PROh1bited]

So wait....you got a hands on preview of the PS4 dashboard? And it's 30fps?? Glad to know.

 

[Rival]

I guess don't play ps4 anymore then??

 

[Manu]

Sorry OP. I play games, not framerates.

 

[fluffydelusions]

You're drunk.

Go to bed.

Another excellent post to blogGAF. Keep us updated with your findings.

If you want control over your framerate, you need PC. All there really is to it. Console developers aren't going to stop targeting 30fps any time soon, and I actually don't want them to either. If a developer wants to push fidelity over framerate, then they have that right. I make the same decision on my pc games often. The pursuit of eye candy will always be a thing.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

I'm calling the police.

 

[antitrop]

Buy one of those TVs with MotionFlow or whatever.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

I understand the sentiment, especially after a week of MGSV running at 100+ fps at 1440p. But given that a PS4/XB1 is cheaper than than the videocard I'm able to run that on, much less the rest of my PC, I think you're probably asking a little much. Consoles are good-enough-gaming, and while it would be nice for a vocal minority for most/all games to run at 60fps, the reality is that a majority of gamers want the eye candy more than the framerate, so you're going to get an amazing looking game like Uncharted, but it's going to be 30fps. For a console that would make Uncharted 4 look like it does at 60fps, you're asking for consumers to spend more than they would likely want to.

 

[nOoblet16]

It's only 10pm here man, and it ain't even the weekend...but you seem ready to go to bed.

 

[Any Questions]

Bloodborne is scratchy as hell on 30fps. Love the game but heck.... LOOK.

Don't exect PC standards but why does Jo public think £300 over 4 years as value. Equals £75 a year for PPP (piss poor performance)
