If you go to the video, and set it to 60 fps (either 720p60 or 1080p60), and then move the video forward frame by frame by using the "." key, you will see that the game itself updates at 60 fps as well. There is really no doubt that the footage in the video is 60 fps, although you can't rule out the (rather unlikely imo) scenario where they transition from 60fps to 30fps.

did this, definitely 30fps

Preordered. Looks good. Damn good.

did this, definitely 30fps

I did this, too with the Polygon footage shared earlier, and it seemingly refreshed every frame except for a few places where it stuttered? Nintendo's Treehouse footage definitely is 30fps, though.

I'm kind of shocked I can't seem to find any tech analysis of this game on the internet from the big sites, given that people were able to capture direct feed footage of the game at E3, and the game itself caught a lot of attention. At the same time, I thought I remember watching a video that analyzed it and showed that the framerate was inconsistent, but perhaps I'm confusing it with another game.

This game is the only reason I got a Switch. Better lives up to my hype!!

whoa! What about Mario or Zelda!

 

[Dark Cloud]

Snowdrop seems to be doing serious work on Switch which bodes well for future Ubisoft titles.

Yep

 

[Icedburden]

This game looks good for what it is, but it just doesn't look like it's deep enough. I didn't expect xcom 2 mechanics-wise... but I want xcom 2 mechanics-wise. Not asking for that game, it's just hard to go backwards.

I enjoyed BOTW and will love Mario Odyssey but I wouldn't have bought the Switch this early for them.

The game just dropped to €45 at some retailers in France, Amazon.fr should pricematch soon.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

I have a very hard time believing this to be 1080/60.

I wouldn't have even considered it to be 60fps.

 

[LordKano]

It's definitely not 720p at the very least. Looks way too crisp for that.

 

[Glass Shark]

I generally prefer 60fps whenever possible, but for a turn-based game like this I don’t really see how 30 will be a huge detriment

 

[Reki]

So the rumors of a price cut could be true? Maybe preorders aren't that good?

I'm really looking forward to this, even though I'm not that big of a Mario or Rabbids fan.

On that Polygon video? It definitely refreshed every frame, which would be 60fps. Not sure what's going on here...

 

[Chasetopher]

30 FPS would be A-OK for a game like this in my book. Cannot wait! Only 1 month or so left now!

I checked some more footage,and every single other video I found was 30 fps. Maybe Polygon got some behind-the-scenes access, and played on a pc build of the game? It's the only explanation I can think of at the moment.

 

[Toadthemushroom]

I've seen this at a convention though I didn't play it since the demo was 20 minutes long and they only had four demo pods.

It was definitely 30fps, and appeared to be 1080p docked. Coming from the Mario Odyssey demo (720p60) the difference in resolution was tangible.

Is there any capture or display tech that sorta interpolates frames? I actually thought I have noticed that in BotW on my Samsung TV- at some points when playing it on TV it looks like it's running far higher than 30fps, and far higher than the framerate on handheld mode.

I wonder if whatever capture technology Polygon used has a similar type of interpolation mechanism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_interpolation - this is probably it.

 

[Thraktor]

did this, definitely 30fps

The video is definitely updating every frame. It's possible that it's interpolated from 30Hz to 60Hz, but that would be difficult to tell with a compressed YouTube video.

I did this, too with the Polygon footage shared earlier, and it seemingly refreshed every frame except for a few places where it stuttered? Nintendo's Treehouse footage definitely is 30fps, though.

I'm pretty sure all the Treehouse footage from this E3 was 30Hz, even the games which run at 60fps.

This game looks good for what it is, but it just doesn't look like it's deep enough. I didn't expect xcom 2 mechanics-wise... but I want xcom 2 mechanics-wise. Not asking for that game, it's just hard to go backwards.

We have no idea how deep it is, we've only been shown the first half of the first world. Being a Mario game it has to have a fairly gentle introduction, but if they're following the template of recent Mario platformers there could be some serious challenge towards the end.

 

[Arc Christelle]

looks fun, that soundtrack is Rare levels of boring tho.

 

[Fantastical]

If it's 1080p30 I'll be happy. It looks gorgeous and is not really a game I care about being 60 fps like Mario Odyssey.
