Isn't 60fps versus 30fps more of an East versus West thing than a PlayStation versus Xbox thing?

No since there are plenty of JP developed titles w/ frame rate issues. On average though, I think JP developers 'get it' where as US devs just don't.

For the record, something that's visually amitious like G(ears)oW, I won't mind having a 30fps refresh. But games that aren't doing much visually shouldn't make that compromise.

Sure, I generally agree, though it varies by genre. I don't mind adventure games or RPGs at 30 fps... but fighters, puzzlers or racers demand 60 fps imo.

I tell you what, I rather play a game that had 60fps, smooth, no tearing and decent graphics than to play a 30fps with great graphics.

Hell I still play GT4 WAY more than project gothem, the main reason is 60fps. Gothem3 has nice graphics, but I dont get that sense of speed that I get with GT4.

people who support 30fps are just doing damage control. 60 > 30fps. End of fuckin discussion.

play forza and GT4 back to back, youll see the difference.

Yeah, I was at my friend's house this weekend and we were checking out some older Xbox stuff on his HDTV. We played Out Run 2 for about an hour. We had a blast. While that game has some frame stutters here and there, it's pretty much a rock-solid 60 fps, and looks fantastic.

Afterwards, we loaded up Forza (30 fps). Holy hell, did it look like garbage. We put in RalliSport Challenge 2, and all was right with the world.

Exactly. The problem is that a lot of these early titles are not demonstrating much onscreen worthy of a framerate downgrade.

There are some gems though. Enough for me to keep the system for the inevitable OMG experience. Ironically, the 60fps games on offer look the best IMO.

What'supw/that?!

Most launch titles are rushed, so framerate isn't indicative of the console's power. I just want developers to include the option to run at either. I won't mind a (minor) drop in detail for the increase in fluidity. If not, then delay games until they're done (read: 60fps).

In this thread, I've proven that 60fps can't be discussed withough 30fps lovers fucking it all up.

PDZ (just rented it) multiplayer has a pathetic frame rate. Hurt my aiming.

wow.. framerate = good game now?

Pgr3 is 30 and its georgous. Sense of speed is awesome, its fast and smooth.

I don't get it... shrug

It's not so much that a good framerate makes a good game, as it is that to me a game with a great frame rate is better than a game with rounder tires.
