Renowned child-shamer insider on the other site Shinobi is claiming that Gears 6 is going to go for 60fps as opposed to a cinematic 30fps.

Original post.

Coalition is using UE5 for the game, and they're wizards with UE4 so maybe they found some optimization buried in it.

 

[Kilau]

inb4 "on PS5 Pro"

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Good luck.

 

[Elios83]

UE5 supports 60fps on consoles.
It has already been done, see Immortals of Aveum but it has an obvious cost.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Haveng most games this gen been 60fps anyway or have the option of performance or resolution.
This is good news

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Oh look, devs that understand current gen standards.

 

[Mobilemofo]

Looking forward to the ps5 release.

 

[Kiya's Guard]

Finally we'll get to unravel which decision from 5 was canon

 

[JohnnyFootball]

It'll be over 120 fps on my PC.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Entirely expected (by me). The Coalition have delivered on a technical level consistently.

 

[adamsapple]

Open showcase with Collection announcement "And it's available today"

Close show with Gears 6 trailer.

 

[Clear]

Oh look, devs that understand current gen standards.

Hamstringing every other creative ambition to meet an arbitrary frame-rate target is something I'd hate to become the norm myself.

We're not in the days of sprite + tile-set playfields anymore, there's too much variance attached to functionality for the trade-off to be always worthwhile.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Bravo at the coalition, this is the way !

PS : Hivebusters, IMO, was one of the first glimpses of what these machines can do, high -res, nice FX at a steady 60fps.

 

[Jaybe]

Hopefully the drop the open world skiff parts this time. And Kait.

 

[Chukhopops]

The MP part would feel horrible at 30 fps so it makes sense.

Wouldn’t be surprised if SP had a 30 fps option to squeeze more graphical juice out of it - Gears 4 had one for example.

 

[ChiefDada]

This is great news, if true. I'm genuinely curious to see how a 1st party 60fps game with Coalition fidelity performs across Series X and S. And yes, I will be port begging for a PS5 Pro version.

[Lucifers Beard]

Good, there is a likelihood that this means that it isn't open world and sticking to it's linear formula which I much prefer.

Despite Gears 5 not being a groundbreaking game, I had fun with it so am looking forward to this.

 

[adamsapple]

Anyone who hasn't, try Gears: Hivebusters.

Gold standard for DLC campaigns.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Gears would be stupid at 30.

I would rather they use UE3 than run it at 30 fps.

 

[ozz ex machina]

Very interested to see what happens with Gears 6. I feel like more open world is the wrong way to take the series. But I have a massive soft spot for gears so will always give it a chance.

Quite the statement since FROM / CDPR usually hold these pedestals.
Nonetheless I’ll take your advice and indeed play the campaign on your recommendation

 

[Perrott]

Hasn't Gears multiplayer been 60fps since at least Gears 4 on the One S?

 

[StueyDuck]

I mean... there's plenty of games proving a performance/resolution is possible.

It's only been HB2 and starfield that have shat the bed.

This isn't really indicative of anything to be honest

 

[Raven77]

Oh thank you! That is really what MS needs right now. Not a graphical powerhouse to win people over, but a slightly smoother frame rate!

That'll sell consoles! Whatch out PlayStation!!!

 

[Topher]

Not surprised. The Coalition has impressive technical chops

 

[lh032]

60 fps, ps5 pro exclusive feature.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

If it is really 60 fps then I am curious what Coalition were able to achieve. I guess without advanced lighting techniques? Because I don't see any hardware (aside 4090+) is capable of running it at 60 fps like.

 

[Embearded]

I hope they make it.
I have no interest in the game, but someone out there needs to prove to the rest of the developers that it can be done and releasing 720p raster games is not acceptable.

child-shamer? Elaborate.

He publicly shamed his own kid on Twitter for being racist. "Batman's black! You like Batman, don't you?"

 

[Iced Arcade]

Not surprised with the coalition.

Amazing studio, now hopefully they get rid of the hip kids and back to Marcus

I remember that from the REEE thread lol. Man that was fucking hilarious.

 

[Little Chicken]

Gears 5 + Hivebusters still looks incredible on Series X, I have no doubt they will pull off 60fps, it even still looks good on Xbox One X at 60fps.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

It's almost like the devs making their games 30FPS only are just lazy and untalented or something and it has nothing to do with the actual hardware

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

. why not?

 

[Darsxx82]

The MP has to be 60fps, but not the SP.

Perhaps having to optimize for MP 60fps has helped them offer a performance mode. The question is how far the graphical cuts will go compared to the 30fps mode because there is no doubt that there will be some.

Personally I would prefer that the development of the campaign mode be done based on 30fps and push UE5 to the maximum (which is an evolving engine) on console (which has a limit) and that the 60fps mode be the extra.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Looking forward to the ps5 release.

I sold my PS5 but I love this new meme

The MP will probably go up to 120fps like Gears 5 does on Series X and S. There's no need to gimp the campaign with 30fps, The Coalition know what they are doing with UE.

Robocop Rouge City is UE5 60fps on console too. I have no doubt Coalition will put out a technically glorious looking game though. They're a talented studio.

 

[angrod14]

Plot twist: the game runs at 720p.

 

[rodrigolfp]

It'll be over 120 fps on my PC.

And cheaper. \o/

I highly doubt that will happen. In fact UE5 currently does not even have support for 120hz on console. Unless you use the Fornite formula where the 120hz mode is painful and does not use a single UE5 feature.

 

[SlimySnake]

Couldnt care less about 60 fps. Thats not what matters in 2024. Gaming studios need to think bigger than that. Give me physics based stuff not possible last gen. Give me AI not possible last gen. Give me game design not possible last gen.

60 fps was possible on the PS1. Who gives a shit. Utilize these consoles to give us what we've been lacking. Gears is a stale and boring franchise. The last one was 60 fps on the X1X. Didnt help one bit. Game came and went without any fanfare. Make it different. Make it feel next gen in ways we cant even imagine.

I know this isnt coming from Coalition, but this 60 fps or bust nonsense from gamers is missing the forest for the trees.

Also 60 fps with fortnite and tekken

[SlimySnake]

child-shamer? Elaborate.

His 4 year old son saw a black man and asked his parents why he was black. So he blasted his own son on social media for being a racist. All to earn some internet cred among his bubble.

 

[twilo99]

Celebrating 60fps for shooting game of this caliber is rather sad.. this needs to be 120fps but thanks to the lovely zen2 CPU you will take 60 and be happy
