[QUOTE="Fijiandoce, post: 6477944]This is your opinion. Not in any way factual.[/quote]it is factual because the response time goes up each frame, you should know this, i thought you were involved in game devleopment. the actual lag in response goes down twice as much.
consoles can have 60fps and they have been for quite a while, you're saying as if this isn't possible on consoles. before 60fps was very rare and almost impossible, however i didn't know that it would make such a big difference in response times. so now i'm a pretty big fan of it. same goes for resolution.
because i'm not talking about controlling issues as in, the method of controlling, i'm talking about the lag that comes from the lower the frame rate is. every played a game at 15fps? how about 10?
that's because i never said that it would do that for every game. in 2D animation, you need 60fps for sure. for games that require response time, you need 60fps, it's fine on 30fps...especially if the game isn't competitive...but it matters a lot if it's competitive. look at TLOU as an example, you can switch between 60fps and 30fps. try to play against others for a day at 30fps then switch to 60fps. come back with results.
yeah you know the difference, you just don't play competitively online, otherwise you wouldn't be saying that you don't care.

Before anybody would like to imply that i don't know what 60fps looks like
Frame-rate arguments are farcical imho. For those who honestly don't give two damns for bigger numbers, 30fps serves its purpose just fine when you consider the trade-off is extra visual feedback.

[QUOTE="Varsh, post: 6477943]While you can easily notice the difference in fluidity, you can't notice the actual framerate difference because all of those videos are running at 30FPS. YouTube have only given 60FPS video recently and if you put the comparisons side by side then you'll see the difference.
[/QUOTE]
Didn't you notice the first and last videos can be (and need to be) set to 60fps?
They were uploaded November 2014, around the time YouTube started having 60fps videos.

But what is wrong with me (or anyone) not caring about the frame-rate if all we're going to do is play through the single player game and enjoy that experience. Or even in the case of some online games, play the game just to mess about with mates?
Not every person who plays games does it to be competitive.
I will admit, would it be nice if all games ran at 60fps? Sure. But realistically, am i gunna get hung up on it? Not even in the slightest.

[QUOTE="Fijiandoce, post: 6477956]Even you point out it isn't:[/QUOTE]no, i said, it may not "matter" as much in certain games. i didn't say that it wouldn't help. 60fps would "always" help, a game of chess...maybe not so much because you're not constantly controlling anything. but even that would run more fluid at 60fps than 30fps. i will guarantee you that just about all chess games run at 60fps just because they don't require a lot of graphics and it would suck waiting for the 30fps animations to take their course.
ask him
nothing wrong with that, but don't deny it doesn't help. and if you don't know, then make sure you know before you disagree. i have played 30fps and 60fps games extensively (note: same version of the games) and there is a very significant change in controls going from 30fps to 60fps. i have quite a bit of experience with this. I played BF4 on the PS3 (which barely ran at 30fps) and now I own the game on the PS4, it matters a whole lot. pretty much game-breaking if you care about response times.
I've noticed that people who don't normally care, also tend to not know if it makes a difference. meaning lack of experience with it.
i'm not either, i'm ok with UC4 being 30fps just because i'm not playing that game to compete. i probably won't touch the online and if i do, likely won't for long. but if i were interested, i'd want it to be 60fps. there's a reason why KZ:SF was 60fps online even if they couldn't retain true 1080p. they know it matters. (but kept 30fps in single player, even though i actually didn't like the game at 30fps, something about their technique that made the 30fps noticeable, think it wasn't stable).

i think they might go for 60fps with the MP (EDIT: just realized that's what you said lol) but likely not the single player. those graphics are too good for 60fps imo. maybe we can get close to those in the future but still doubtful.
but yeah, that wasn't on point. point is, yes, because it matters in competition, it would make sense to go 60fps and reduce the graphics a bit.

Firstly, this is a load of rubbish just FYI. 60fps will not help you in chess. If you think it does, you're playing the lowest of the lowest difficulty settings and like the tapping sound the pieces make as they move around the board.
Chess is played many moves ahead. What something does on-screen matters little. Whether it be at 20fps, or even 15fps, you aren't going to care in the slightest so long as your opponents moves get conveyed to you; to that end, 1 fps would serve its purpose.

You saw the screenshot from my PC above yes? 120fps.... If you want to play that game then 60fps is decidedly peasant
Also, on my PC that can do 120fps+ i don't mind playing games at 30fps. I really don't care.
As i posted above, frame-rates are a matter of perception. And perception is determined by a number of variables. To state so unequivocally that it's 60fps or bust is not only wrong, but plain asinine.
You can't use yourself as a measure for what games should be like. If you want 60fps all the time, as i said, play on a PC. For people who play consoles to slip a disc in and start having fun with friends, or engaging in a games story, they don't really care - Because they didn't put the disk in to watch the number of screen updates per second.

we're not talking about what you care for or not. and i think the benefit for controls especially would be larger going from 30fps to 60fps than 60fps to 120fps however i haven't experience enough of 120fps to make this distinction. what i will say thought is that 60fps seems very responsive for the time being.
for competitive games, yes. it is a bust. when i said, experience, i mean, actual multiplayer experience where you play a game at 30fps long enough and then experience the same game at 60fps, show us how well you're doing with both settings and then if you disagree, i can take your feedback but i'd definitely like to analyze your video to see how well your response times were playing these competitive games on the two settings. that's what i mean when i say, find out before disagree.
what you're talking about again, like i said earlier, it depends on what a person cares about. people were fine with 30fps last gen, i'm "fine" with it as well. but now that i have experienced 60fps and its responsiveness in competitive online games, i find 30fps to be only suited for SP games and games that do not require response times.
GTA5 imo should've been 60fps even in SP (especially MP), it's just too slow...because the character movements are slow to begin with.
well i'm doing fine for the moment, there are plenty of 60fps games on the PS4 and developers are smart to keep MP portion of the game 60fps. so i'm ok. i'm not going to make a huge shift just for this problem. i'll continue to fight for it and inform people however. i'm not saying ALL games should be 60fps (although if possible i would like that), but some games definitely benefit a lot from it. again, why developers are specifically reacting to this. and this isn't just me...the response time difference can be factually proven. it's whether you care or not. i do, you don't. simple as that. it doesn't change the fact that any game would respond better at 60fps than 30fps.
it's not like that anymore sir. technology is increasing and people want more. and we are getting more. consoles aren't simple anymore. they're quite complicated however still retain their core competencies of being convenient. sometimes they need a bit of work around and improvements but for the most part, they are far more convenient than PCs. i also like/prefer closed box development than open box and that will never change.
for the last comment in there, yes, you're right, most people probably wouldn't care one way or another even if it helps, they wouldn't know why it does. do you ever wonder why COD was so popular on consoles? on top of bringing evolution to the FPS genre, it was one of the only games on PS3/360 that were 60fps online, THE ONLY game on last-gen consoles that had incredibly smooth controls. care to make a connection to all of it?

Heh, I went ahead an edited in notes to remind people to set those to 60fps. I usually do make sure to note if a video can be switched to 60fps. It's been almost a year since we've had 60fps YT videos so I figured in a thread like this people would do this by habit.

Have you played Starcraft? If you have fps in the 30s overall in the game, the framerate WILL fall during Terran wall clashes. You prone to lose if that happens.
Will I take 30 fps in all other instances? It's a give and take situation.

I'll abandon console gaming next generation if 60 fps does not become the norm with the playstation 5/xbox 4. I'll invest money in a new gaming rig so i can do 100 fps+ for games. I can easily tell the difference between 30 fps and 60 fps having a controller or kb/m in my hand. Watching a gameplay vid it isn't as apparent, but when playing yeah i can easily spot the difference.
