Nooooooo, this just isn't truueee. God damn devs, "the best" for action games is 60 fps and whatever particles and shit you want, not 30 fps

 

[MormaPope]

A better response would've been

"We're From Software motherfuckers, we make games that drop to 5 frames per second and y'all love that shit. Who else makes games like we do?"

 

[Dahbomb]

Souls director letting the hype get to his head.

Dude needs to check out some REAL action games to know what's up.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Expected, but a shame and dumb excuse.

Bayonetta 2 clearly would've been better at 30fps.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

I'm all for developers locking @ 30 fps to maximize graphics on the hardware they have, but don't do it and say "It's more cinematic" ... Just say "We're locking at 30 to get the most out of the hardware."

Damn, grill.

This.

 

[WickedLaharl]

Love and adoration can quickly turn to hate when you tell blatant lies.

 

[Nethaniah]

Gotta half agree.

In my personal experience, I've found that 60 almost looks funny in the same way the Hobbit did in 48.

I don't think 60 is necessary 100% of the time. I'm perfectly ok with a smooth 30 in most games. I still cant adjust to Halo at 60 in the MCC footage yet. Just looks funny.

This didnt take long.

 

[Sothpaw]

Honestly, we'll be lucky if we get mostly 30. Anyone expecting 60 from From Software is out of their mind.

I have played 2 From games at 60fps 1080p.

 

[NEO0MJ]

If you're gonna give such a bull excuse don't say it at all. Just admit that you'd rather sacrifice better gameplay for better graphics. And if it's like souls it will probably run sub-30 most of the time.

 

[Kezen]

Dark Souls on PC disproves that statement.

Indeed it does. Playing DS1 at 60fps after the PS3 version is a life changing experience.

 

[K' Dash]

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

it's true at 30 fps second your eyes can adjust and you can make more precise actions

60 fps is too many frames, you'll make more mistakes because it's too fast

 

[Tizoc]

I have only this to say/react to that statement

 

[Hyun Sai]

I still can't decide if those guys think we're morons, if they're morons themselves, or both...

 

[JimPanzer]

how is this still happening

 

[RyudBoy]

Early footage had a shitload of tearing, so I guess this is for the best. Disappointing, but not a big deal.

 

[Ryan_]

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Maybe it's all a big mistranslation...

Or maybe Japanese devs don't have good media training.

In any case, even though Bloodborne is pretty much the only game I'm looking forward to in the next 6 months, his lack of reverence for glorious 60fps can only mean one thing.

PRE.
ORDER.
CANCELED.

 

[Kerned]

I still can't decide if those guys think we're morons, if they're morons themselves, or both...

The former.

 

[Ogawa-san]

 

[Nyoro SF]

I think he's just covering for Bloodborne, that's cute. Not like you're going to say your game is inferior for being 30fps.

But seriously, he is wrong. Dark Souls 1 at 60fps was a glory to behold.

 

[R_Deckard]

 

[UrbanRats]

Well anybody who has played Dark Souls 1 or 2 on PC will know just how wrong that is.

60fps improves these games dramatically.

Indeed.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Where's my popcorn??

 

[Rich!]

30fps is the best for action games in the same way that stabbing yourself in the eye with a rusty nail is good for real life

 

[Maintenance]

Haha, oh boy. So it can't handle 60fps, then.

 

[ISee]

Bayonetta 2 disagrees with that statement.

Also Dark Souls 2 on PC...

 

[Citizen_Insane]

I have played 2 From games at 60fps 1080p.

Shhh PC doesn't count. Talkin' consoles. Dark Souls at 1080p and 60fps is godly, though.

Dear Developers/Publishers/PR People:

If you can't make your engine run at 60 FPS then just stop opening your mouth and saying stupid shit like this. It's not more cinematic. It's not better. It's the not best for anything ever. Just say that you're going for a locked 30 and nothing else or at the most say you're going for a locked 30 to hit the visual fidelity that you want. That's it, no bullshit. Just stop insulting us with absolute, patently false nonsense like this kind of statement.

 

[neurophd]

We'll that is unfortunate, Bloodborne is the only product tempting me to get a PS4....this news puts a damper on those thoughts.

 

[Jazzkokehead]

You know, if devs want to aim for 30 FPS so that they can increase the fidelity of the visuals, that's fine - I just wish they would say that, instead of dancing around the issue and trying to claim that 30 FPS is "best" for a certain type of game.

 

[Guerrilla]

Game will be great (if not amazing) regardless, and I think few will argue that, even with 30fps. It's just amazing that people apparently don't learn from the mistakes of others. Saying 30fps is the best for anything is just asking for a shitstrom....

 

[reptilescorpio]

Direct quote in English or translation?

 

[Zareka]

This should be another fun one. Subscribed!

 

[sublimit]

I thought we already knew this? Anyway as long as it's locked and 1080p i don't care.

Bayonetta 2 disagrees with that statement.

Very different games.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

No.

 

[prwxv3]

We'll that is unfortunate, Bloodborne is the only product tempting me to get a PS4....this news puts a damper on those thoughts.

Did you seriously expect 60 FPS from FROM.

 

[Raptor]

Locked?

 

[FlyinJ]

I just don't understand, after all these years, developers can't just be honest.

Would anyone be up in arms if he said:

"We're going for 30fps because we want to push really great textures and effects over frame rate".

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

What a dumb statement. 30 fPS is fine with me. Calling it the best option is not.

 

[SgtCobra]

It's not though.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

This didnt take long.

So I'm not allowed to feel this way? Maybe I got too used to 10fps during the Saturn/N64/PSX era and 30 seems great to me, who knows.

Even Split Second I adore and that's only 30.

 

[The Llama]

Imagine thinking 30 FPS is better than 60 FPS for an action game. I can't even understand.

Spoiler

Still, people gotta just accept that games are gonna be 30 FPS on consoles because devs are almost always going to prioritize visuals over the framerate.

 

[Guymelef]

FROM doesn't know what 60fps is.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Alright, they've convinced me.

 

[Nzyme32]

Gotta half agree.

In my personal experience, I've found that 60 almost looks funny in the same way the Hobbit did in 48. Not for all games of course.

I don't think 60 is necessary 100% of the time. I'm perfectly ok with a smooth 30 in most games. I still cant adjust to Halo at 60 in the MCC footage yet. Just looks funny.

That's your opinion. Sure. Fine. But I have to vehemently disagree
