[Acquiescence]

oh boy here we go

Come on From, 60 fps would make the combat silky smooth.

This type of direction makes players wait for the PC versions. It's bad for business.

The PS4 is certainly suffering all the more for it, that's for sure.

 

[keit4]

Dat parity.

Oh wait.

 

[Skilletor]

Bayonetta 2 disagrees with that statement.

Bayonetta 2 has really bad performance. Bad game to cite as an example.

 

[Gator86]

Man I wish for once someone would just says "We went with 30fps because we couldn't reach 60fps and still achieve what we wanted to visually."

That would be SO refreshing to hear.

100% agree. I'm fine with 30 here anyway. There was never any chance From could get to 60. They make good games but are pretty shitty from a tech perspective. Still have nightmares from the Blightown slideshow.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

You aren't agreeing with him. He said 30fps was best. Not that it's okay or tolerable or it depends on the game or it looks less weird than the hobbit. Just that it's the best. Which is clearly just placebic babble that sounds like a reason for the 30fps choice but isn't a reason, only a post-hoc justification.

Its factually wrong though.

60fps is better, period.

Well yeah 30 is not "better" than 60 or "best" for anything. Which is why I only half agreed.

I'm just saying I personally don't have an issue with 30. Or maybe I should say its not a deal breaker for me.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

This will be a damn good thread. I'm in.

 

[Jazzkokehead]

Quite frankly, GAF complains too much about 60 fps.

When it's locked at 30 fps, it's fine. I never played any of the three Souls games, but I assume they were locked 30 fps and GAF likes those games, so what's the big deal??

A large par of it are the terrible excuses from developers claiming 30 FPS to be "best" for a certain type of game, or "more cinematic" - rather than just admitting that they can't hit the level of visuals they're targeting at 60 FPS.

 

[Maintenance]

If you can't be honest, just don't say anything. Christ.

Even though I think it is bullshit, there are some people that live to spin things. So yeah, it is their job to not be honest. Kinda.

 

[AAK]

Dammit... such a sad thing to hear. Can't respect that From... can't respect that.

 

[Renzoku]

Again with this idiotic bullshit.

30 FPS is not better in any application in videogames. It may not make AS MUCH of a difference in certain, extremely static games like Hearthstone or something, but come, the fuck, on. Jesus.

If you are incapable of getting 60 FPS on the hardware you're dealing with, that's fine. Say that, and I'll accept that. I'll be ok with 30 FPS locked if you couldn't manage 60 with what you had to work with, but don't lie through your god damn teeth with stupid comments like this just to hide the fact that you couldn't achieve it.

 

[Wagram]

If Bloodborne maintains 25 fps I would be amazed. Dark Souls 2 on PS3 was a disgrace, and I really enjoyed the game.

 

[aly]

Well, hopefully enough suckers buy the cinematic version so a proper one gets released.

But there won't be a "proper" version,so people will have to deal.

 

[Realyn]

I missed you Blighttown. Welcome back.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

 

[Killer]

Fucking parity and MS moneyhats.

 

[MormaPope]

Well, hopefully enough suckers buy the cinematic version so a proper one gets released.

So you're betting on Sony collapsing in the next two to three years?

Dark Souls 3 is when everybody will get a Souls game again, just wait a couple or few years.

 

[AuRoN89]

i'd prefer 60fps, but if it's a rock solid 30fps there no problem at all.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I will buy the game made by a developer who just says "we couldn't hit 60" instead of whatever dickheaded nonsense they pull out of their ass, no questions asked.

 

[SargerusBR]

Souls on PC negates that comment

 

[Chobel]

Oh please, From. You're not fooling anyone, just say you couldn't make it 60fps, there's nothing wrong with that. No need to bullshit us.

 

[NullPointer]

 

[Eyothrie]

Bloodborne: Durante Edition. Oh wait.....

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

If the lower is better than why doesnt the whole game just run like Blighttown?

 

[Soriku]

Sub-30 would be better for dat authentic Souls feel.

 

[Aeqvitas]

Who is enforcing 30 FPS parity? Who is making this game wait for greatness?

/s

 

[Wenger'sBakedBaguettes]

Well 60 would have been nice but I guess I'll have to settle for 30. As long as the game is good.

 

[RyudBoy]

Huh? I was just playing Dark Souls 2 and i'm pretty sure it runs at a solid 60FPS.

Um, on what platform are you playing this mysterious Dark Souls 2 that's running at 60fps?

 

[croten]

Couldn't be more factually wrong

 

[fantomena]

 

[Servbot24]

He's right

Effects > Frames

 

[alterno69]

We should file this along with the 900p = 1080p statements.

 

[LiK]

Well 60 would have been nice but I guess I'll have to settle for 30. As long as the game is good.

game will be good. no question.

 

[prwxv3]

It will be entertaining to see linear AAA game devs 30 fps excuses if ND are able to pull off U4 at 60 fps and 1080p.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

and now my PS4 has no use to me..

I was honestly expecting 30, and this is the only game I would have made the exception for.

but if you want to pretend like we're idiots and feed your Ubi PR to us, no thanks. thanks for saving me $60 though

You're going to deny yourself Bloodborne strictly because some dumbass said a dumb thing that was translated and who knows what he even means exactly?

what?

 

[RK9039]

Dat parity.

Oh wait.

Oh come on... somehow, deep down, we all know MS is behind this.

Spoiler

Not.

Getting ready for Blight Town 2.

 

[ShinMaruku]

This is why you never make your developers talk.

 

[dark10x]

Bayonetta 2 disagrees with that statement.

Not really a good example unless wildly unstable frame-rates are what you consider "best". ;-)

 

[TatteredHat]

Motherfucker.

 

[tapedeck]

 

[Silky]

Jesus christ...I'm just amazed he actually said this. What the fuck, FROM?

30fps is atrocious for any action game. Souls can't even manage 30 and we ALL KNOW how much that game shits the bed with maintaining stability.

I knew Bloodborne was gonna be 30 regardless, but to say some shit like this? Atrocious.

 

[Cizeta-Moroder]

Nothing to do with "handling" it, they've clearly designed it for 30 FPS. Games are not fixed units.

But on the other hand... nothing to do with design, everything to do with handling. That aspect of "design" wouldn't exist if it weren't for hardware limitations.

 

[UltraGunner]

Why the hell couldn't they have just stayed quiet.

 

[Phamit]

Well I hope they have locked 30 fps in the end, doesn't look like it at the moment though

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Oops! Foot in the mouth time again. Incredible how often we see this kind of slip up.

 

[sublimit]

This is why you never make your developers talk.

But he's not a developer.

 

[double jump]

I know it sucks to hear but is anyone seriously surprised ?

 

[Cornbread78]

I'll take this bong rip first.....

30 or 60 doesn't matter much if it's a fun game and looks great. I'm not entitled to have 60, nor is it any kind of benchmark or standard that has to be met by devs..

A game can be good at either, let's just hope they can achieve making a great game that's fun to play.


...exhale...

 

[DieH@rd]

Oh boy, lock to glorified slide show if old

I-I don't even know what to say about that opinion. Terrible.
