I mean, anybody can by not posting in the thread or even going through the thread. From Software and technical issues with Souls games on consoles is like some sort of weird brotherhood. Granted, the 360 version of Dark Souls 2 runs at around 40fps consistently with screen tearing. The PS3 version ran in the low 20's consistently.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I'd like to think that was a joke post, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't.
Anyway, everything in a game moves the same speed at 60fps as at 30fps. (Unless it's one of those capped-at-30 games with hacked 60fps support where the animations play twice as fast.)
And 60fps is more precise, mostly because of roughly halved controller lag, but also improved motion resolution lets you see what's going on better.

Exactly what I said? I wasn't being sarcastic.

Please, negative gamer horde, please don't sully my hype for this game with negativity. I can't wait to play this game, just ship it with a solid 30fps and get my hard earned money From Soft!
Sony isn't Microsoft.
Bayonetta 2 has really bad performance. Bad game to cite as an example.
A better example would be a 30 FPS platformer like Pupeteer and a 60 FPS platformer like New Super Mario Bros U. Or a 30 FPS fighter like JoJo All-Star and a 60 FPS fighting game like Street Fighter IV. Your ability to respong and control the game is so much better in the 60 FPS games.
PC, obviously. Sure it's not a console but playing Souls games at 60 FPS is just...wow.
Well, he is right. Only hope for a 60 FPS version of the game is a remaster on the PS5.

Some people would've prefered fancier graphics or better AA at 30FPS.

It's better to say nothing. People were expecting 30 anyway but when they try to spin it they hit a person's bullshit sensor and in the age of bullshit and idiots it enflames people. Silence is golden.

I dunno, maybe not fucking bullshit us.
30 fps is not the point.
Insulting your audience trying to tell them is actually better than 60, is the problem.
They think the people who would actually care about this have the same amount of knowledge as the people who don't care or even know what 30fps means.
You're answering for him, though. ;P

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.
This game is funded by and co-developed by Sony, so don't expect a PC version.
All 60fps.

A stable 30 fps would be a step up for FROM on consoles.
SFIV on consoles is 60, unless you're talking about the handheld version.
So it hopefully runs at a locked 30 instead of a stuttery 20-25. FROM isn't exactly a bunch of Technical Wizards. I don't think anyone was expecting 60 from them, especially after seeing the E3 builds. I'll happily take something that smooth from FROM considering their other console work.
Spewing diarrhea all over my face with "lol 30 fps is best" nonsense statements is not something that I personally enjoy though.

Fine if that's what they were aiming for, but I don't think it's wise to make this statement. Ubisoft's made the argument before with PR in mind, so it's hard not to be cynical when someone else does this.

As bad as this statement is, I don't know if it tops "the feel of 60 FPS"

From Software to be put on Gaf's shitlist?

I love Pokken!
What if FROM aims for a "balanced" solution... like 900p60?
I'll take 1080p 30fps please.
I'd rather have the game fluctuate between 60fps and 40fps than 30fps and 10fps. It's a FROM game on a console we're talking about afterall.
I meant comparing a 30 FPS fighter like JoJo and a 60 FPS fighter like SF IV. Maybe I should clarify better in my original post.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
I really don't know why developers keep saying this stuff. It really doesn't help them.

Who are these people? Why are they like that? Do they even really exist? I've never heard of them before.
It's a massive step down from the previous 2 games for some of us.
That's actually something I respect Nintendo for. Even more so since they have to do it on their hardware
