DriveClub Is 30FPS For The Same Reason Other Games Are, Director Says [Old Thread]

[Rohith_Kumar_Sp]

"I suspect a lot of people think we may have compromised the gameplay experience by choosing 30fps, but we've spent a huge amount of time minimising the latency between the pad and what happens inside the game so you never feel disconnected."

Every game is 30FPS now(consoles), I mean the Forza series is now 30FPS, and they used to be all for 60FPS. It's just the limited power of the "next gen" consoles. I personally think that consoles should have a 60FPS, 30FPS slider this would resolve the issue.

Now that YouTube will be supporting 60fps I would imagine console gamers will start to demand 60fps gameplay when they watch their favorite commentator play on a PC at 60fps. 

[Sauron]

At least there are plenty of other racing games. On pc you even get games that run on 3 monitors at 60fps no problem.

I wouldn't be sure, some people are so dug in into defending their console that they won't listen to reason. And either way, with the limited hardware of these consoles having 60fps would mean going back to 720p or less. It's still a good compromise for better gameplay, but it still sucks.

Forza 5 is 1080@60r15? 

 

Horizon is the 30fps one...

 

If we're gonna give them shit, lets give them factual shit. We don't need to lie and do poor research to prove why PC gaming is better. 

[Askew]

The title is true, lol.

[deviant88]

Gotta love amd now right? look what they did with their sorry ass hardware, ruined the gaming as we know it.

Anyway consoles are from another gaming world its sad they put pc and consoles in same boat.(iknow this is ps4 exclusive)

I really dont care only stupid buy consoles nowdays,my problem is when the pc versions are locked to 30fps,graphics gimped and controlls feel sluggish and unrefined aka console ports.

[flibberdipper]

I'm tired of playing at less than 60.

lolwat? AMD could've put a 290X inside the consoles for all they care but Microsoft and Sony went for the cheap. How is it AMD's fault?

[JAKEBAB]

Meh just looked it up the driving looks very arcady and unrealistic don't really care as i wont be getting it anyway and is 30fps really that much of a surprise now since basically every game is running at that on console lol.

[chilicheeseburger]

If I was a developer and couldn't achieve more than 30 fps, my excuse would be: "We wanted to create a more cinematic experience"

 

Anyway, the new consoles are still... well... new and after some time we will see more games with 60fps. At least that's what I think will happen.

as a console gamer all my life and pc gamer aswell since 2012, i am not gonna defend my console and totally agree that they should be able to do 60fps, if it is truley hardware limited than fine, but if its just devs being lazy, than they will eventually lose markets!

[harrynowl]

problem is event he crap hardware can make games look so much better than last gen because of the age, so MS and Sony can get away with crap hardware and still call it next gen

 

there should be a slider for 60 fps with lower detail or 30 fps with slightly higher detail

[XTankSlayerX]

*sigh* if they can make it feel responsive through some sort of witch craft, maybe even selling your soul to the devil; it would be very hard to make a responsive racing game @30 FPS.

[BernardoSLR]

Seriously? -.- Not that I care a lot for this game...

You cannot blame AMD for other companies being cheapskates, it would be even worse if it was Nvidia because according to both Microsoft and Sony they asked for more money to even get close to the performance of the APUs. It was Sony and Microsoft who chose to put cheap hardware in the consoles, not AMD they just make what was asked for. Besides on top of that it is also the developer's choice to go for higher graphics or fps, they just chose graphics.

Seconded, they should go for a in between, good graphics with 40-45fps maybe 50 at a push!

If there's one type of games that needs 60FPS it's racing

[Xorbot]

Yes.

[Seldszar]

People should stop being delusional by now about the consoles ... they will never sacrifice visual quality for frame rate because visual quality is the only obvious benchmark for someone to know the console is an upgrade over the last generation. (even if it shouldnt be just that) These consoles are too weak to do good realistic graphics and 60 fps, get over it or go Nintendo with cartoony/drawing graphics.

[jdsb52]

Wow someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, are we a bit grumpy, this was a nice debate btw, we are not being delusional, debating that they could be better with more effort and delay form the devs, but you seem to be a pc master race by your little rant! 

[Rassilon]

They'll start aiming for 1080 60 in about a year. Instead of now where it's the one in ten game on Xbox one and the odd game on ps4.

ACU should try to hit that mark and not settle for less

Nobody notices the cartoony games on the next gen consoles. There are a few though.

>Minimize input lag

>30 FPS

 

Pick one.
