Assassins's Creed Unity dev claims 60fps is not good for image quality

[totjup5]

I guess we shouldn't really be surprised at this point, but this is a bit too far. The creative director also agreed stating that 30fps is "More Cinematic." (which is bs). They also went as far as to say that 60fps is a worse experience for adventure games. The sad thing to me is that these people are spreading false information that most console gamers will unfortunately believe.

 

Here is a quote from the dev: "At Ubisoft for a long time we wanted to push 60fps. I don't think it was a good idea because you don't gain that much from 60fps and it doesn't look like the real thing," he said. "It's a bit like The Hobbit movie, it looked really weird."

wat the actual fuck why is noone confronting them. comon reddit

 

[WereCat]

Oh god... Not this again. Are they hiring morons or are they paid by console manufacturers?

[NUFCThomas]

they think 30fps is ok... anyone who has played on 60fps like the last of us remastered apparently is for console and all pc games can tell the difference and would want 60 over 30 any day

[Sack]

Well I guess they make more money on console gamers... because us pc gamers have steam sales

[Aniallation]

Apparently some people think 60FPS looks weird to some people. Personally I'm used to using a 30Hz monitor (well, TV) for my PC, so the difference between 30FPS and 60FPS is actually barely noticeable to me, and I'm not bothered by it unlike many other people

[PortentousLad]

When I saw the title I wanted to say "of course not, anything below 80fps is not good enough"

But after reading the quote that wouldn't really make sense.

That guy needs glasses the hobbit looked great so great in fact that they had trouble with the props looking like props because of the high fps.

More excuses for optimisation problems...

A But hey if they make it 4k on PC we'll also only have about 30fps with, enthusiast grad hardware.

[LukaP]

Some should just mention that the world around us is continuous, and seeing continuos movement is what humans consider normal.

 

what they say 60fps hobbit was weird is just humans being used to a low framerate film, so going more "natural" with a higher framerate catches the brain unprepared. once you play games, you dont really notice that as weird but as smoother

[Camul]

I agree, the Hobbit movie looked very weird indeed in the higher frame rate version to the point where I couldn't even enjoy the movie while I was watching it. It did take away from it's cinematic look and it made it look too real imo. That being said, why the fuck does this guy think the rules are the same for video games? I have never played a game that was ruined for me by a higher frame rate.

[Toggle]

Why can't they just tell us the truth, that the now current generation consoles are underpowered and they can't achieve acceptable framerates? They should simply come out with the truth and stop giving us this B.S. already.

[Bogica]

Cinematic look is just that, a look acceptable for movies. Over 30FPS is for gaming, 30FPS should be the bare minimum and it is not a decent experience. I am willing to compromise on the graphics quality to achieve 60fps (or at least 50fps) because of the fluid and responsive feel of the game!

[Coal Dust XIII]

The first comment says it the best.

[virtualTune]

Why don't you let us decide what looks weird? Why don't you let us decide how far we want to push our hardware? What the actual fuck you morons!!!

 

Let me guess, the options menu will have 3 settings and a brightness slider. No Advanced settings, no resolution settings.

Everyone at Ubisoft is "really weird". I mean if they want to keep outright lying to people? We should just make up some stuff.

 

Everyone at Ubisoft is involved with drug trafficking. I know this, because I just watched the movie Blow and while movies have nothing to do with gaming, I think this confirms it.

 

On a side note. The other day I was perusing an article on IGN and a few console company astroturfers were repeatedly selling the idea that 60 FPS games give people seizures and they should be outlawed. I shit you not. These comments were upvoted many times, and by "guest" (clean temp internet files and re upvote) viewers.

 

Screw you console makers and screw you Ubisoft. To the people who belive up is down and take false information like this and repeat it on forums? Don't have kids.  You are now advertisers of BS, that was a lie by advertisers who probably laughed when they wrote the damn thing. To be honest I don't know how these people from Ubisoft can say this crap with a straight face. Maybe they don't. I imagine them sitting in a room with the clowns at sites like IGN and all laughing.

yeah 60 FPS affects image quality on the stupid consoles cause you have to turn settings and resolution WAAAY down just to get it.

 

if your talking about consoles, then say your talking about consoles.

 

Meanwhile just leave us PC gamers to whatever our hardware can handle

[TheKDub]

I used to run most games I played on my laptop around 30fps, after upgrading to my desktop and running most of them at 60+ fps it is so very much better.

This dev must have been dropped down 500 flights of stairs or something cause he is dumb as fuck to say 30fps looks better than 60fps.

[deviant88]

And the evil behind all this is... TADA FUCK APU'S which everyone seems to like?stupid imo,they are trash and need to disapear from the market,try find an amd laptop without APU good luck.

Exactly my thoughts. We know by now that 60fps on consoles is just not feasible. Twisting the truth as an excuse is lame.

Just say that this is all they can push out of the consoles for now. It is not ubisoft their fault that the consoles can't handle their games.

That's why I don't buy shit console ported games. Ubisoft should be announced as a worst game company of the year. They started this shit from the Watch_Dogs & they keep messing things up. Just avoid the games which they publish. Don't buy their games. Let only their console peasants buy their games. If you won't buy their games, then their business won't be as good as it is now & maybe they will realize they fucked up with their attitude their PC clients.

 

Well, I just delivered a "sweet" message on their official facebook page in the name of PC gamers

[Guest]

More absolute utter silly-bollocks.

[Deli]

Well, Assassin's Creed series is dead for me then.

[AlwaysFSX]

30 fps isn't cinematic. Put it at 24 you numbskulls.

They should just prerender the game and release it as a film. Max cinematics
