    I always laugh when people complain about this because I literally cannot see any difference. It's totally meaningless to me. It's like watching people bitch and moan that the game only runs at 37 biblawaffles per septagon. 🤣

    Even if I could see a difference, who gives a shit? Is the game fun? That's the only question I care about. Maybe I'm just old, but this feels like such a silly and stupid thing to whine about. Like of all the things to give a fuck about. If you care that much then drop the price of a used car on a high end gaming PC so you can not-see all those extra frames. 😂
    Everyone who owns a TV (screen) bigger than 20 inches can see the difference. You've clearly never played at 60fps. If you had, you would definitely know the difference.
    If I look at it side by side I can see a difference then. It also, and I cannot stress this enough, does not fucking matter.

    All of you people having a meltdown that a single player game is "only" 30fps, please find something actually important to get so worked up over.
    So you just lied for shock value, and an interaction. How unsurprising.

    Also, "it does not fucking matter".... To you. As you can see, many other people care.

    I'll never quite understand people like you, who say things like "it doesn't matter" or "who cares", all while arguing about it, and putting other people down because of their own opinions on the matter that you admittedly "don't care" about.
    I'd love to know how I "lied for shock value" 🙄 What a fucking joke. After I read all that nonsense I went out of my way to look up comparisons, and then only by looking at 30fps literally side by side with 60fps and 120fps could I tell any difference at all. If it is not literally side by side I do not notice it AT ALL. Which is what I was talking about. If I'm just seeing gameplay or a video playing, I do not notice or even think about its frame rate.

    And I can see that lots of other people care, what I can't see is why. It's a complete non-issue to whine about. There are people in here dooming over how console gaming is "dead" and saying they'll refuse to buy games that are 30fps. That's fucking stupid, period. Regardless, this may sound paradoxical to you, but you can not care about an issue itself while still caring that the issue is somehow controversial.
    Firstly, it's okay brother, no need to change your original reply. You lied, said you "literally cannot see the difference" and "even if you could" blah blah blah. Then you pretend you're only talking about side by side when you could've easily stated that to begin with, before you were called out.

    You could've easily started your original comment off with: "I just looked at a bunch of side-by-side comparisons, and only then, could I tell a difference." if that were the case... but you didn't. You made it a point to start with "I literally cannot tell the difference." Why? Because you wanted to lie for an interaction, just so you could insert yourself into the argument that you "don't care" about. I doubt you even looked at comparisons, until maybe after you just got called out for being blind.

    Second, like I said, you're sitting here insulting people over their opinions. I never said you're not allowed to "care that the issue is somehow controversial", I said I don't understand people like you: Telling everyone how much it "doesn't matter" or how much you "don't care", all while putting people down for their own opinions on the matter that they clearly care about. It just makes you look like a child.

    Once again, it's a "non-issue", it "doesn't matter"... To you. It matters to many other people, especially people here that take gaming more seriously.

    Saying it's "stupid" if people refuse to buy a game at 30fps. There are many reasons people refuse to buy games, I'm sure you have many of your own.. not a big deal.

    Telling people to "find something actually important to get worked up over"... While you yourself are getting worked up over other other people having an opinion on how their games should run on their "next-gen" consoles.

    It's not really that hard to comprehend how immature you look. If you think all of these things, then go on about your day, and take your own advice: Find some actually important to get worked up over.

    These people care about how their games run, look, and feel. You don't. Both are fine, it's not that deep.

    Anyways, you have a good day my friend.
    Okay, let me be more specific after my first post but before my second I looked at them side by side. Are you happy now?

    Hoping to get 90-120 fps on my PC. What do people expect for a four year old console that barely costs $500 😂

    To be honest. I really don't think it's a big deal if it's locked @30 and it don't dip below. Developers are going for resolution over framerate. In a BIG open world rpg, that makes sense to me although gamers should be given a choice. Give me a choice at a higher framerate or resolution. It's lazy by developers to not include this feature. I can tell you this right now and I hope MS is listening. I will not purchase another run-of-the-mill console. Stop catering to poor people and just offer one box that is powerful enough to at minimum hit 60fps + 4k resolution. Enough with the lies.

    The more I see about this game the less I care for it.

    There will never be a console that runs every game at 60fps. The reason PC's can do is because of the massive variance between the lowest and highest specs, and the modular design of the hardware. This means that devs are accounting for some very low specs, but they'll be outliers that can run any, and nearly every, at 60+fps, because they've gone out and bought the highest end hardware and do it regaularly in comparison to consoles.

    Consoles by their very design means that once a console comes out, not only does it quickly become outdated because that hardware is a set standard, and set for 5+ years, but that standardisation means that devs do not have to accomodate to much lower specs. They know what their target specs are and they always end up pushing that hardware to its limit, and pretty quickly too.

    Not only that, but high end users are in the minority. Also have been, always will be. The Switch is a pretty cheap, low spec machine, and it has sold 150m units. The Series S accounts for 75% of Series sales, and the XBox One X and PS4 Pro only made up around 10% of their respective sales. Most people do not care for high end performance. "Poor people" are the ones funding the gaming industry.

    I’m a simple man. I see 313 comments on an article, I grab a bucket of popcorn and enjoy the entertainment.

    Devs: You don't "NEED" 60 fps, 30 is fine you dumb plebs for your first person single player experience.

    Me: Well I don't "NEED" to buy your game lol.

    I bet this game will have performance problems, and they already know that, even with the delay, which is why they're downplaying it and trying to make it sound like "artistic direction" now. I don't care how "juicy" the effects are, I want 60fps, not a flipbook slideshow lol. It's dead, Jim.

    Sure, because then that just proves my original point that you lied.

    Your first post: "I literally cannot tell the difference."

    Then you say you went and checked side-by-side after that comment, and then proceeded to reply after that saying you could only tell a difference side-by-side and THAT'S "what you meant" by your original comment... Even though you just admitted you never looked at the comparison until after that original comment..

    Anyways, once again, you have a good day lol I won't bother replying anymore, it's gotten pointless.

    I think it's pretty obvious that I was saying I can't tell the difference when only looking at one. You know, the only time it would matter. 🙄 Or I suppose maybe you don't know what "lied" actually means.

    Is this game going to be playable on an Xbox one through cloud gaming?

    If the xbox wants to be a serious video gaming brand they need to ditch the series S. Even better, go back in time and never release the Series S in the first place.
    The new Indiana Jones game runs at 60fps on the Series S, proving that devs can do it if they put the effort in.
