Games Analysis |OT| Time To Argue About Pixels And Frames!

It is slightly odd, as you would think they would have done it the other way round since you can make the case that it is useful for being able to see where characters are in their environment during gameplay.

I guess they really wanted to accentuate their characters during cutscenes, so it is a personal taste whether you like it or not.

This is also true. We will have to wait and see, but I wanted to point out that all games are different and just because Horizon has these options doesn’t mean that Starfield will be able to have them.

Y’all already accepting 30 fps for Starfield ?

Who is saying anything of the sort lol?

We are speculating that there may be a scenario where Bethesda chooses to push the systems hard and that may or may not entail a 30fps target. At the end of the day, you are always dealing with finite resources and choices need to be made how best to use them.

Whatever it is, I just hope they give us options for performance.

Accepting not perse, but definitely realising the possibility, yep. Todd Howard really wants to go for the visuals with this game , he made that clear in his last interview.

Options are always a good thing though.

Does he? I thought he was more interested in AI

I’d be extremely shocked if it was only 30 fps, only a couple more months to find out.

Not saying anyone here is saying that, I’m just saying in general.

Not accepting… Only discussing it. Also, no one said 30 fps only. Definitely want options and would be disappointed if no 60 fps option is there.

Yeah, that’s pretty much a given though. I expect to see both options like most games nowadays.

It was during the part where he said he wants a higher framerate for racers like Forza and more shiny visuals for something like Starfield. But definitely doesn’t rule out a performance mode with dynamic resolution.

Did One X and PS4 Pro games have games with optional modes? I’m not sure, because if so, Fallout 76 only had one mode.

The only reason for a game to not have a 60 fps mode is if the 30 fps mode is running at 1080p or something

Even at 30 fps 1440p game could be scaled down on resolution to give 1080p 60

That’s the least we all expect from Starfield and all other games. That’s what dying light 2 even provided.

  • Implemented native achievement support on next-gen consoles. Note that as the next-gen version has a different SKU, PlayStation trophies obtained in backward compatibility will not be transferred. Xbox achievements will automatically appear on the new version using the Smart Delivery feature.

This is with regards to the CP2077 update that’s being pushed out right now. Smart Delivery continues to deliver.

Cryptic update to the ray tracing on CP2077 PC that explains the “RT local shadows” on PS5/XSX. The RT shadows setting on PC now also adds ray traced shadows to artificial lights, previously, it was just to the sun light. The tool-tip still erroneously says sun shadows only.

I’ll man up here and say 100% I am perfectly happy with 30fps if it is steady/smooth like FH5. I prefer visuals over performance for WRPG’s personally, presuming there is a notable difference of course.

Something similar to HFW I would be very fine with. The difference can be seen, but it isn’t huge from what I saw. In that case 60fps is the way to go. Same with AC Valhalla, I didn’t see a big difference at all, 30dps in that game was an eyesore.

30fps? With the amount of mods I used for Skyrim stable 30fsp was a dream :joy: So I don’t care about FPS.

Just give that Bethesda style game where I can spend hundreds of hours without finishing the main quest :heart_eyes:

I’ll take both, this ain’t 2011 babyyyyyy

Todd said in an interview with IGN that he prefers 60 fps himself, but in the end it’s about what target they’re going for, like the ‘immersion’ or whatever. I suspect there will be both options. I don’t think the game is going to be so bottlenecked that it can’t get to 60 fps in some fashion.

there will be a performance and resolution mode almost certainly.
