For example, I used to buy tons of games in steam sales that I'd never otherwise buy because they were $5 instead of $30 or $12 instead of $50, etc. New hardware has come around, they moved the game up to 60 fps and greater resolutions.Īs far as the whole 'PlayStation Syndrome,' sure, maybe it's possible you'll miss games that way, but I think Gamepass is creating the same problem as massive steam sales: you get access to so many things all at once for such a low price, you aren't very intentional about many things. But, even if you look back at TLOU on PS3, they chosen details over framerate and the game often dipped well below 30 fps. I see 30 fps as a minimum a games need to be viable. Now, if we were seeing framerates of sub-25 for extended periods of gameplay that would be worth complaining about. Just because we are in a new console generation doesn't mean those trade-offs disappeared. They have chosen to start day one with a more detailed environment. You can have greater detailed environments or faster framerates. People think this is great for a driving game, but, nobody who has actually played the Forza Horizons would concur that 60 fps is a requirement.įramerate is a tradeoff choice.

And judging from past Forza Horizon games that all shipped with 30 fps on day one that did not affect their scores with reviewers negatively. Just because a game is not 60 fps doesn't mean it can't be a great game. There are a lot of GOTYs that were 30 fps. I am not sure why people are making a big deal about 30 fps.
