John Linneman and Alex Battaglia share their notes on the Starfield Direct, discuss why the game is 30fps on consoles and what 4K on Series X actually means.
30fps is fine with a corresponding level of graphical and world fidelity, I would love to see a 40fps / 120hz option as it feels so much better than 30 fps and is likely achievable on consoles.
The FF16 demo is a perfect example of an awful 60 fps option as it dips well below that constantly and makes the whole presentation so much more blurred. A well designed / curated 30 fps mode works for slower paced games, it’ll be interesting to see PC performance and whether higher frame rates are accessible on reasonable hardware.
