CES 2008: Metal Gear Solid 4 frame rate in flux on PS3 (plus two new vids)

Lemmings are really grasping at straws now. This game is going to own. So get on board or get out of the way.NavigatorsGhost

A game made for Wii runs at 60 fps (like Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, Super Smash Bros. Brawl)

Why can't a game made for PS3 run at PS3? What games run at 60 fps for PS3 other than Gran Turismo HD?

Did you read any of my posts?

Call of Duty 4 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma, so far.

Most games don't run at 60 FPS.

I guarantee you that the PS3 could smoke all of those Wii games at 2-4 times the framerate if optimized properly....

it has a more powerful GPU, much more RAM, and a much, much more powerful CPU.

Most of those games run well on the Wii because they're running at 480i/p resolution and they have much lower res textures, less complicated lighting/shading effects, no HDR, lower poly counts, draw distances, etc....

it's been well documented that a lot of third-party Wii titles drop below 60 FPS and the Wii is currently the reigning champion of ugliest console graphics....

But they should.

That's all I am saying.

Is it that hard to understand?

Its sometimes best if a game is locked at 30fps. Ever play the xbla version of marathon at 60fps? That'll give you a headache like crazy. Bad textures at a high framerate, hurts the eyes. Imagine far cry vengenace at a locked 60fps. But games on wii run at 60fps for a good reason. Fanboy or not, you have to admit, developing a wii game is like developing a last gen game. Nearly all developers know how to program for last gen systems easier than current gen systems. Not everyone is completely used to true current gen hardware yet. Look at the first year of the ps2. Most games were about 30fps, right?

[QUOTE="Blue-Sphere"]Topic title's a little misleading, since they say it's "barely noticeable."Koalakommander

It depends much on the player. Some people can play a game running at 10-20 fps and not notice the lagg.
A ditch from 60 to 30 fps would a blind cow notice.

The human eye can't tell the difference after 30 fps (could be lower). There's slowdown in almost every game when you clutter the screen with to many effects -- and dropping down to 30 isn't bad at all.

The human eye can notice, but not on a console since the movement is much slower as you looka round, etc. On a PC you could easily.

OH NOES

there is still plenty of work to be done on this game. especially for prepping it for its 360 release

EDIT: i also loved how the enemies can poke through walls. thats a huge tactical advantage to clip the environment

Keep dreaming ;P

BTW I can't wait to play ME, Fable 2 and Gears for my PC!!!!!!! Talk about losing exclusives!!
