DICE targeting 30fps for Battlefield 3 on console

30fps is much more cinematic. I always found it funny how CoD is meant to be so cinematic, yet it looks like a soap opera because of that framerate (too fast and smooth, with zero motion blur).

I'm fine with 30fps. I would rather play with 60fps but 30 is good too.

"targetting" :lol: So they're saying they're nerfing the game so much just so it can run at 30FPS :lol:

PC version ftw :D

Ugh, I'd hate to play at 30 fps.. It's so much better at 60 fps. It makes a huge difference in BC2.DragonfireXZ95

No...no difference in 30 and 60...next argument please..

probably you mean more unplayable :P but whatever helps you sleep at night.

Yet there's a difference between 24fps and 30fps? :? Not only can you see a difference between 30fps and 60fps, and can also feel a difference, and it's a wide chasm of a difference.

That's false lol.

[QUOTE="HaloinventedFPS"]

this is why COD wins on consoles

60fps, sorry dice, BF3 is not going to touch MW3

DragonfireXZ95

I already said this in another thread regarding BF3. If you're playing on a console...

Well, if they want to challenge COD, they have to make the game playable on consoles too. But I'm afraid that no matter what they do, they'll never achieve that.

I feel sorry for people that game at 30fps.SamiRDuran

30 FPS on console isn't that bad, the controller has enough lag to it that FPS lag is less noticeable.

Under 40 fps on PC I notice it, but console will be fine.

60fps is overated

Not on the PC. Playing any thing less than 50-60, there is a noticeable sluggish feel.

On a controller, a steady 30fps feels smooth.

Still...NO...not a real difference in 30 and 60 and if it matters how you play your game you need to move on to something else..maybe some Galaga or Asteroids..DUH...WINNING!!

So you are saying that your plan is to get a setup that runs Crysis below 60 fps? If not then ... what?

Options are good right? If I have the $ for epic hardware, and someone else doesn't, in your mind that is wrong?

[QUOTE="haberman13"]

[QUOTE="CwlHeddwyn"] PC gamers act like they all run everything at max above 60fps but the reality is quite different. I've been reading up on hardware because I'm looking to get a gaming PC and I see that lots of set ups run games like Crysis well below 60fps.CwlHeddwyn

Nobody is pretending. All PC gamers understand that hardware == performance; honestly that is something the consolers seem to not understand.

You seem to be arguing for "socialist gaming" whereby you feel mad that someone might be able to run at 60fps while others can't.

Again - options are good. In the console world options == bad - when you switch to PC you'll figure that out pretty quickly.

30 fps is playable. 60 is better, but 30 is still good. Unless i am able to upgrade my PC by its release i will be playing it at about 15 fps, so I don't see why people are complaining.

This was expected really since BC2 was in 30 fps I believe

Still...NO...not a real difference in 30 and 60 and if it matters how you play your game you need to move on to something else..maybe some Galaga or Asteroids..DUH...WINNING!!

VanDammFan

And still there is a massive difference between in 30 and 60. In fact it is so massive that is not even worth to play BF on consoles, I mean who want to play with 720p, 30fps, low-medium settings, less players, etc.

Lol @ all the elitists. Bf3 will play just fine at 30fps. I'll probably get it on 360 just because I prefer triggers and force-feedback over eye candy. How many hermits actually chose 60fps in Crysis over better gfx anyway?

Sure, but there would be obvious drawbacks to that in mp. Maybe they'll let me buy the SP on pc and the mp on console?

Well a lot of PC gamers are going to play it in 30fps also, especially if they want the eye candy.GeneralShowzer

I think its common knowledge thanks to steam surveys that most pc gamers aren't elitists the need $500 gpus to have fun in a game. That's all I'm trying to say in this thread. Some people have serious cases of big truck syndrome.(not aimed at you).

I get 100+ FPs at 1080p on bc2, i should be able to get 60+ in bf3

Seems people ignored my comparison video. :(

every shooter other than cod is 30 fps. so i dont know what the big deal is. this is also one of the reason people love cod on consoles.

Does frame rate actually affect input lag lag and controls? I don't see how that works. I've heard some CoD fans say that but I think it is because they are used to playing FPS games as a floating gun rather than having any sense of weight

If the game's renderering at twice the speed, the input registering will be twice as accurate. You can feel a huge difference between 30fps vs 60fps, aswell as seeing a huge difference.

I think 30 FPS for a game like battlefield will be fine, but you do always want at least 60 FPS is a FPS for less input lag. I have played BC2 on the 360 and the frame rate didnt bothered me at all. Having played Blackops on the PS3 I"ll tell you the frame rate is more important in that game, as I found the game to be almost unplayable. The whole time the frame rate bothered me it felt like it was running at 45 fps, and everything just felt jerky. I think COD benefits more from the 60 FPS as its a twitchy fast paced shooter.
