Do consoles even need higher than 30fps?

With the slow movements and turning with a controller, i cant see how you would even notice the difference as long as the fps remained steady at 30.

That's why a lot of people like CoD. It almost never runs at 60, but sure tries and you can feel the swift movement compared to other games.

Most Nintendo games are at 60 FPS and I love that they are at that framerate.

Also most racing games they should be at 60 FPS or higher.

For a few genres, yes.

Stable 30 fps is enough for a feeling of fluidity and many devs like to sacrifice the framerate for more detail but obviously 60 fps is better. I think the fps standard next-gen should also be increased (atleast the fps lock should be at 60 fps instead of 30).

Nah, most casuals(ie the majority of console gamers) can't even tell the difference between 30 and 60 FPS.

actually black ops on the 360 was pretty dam close to hitting a 60fps avg. it was a 57 fps avg.

Some games don't others are much better with a higher framerate, really depends on how fast the in-game movements are

30 fps is more then enough

30fps is enough for me, I couldn't tell you if the game was running at 60fps or 30fps just by playing it. I'd have to do a side-by-side comparison to tell, and even so I don't see the big difference that everyone claims is there.

Depends on the game. Some games actually get a cinematic feel from 30 FPS, and analog sticks lack precision anyways, so it's not a huge deal.

Yeah, if you have vision problems or have never witnessed 60+ fps in most of your games.

Yes, I played Bad Company 2 on 360 and on PC at 60FPS+, big difference, I can actually play better in 60FPS. It's so smooth and responsive it's unreal.

I bet that if you took a game running at a steady 30 fps and one running at 60fps the vast majority (not just casuals) wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

i feel sorry for anyone that games at 30fps. you cant imagine what you are missing.SamiRDuran

Don't care at all. As long as it's above 20, I really can't tell a difference at all between 60 and 30, and I have to think people are tricking themselves if they think they can. And that includes PC games, though I rarely play shooters on a PC anymore.

The vast majority of TVs don't go beyond 30 anyway, right?

I'm not completely sure, but I remember reading that UC2 and KZ2 play at 30 fps, and they were great games. GodofEmpires

First of all, yes they do. Second of all, not every game is an FPS.

You can definitely tell a difference, it isnt even up for debate.

Yes, 60 fps makes a huge difference

Nah,30 is fine for almost all games,regardless of the platform.
