Gears of War 3 will run at 30FPS.

"Gears of War chap, Cliff Bleszinski, has clarified rumours on the frame rate for Gears Of War 3. It appears that this time they are favouring better graphics but at the cost of the frame rate.

"Our target is, and shall remain, 30fps,"he said, "When asked about 60 we always respond that we'd rather have the extra juice to put more on screen and stick with 30."

The clarification has been prompted after a Russian magazine published an articleon the upcoming game. According to the magazine the game will feature a new weapon which fires grenades under the ground with the explosive tunelling it's way towards your target. Each gun in the game will feature it's own unique execution move and multiplayer maps will feature constantly crumbling and evolving landscapes."

It's funny when a PS3 game comes out that easily looks better than just about anything on the 360, be it Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, God of War 3, etc. the lemmings quickly say "Oh well that game doesn't run at 60fps so no wonder it looks good!. Well, I find it hilarious that the next big title for the 360, Gears of War 3, will be running at 30fps in the name of better looking graphics. I like the evolving levels idea.

It still won't look as good as the PS3's finest exclusives.

I hope they mean locked at 30FPS, when you don't lock it, it can go higher or lower depending on the enironment, how much graphical effects you're using, amount of things running on screen, etc.

Why would it be fake??If you watched closely of what Epic has improved in UE3 you would know that this shoot is obviously not fake.

[QUOTE="KingTuttle"][QUOTE="Jrfanfreak88"] lol this is system wars...my response numbers are kind of low...shhhhhhracing1750

Pffft...Marcus can't even jump or grab ledges higher than 3 feet. Drake would come at him like a spider-monkey. LIKE A SPIDER-MONKEY, COME ON!

TOM BROKAW IS A CHUMP!

nothing special ....... what is the point of this thread ?

After the pathetic framerate of the first game, I just want this one to play smooth like the 2nd game.

30fps? Thats fine. Even better graphics than Gears2? Thats awesome!! :D

[QUOTE="racing1750"]

Since this is System Wars my bet is that Marcus is going to put Mr. Drake in an arm bar and make him tap out like the J Crew Model ***** that he is! ;) KingTuttle

TOUCHE!

You got me there.

Some games run perfectly fine at 30 FPS, while others should be a 60 FPS imo. One example of this is TF2.. I own both 360 and PC version and I can tell a HUGE difference when im playing at PC versino getting 60-100 FPS and then go on 360 version and its at 30 FPS.

30 FPS is fine for alot of games, but there are some that need more then 30 FPS imo.

Usually I cant tell much differnce between 30 and 60 FPS, but in some cases I can.

Gears1/2 ran perfectly fine at 30FPS, so no issues with the new one being 30 aswell.

With framerate dips,ofcourse.

And that pic has already been posted too much.

Too bad 2 and 3 will probably never come to PC. I've been spoiled by Gear 1 running at 60fps on the PC, no compromises to make on that system! :)

PSSH... but, Ezio Auditore would out run and out-jump Drake then jump down and assassinate Marcus...multi-plat wins again!

Will still be a great game, most games run at 30fps aswell. Now if it was 10-15fps then thats another story.

[QUOTE="Teufelhuhn"]This has to be the least surprising news that I'll hear all day.anshul89

Is it even possible for UE3.5 to run on 60 fps when restricted to console hardware?

In other news, I STILL HATE MICROSOFT'S SHIFT TO ANTI-PC BULLCRAP!

Seriesly, do people actually pause the game every frame just to count how many it would affect the gameplay?Bazooka_4ME

Not all games need to run 60fps, 30 is just fine.

30 fps is perfectly fine,especially for consoles.Good locked 30fps with good motion blur can seem VERY smooth...just look at Resistance 2 or even Gears,they are super smooth and lot worse gfx in exchange for bit smoother gameplay is stupidity.

Gears is slow paced so that's not a problem at all.
