lamao hl2 runs at 30fps on the 360

Funny all the lemmings using cow excuses for the 30 fps.

"Blame the developers."

"I'm fine with 30 fps"

And to the person who said 30 fps is fine for FPS, you got it backwards. Frames per second are much more important for first person shooters than racing or sports IMO. But, the lack of frames on PC will get you killed, if you are playing someone with faster frames. On consoles, if everyone is limited, then I think it's fine.

You, "So you're saying it's going to rain."

I saidit is funny that's all, that it's the exact identical responses used by Sony fans.

hazuki87, no, the OP and others in this thread has stated PC's, with parts that are "weaker" than the parts in a 360, can run the game and its variants better than 30fps. You see the nvidia 6600GT/6800GT mentioned. Lemmings call the RSX a glorified 7800GT, and therefore the 360's gpu faster than a 7800GT, and therefore much faster than a 6600/6800.

[QUOTE="Dreams-Visions"]I think 60fps is a pretty low expectation for a 3 year-old game. 60fps is the bare minimum.

actually 60fps is max, as a tv (HD lcd crt whatever u want) only refreshes 60times a second, so any more fps will not actually be visible

as long as they are continuous, yes they are visible. I don't know where people get off thinking that 60fps (exactly 60 as well, like a milestone) is the maximum speed "teh human eye" can see at.

[QUOTE="smokeydabear076"]LOl it runs at 200-300 fps on my PC.Dreams-Visions

That's ridiculous. On my PC I DLed the demo and it had to be running at 20 fps tops... :(

Ok. I saw the reference..... but the referece is that "Looks like the 360 version has a 30fps cap

"Looks like" is hardly confirmation. Speculation maybe. Observations that may or may not be right.VoodooHak

I doubt when using 'looks like' he meant it literally!

Your reliable source says:VoodooHak

Yes yes, great example of nit picking there. With regards to me calling him reliable, I meant that he would have no reason to lie, not that what he says is 100% accurate.

I never thought he was lying, but the TC shoiuldn't quote Nav as a source of fact... that's what I take issue with.

Doesnt the 360 version get all of the enhacements that ep 2 brings in graphics department? I mean Hl2, and ep1 will look better than their original release.... IDKwolverine4262

I thought they added motion blur to it also like how they are doing it in the game Crysis.

They are making graphical enhancements to it.Kind of like Lost Coast or Episode 1.It's not a direct port of the PC version.

[QUOTE="JiveT"]Wow after wasting precious minutes of my life reading through the neogaf posts looking for what the TC is babbling about I still have no clue. There is no confirmation either way what the frame rate is but if its locked at 30FPS with nifty new effects the original game did not have then that's good enough for a single player FPS experience. 60FPS is always nice but its not crucial unless you are serious about multiplayer.R-Dot-Yung

30 FPS for a FPS with an engine made in 2004 is NOT acceptable

dont spin spin spin

Any news on PS3 development?

There have been many modifications to the engine.It's very versatile.Enemy Territory:Quake Wars is running on the Doom 3 engine which was before the Steam engine and yet the PS3 or 360 cannot run that game.

This game has a lot of graphical improvements and should not be compared to the Half-Life 2 that released in 2004. This is perfectly acceptable on consoles imo. I have games that run at 30fps and look worse on 360. Maybe I just don't feel the need to knitpick every little thing to death like some people here.

Remember, PS3 development was being passed off to EA after what Gabe Newell said about PS3, so don't expect any wonders on the PS3 either.

what a disgrace... even with HDR and shadows is just a 2004 game... and the xboxis strugling to run it

btw. i played episode 1 with a ocd 6600GT + amd 64 3000 + 1gb

1024 x 768 All detail settings set to the highest ( HDR, Reflect all, 4xAA)

constant 65 / 85 FPS

lol 360 lol

Call of Duty 4 looks WAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better than Half life 2 and it runs at a locked 60fps on the 360.

So you just made a complete fool out of yourself.

So....

Any of you guys with HL2 vanilla got the effects the 360 is running?

Didn't think so.

Please the 360 has tons of games at 60 FPS.

Its the dev.

Gabe and his crewjust want to throw the game out there and they don't want to spend the time or money to optimize it.

Again the 360 30 fps games, so topic should be "valve sucks at developing"

[QUOTE="coolmonkeykid"]btw 30 fps is unplayable for any fps game. but i guess console kids are used to having low fps.krp008

And PC nerds will spend their life savings just to get 30 FPS higher in a video game

Wrong yet again..just shows your stupidity. BTW not all of us are poor.

[QUOTE="smokeydabear076"]LOl it runs at 200-300 fps on my PC.Dreams-Visions

yea i hit like around 60-120 depending on indoor/outdoors with game maxed, thats crap that its 30fps on 360

LMAO you spelled " lmao " wrong no but seriously i was laughing pretty hard that you were so excited to make this topic you spelled lmao wrong how much did your computer cost that runs it in 60fps or more and so what other games that look good run in 60 fps and i dont really notice that much of a difference personally most of the timePacBoy23

with the specs he posted u can make that comp for around $500 today maybe even less

man apparently none of you read -- so from now on credibility = just a link? do any of you read the freaking links? if you did you'd all be asking this:

WHERE THE HELL IS THE REFERENCE IN THE LINKED THREAD TO 30FPS ON 360 - I CAN'T SEE IT, IF IT'S THERE IT'S NOT IN THE OFFICIAL QUOTE.

and somehow this thread hits 9 pages *shakes head*

Is this gameplay from the PC version or 360/PS3 version.....

That's an easy one, it's the PC version, look to the right of the screen, it says "shift" and "space".

IGN recently played Portal on PS3 and Episode 2 on 360, but unfortunately didn't mention anything about whether the framerate was 30 or 60 FPS.

There was no mention of any framerate problems however. Would be nice if someone at IGN could clear this up.

So....

Any of you guys with HL2 vanilla got the effects the 360 is running?

FrozenLiquid

(all the extra effects HL:ep2 has)

Where in the link are fraps even mentioned? NeoGAF babble aside, I believe Valve confirmed last year that the 360 versions of Half-Life 2 and Portal would run at 60FPS. The episodes and TF2 , though, were another story.dlind70

i really can't see team fortress having any framerate issues ;) i'm not saying i don't love it (because I do and can't wait for it to come) but it ain't all that visually complicated.

Isn't the 360 equivalent to AT LEAST an ATI X1800Pro or whatever? If my X1400 maxes out the game at 30FPS with 16xAF and 2xAA at 1200x800 (let's then, for the sake of a comparison say it runs it at 800p) then if the 360's version can't get more than 30FPS with 4xAA and 4xAF at 720p then I say it's obviously the developer's fault.

[QUOTE="Hoobinator"]Port from the PC to simultaneous PS3 and 360 platforms. Though I did expect a constant 60fps.Dreams-Visions

Do console games do more than 60 fps?
