@NFJSupreme: @silversix_: There's many different reasons to go with a lower FPS. There's a lovely (and short for people who don't like to read) about the difference between 30 FPS and 60.

You very well could be right that they're trying to achieve 60 FPS and can't, so they're opting for 30, but there's an interesting phenomenon that goes on in message boards where standard gamers pretend to know everything about game development, so I like to consider all options before just up and assuming things in areas where I don't possess and intricate knowledge.
Dude that is just one person's opinion. I can promise you that developers aren't deciding to lock games at 30fps on console for a better "cinematic" experience. That is just what they say to remind people that 30fps really isn't that bad. 60fps requires basically twice the power of 30fps to run. That is a lot of resources to just opt into or out of on a whim. To run a game at 60fps vs 30fps or vice versa will require you to change resolution, assets, AA solutions, texture quality, draw distance, and a host of other settings low and high level to do. A lot of sacrifices have to be made to make a game run at 60fps on weaker hardware. It wouldn't look the same as the game running at 30fps on the same hardware. Matter of fact it would look worse even with the higher frame rate.
Fact is by all accounts the Order is really pushing graphics. This means 30fps on console. You can quote me on this if you like. Put it in your sig for all I care. Hell a mod should probably sticky this. ALL PS4 AND XBONE GAMES THAT ARE EXCLUSIVE GRAPHICALLY INTENSE GAMES WILL BE 30FPS. How else are they gonna get a 7770 or 7850XL to run graphically intensive games that look next gen? The 7850 can't even run Far Cry 3 at 60 fps what makes you think it will be able to run The Order and they are just deciding not to for more "cinematic" feel. Lets not be naive. The limitations of these consoles are pretty clear.
Even if they were force 60fps, cuts will be made elsewhere and this means resolution. This is why BF4 is 900p and 720p on next gen consoles. But the fact is 1080p, 60fps, graphically intensive game = PC not these consoles. These consoles will give some combination of those three but not all three.
