Red Faction locked in at 30 FPS

Red Faction as been locked in at 30 FPS.
Now, Im sure people are going to complain about this.
But, Im not.
Know why?
Because for once we got a Revolutionary FPS on our hands and Im not going to ***** about the Framerate.

:rolleyes:

You might want to play the actual game before you call it revolutionary.

30FPS?

:rolleyes:

well, they talk like 30FPS is a really good thing. Why doesnt everybody take Timesplitters and make a bunch of games using that game engine. That game was super fast!!!!!

Well, Red Faction for instance couldn\'t be done with Timesplitters -engine, as it has the Geo-Mod -feature ( blast everything into pieces ) - and I\'m up to sacrifice 30 FPS for the feature and the ground-breaking graphics.

If it doesn\'t slow down from that - it\'s just fine.

60 would have been nice.

But if it never dips, that would be okay..

What!!! 30 FPS!! I\'ll pass on this game!,  Nah I\'ll still get this title.  

Jumpman,
name another FPS thats even TRYING to accomplish what THQ is.
Even if this game is terrible.
It still is REVOLUTIONARY, and I dont have to play it to tell you that.
Ill have to play it to tell you its good.
Just read up on the game.
You have to agree this game has done something radically new.

yeah jumpman stop complaining, rather a locked 30 that a unstable 60, oh and perfect dark featured a crappy framerate! even with expension pack

30FPS is good!

But why cant they get it up to 60FPS??
Common, is it that hard?

I mean, look at one of the best looking games.
MGS2 and GT3. They run at a solid rate of 60FPS!

/FAST

It is a shame,but i want to see the game before i decided what to do,but i am glad that it stays at 30 fps rather then,it changing from 30 to 60 back to 30,that gets on my nervers.

What a jackass, you\'ve seemed to journey into a whole ne realm of idiocy lately, what gives ???????

Teh Geo Mod Engine is a first of its kind and will definetly eat up processor power.

What would you rather have a smooth 30FPS or a choppy 60FPS

30FPS will work just fine if the game offers the experience it boasts which I believe it will.


Another reason why this game isn\'t running at 60FPS like MGS2 and GT3 is because the game is being simultaneously designed for the PC and it was started on the PC 1st, so you know the PS2 code is using PC port code. If it was a PS2 game only from the ground up 60FPS would probably be possible.

As long as the game runs smooth im not going to be a little cry baby cause it doesnt look godly,i mean geo mod is going to be awesome

[nO-One]

As long as the game stays above 24fps and doesn\'t have slowdowns it\'ll be fine.

Yeah I agree, 30 fps is actually pretty fast, I mean its actual slowdowns which bother me, I couldn\'t enjoy SSX cause of it.

So if im happy you lot should be

Anyway Quake 3 is 60 fps but it does slowdown, I actually would prefer 30 fps as long as there is no slowdown, seen some video footage today and there didn\'t seem to be any slowdown.

30 FPS fine.

Slowdown Not fine.

I think it will be "locked" at 30 fps.

Lets hope so.

I was under the impression that it was almost impossible to tell the difference between 60 and 30 fps, since our eyes see only about 25 fps.  The reason they always try for higher fps is so that if there is a slowdown, it doesn\'t dip below the dreaded "visible" threshold.  Correct me if I\'m wrong (but it seems to me that I always max details on my FPS computer games untill the fps is 30-40 and they run perfectly)
