"It’s a first-person, single-player game, you don’t necessarily need that 60 frames."

Absolutely bizarre that a 1st party title doesn’t seem optimized for the console they’re developing for. This makes me skeptical the PC version will be optimized too.

    Just because 30FPS has been a standard on consoles for so long doesn’t mean it should stop there.

    There’s no reason to not advance if they got the opportunity to do so, the entire gaming industry benefits from it.

    Xbox is just not capable of handling the game at higher framerates, that has nothing to do with console wars or whatever, it’s just the limitation of the hardware and it being an underwhelming console in general.

      Consoles are $500 gaming machines, generally capable of about 30fps in games. It’s no different for Microsoft or Sony.

      And Nintendo… Well, Nintendo is Nintendo.

      The bean counters have decided that people don’t want to spend more than that on videogame consoles. If you want more fps, luckily everything gets a PC port nowadays; and your almost-certainly-more-than-$500 rig can handle that.

      It is what it is.
