Do you think we get 120fps games next gen?

We already have Dirt 5 announced for support with Polyphony and Infinity Ward showing interest. Might be a couple other games already confirmed; can't remember right now. Maybe Gears 5 MP?
PS4 technically has 120fps already because of PSVR. Though theres very few of them even then. I imagine we'll get games similar to overwatch and other games with more simple graphics at 120fps. Big AAA singleplayer games will stick to 30 though
I don't even want to think about 120 FPS.
I don't know how my computer could possibly handle it...

Yep. I reckon there will be a few more shown at MS's event.
I'd love to see it, as my monitor does 144fps. It's great. Having said that, I do notice diminishing returns as the frame rate goes higher up.
30 to 60 is a huge improvement. Anything over 80 is sublime, and at that point it all seems amazing to me. Other people may disagree

Sure, you'll get 120fps. Just don't expect to see it at resolutions above 1440p, or with other graphical settings cranked up. I expect that any 120fps/framerate mode will probably cap out at 1440p with a nice blend of graphical settings cranked up and definitely no real-time raytracing stuff.
I think we can close the thread.
THe answer is YES because we have atleast 2 games already confirmed to have 120fps.
Yes, a lot of indie and smaller games will probably use it. Games like Peggle or Spelunky shouldn't have a hard time reaching 120 fps.
Some ports and GaaS games I think will. Later into next-gen, I think we'll be back to 30 FPS for many games.
For the most part no but there will be a few, far less then we got 60fps this gen and we didn't get much of that.
Microsoft will absolutely deliver some sort of 120 fps content but I assume it will be very specific and very slight.
Sony? Naw. They make gorgeous 30 fps games. Maybe something 3rd party?
Nintendo? Oddly enough, maybe? They're crazy enough to do anything.
So yes. But probably rarely.

Blizzard still not enabling cross play between consoles. They probably will find an excuse for not pushing 120fps.
I disagree, games that are better 60fps are usually 60fps. Most MP shooters aim for 60, most fighters aim for 60, and some racers.
I don't think it's complete unreasonable. Games like OW2 that don't seem to be making a huge graphical leap would be amazing to play at 120fps. I'm aware that it's an enthusiasts request.
It's likely going to be more of a target for games with PC releases. A lot of the lower end 4K TVs out there (I.e. Black Friday models) have low refresh rates and wouldn't take advantage of it. Depending on the overhead to try and get the game optimized to run that high, it probably won't be worth the effort. I'm not sure how prevalent those lower refresh rate TV models are though.
For consoles, a very few will, but they won't be the norm, especially since 120hz TV's aren't the norm. Most devs would rather take the time somewhere else or just doing 30FPS/60FPS options.
For PC though, I could see more games not arbitrarily locking the FPS anymore which will be really nice.

They won't be common but they'll be around. Esports FPS, especially cross-gen ones have a shot at it. Mostly racing and sports apart from that, among higher profile games.
Indies with art styles that make for lighter GPU loads will have a decent shot at 120 as well.

There are some 60FPS games sure but... Look at GT Sport or the latest COD. If I recall correctly neither manage to get a stable 60 frame rate on the base console (which is the bigger install base unlike the pro) and let's not forget that COD is also severely gimped in graphics when compared to PC. So why push for a higher frame rate if instead you can push for better graphics?
Most of the people will notice the higher refresh rate, but everyone will notice the better textures. The biggest issue for this and why it's unlikely to happen is the install base of high refresh rate TVs. Most of the TVs are at 60hz, and the ones that boast higher numbers are usually bullshitting with marketing gimmicks. Without the proper TV, no point.
In the end, if you want to enjoy the glorious world that is high frame rate, just play on the PC
I was thinking about fighting games a couple days ago actually. You wouldn't want faster than 60 fps, would you? Wouldn't it throw off your "cadence?"
I guess there are fighting games on PC now, but I don't know how people play them. Like do they cap them at 60?
If devs are willing to sacrifice resolution and graphics to some degree, no reason why not but I will be surprised if we get a lot of 120fps games, knowing how most devs like to push graphics.
