My Prediction: 60FPS Will Be Available on XSX Throughout this gen.
- Thread starter AppleBlade
- Start date
I think OP is right. I personally don't have a strong preference though, I think some games benefit from more luxurious graphics, others take better advantage of good performance and for the vast majority it doesn't matter because they don't take full advantage of the hardware regardless. I am happy with developers deciding what's best for their game and happy that this console is so powerful that they have plenty of options and room to play.
I find the doubt surprising, when we saw more 60fps at the end of this gen than at the beginning. Haha, still I don't think all games will provide 60fps. Maybe not even most games. But there will be a steady stream of 60fps games (or rather, games with high framerate options) throughout the entire gen.
Series X doesn't have a big next-gen launch window exclusive unless you mean The Medium? But it's an indie game, not really "big."
Was just playing forza horizon 4 at 1080p 60 on the one X and it's such a better experience than the 4K mode. I'll take 60 any day
I like the medium and all but does anyone really expect it to be in the top 20 of year 1 XSX sales? Cyberpunk and COD and 2k are still a thing.
Devs are going to push 60fps as long as gamers respond favorably to it. Considering 99% of the top multiplayer games are 60fps I don't see it going away as a standard anytime soon.
Obviously there will be 30fps SP games that try to push all the bells and whistles, and 30FPS "high quality" modes in a lot of 60fps target games that find the time, but I do think it will be more common, not less.
I expect xbox first party to embrace 60fps the whole gen as that's been one of their main talking points, describing how important higher frame rates are to the feel and experience of the game. Third parties on the other hand... i imagine we'll see plenty of 30 fps.
I mean i can't see why not. The cpu is almost the same as in the X and from there it's only a matter of will to dumb down the effects and resolution enough for the gpu to handle it.
I think there will be 60fps games for nearly all crossgen titles. Once companies stop making last gen compatible games, the plethora of 60fps options on games is going to dwindle back to what we have now.
I believe it, lots of games are offering graphic, resolution and frame options at launch and its fantastic.
More choice for console gamers of how they want to experience their games.

Do you guys actually think we'll keep getting the same type of games as what's releasing now? With more powerful CPUs, developers can push more complex ai, game logic, etc. Like c'mon.
for ms I think they will always go with FPS over 0 FPS with insane visuals. There games lean more towards 60fps than others. Gears, halo etc
They way they are marketing the series x, I'd be pretty upset if it's anything less then 60.
It's all 120fps this and power that

You're assuming almost every game moving forward will be GPU-bound. Devs will always push the hardware they're given, including the CPU, and that means there will still be plenty of games that won't have a 60 FPS mode. I'm thinking most huge open-world games that aren't cross-gen won't have that option. But I do think 60 FPS will be more prevalent overall than it was this gen.
Microsoft will be the source of wRPGs which undoubtedly become more complex. I really don't see it as game design has always become more complex.
I thought I heard somewhere that framerate is essential for making game streaming feel good, for latency purposes etc. Maybe this is the important third reason why you will see at least first party games at 60fps throughout the gen: MS wants to make high framerate modes to make games work well on xcloud.
Not a brave prediction.
Because the majority of the big Studios will release their games at 60fps.

From first party?
Yeah, almost everything from Xbox first party will be 4K60 or close to 4K60.
From third party? It's impossible to know how they'll approach it.

I do think MS first party will more often target 60 fps while Sony first party will target 30 fps. Halo and Gears did that last gen...

Just be happy that we're getting resolution and frame rate modes across so many titles.
This started this gen. Look how bad some of those PS3/Xbox360 games ran - those were bad times! Next gen will be living in luxury by comparison...

30fps won't go away but this time devs have far more powerful hardware to make 60fps easier to target, with less compromise to graphics.
We are already seeing most next gen launch games offering 60fps modes, so I think many games will have a performance mode going forward.

If a game is running 1080p60 on the XSX, how's the S version gonna run? 576p60? No 60fps mode for the plebes?
Not all studios can spend 6 years making a photorealistic game, and since the CPUs are good, a lot of devs will settle for slightly lower graphical fidelity and instead go for higher frame rates.
The main reason why more 60fps games will happen more often this gen is budget constraints.

I would be ok if such an option would be available to be honest
60fps is not some next gen feature, the reality of fixed hardware development is that devolopers try and get as much out of the hardware as possible. Games being 30fps as long as it doesn't run like ass do not impact sales, having much better graphics, ai, physics, animations and just overall more detail does.
