Are there any 60fps games out there that you wished looked better with the trade off of 30fps?

Yep. Walking sims? Telltale movie games? All better at 60fps.
Never have I ever.
I know that I am often super grateful that modern fighting games have those deep, cinematic narratives, because a lack of them is exactly what I knew made those games sorely lacking when I started playing SF2, Mortal Kombat and Virtua Fighter in the early 90s! Lord knows how those games ever survived without them.

Not a comparison but if Uncharted 4 were to look as its multiplayer I would vastly prefer 30fps but I guess multiplayer costs its visuals not just because of 60fps but because of more players.
halo 5 on base xb1 is the closest i've ever got to thinking this, since it looked super unimpressive and the dynamic resolution was rough.
but even then it was the right choice. can't compare it to a hypothetically better-looking halo game at any framerate — the tradeoff was what it was and the priority was the correct one.

There's strong selection bias in this premise. Most games at 60fps belong to genres that strongly benefit from it, like shooters and racers.
Though 60fps is always overwhelmingly superior to 30 no matter the genre, even the argument of "well I prefer the cinematic experience" fails to qualify in most examples, because pretty much any cinematic-adjacent title is already 30fps.

I'm not sure if I'd sacrifice framerate, but I do agree odyssey generally looked fine, but I think once they try for 'lesser cartoony' visuals the limits popup.
I've been PC gaming for years. I've only ever chosen to settle for 30fps when my machine simply couldn't run the same game at 60fps even with settings lowered to the minimum.
Framerate is way more important to me than most other elements of a game's performance and presentation.

Have we been frequenting the same forum? These threads always have a vast majority that would rather sacrifice visuals for FPS performance.
Halo 5 was the first thing that came to my mind as well. After the graphical triumph that was Halo 4, I just hoped for a prettier campaign. And with their enhanced BC, it would have held up better since the One X or XSX could run it at the full 60 anyway. Multiplayer 60 fps is a must though
You can compare Halo 5 to the shockingly good looking 30fps cutscenes. But then again theyre cutscenes, those always look better than gameplay even if theyre both the same framerate.
Yeah, VRR would help as well. But I feel adoption of such technologies is going to be so slow, that most people would still have a poor experience.
I guess if someone really wanted to make a game really cinematic, they could go for that, but for the most part I'd prefer higher frame rates, not lower.
FH4 has a 1080p60 and a 4k30 mode.
The 1080p60 mode disables/lowers a bunch of graphical effects on top of massively reducing the resolution compared to 4k30.
But.... I still chose to play in that mode. It's just better. And motion clarity of 1080p60 is still better than 4k30, and especially in a driving game, that is king.

you wish every 60fps game you've played had a 30fps option?
Most of the time, sure, I'd go with this. There are exceptions though
Like, with God of War on PS4 Pro.
The Performance mode hits 60fps surprisingly often, but it isn't perfect, and often fluctuates between 40-60fps, averaging around 50fps.
Despite that, the game is noticeably more responsive in Performance mode. The game simply plays better in Performance mode, despite the judder, and the difference is very noticible. Your inputs translate to on-screen actions with more immediacy, and you generally feel more capable during moment-to-moment gameplay.
I started God of War on PS4 Pro in Quality mode, which targets 30fps at a higher resolution, and sure, the game looks a bit better that way... but after less than an hour of playing around with Performance mode, I couldn't go back.
Is there like a list of 60 FPS console games somewhere?
this thread seems kinda pointless without that info
I probably do, but I honestly don't know what games are 60 FPS
Yeah if those are 60 FPS, I would definitely prefer 30 FPS with higher resolution

I wouldn't want developers to bother. Just if a hypothetical version of the game existed at locked 30fps with better graphics, I'd prefer to play that.
I think devs usually make the right choice. The games that prioritize 60 usually need to be 60. The games that prioritize visuals and aim for 30 usually don't need higher frame rates to be enjoyable.
Idk about 2 but I remember watching the DF video on 3 and it was 45fps, I was surprised since it fooled me.
I am very curious to see what GT Sport would look like with a 30fps mode, considering it is the best looking racer at 60fps, I wonder how pretty it'd be with a 30fps option.
Journey looks better on PS3 than PC or PS4, to the point where I prefer that version. But 99% sure it wasn't the frame rate but just sub-optimal port job.
notta one. 60fps is just so much better it's not even funny.
But those games already look brilliant?
I didn't play them on consoles though, so maybe it's different there.
