I am such graphics (visual) Enthusiast but 60 FPS improve so much game feel!!! Which you choose?

Yeah I want that eye candy. In Fotza Horizon 4 I switched between 30 and FPS a lot at the beginning but in the end went for those sweet graphics. Stable 30 FPS are perfectly fine for almost all games in my book.
I'll take any visual sacrifice necessary for solid 60fps. However 60fps need to be stable, none of the "fluctuating between 30 and 60" bs that e.g. Ratchet & Clank A Crack in Time has. The best racing game ever made, F-Zero X, is the prime example for how important 60fps is:

I always try both options on the One X when they are available. Always end up playing in performance mode.
There's a reason Call of Duty has done so well with the casual market over the years, and I'd wager 60 fps is a big part of that. Players noticed in the PS3/360 era that it felt much better to play than other games.
if devs aren't targeting 60fps next gen, then their priorities are jacked up.
or at least give people a rock solid 60fps (or better) performance option.
options are fine.

and yet some of the most popular console games are 60 fps games. fortnite, siege, cod, fifa.
and the most consistently popular pc games run on toasters like csgo, valorant, lol, dota2.
30 fps is not a "dealbraker" for most people but even if the "average" casual player doesnt know specifically about the definition of framerate, they certainly will gravitate towards games that have higher framerates because, they are simply better to play. Better motion clarity, less input latency.
there seems to be a considerably bigger push towards 60 fps with next gen than ever before - and for good reason.
I said I can barely tell the difference. Like if I play them back to back I can tell (again not enough to care), but if I play them with any sort of a gap then unless pointed out it doesn't stick out to me.
And yes some people aren't as sensitive to this as others, so thanks for pointing that out I guess?
60fps is stale to me now. When i got a 144fps monitor my mind was blown.... Thats some smooth ass gaming. 144fps make 60fps feels like 30fps.
Yeah I was a little too glib there. I meant if it's a large trade off between visuals and frames, most casual players would pick visuals. But you are right, it definitely depends on the game type.
I think 60 should be the standard this gen and I hope developers can find a good balance between performance and visuals at this level.
The sacrifices needed for high frame rates will be evident in the 120fps games we get on console this gen. The recent DF interview with the Dirt 5 developer was pretty fascinating regarding 120fps on next gen consoles.
Hmm I think awesome games I've played in 30 fps with high graphic fidelity (TLOU2, GoW, GoT) shows that 30fps is not be all, end all of game visuals. To some extent I think TLOU2 in 30 fps kinda makes it more film-like. But we all know I'd be glad to delete that take from my history when it (hopefully) eventually comes out at 60fps on PS5 lol. Just saying that a SOLID 30 fps doesn't bother me much.
