    I don’t get the controversy over 30fps. Like I played RDR2 at 30fps and didn’t even notice it.

    The gameplay itself is far more important and on that front Bethesda has been second to none. There isn’t even one single game that comes close to what they have achieved in The Elder Scrolls. Kingdom Come: Deliverance was close but much smaller in scope (which makes sense given the size of the studio).

    I’ve played every single one of their games since Morrowind and while Fallout 76 was a flop and Fallout 4 was perhaps a bit disappointing, at least without DLC, almost all of their games have been incredible.

    In Todd we trust.

      30fps is not a stylistic choice, it’s due to hardware limitations. A higher framerate with no motion blur is preferable in nearly all circumstances.

      Sure you ‘get used to it’, but I could say the same thing for playing games while in a room with a strobe light flashing in my eyes. Yeah my gaming experience isn’t materially different, but I’d be a lot more comfortable in better circumstances.

      Once you’re used to higher framerates, 30fps is a big downgrade, with motion blur smearing things around to keep it from looking like a slideshow.

      RDR2 came out last gen. Since the release of newer systems it’s been standard to a have a 60 fps option.

      The minimum requirements for this game are very high,and that’s for running it at 30fps. Add that AAA always have problems at release + it’s Bethesda… So I bet the game is going to run terribly.

      (Also I’d rather have 60fps and last gen graphics than 30fps for a game with shooting and fast-paced action)
