It all depends on the game. Racing games, with the scenery going past you at the sides of the screen, you can most definitely tell a big difference between 30 and 60 or over. I used to do sim racing on my PC and sometimes I can get over 120 FPS on some of the simpler "home made" tracks we used to run on - and I can assure you that you can tell the difference. It's BLISTERING smooth at 120 and you can feel micro-bumps that are simply blended out at lower frame rates.
This so many orders of magnitude beyond wrong that I wouldn't even know where to begin. You have clearly never played serious FPS gaming on a PC with a mouse and keyboard. Maybe watch some videos of someone like Fatal1ty making 1ms 180 degree snapshots with a rail gun and averaging 95% accuracy in a game where $250k is on the line... "anything past 24 FPS is negligible" ............ Oh... My...
Nope never played anything more then a Nintendo game boy. Never competed in online rFactor and NR2K3 racing leagues, or played COD. Didn't build an $8k 32 core, nVidia 3d gaming rig either. This is a MOBILE RELEASE. Expecting 120 FPS is ludacrous. And thinking that anything above 25 FPS on an LCD screen pushing 60hz is truely noticable is just plain silly.
Between 25 and 60 fps, even on a mobile device, there's still a huge difference. Now between 60 and 120fps it's getting harder to tell (on any screen) but anything below 60fps is noticeable.
Indeed. Standard movie FPS is 24 and has been for almost a century. When the first Hobbit movie premiered in 60 there was a huge controversy on whether it looked good or too "fake". So the average person, even non-gamer, can definitely notice the difference. I don't play games competitively but I sure do appreciate one running at 60fps. Motion and animations look so much smoother and realistic.
Well there's your problem right there. You played COD. No but seriously, it's in fact silly to believe frame rate can ever not matter. Even on a teeny screen.
Never said it didn't matter. Meant to say that a smooth 25 FPS is more then acceptable to play on a phone.
Sorry, got it mixed up with high frame rate games. My opinion- high rate great for games, sucky for video.
Who are WD? So, the controls for this are a nightmare huh? Kind of knew that would be the case. I've yet to try a GTA port on iOS that wasn't a hateful reminder of why it's a complete waste of time trying to cram console controls onto a touchscreen. That's why I got my Vita for Christmas, I have spent the last 4 years trying, so hard, to enjoy iOS gaming but with so many of the big, deep, promising games fall back on virtual sticks. I instantly write-off anything with virtual sticks now. It simply cannot be done with anything like the reliability and responsiveness most games that use them demand.
WD are War Drum Studios, and heh...you're taking Sidgoku's post seriously? The dude finds faults with any and everything under the sun. The controls have been perfected since Vice City port. Also, the game has controller support, so if touchscreen controls aren't your thing...there's always that.
Agree to an extent. But I was getting frustrated with the controls and ended up getting a Moga Ace Power thingy for Xmas (really just to see what it was about and be at the bleeding edge as I like to be ) and oh boy it totally transforms the game back to what it should be. The pluses even overcome having to play on the smaller screen (was playing on Air before). Having said that if you can overcome learning to deal with the on screen controls it's not so bad. They need to fix the multitouch recognition though (sticks think you let go if you tap with the other hand etc).
The problem with you is you do make problems out of things nobody cares about and you blame it on poor optimization and whatnot. I don't know what Android device you're playing this on, but it runs buttery smooth on my Note 3 with pretty much everything turned up to 11. Either get a new device or stop playing games that run like shit on yours, because seriously; ever since you joined us over a year ago, the only thing I can recall about you is other people complaining about you derailing threads with non-stop optimization bullshit and ruining threads for others.
