2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

It’s just so responsive, and it has great motion blur. It’s bizarre. How did they do that, and why don’t all 30fps games feel like it?

Frame pacing is a big thing. At 30 FPS you need to deliver a frame to the screen every 33.3333 MS. If the game is doing that consistently it will feel significantly better than a game displaying frames randomly at 30 ms, 33 ms, 36 ms. That could still average out to 30 fps but it will feel bad.

I imagine most console games probably use vsync or some kind of buffering to avoid screen tearing as well. If you’re not delivering your frames on time before that 33ms, it will get delayed to the next screen refresh and that’s when thing start to feel really bad.

Yeah, the frame pacing must be rock-steady

I feel like Tears of the Kingdom does this well. It's usually consistent at 30fps, but feels incredible responsive. Even when I can force the game down to sub 20 fps (I like explosive constructs) it doesn't feel unplayable at all, and I'm usually an FPS snob for my PC games.

Not sure I've ever seen someone say "great motion blur" before.

[–] brawleryukon@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Need to watch more Digital Foundry 😉

Per-object motion blur is actually pretty good if it's not too much. Great motion blur is one that feels pretty subtle and makes 30fps games feel smooth.

Facts. I turn off motion blur in literally every game that will let me.
