Since YT went 60 Hz, I prefer watching GB videos there...

I'm pretty sure the GB player (or at least the HTML one) supports 60 fps.

Polls are totally broken btw so don't expect actual answers from that.

I like the 60fps on YT but is it just me or do the videos at 60 look like they need some Anti-Aliasing? And its not just video game footage but real world stuff.

videos on the site have been 60 fps for awhile.

I'd rather have 60fps than whatever the compression for GB videos tops out at these days.

Or no, I'd rather have 1080p60 than whatever the compression tops out at these days, and they get good mileage out of the compressor. We're in a new console generation where 1080p is the standard on one of the consoles, and the experience is seriously ruined having to stick to 720p. It sucks. 60fps is a huge thing, nice to have 720p60 but to those of us who got used to sharp 1x1 pixel to panel with the PS4 quickly it sucks.

@thehbk: I don't think they need AA, but YT videos are heavily compressed, often to the degree that they turn into a muddy mess. I always turn on 1080p video on a 480p viewsize just to get reasonable detail out of YT videos.

My computer can't handle the giantbomb videos in fullscreen. It goes really choppy and loses alot of frame rate.

But my pc can handle youtube 60fps just fine :)

Sooooo the choice is obvious for me

I can't watch 720p anymore due to the 60 FPS. That really sucks. I actually watch more videos on Giantbomb again now.

Yeah, the videos are 60fps here and in better quality than YT so of course I'll watch them here.

Giant Bomb videos are at 60 fps. And even though they're only 720p, they look better than YT's compressed-to-hell 1080p videos.

I download HD versions from the site for 60 fps and better (less) compression but I sometimes watch on YT recently since the GB website has been slow as hell for downloading. I get 13MB/s down and downloads from GB can drop to 0.5MB/s.

I watch quick looks on YouTube and download everything else.

Videos have definitely been 60 fps on the site for a while.

Are the videos really all 1080p on Giantbomb? They don't look very sharp to me. Maybe the studio cameras aren't great but I don't think the video quality is very high.

Giantbomb videos still look better. Mostly due to less compression and higher bit rate. The 60 frames comparison is silly as Giant Bomb has had 60 frames per second capture videos on the site for a couple years at least (even on live shows). Youtube is only now catching up.

Youtube does look better than it did, but Giant Bomb is ahead of the curve on video quality. The player can be buggy sometimes, but I download most stuff anyway so that doesn't affect me much.

Videos have been 60 on the site for well over a year now, probably more than two years.

Maybe 60 fps is exclusive to premium members? I use the html5 version of videos and they are definitely 60 fps (when the game is 60 fps).

I prefer YouTube because the player is a lot better.

Nah, I think the other players also support 60?

I've seen 60 on this website for over a year now and I haven't been using the HTML player, but this player (aswell as Gamespot's player) is really bad and choppy. I don't know why, but I think it has something to do with ads being launched in the background creating brief stops in the videos, or maybe because Internet Explorer is a jerk. Regardless I still prefer just watching videos here.

streaming videos from gb is unstable, some days things work great, some days you cant stream a thing.

Any game that has enough movement that 60fps video matters is ruined by youtubes shitty compression. I'll take the framerate hit if I can actually see what is happening on screen thanks.

This is exactly what I do. I am not a fan of the GB video player at all.

hold your horses one second there duder...

shouldn't real world stuff look terrible? Who does real life in 60 fps? I didn't think that was a thing! O.o

I try to walk at 30fps to appear more cinematic. The reality is that walking at 60 takes it out of me - Need to get a pair of those new Nvidia lungs in SLI...

It looks weird in motion but i am talking about the image quality itself, like I am seeing a lot more jaggies.

lol oh god no it's one of those sounds like a joke / could be the terrible future. Pro tip: if you walk at 24 fps then it will really look like a movie.

You know I don't really know what that is but my sense would just be YT`s generally not so great compression. Probably they will get a balance at some point but I bet in some places they are sacrificing fidelity for file size / streaming speed, and that ends up in your jaggies. Just a guess!

Giantbomb's video player doesn't work great for me so i generally use the youtube settings if i have the option.

Haaaaa

I always download videos. YouTube's only 60FPS in Chrome, which I'm not using, and the Giant Bomb player tends to stutter for whatever reason (probably because Flash is garbage, HTML5 runs fine but has a higher CPU impact). VLC has neither of those issues for me, and it comes with a bunch of other bonuses, so I much prefer to download and watch them locally instead. Also, the question seems kind of silly as Giant Bomb has both the 60Hz refresh rate and better (read: less) compression. It's really more a question as to whether the GB player wants to work as intended, rather than its theoretical output.
