    Sigh...

    Because to the majority of people 30 FPS is fine, and with the consoles running on old hardware these days, developers focus on different things than bringing the framerate up to 60.

    Besides I don't notice a difference between 30 and 60 really, hell 20 is fine for me too, when it gets under 20 is gets kinda bad tough. What is problematic is when a game is having a problem keeping a consistent framerate, not that the framerate is 30 and not 60.

    It's not that bad. The biggest thing is whether the frame-rate fluctuates which can be a problem. Just because a game is 30 frames per second isn't the problem, but I will say that I do like 60 frames better. Also, you're acting like a twat.

    @Video_Game_King: are you serious....you can't tell the difference, you should stop playing NES games and join the modern games. if there is no difference why hell games like GOD OF WAR 3 and CYRSIS 2 run on 60 fps and they used that as a selling point.

    or maybe you are just blind to see such a HUGE difference.

    God of War and Crysis 2 (at least on consoles) run at 30 and maybe a bit lower.

    @Jack268: Vanquish runs at 30, it may look fast but it's the same speed as a Gears or Uncharted

    Because 30fps doesn't have a negative impact on most games. 60 frames is only important for games where precision is fundamental to the experience. Fighting games and shooters need them; Role playing, adventure and puzzle games don't.

    Because they are 7 year old mid range computers. The fact games still look good on them is acceptable.
