i was so looking forward to this game. this is a bummer for me. i hope this extra time will be worthwhile and hopefully when it comes out it won't disappoint. i love the whole back story for this game. just really hope the game play holds up as nicely as the cut scenes and trailers.
 
:slap I was really looking forward to this title. Had read previously it was going to be a June 2014 release.

Oh well. Last of Us HD is definitely on my list now as a summer game to pick up.

The game looks great in motion, but other than the graphics, they really haven’t shown anything that separates this from other 3rd person shooters. I hope a lot is being held back.

Yeah gameplay-wise looks kinda pedestrian at 1st glance, but the characters and story feel super interesting to me, and the trailer has some very well written lines.

Plus WEREWOLVES! :panic: I remember playing a Pandora box game thing that had Werewolves but this is SO much better.
 
Is that condescension?

Sure, why not. No, it was an honest question. In my mind, preferring a lower frame rate is a lot like preferring a lower rez. For film, I can see the argument that 24 fps is the standard and doesn't need to be higher, but gaming is a different animal.
 
Very well then.

No, I don't prefer lower res, unless it's intended and serves a purpose within the experience, like retro games.

But I do like 30 fps single player story driven games, providing it doesn't intrude with the gameplay, so it has to be by design slow paced gameplay.

It may be a different animal, but this is an aspect by which movies and gaming are both affected, multiplayer games and fast paced games must run at a higher framerate, I acknowledge that, but a higher framerate makes the narrative/cutscenes and slow paced gameplay look cheap and arcade-ish, much like in movies, anything above 24fps makes it look like a soap opera.

This is why I like the idea of this game running at a steady 30fps, but it's like that by design.

Interesting. As far as I know, there's never been a game that ran at 30 fps by design. It's always a case of concession. 30 fps is considered the bare minimum of acceptable fps and developers will settle for it to get better textures, physics, lighting etc.. I can't think a time when it was an artistic decision for the sake of style or experience. It's always been a simple case of hardware limitation. Higher fps in film looks odd, but higher fps in gaming looks great regardless of genre or style of game as it doesn't work quite the same way a film does. I'm not trying to challenge someone's opinion as that's pointless. I've just never heard anyone have this opinion before. In any case, you're in luck as most big budget games still run at 30 fps and probably will on consoles for the foreseeable future.
