Is Bloodborne proof that 30 fps still works?

A bunch of multi-platform games and exclusives that were forgettable... Underwhelming year and a half to say the very least...

There was never a single second when I thought any game played better at 30. 60 is always better, without fail.

Bloodborne is my favorite Souls game and the best game I've played this gen. But it would be an even better experience at a constant 60 FPS. Even though it's never happening, a PC port of this game would be a benefit for everyone.

Pretty poor trolling attempt, OP.

The only proof i can see is that current generations hardware is weak as hell.

Now , do 30fps work ? Yes they do if game is awesome enough but in the end of the day 30fps is 30fps ... and its bad.

Bloodborne is a high rated and highly praised game, Bloodborne runs at 30fps, therefore 30fps can't be anything but amazing.

Cows did the same with TLOU Remastered, "OMG, 60fps is so smooth, Naughty Gods were right, they showed us, I don't want 30fps no more, bring UC4 baby!!!11".

UC4 60fps dream dies: "well 30fps is just good enough for this type of game, I actually think 60fps would ruin the cinematic feel".

Maybe we can call it the Solid Game fallacy.

lol that POS game doesn't even run at a steady 30fps

See with things like this these companies should just wait like a year and then release on the PC, what would that hurt? Allow the game to benefit your platform and soak up all of the relevant sales you can in a year, then target an entirely different platform while possibly getting double dips in the process... It's a win win.

I'd support it 100% but there's zero chance of it happening since Sony co-developed and published Bloodborne

A pager still works, a tube television still works, a cell phone from 2001 still works, a 1993 Accord still works

Having something that works and having something that's optimal are 2 different things.

Bloodborne is proof that the consoles are shit and they ruin a perfectly good game due to their technical limitations. I have the game and the frame pacing issues are terrible. The loading times are atrocious. I got a PC that would tear this game up and then Sony is cock blocking with their shit hardware. Fuckin consoles. Worst.

Of course TC disappeared. He'll be back if someone agrees with him though and ignore every other comment. Just like all his threads.

I love Fromsoft- I really do. But since when have their games ever kept a steady 30 frames? Let alone 60. Even Bloodborne dips below 30 in Old Yarnham. I don't think they give a shit, though. I don't either.

Just checked the calendar. April 1 ended yesterday, well, at least for me.

Tolerable? Sure. Better? Nope.

lmao. Perfect.

30 fps has always worked. It just doesn't work as well as 60 fps or higher.

@Kaze_no_Mirai: drive by trolling, as he's been described before

loosey is that you?

Why are your threads always shit? Your idiocy isn't even funny anymore, so you can drop the act now.

The video game "bloodborn" uses what is commonly called "drunko vision", to do (what is commonly called), "blurring the shit out of everything to incomprehensible levels".

If Bloodborne framerate was good, it wouldn't be in the minus section of many reviewers , would it ?

Ps. And my gosh, TC, please travel to the land of OZ, and ask the Great Wizard there for brain.

He must've drunk some of the kool aid The Order devs had.

What's more, the game can't even hold a stable 30fps.

Solid SONY Lied they said this generation would be 1080p 60 FPS next gen graphics

thats what your boss sony said 30 FPS is not 60 and sony said that it was all gonna 1080p an 60 fps and no less tahts on you and sony they said that

Agreed.

Bloodborne 1080p 60fps coming soon.

On PC.... lolJK

PS5 Remastered.

Anyway, whatever frame rate Captain Toad runs at is the perfect frame rate - but I bet it's not 30.

Actually i much prefer Bloodborne to DS2 but i would love to have it on my PC where the game would be done properly, the framerate on the PS4 version is pretty bad, the graphics while brilliant artistically and technically to a point, but are let down by very bad aliasing and massive amounts of pop-in. Then there's the 40 second plus loading screens that can really be a nightmare when you're getting your ass handed to you repeatedly by the G man.

You don't have to be a hater or a fanboy to want to play a fantastic game on a superior platform, hell you cows don't shut up about how your PS4 versions is better than the Xbones.

@GoldenElementXL Indeed, Bloodborne is a fantastic game despite it's graphical and performance flaws. That said I haven't been this addicted to a FromSoft game since DeS and the PC gamer in me would love to see it at 4k 60fps.

@SolidGame_basic ...

@SolidGame_basic:

1080p@30fps > 720p@60fps

30 frames works just fine in singleplayer games. in competetive online games you'd often want to get higher framerate. ofcourse 60 frames is always better, but i'd rather have the maximum graphical fidelity at 30 frames, than stripped down graphics at 60fps.

Right... Weaksauce consoles are weak and sooo much mooaar cinematic. :P

the problem is that it's not always able to maintain the solid 30fps, but 30fps would be enough.

Disagree. I'll turn down graphics settings to get a game at 60fps if I have to.

Id take a frame rate uptick in bloodborne over any other gripe (if there is one, the game is exquisite)

Actually, I'd take a frame rate uptick over any other graphical improvement any day,especially with a game like bloodborne where the graphics are nothing of note.

60 fps will always be better than 30. It's much smoother. I'd rather have that than much prettier graphics. That said, bloodborne is a ton of fun and when I get a chance to play it at home, I'm instantly hooked. It's a great game and one that shouldn't be missed.

It was a real jarring transition going from DrkS2 on PC to Bloodborne because of the drop in fps.

The reality of the situation is that the average gamer does not care about framerate or resolution as long as the game is fun and plays well.

Less frame rate, less gameplay.

For me Bloodborne, just like Souls, is a Marmite game. I can't stand horror or hack & slash titles so fall into the far side of the hate category. It makes me laugh that this is probably the best PS4 game so far because I have no interest in it whatsoever and can't be the only one because it's somewhat of a niche genre. The best console exclusive for me so far is Ori and that's on PC too, so I've still yet to see any compelling reason to get a PS4 or Xbox One for their 'amazing exclusives.'

As for the FPS thing, it's moronic to suggest that 30 would ever be an improvement on 60 and anyone who says that obviously hasn't had the chance to experience it. I only recently have myself, moving from an HD 7850 to a GTX 970 and the difference is like night & day.

I wonder what the X1 and PS4 are truly capable of at 60fps. The wiiu games at 60fps look delightful.

I wish they fixed the stutter, toned down some of that visual flare and added AA.

Pook99: Sorry but when the game stutters all over the place it takes away from the gameplay.

Bloodborne would be a lot better at 60fps.

Feels more cinematic at 30 and dips to 24

The graphical quality of Wii U games in technical department is a joke though therefore a very easy task for 60fps. I prefer something wonderous at 30fps than something that looks one of the same at 60fps. Cute graphics and artistic appeal is what im looking for personally.

But the fact remains. This console generation is already outdated and if they still cant do 1080p/60fps , something im gaming on the last 7-8 years or so ... its a bad sign for the future ... We gonna have limitations again ... less res or less fps or both or ... I mean its 2015 dammit! Then console companies wondering why PC gaming is the king in almost every single way other than some awesome exclusives consoles having.

@groowagon: I'd take a fast framerate over resolution any day of the week, twice on Sunday.

When you're synonymous with world class gaming like SONY is, the simple answer is yes.

I'd take shorter load times. Last time I experienced load times that bad was with Lego City: Undercover.

@freedomfreak: I feel like I have the ps4 that doesn't have terrible load times on bloodborne... Or maybe I'm just too busy saying "Bloodborne!" in a menacing way (think Paul Bearer of WWF fame http://s1.ibtimes.com/sites/www.ibtimes.com/files/styles/v2_article_large/public/2013/03/06/paul-bearer.jpg?itok=FoZ0hAHJ ) to even notice.... Its maybe at most 30 seconds for me.

I get some weird stutters in audio all over Old Yharnham though and it drives me a little nuts.

Even though I don't mind 30fps....I would prefer 60.

Games look good at 60fps.
