How is this in any way a bad thing? It's just the devs adding in more options for people who may want them. Now, those people may be insane, but more options isn't ever a bad thing.

>15fps cap
like, I could maybe understand 20 (which is what a handful of 5th gen 3D games ran at on the Saturn and PS1)
30 is fairly standard
...but 15? Why?
like, even as an purely optional cap, it's silly as shit

admittedly, it's a really fucking low number to target, making it easy to achieve on nearly anything, but it's barely on the threshold of even being fucking "full motion" rather than a very literal slideshow

>>388887871
15fps lock even optional is a bad thing because
1. The game is barely playable at such low fps
2. If it becomes mainstream, devs will care even less about optimizing their game because it's "normal" to play at 15fps since there's an option
Even if you're playing on a potato there's no way you would want to play at locked 15fps instead of unlocked, there's no 15hz monitors

>>388886269
>we want the dark souls audience

>>388887871
Completly agree. Its just /v/ focusing on one aspect of the game and overreacting just to shit on it.

15fps mode is for anyone with a toster so more people can play.

>>388889525
Obviously because 15 divides nicely into my 165hz monitor

>>388888732
You're an ideot and represent the worst kind of pc gamer

>>388886269

>>388889664
You just said it's barely playable. Why would it become mainstream?

>>388886269
There is no way whoever said "i enjoy 15 FPS" was being serious.

>>388886269
This is baloney

What community? This is a new IP.

So you're talking to some literal whos, and you ask them what frame rates they tolerate? Why? Or they brought up that they play at 15 fps? Why?

This seems like an extreme contrivance to say "hey look how thoughtful we are" for some unknown audience for some feature no one could conceivably want let alone have a conversation about.

>>388886269

uhh, I guess that's fair

I don't know who'd want to play something other than like total war or xcom at that framerate, though

That's bullshit. That's utter bullshit and I don't believe it. I've tested games that were running at literal 22-24 fps due to shitty optimization. Not only does it hurt the eyes and cause headaches, you can't properly react to anything going on.

>>388890010
I know it will never become mainstream, because there's no reason someone would want to play at locked 15fps
I added "if" because OP said it's not a bad thing (and would probably like to see this in more games)

Why do I have the feeling the devs are so autistic that they couldn't spot obvious sarcasm.

>>388888732
I disagree. I remember having a Radeon 6450 and doing everything I can to play most games, Crysis in particular. Playing on PC you shouldn't just be about getting the highest resos and FPS, but the most fun possible on a tight budget, especially with how poorly optimized most newer games are.

15 frame per second. I aint a FPSfag I normally don't give a fuck up 60fps and 4k because I aint a fucking mongoloid like TB and all that bollocks but 15 fps will be like watching a fucking slide show.

>>388889664

Variable fps locks have been a thing for a while now, they're just usually more about keeping the game from running at 300fps and burning out your CPU/GPU in menus or throttling down the GPU/CPU load when you alt-tab out by limiting the fps than about locking to 15fps because you want a consistent framerate when playing on your toaster/ultralight laptop/etc. I doubt this is going to introduce some new trend of 15fps being the standard for console game framerates or anything ridiculous like that.

>>388889664
What if the devs get comfortable locking games at 7FPS?

Fuck that
I got a vita when it came with borderlands 2 (fuck you, I never got the original vita and the extra hour of battery appealed to me) and that was such a miserable experience. I WANTED to give it a chance even though I was never a fan of Borderlands in general, but it was so damn shit.
A game like that is one of the worst experiences you can get. I never wanted to be an fps kind of person. But when the framerste can drop into the SINGLE FUCKING DIGITS, IT'S NOT CINEMATIC, IT'S A GOD DAMN SLIDE SHOW.

>>388890854
>but 15 fps will be like watching a fucking slide show.
Not 'like', dear consolefriend. There've been studies done on the point at which sequentially played frames begin being interpreted as a moving picture instead of just a series of flashing images. The "threshold of motion" if you will. There's some debate over where it is precisely, but there's no ambiguity over the fact that 15 is below that point.

>>388886269
Almost TWICE as cinematic as actual cinema

>>388891264
Even Console players would lose their shit over 15fps.

This is a completely different scenario. This doesn't affect the game's content whatsoever, so nothing is getting dumbed down or casualized. It just lets poor people with shit PCs play.

This is a false equivalency. You think because they worked on this, that if they hadn't they would have worked on something else. What's more likely is they would have done nothing.

Seriously, now you're just grasping at straws. The only time physics get wonky is if they're tied to framerate. If a game has an unlocked framerate, obviously it's not gonna affect the physics.
