I love 40fps modes it’s the perfect medium on console . I hope more games follow this route

Wow what a treat to listen to a calm collected discussion about games and their problems, without having wide eyed ranting, shouting, and hand waving, rage induced people, demanding that things be done the way they want them done.

Alan Wake 2, it's your turn now.

40fps should be the minimum for quality presets. 30fps is a slideshow in 2024

40fps should be the absolute bare minimum all games on console should be targeting because 30fps is horrible. While 40fps is still low it makes such an enormous difference to the smoothness of the frame rate.

Nice now I think I will give this game a try on the Ps5. 40fps looks really good for me on a vrr display and I mostly choose it over the 60fps performance option because the image looks mostly much better on a big screen.

Especially for great single player campaigns; buying a game at launch means paying the highest price for the worst experience. Waiting a year means you get a feature complete, fixed product when you boot it up. Ironically, new games may cost upwards of $70, but games in a finished state cost $40.

I still can't do 40fps, I'm very fps sensitive though and for me around 50fps is my hard minimum on a VRR display. I stop seeing a framerate increase at about 70-80fps+ but I can definitely see a difference between 60 and 70.

We need more games with 40fps/120Hz

I have been impressed with 40 fps modes as well. I wasn't expecting it to be much better than 30 fps, but I definitely feel the improved responsiveness over 30 even if it doesn't look quite as smooth as I'd like. I don't even consider 30 fps, but depending on the game I have a tough time between 40 fps and 60 fps modes.

I’d like an update for Outcast…

recently grabbed a new ps5 copy for USD$30, was thinking of PC steam but too pricey ($USD 42 on sale and $70 normally!), glad theres a 40fps mode will play through those settings. :) might get the pc one once it gets a deep ubi discount to 10-20 as a next gen tech demo.

5:23 can someone confirm that they actually did fix that FSR bug on the Series X?

Oh well I'll miss out this one as I don't have a 120hz tv.

How does Ubisoft release Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, then a bit LATER release Skull and Bones? (I know different developers but still.)

Rebirth mainly needs HD textures for a lot of objects. The distant rocks in Nibel are insane. And fix pop-in. I hope we get to see this on PS5 Pro. An artistically beautiful game that is quite limited by these.

do we all want games on consoles in 1080/60+ textures, shadows, aaa, all on ultra??

pretty sure when games run at 30fps in reality are running between 30 and 40+ fps so this means that in order to have a stady 40fps mode you need to achieve 50+ so almost a 60fps game...

Just tried the 40fps mode on my XBOX as I’m currently playing through the game. It’s a solid option but I’m still sticking with 60fps. I just raised the sharpness value on my TV a bit and everything looks great while at the higher framerate.

I still dont know which version to get. PS5 or Xbox Series X 😵‍💫

I'm loving this focus on 40 FPS modes. If your game can't quite reach 60, then a good 40 mode (perhaps even unlocked with VRR and LFC, like Insomniac do it!) are absolutely the way to go. 30 FPS modes need to be the fallback modes and should get phased out. Also loving that they are offering controls for per-object/camera motion blur with intensity sliders. So many games just have motion blur on, which blurs EVERYTHING to an insane degree if you so much as touch the controls or motion blur off which completely kills it for everything.

I have approx 40 games in the queue for me, so Cyberpunk will be still fresh for me, approx in 2025 :D I have so many games to play, but limited time for this hobby.. So goes without saying I am never buying a game above 19 EUR :D

Issue I have with this game is lighting flickering all over the place after 30 mins to 1 hour play reason I stopped playing months ago hoping it would be fixed by now but no... only game that does this for me on the series x

Does this mode offer identical image quality as the 30fps mode?

I'm Xbox series x I've been playing on performance I love this game , I think I'm going to switch to quality this next time I have a little play time I want to see the difference ,

I wonder if it possible for youtube users to be able to experiance what 40fps in games feels like if the DF team uploads the video sped up and asking us to play it at slowed down.

Great visuals. Dish-water plot and writing.

I dont have the option on my series X what am I missing ?

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a stella experience. It's a masterpiece for those who appreciate spirit, essence, nature.

I tried 40fps on Fallout 4 and was very surpised how smooth it was. But I still prefer to play at 60fps .

13:10 weren’t games 15fps? So technically they were broken, I mean by you guys standard.

Oh, trust me, waiting is no problem - especially with new games coming in at 80€. Games are getting longer and longer, and the market is flooded with competing games. So yeah, I cherry pick my games, and stuff like no performance mode is a deal breaker for me - stopped me from getting a Series X for Starfield. Also, still waiting for a true fix to FF7 Rebirth's performance mode. On PC, I regret my Early Access for Baldur's Gate, because despite my feedback Larian to this day hasn't included UI scaling for Mouse and Keyboard users, and I doubt my current hardware will even be capable of running Act 3 for how poorly optimized that seems to be.

Bought the game on the summer sale and once again shows how critical 40fps is in this current generation of gaming. This game would have been completely unplayable for someone like me before the 40 fps version. The game at 30fps is unplayable in first person outside of walking and the game at 60fps looks last generation in resolution and some visuals. Truly the only option to play this game is at 40fps.

I just realized that Frame-Gen could work absolutely fine on 60hz displays with an unlocked framerate mode. A mode that doesn’t require 120hz display or VRR, sure it might get some screen tearing here and there, but It would be way better then forcing people to buy a 120hz display and locking there fps to 40fps. Rainbow Six Siege runs at an unlocked frame rate at around 148fps average on PS5, on 60hz displays. This should be a toggle for more games in my opinion. Frame-Gen could work ”fine” in these situations ”sometimes maybe not”. Most games with a stable 55-60fps would probably be key here for a non v-synced (unlocked framerate). Unleash 60hz Monitors once again, what would this help? Well it could and will decrease latency alot, and could help with motion fluidity. I hope they configure this as a test on the Immortals of Aveum game soon, and I really hope its not just a 120hz VRR mode locked variant.

Been waiting for 9 years. At last I got 60fps on Fallout 4. 😂

5:28 I would play it but I am a broke as hell.

Ues we need 40fps for Rebirth! Especially ps5 pro!

I much prefer to have 30FPS and much higher quality than 60FPS etc. my TV have variable refresh rate so I can unlock higher frame rates. The drop in quality in game for me is way too great for me to care about the FPS. People used to moan about PC gamers now console gamers have had it a couple of years they’re unbearable with it TBH. Play as you like. You get the choice. Stop going on about it! 😂

No queremos ver caras, queremos ver el juego.

Soo Ubi/Massive just made Avatar 50% faster. I can't believe people still shit on Ubi. But Ubi should not lie so often in the past. But we need to get over it.

Bought this tonight on PS5 and went straight in with the 40fps mode. The amount of shimmering and image breakup when panning the camera is god-awful. Fantastic lighting, geometry, and density, but terrible IQ in many instances. Such a disappointment. Still, it's great fun to run around the world.

That'll be rough to play on Portal, but honestly, I'm still going to take it. 40fps modes should honestly be standard, not going to miss out on it just to have remote play optimal.

Is there a real reason why 40fps works better on ps5 over series X? I have both systems and was thinking about getting this game on series X because it’s open world. I’ll get the ps5 for better 40fps. I noticed games like Fallout 4 does better on ps5 than series X at 40 fps. Avatar now. Even horizon and ratchet and clank ran better in 40fps on ps5 over the series X where it couldn’t even run it, running at 0fps (just kidding)

PS5 is a beast!

Yeah on the Steam Deck, I run more intensive games at 45 FPS and it's fairly fluid.

is that a new guy on the bottom right? looks unfamiliar

Nothing comes close to horizon forbidden west performance mode still it looks insane still

I stopped buying on release as tired of seeing huge additions months after release and usually when i have or nearly finished.

Now all they need to add is “fun” to the game.

FINALLY

30 fps is just unusable

How do you get your appointment about 40 FPS being much smoother because sometime on certain games 60fps or above to seems wrong for example I'll go back to a basics Fallout 3 I used to play that game on the PS3 it was horrible but it was good then I had it on the steam deck and was able to run it at 60 FPS but the problem with that was it was too unstable for me to enjoy the game way to smooth and it just didn't sit right with me so I changed it to 40 FPS and it was perfect 30 FPS was still choppy 40 FPS gave me the Best of Both Worlds it wasn't too choppy and it wasn't too smooth I did try to do 45 but obviously it didn't work well so I have stopped 40 yes we all know that 1080p 60 show me the minimum but due to the quantity and quality of used generation and game developer games need more power consoles are becoming outdated like yesterday a great on one side but bad for other reasons I feel like PlayStation and Sony are becoming Nintendo mean the games that come out I just technically for Casuals I don't mean the games I mean the consoles itself now there's a bigger gap between consoles and PC once again we are behind more behind than we Once Was there was a time where concert was above PC there was a time where Qantas and PC were on the both same playing labour field and now it's like we moved backwards so what's the plan how are we going to fix this

ironic about stellar blade since the first update made it worse

I have a 120 display 😁

Omg this just a meme now glitches on the xbox version is the cause of lower framerates😂

Its 2024 and we are celebrating 40fps to be great, what an amazing time we live in!

Hey people. To me 60fps should be the minimum since most people already own a 60hz TV. Not 30 not 40, 60fps should be the standard nowadays 🙄, but something tells me that they're doing this because Sony is about to announce the pro version of the ps5 so they also need a reason to make people go and buy the damn pro. Sneaky, Greedy Greedy Sony. They always have a plan that benefits only them. Our consoles are fine, it's them who don't want to let us truly enjoy our setups. All it takes is a nice update focused on performance management and everything will be fine, but they're saving it for the pro version 😉.

Shame about the game part of it.

Don't like using 120hz or 40 frame mode the picture always looks dark and dull

Never could quite get into 40 fps modes - still looks too juddery when compared to 60. If it was the only option, it’s better than nothing- but 60 is still miles better.

Looks great on my 4090 😅

40 fps is the only way forward for console gaming.

No excuses the devs can implement FSR2 or FSR3 into their game to achieve 60fps they are just lazy

Still a blur when actually playing the game, 60 FPS bare minimum. No amount of word salad changes this.

It's 2024 and we're calling 40fps great. TF kind of tech dystopia am I living in???

Console gamers are used to low fps and blurry image, small improvements impress the unter menschen.

And this is why the PS5 is 10 times better than the Xbox ❤

I'm starting to see a trend that I dont like with 40fps.

Consoles suck! Enough said. I run through the woods at close to 80 fps.

Anything below 90 fps is not good. How can you accept it and call it great?

Nice to hear about superficial and/or not very rational opinions, after the absurd intro on the frame time which at 40fps would be somewhere in between, even connecting fluidity to it. The frame time is where it belongs, at 45fps it will be lower, and making that partial calculation is intellectually dishonest, as well as absolutely absurd technically. Stop amplifying every feature on console, it's stressful having to shut the mouths of children who take you as law.

If you have a 120 hz tv you'll LOVE 40fps. 👍🤡🤡🤡

TrashBox less stable? Don't remind me...

1080p60fps should be bare minimum already. Wtf is wrong with the devs?!
