I concur. I played through Skyrim originally on PS3, then got a powerful PC and tried it on there.
I thought the game looked uglier. Now I realize that it might be that the FPS is too high.
- morsch 14y agoYou're not concurring. A jittery framerate is bad, but JC isn't saying that a consistently higher framerate will look worse. He's saying that developers will try to push as much content and single-frame fidelity in there as possible while staying above 30 fps. The whole argument really only applies to consoles.
- Torn 14y agoGame looking uglier? I don't think that'll be completely related to 60fps, I'm sure that's more down to low-resolution textures (that look bad on your HD monitor) and things looking janky. Skyrim with mods to upgrade textures and shaders and things looks freaking amazing.* *And I'm not actually a fan of Skyrim, I dislike Bethesda sandbox games where nothing you do has an impact, but I digress...
- jerf 14y agoIf you pull up a Nintendo 64 emulator or a Playstation 1 emulator and run it at 1080P, it will look far worse than you remember it, because where the low resolution of the old CRT screens used to cover over a lot of flaws, the high fidelity will stick them in your face. Likewise with a lot of console/PC hybrids. What looks pretty decent on your TV at what is actually 720P or even 640P upscaled and blurry is revealed to be somewhat lower detail than you thought on a crisp 2560x1440 screen. On the other hand, if you get something meant to be played there... wow.
