How the HDTV killed rhythm action

Former NanaOn-Sha staffer Dewi Tanner on why display latency has spelt the end for big-screen performance gaming. (Industry, PaRappa the Rapper, Rock Band)

I am playing rhythm games on my VITA.
No lag on that whatsoever! Of course, I am playing PSP rhythm games on it (since the biggest rhythm-typeish games arrive a bit later on this year).

I will need to test the back touch lag, because that seemed far below the 100ms latency threshold MS's reaserch team claimed was in modern day capacitive-touch sensors.

Yea i loved rhythm games and i'll probably be playing them on my Vita.

This is pretty much why i stood with Low latency HDTVs like Panasonic's viera Plasma tvs .

But that's an outlandish claims anyway . Rythm games still works on such tvs , as seen with the Hatsune miku or guitar games .

If anything it's usually fighting games suffering the most from input lag . Most modern music games were quite lenient with the inputs

Oh my God, the Viera TVs are the best HDTVs I have ever used for music games.

I play 360 with PC connection and PS3 with HDMI and have no lag problems whatsoever, in rhythm games or otherwise.

All they need is a calibration test in the options and they are set. Pretty poor excuse

Not news. Fighting game players have been dealing with this forever. Just research the amount of input lag on the TV in advance and play your old systems on old TVs.

I'm so glad I still have my old Samsung CRT HDTV (best of both worlds -1080p)
Heck! some of my games preform better on a CRT VS my LCD. 'cough' tekken 'cough'

Ohh! Dat contrast (minus the 1080p)
