Titanfall Day One Xbox 360 Patch Allows Users To Lock Game To 30 FPS

MP1st - After a pair of delays, Titanfall is coming to the Xbox 360 this Tuesday. But information on the title is still scarce, even so close to its launch date.

[nucky64]

this sounds like the most ridiculous update i've ever heard of.

[Rivitur]

Well it's not that ridiculous it's what people have been wanting from Second Son so why not have an option to have a consistent framerate. I think this might catch on with games that can't constantly hit 60fps.

"it's what people have been wanting from Second Son"
infamous rarely has frame problems...its not something people have been waiting on. the fact that it runs so smooth as a open world game with visuals like it has..i was surprised about how smooth it runs...jus sayin. i think if anything they are waiting on dlc...the friggin game is awsome. the option is cool though. i'll never dislike more options. but its truly not necessary for iss. tf yes maybe..its already a sin to have a twitch fast paced fps without 60fps. to lock it at 30 or 60 shouldn't be an option but a necessity.

[fr0sty]

At least it doesn't dip below 30 like the X1 version.

[Bigpappy]

30fps locked is actually a major accomplishment. I was thinking that was the high mark, and that it would dip below that when titans fall from the sky or explode. Not bad for an online 360 game.

[Army_of_Darkness]

I thought titanfall on 360 was already Set at 30fps? What's going on here??

[starchild]

I hate uncapped framerates, like most people do. There are a few people that don't seem to notice judder very much just as there are people who say they don't notice screen tearing, but most people are bothered by such things.

The whole reason games were always capped at 30fps or 60fps is because on a 60Hz display those are the only two framerate options that won't result in judder. Well, technically 20fps wouldn't produce judder either, but it's simply too low for games.

It's also the reason Nvidia created the G-Sync technology. An uneven framerate is extremely understandable for most people.

[badz149]

Lol according to Respawn, fps is king but wtf is this? 30fps is king now?

[brich233]

Over 90% of games on the 360 are 30fps. If you don't like it get on PC or x1

[tracyllrkn]

But Respawn isn't doing this port, so there's that.

[xX1NORM1Xx]

I disagreed because respawn made the x1 version and the PC version someone else handled the port

[starchild]

It's not just about framerate averages, though. It also has to do with how smooth and consistent a framerate is. If you your framerate is fluctuating all around it produces an uneven controller response and jerky or juddery motion.

A lower, but more steady framerate is usually considered superior to a framerate that averages higher but fluctuates up and down.

[brich233]

You obviously dont realize the importance of a constant framerate.

[Tempest317]

@kingthrash

A lot of people have asked for infamous to have a frame lock...some people are more susceptible to fluctuating framerates. Im not one if those people lol but its definitely one of the most asked for options, right next to an option to change time of day.

OT: I hope this becomes the norm, and I hope more devs also go the route of ff14, and give the option to change between 720p/1080p

[Santana]

Not really, considering that Xbox One version has issues with it's fps dropping.

[Kingthrash360]

i still havent seen a 360 version running...has anyone seen it?
if so link please.

[CernaML]

A local shop near me has them in but I havent seen it running. At least theyre out in the wild now.

[TomahawkX]

I think people will be surprised at how well the 360 version looks compared to the xbone.

[u got owned]

It runs at 30fps that is a big difference

[incendy35]

So kind of like Second Son.

[imt558]

Second Son has framerate over 40 fps and rarely dips below 40 fps, dude

[bumnut]

It must have screen tear if it runs at 40 fps, thats why games get locked at 30 fps.

[incendy35]

The new Second Son patch let's you lock it at 30fps. Just like this patch is doing.

[starchild]

Every "30fps game" would run well above 30fps if you uncapped the framerate. Rendering loads are never equal from moment to moment in a game so 30fps has to be the MINIMUM framerate in order to maintain 30fps.

If you uncapped any 30fps game it would often pump out framerates into the 40s and 50s at times. It's normal to have a 15 or 20 frame variance between different rendering loads in a game.

In any case, Infamous Second Son runs closer to 30fps most of the time based on framerate analysis videos I have seen. I have it and it's a beautiful game, but I do look forward to the patch because I hate judder in my games almost as much as I hate screen tearing.

[porkChop]

"Framerate is king"

Uh huh, next time you say that try releasing a game that actually runs at the 60fps constant that you claim it does. It's unbelievable that this game actually hits single digit fps occasionally. That's not a fault of the Xbox One hardware, that's just some really poor optimization on an extremely dated engine.

[PersonMan]

What the hell is wrong with having OPTIONS. If you don't want to lock the game down to 30, then don't, but don't bitch about it being there when it's totally OPTIONAL.

I'm so sick of people hating on us because we like consistency over having the game just pump out as many or as few frames as possible. This introduces a lot of judder.

But, when you play a game like AC4 or Need for Speed Rivals, the frame rate is so solid that you don't even notice that it's 30fps. It's the consistency that makes it so smooth and it's a joy to play.

[TheSaint]

Still no gameplay, anyone know why not?

[Santana]

Servers are't up that's why. Though I have no idea why Bluepoint nor Respawn haven't shown anything.

Hopefully on Monday they give us a glimpse.

[kingduqc]

lul console

30 fps is so 1999

[Clown_Syndr0me]

Tbh the visuals on the X1 version aren't great so I wouldn't be suprised if the X360 version nearly mst hes it.
Still great fun though but doesn't replace BF4 as mu regular FPS.

[Activemessiah]

Heard it's not Respawn that's working on the 360 version...
