PEGI to add FPS ratings

Since the release of the current generation of consoles the topic of resolution and FPS rates has been a lively one.

While some people claim that the human eye cannot distinguish the difference between 30fps and 60fps, others are very quick to show side-to-side comparisons which blatantly prove otherwise. The loudest group of them – the PC gamers, especially John Bain, better known as the famous YouTube celebrity TotalBiscuit.

I think we're gonna see that 30fps sticker a lot :P

Featuring_Dante3241d ago

Well, to seeing more 60fps games. It should be standard.

d_g3241d ago

PC gamers be like where is the 120fps rating ?

equal_youth3241d ago

hm not bad... but what about games that cant handle a steady frame rate?

PygmelionHunter3241d ago

Introducing... The 24fps "Cinematic Experience" sticker!!!

FlexLuger3241d ago

'dynamic framerates'... lol

dumahim3241d ago

Yeah, like Forza. 60 during gameplay, but down to 30 during the transition screens.

Do they rate PC games? How will that work? Never know what the fps will be for someone due to their system.

Razputin3241d ago

Smart thing to ask. I'm assuming that if they do put a FPS sticker, it would be the minimum and probably state that it can exceed it.

Or the possibility of an "unlocked framerate".

Hopefully this comes to the US as well. Publishers need to stop with their shenanigans and be upfront with their games.

Zeref3241d ago

I don't see the point. A "Ready with minimal bugs" sticker would be more useful.

Razputin3241d ago

HA. That would be golden.

I'll gladly welcome that. It is why I tell people, game on PC -- not a job at consoles I have them all, and get your games for at most half price of the MSRP.

Why should I pay full price, for a half ass game.

I got Batman Premium for $28, Mad Max for $24, and Witcher 3 for $18 -- though I did buy the Collector's Edition of Witcher 3.

Scatpants3241d ago

How'd that Batman work out for you?

Kalebninja3241d ago (Edited 3241d ago )

@scatpants those with good enough PCs barely felt the effects of the bugs. Getting the games premium at a fraction of the price was well worth it. No matter how its put a good $70 was saved on batman alone.

Sly-Lupin3241d ago

A new "Nintendo Seal of Quality?"

Never gonna happen.

Let’s School review - Games Asylum

Games Asylum: "Well, this is uncanny. This school management sim bears a startling resemblance to Two Point Campus, especially when it comes to planning and decorating rooms. Be sure to add a window and a radiator, along with a plant or rubbish bin. Indeed, certain aspects are almost identical – it’s just like revisiting Two Point Campus, only something is…off. It’s the visual style that leads to the uncanny valley feeling, using a low-poly PlayStation/Saturn aesthetic. An odd choice, considering the 32-bit consoles didn’t have a great amount of management sims. The PS1 did have Theme Hospital though – with Two Point Hospital being Campus’ predecessor, so we guess we can give it a pass on its artistic intent."

I almost bought this yesterday lol. Then I remembered I have 1000 games I need to play and I would probably touch this once.

"Can we get a redeploy option? Or a killzone?" Helldivers 2 players want this change

After being forced under the map with no way to escape, Helldivers 2 was an option added to force respawn so they can get back to action.
