We all like what seems appealing to us. I've never really been an experimenter with anything - games or otherwise. I see something that I'm drawn to, and if I like it, I stick with it. Forever, lol. The heart wants what it wants, you know?
I've always wondered what a proper upgraded version of The Order 1886 could offer.
Get rid of those black bars on the screen, dial down the film grain, offer a buttery smooth 60fps.
I still feel it's (potentially?) one of the best new I.P of the last 10 years.
It is a shame we might never see a sequel.
Still, a complete overhaul to get that 60fps would be worth it to me.
I'd also like to see a good Superman game and maybe an epic Sci fi adventure that's like a cross between the visuals of Death Stranding, the exploration of No Man's Sky, and the story of Mass Effect.
But, games that are just as immersive or narrative driven don't have the bars and film grain etc...so I'm not sure they are required to guarantee atmosphere.
The 60fps is just a personal preference - though it was really brought home to me how rough the 30 can feel a while back.
I had been replaying older titles on my new computer and was playing something on pc at 120fps, and later on I went back to the Order and it felt awful.
Truly terrible.
Like a slideshow.
Granted, I absolutely had my perception altered by the smoothness of higher fps, and had I been playing The Order from the start again and adjusted I wouldn't have noticed it after a while.
I concede that point.
Still, it was a stark reminder of how choppy 30 can feel if you are regularly playing at 60 and above.
Perhaps, if a ps5 remaster ever appeared (which I think we probably both know won't happen) then maybe we would see several options - be it a 30fps original version with all the stuff you mentioned but with some graphical touches and a boosted resolution, or a 60fps version without some of that stuff.
Like a quality or performance mode.
Anyway, it's probably all academic as I don't think we'll ever see it or a sequel...which is shame as the I.P had real potential.
@RogerRoger I say 120fps, but I think it's fair to say that most people (myself included) couldn't tell the difference between 120 and 100, or 120 and 90.
But, anything 60 or over is fine and going back to The Order and that grainy 30fps (and less in many parts of the game) really did feel so rough and choppy.
The thing is, as I alluded to, and you confirmed and agreed with, if you are playing at 30fps for a while it is not really much of an issue after 10 minutes.
It's that sudden change that makes it such a stark contrast.
I played TLOU 2 on ps4 Pro at 30fps and I had no complaints at all.
Unfortunately, I only have a digital ps5 so my disc version of the game was useless and I wasn't going to pay full AAA on the store just to see at a 60fps...as good as it may have felt.
I only just made it through the original playthrough, such was the plodding nature of the pacing and the relentless darkness of its tone.
