You don't want movies to look like THAT do you? Higher than 24fps in movies makes them look cheap and unnatural.
Are you impressed by the newest best graphics anymore?

A lot of this is also due to what you're used to, not what actually has the potential to look good. Give that same higher framerate to something like sports, and it's a clear improvement.Forlorn Drifter wrote: That explains so much Boring!

Oh, I know its what I'm used to, I just never understood why really. I knew they were shot different, but didn't how it was different.isiolia wrote:A lot of this is also due to what you're used to, not what actually has the potential to look good.

If it's 50 fields per second, that's 25 frames per second. The "natural" frame rate for films is 24. Not such a big difference.

No I don't mind the posts about the films at all, I like it when they branch out, but I specified that this thread isn't about "gameplay being more important and graphics not mattering" or "good artwork makes up for the graphic engine being average". We have 200 threads about those things.MrPopo wrote:You're just going to have to accept that threads have a life of their own.ZeroAX wrote:Did anyone even read the first post?

Recent games and movies have gotten to the point where I don't even know what to complain about anymore.
