Apparently every RTS on console (which is pretty much 360 only, I don't know if there is any RTS games on PS3) other than BfME - is gimped heavily, and then has a bad frame rate put on top of it just so to see how often it can make you do this:
Warhammer Battle March came out for 360 recently, man, I can't imagine that on a console. Let alone supcom with it's enormous scale.
Man, I hope Halo Wars and Endwar are good - console RTS may be a step forward but it seems to be quite a letdown recently.

I haven't played many on a console that had framerate issues. Though the ones I have played it was ... kind of annoying. Gears was one, I think Shadow of the Collosus had this happen a bit, too. The frame-rates have been only barely sketchy, though, so I can get over it.
Overall I don't think it's as much a comparison of generations so much as a comparison of developers wanting to use more resources than they have available. Or at least not trying to super-optimize their code.

Oh yeah guys, lets not forget Mass Effect on 360. Dead Rising also had it's issues but it was actually doing pretty good for the majority of the game.
Lets hope the Fall update can fix that issue, assuming everyone is willing to install the game.
Any other console games with a noticeably bad frame rate even though they shouldn't have anything less than 40 FPS?

I actually wouldn't mind if they'd stop making supremely pretty games which suck massive ass, but... that's just me.Khell_Sennet post=9.71235.717618 said:
I would like an option on the Xbox 360 dashboard to use a higher frame-rate with Standard Definition visuals as I don't have HDTV yet seem to be paying for the computational cost of it in the overloaded render cycle. Maybe this could be done by having more than one version of the game on the DVD as you may have to stream lower resolution textures from closer to the DVD drive's spindle to get close to 60fps, whilst an HD enabled game would use the version around the DVD's outer edge.
Personally, I found PGR3 at 30fps acceptable, but I've played games that are lower than that, which periodically turn to 'treacle' and I just feel that the developers need to rein in their ambitions rather than have us play the barely functioning prototypes of the next generation.

Killzone's shoddy framerate was only part of the problem, though. Fixing it would make it better, of course, but that doesn't go very far to actually making it a better game -- just a mediocre one which is slightly less painful to play. This is a fact that developers are going to have to learn sooner or later: pretty = better but pretty + shitty = pretty shitty.
Runs Half Life 2 Episode 2 at 768x520 at about 38-45 fps (72 inside Vents with the flashlight).My Rig said:
Works for me.
I probably would not upgrade it until the whole thing broke or God commanded me to do so.
The worst offender I have ever found for a console game was ODIN SPHERE for the PS2! That game became unplayable at some parts due to the framerate slowing to a crawl. I can understand it happening with a PC game (especially with my POC PC) and not having the right specs but it is inexcusable for it to happen with a console game IMO. What good are great graphics if the framerate chugs? It looks like crap!
