Not sure if this has been answered, but are they capping it at 30fps, or is it only capable of that?

I'm going to assume it isn't capable of 60 with the current level of graphics so to answer your question...both

The game should still look pretty good, right? I mean, I never expected the console version to come close to the PC version, looks wise.

Meaning what 360 and PS3 are capable of??

Considering the scale of the game, I wonder if this is just a conscious decision to scale back to make sure the game doesn't have any hiccups, and it's mainly because of the limitations the consoles.

Yeah it will look good. Probably be one of the best looking multiplat games out there.

Most games are 30 FPS and 720p. So that shouldn't be something that scares anyone away.

I think with the fact that people are expecting BF3 to really challenge MW3 for FPS supremacy, any news like this is chum for the sharks. Especially COD fanbois (Anti).

Well all these factors are intertwined.

The bigger the scale or the higher the detail, the more processing power that will be required. Since BFS is bigger in scale and detail, there is less power that can be used to make it a 60 FPS 1080 game.

COD has less detail and scale so more power can be devoted to resolution and framerate.

But CoD is still a very pretty, polished product.

i'd have to agree. since it's gonna be 30 fps and 1080p, people won't like it cause it won't be as smooth. i'm predicting a medal of honor type of feel to it. and we all know how that game turned out. i don't know why i'm bitching though. cod is 720p on the ps3. but at least it's still 60fps.

They will be 2 totally different style games though.

Either way, using the resolution and frame rate to determine quality is just dumb.

COD is a smaller scale faster paced game that would probabaly be unplayable at 30 FPS....BF3 won't be.

Considering BLOPS was 1080p, I think it could have looked a lot better

Graphically yes. But remember they have been using the same exact engine for quite a while.

I'm with you. I think with the demo we saw on Fallon and everything else we've seen over the last couple of months, we will still get a legit game.

Again most games are 30 FPS. And MOH wasn't bad because of low frame-rate.

Resolution is even a bigger moot point IMO. There are plenty of games on 360 and PS3 that are 540p. 720 will be fine.
