Who actually picked No to choose a lower FPS?
I'm completely clueless
>>
Fuck NTSC
Fuck Japan
And more importantly:
FUCK VIDEO GAMES
>>
I'd assume its because some displays could straight up not handle it? That's my best guess
>>
Everyone these days. I'm the only person I know that realizes lower res is always better. Next gen will probably be 8k and idiots will be gratefull. Hundreds of times worse graphics and bad controls/framerate. All the masses or worthless shit care about is more pixels.

The PAL version of Halo CE only ran at 50Hz but if you left the 60Hz option enabled in the Xbox dashboard you'd get weird frame pacing issues.
>>
It really is sad that so many PAL versions got the "fuck it, just slow the game down to 50fps and not bother to check if it's fun or sounds good!" but PAL's 50hz bullshit itself is fucking dumb

This is supposed to be the digital native generation? How fucking retarded are you?
>>
>>12682674
Some TVs didn't support PAL60. My piece of shit small Grundig my momma bought me for my room to shut me up supported PAL60 but weirdly enough the big ass Nokia TV she used for the main room did not, both of them bought around the same time.

>>12682738
it obviously denotes FPS holistically

>>12682674
>I'm completely clueless
yep, you are.
>>
>>12682674
infuriating question with zero clues what's going to happen on "no".
should have been:
what display mode would you like?
60 hz
50 hz or whatever the no result was

Herz aren't equal to frames retard, just grab an ntsc game and play it on pal console it run slow as ass but is normal ntsc games are 24 frames and pal games are 29.9 frames per second (it isn't arguable).
That option was simply a way to get better quality image only and unrelated to frames.
>pick 50 herz normal play.
>pick 60 herz same playability with better quality.
But i bet you are those kind of retards that go "muhh high herz means more frames" even when the human eye can't see beyond 29 frames per second hence only a few have made 60 fps games and are counted like dead or alive games and that would be it.
>gta IV / 5 : run at 40 fps top
>gta sa : ran at 14 fps
>need for speed games : ran at 12 fps but at 24 fps when you use nitro (reason the CPU keeps up with you because the game runs as normal but the added effects give the illusion of speed).
>call of duty : ran at 16 fpseven more modern titles.
>max payne : ran at 20 fps and slowed to 5 fps during bullet time.

Shenmue would lock your save file to 50Hz or 60Hz. Start a save on 50Hz and then want to change to 60Hz then you're shit out of luck.
>>
>>12682851
holy shit, locking system options is something else.
>>
>>12682851
didn't it do this with VGA as well? very odd
i wonder if anyone's figured out what kind of math it was doing and made a save converter.
>>
>>12682772
60Hz wouldn't work on old TVs you stupid nigger.
>>
TVs that run on 50Hz can't always run games at 60Hz.
TVs that run on 60Hz can run at either frequency.
The option is there for people who have the former.

Yes VGA also locks the save file to 60Hz.
>>
>>12682851
weird, didn't know that
>>
>>12682674
I did, on the PS2. I distinctly remember selecting 60Hz, promptly vomiting because of how shitty NTSC looks and setting it back to 50Hz. PAL60 is good though, I would play 60hz on dreamcast.
>>
>>12682678
How about, FUCK THE UK? mate?
>>
>>12683559
The PS2 only supported NTSC and not PAL60 so yeah it'd look worse unless you were using RGB.
>>
>>12682881
I assume this is some euro PAL thing because every TV I have ever owned including an ancient color set from the 70's ran at 60hz
>>
>>12683652
Yup.
Worse frame rate in exchange for more colours iirc
>>
>>12683657
Lower refresh rate but higher resolution and better colour accuracy
