Hey there what would you think of a list of 30fps caped games for GOG kind of like the frame-rate police for Steam? I was thinking of making a wish for one.

why?! :S

Is there any specific reason why you want this? Is it about your computer? Do you want an option for the frame-rate to be capped or are you thinking of a permanent cap?

If people here are sufficiently used to actual older games, framerates won't matter. While higher framerates are better, I don't see Baulders Gate or other classics being under the list of 'this game bad, only 30FPS!' list :P

Videogames with advanced "photorealistic" graphics typically need high FPS to look good. 30 is too low.

Here's why.
Short version: real life movement generates motion blur in the eye; cameras, being artificial eyes, capture that motion blur (it's light reflected by an object, all perfectly natural and analog; in a "digital" camera, the blurry image gets smeared all over many photoelectric cells) and reproduce it onscreen. Computer-generated images at 30 FPS don't naturally do it; either the FPS rate needs to be increased or blur effects have to be manually added (or both).

I agree. However, there are game settings and/or driver settings that allow frame-rates to be capped so that they could run on computers with older hardware. I see no harm in a game having some sort of option/setting to be built in that has a frame-rate cap(sometimes capping in through the driver results in less than ideal game quality), assuming the game developers think it's a feasible option and see no significant obstacles in the presentation of the overall quality of the game.

Nothing is wrong with an option, it's the hard caps that are a problem.

You mean like when they ported Saints Row 2 and the GOG .exe file is capped at 30-40 FPS and the Steam version is free from such a cap? Then I totally agree and tell me about it, it's a slight bummer.

We don't need the Steam witch hunts over here as well, thank you very much.

darthspudius: why?! :S
So that people can be warned that "this game is capped at 30 fps and will make your eyes bleed".

so, how many games does that even affect here on GOG ?

and why wish for a "frame rate police"? just collect the affected games and stick them in a thread somewhere.

Is Champions of Krynn frame capped?
