30fps sucks! I want 60fps! ...another reason GC launch sucks

Definition: fps = frames per second

I was just looking around on IGNcube and I happened across that some GC launch games like Luigi and Wave Race are 30fps. Maybe it's just that I'm a framerate whore, but that kinda sucks, kinda VERY sucks. Even if it's a 'stable' 30fps, 60fps makes games look SOOOO much better. My gripe with so many DC games is the crappy framerate (coughshenmuecough). I don't care how good Luigi looks, if it runs at 30fps the animation just doesn't look as 'real' (sure it may be 'lifelike', but 60fps looks real, like it's actually happening in front on you and not on a TV screen). It says at least Rougue Leader and Monkey Ball are 60fps, yet just another reason to get SMB (besides my other reason, there isn't anything else to get at launch besides it and Rogue Leader for my INDIGO GC:). I hope this isn't a trend and we can expect a lot of 60fps games on GC... well Melee is 60fps too at least...


Sidenote: Why the fuckin hell does an ad for Xbox pop up when I go to IGNcube? :)

yep tis a shame about them frames. Well its not much of a deal to me but 60 fps is always a plus. I dont know how EGM could give the graphics in rogue leader a 9 if its supposedly close to a 2nd gen title (in theory if you know about the development cycle) and its the best looking game coming out this year...

As for that xbox ad..im sure all those pop up ads are at random for all of the ign sites but youd think they could take a little extra time to make them section specific.
