id Says 60fps Is Enough For Doom III

Posted by simoniker on Thursday October 23, 2003 @03:40AM from the but-i-wanted-6000 dept.

Dot.Com.CEO writes "IGN PC reports that the final version of Doom III will be capped at 60fps, quoting John Carmack as saying 'A fixed tic rate removes issues like Quake 3 had, where some jumps could only be made at certain framerates'. Will this put a stop to fans arguing whether there is a tangible benefit for frame rates over 60fps? What do Slashdot Games readers think about id's decision?" Elsewhere, there's a new preview of Doom III at C+VG, including a mini-interview with Carmack in which he comments: "Now's where it goes from being an interesting demonstration of all the technologies to being a fabulous game, and that really does all happen at the end."

You're right! Yay for you! Good job buddy! We're all so proud of you back home - we were a bit concerned when you moved out of the garage after your 34th birthday. But I see now that you're doing well for yourself with that apartment and the ability to post witty things on Slashdot from the public library in between shifts at the DQ! You have arrived!
Your father always said you'd amount to nothing - you have certainly shown him!
