XBox frames per second

**dude** · 04-02-2002

When I first saw game reviews for the Xbox i was attracted by the high detail AND high frames per second. However, now having played Amped Freestyle snowboarding and getting some crappy 20fps, I have lost enthusiasm. do most xbox games have this crappy fps. Is Halo any better?

i have seen one game (, dead or alive?) with a good detail/fps combo. Can anyone restore my enthusiasm?? which xbox games have good fps?

Mmm Rallisport is a great example of excellent graphics. No scratch that it has absolutely amazing graphics, and high fps, the sense of speed it conveys is right on. I've not noticed any slowdown in it. If it doesn't restore your faith in the Xbox's graphical abilites, then you've just got problems. Jet Set Radio Future has a nice high framerate, there's occasional slowdown sometimes, but their is alot of crud on screen which it handles just fine like 95% of the time. PGR looks great and has a consistently high framerate. Halo runs at 30fps pretty much the whole game, it only drops in certain spots where you'd have a lot of things on screen, but my goodness the detail is amazing. The graphics in WWF Raw are amazing as well. The intros for the wrestlers are very realistic. You better get to renting pal. Maybe a purchase or two.

I, myself dont think that Amped has as much quality as any other game. That is like one of the few Xbox games that is hard to control. But Dead or Alive 3 and Halo are much better then Amped. If you dont trust me then maybeyou should go and rent a game. But the better game from the 2 is Halo. Dead or Alive gets boring fast but its a good Multiplayer game. And Halo, 30 ++++ Hours of great gameplay.

I don't know about you dude but I have not noticed the framerate problem. Like GokuX said it is time to get renting! I don't think any of the games comming out in the future will have this problem, since developers now know the specs of the xbox!

Amped at 20 fps? I don't think so.

Most Xbox games are locked in at 30 fps while some are said to be up at 60 fps. I'm not sure on which actually do 60 though.

**LynxFX** · 04-02-2002

Project Gotham Racing is one game that runs at 60fps.

**JJaX** · 04-02-2002

THPS3 looks like 60 FPS too.

**LynxFX** · 04-02-2002

Airforce Delta Storm - 60 fps
Jet Set Radio Future - 60 fps
Gun Valkyrie - 60 fps
Abe's Oddysee - 30 fps
Mad Dash - 30 fps
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X - 30 fps
NFL Fever - 60 fps
Project Gotham 60 fps
Azurik - 60 fps
Amped - 60 fps
Halo - 30 fps
New Legends - 30 fps
F1 (Racing) - 30 fps
Nascar Heat - 60 fps
DOA3 -60 fps
Bloodwake -60 fps
SSX Tricky -60fps

A few I found.

Edit, Screwed up the numbers. Get this Amped is actually 60pfs. LOL. 20 my ass. I play this game in all of its widescreen glory. It is beautiful and never a hickup. The menus look like crap though.

As good as RSC is, I was still a little disappointed by the graphics. I don't think the screenshots are truly representative of the game. You don't even goot smooth lines in replay mode.

Wow, I'm really surprised with some of the posts on this thread. I have both Amped and Rallisport and both look jaw dropping on my Widescreen Toshiba HDTV running on Component Video cables. Graphically, both games are hard to compete with...they both have jaw dropping detail and don't even give me the slightest hicup in frame rate.

oh sorry...i was just cleaning off my face........................................................since max decided to rub it the fact that he has a widscreen hdtv running on component video cables!!!!

damn max..i'm eXtrodinarily jealous now....what size is your widescreen?...how much did it set u back?

i have an old skool big ash back projection tv....the outside screen is kinda dirty (and can't be cleaned) ....i've noticed much crisper the graphics are when i played my xbox on a smaller tube t.v. alone.....i couldn't imagine how sweet it looks on a t.v. of the caliber you own max.

Dude...lol...sorry man! I didn't mean to rub it in, chief! I just find it humorous when some people mock graphics, however, at the same time they are playing on a 13" black and white TV!! Okay, I am exaggerating, but, I think you get the picture!

My Toshiba Widescreen HDTV is 43". Perfect size for the room that I have it in. I could have gone up to the 50", however, it would have been a little too big and would have swallowed the room up. I wanted it to be a perfect size. And, man! Playing on this thing is jaw dropping! It's really strange to play on a tube after playing on this... I don't mean to sound like a jerk or anything, though!!! I just remember going from my 36" Toshiba S-Video TV and got kicked out of my living room to go and play on my 27" Sharpe that only has composite video...and that was a huge blow to my gaming pleasure! But, with this relatively new purchase of my new 43" Widescreen HDTV by Toshiba, it more than made up for everything! I'm in gaming euphoria with this thing! I hope to share some pics after I get my custom entertainment stand so I can show you dudes!

P.s. Maximus.... I want your TV!!!The motto of the stry kids is #only in america#

**dude** · 04-03-2002

i have seen amped run > 30fps (on an mpeg i downloaded from some american site www.gamespot.com).

But i have also seen amped run < 30 fps.
(at the shop and at my mates place)

does component video effect the fps? why the difference in performance ?? i live in australia,, maybe you americans have given us aussies crap xboxes?? lol

**Rancey** · 04-03-2002

Having component hook up won't affect your frames, other than exagerating I wouldn't know how you'd get 20 fps. I live in Australia and have Amped, I would agree it runs at 60 fps.
