Never had any issues with it myself, many camcorders create that smooth 60fps feel, TVs with fake 120Hz active vision create a similar effect, never felt anything bad from it, I don't like watching films with those sorta frames as it makes them look cheap, but never felt ill from them I have however felt extremely sick very quickly, which lasted for hours after playing Dreadhalls on the Rift DK2 - I immediately felt like I was sweating and boiling hot and almost physically sick Had to time out for a couple hours to recuperate, something to do with using both analogue sticks to move and strafe, and also having head movement along with positional tracking, all those combined really messed me up in just a couple of minutes

A video camera at 60FPS won't make you sick because the animation is very natural. But, if you don't get sick from video games then a camera obviously would have no effect on you either. Video games and other artificial animations have to simulate the natural movement of things. It seems to me most people aren't affected by this. But yeah, your experience with the Rift is a solid example of your brain thinking you're poisoned. The Rift might have an effect on you because it is FAR more immerse; it's hard to subconsciously prepare yourself that what you're looking at isn't reality.

Firefox needs MSE to be implemented. It looks like the nightly has it. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.platform/C1j6dYSgk0s

How come? you play games @ 60fps 🙂

Was watching a guy driving with a gopro mounted...bleh. I hope this is only a placebo effect, I would like to enjoy the new tech. 😀

All my vids were 10.000 to 25000 kbit/sec on youtube, most of them 60 fps just in case youtube would ever support it. The extra youtube compression on top ruins it for me tbh :s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQC0bYZyUAM#t=1m53s The uploaded vid is nowhere near that blurry on my PC in VLC/MPC-HC.

The best possible quality you can get on YouTube is an UNCOMPRESSED FILE - let youtube do their cakky compression for you.

Yeah they went too far this year when they reduced the standard 1080/30fps to 6mbps down from 8.

yeah if you dont mind uploading for a week lol 😀

lol, true that, try uploading even 10k bitrate on 1mbit adsl upload :bang:

I have Google Chrome 32.0.1671.4 as a secondary browser.. and 60FPS looks fantastic. Now all we need is for Youtube to give the real browsers support for this new feature.

Ubisoft is full of crap saying 30fps is better than 60fps because IT ISN'T 60 is better than 30. As I stated before if upscale something from 30fps to 60fps then you are getting a clearer picture. Look at movies at 48fps they look sharper and clearer than at what ever the native fps is for movies. Ubisoft has no idea what they are talking about.

Ubisofts approach is to just throw more and more staff at a project to get it done on time, no wonder they don't have time to optimize

UBISOFT are only saying 30fps is better because they don't have the talent to code games well enough so that they can run @ 60fps

To be fair, while it's true Ubisoft are doing some pretty crap work in their games lately.. it all comes down to the "next gen" consoles.. if you can call them next gen that is.. they aren't powerful enough to do what they are trying to do with them at the resolutions they are trying to do them at. Hence Ubisoft saying 30FPS is better because in reality they absolutely cannot go higher than that due to the consoles not being powerful enough.

Dang, just saw replays of some Street Fighter matches and 60fps is so much smoother.

But surely if they code for consoles, a PC will easily be able to run it twice as fast

You would think so... it doesn't help that these new consoles have a different memory setup in comparison to PC's, which leads me to believe this is the reason for the games not running as well as they should on PC. But still, you are correct that Ubisoft just aren't optimizing the games to run correctly on PC.
