Boom, perfectly paced 30 fps in any game I want. On PC, do you know how to get a perfectly frame paced 30 fps? I can go into the Nvidia Control Panel (or AMD equivalent), click the drop down menu for any game on my system, and click the option to force half-rate V-Sync. And Spyro has this issue on all 3 consoles.Īnd I really don't get why this is an issue. This still manages to average out to 30 fps, but it feels janky and not smooth like 30 fps should. Maybe some frames will display for 33.33ms, but then others will display for 16.67, and others still for 50ms instead. But sometimes a game's frame rate may appear fine, like at 30 fps, but the frame times are not. For 60 fps, that drops to 16.67 milliseconds, and so on. For a proper 30 fps lock, each frame needs to display for 33.33 milliseconds. And I'm just going to take a little side rant here and complain about improper frame pacing, because I have no idea why it is still an issue in 20.įor those who don't know, there are 2 aspects to how a game displays on a TV or other display: frame rate and frame times. Now, the console versions of Spyro were already iffy, as both PS4 and Xbox One (and their pro counterparts) feature a 30 fps cap with improper frame pacing.

Visually, it's great, it scales really well to the Switch's hardware, I have no real visual complaints, they made IMO the right cuts to get it running well on the hardware. It's an amazing set of remakes that makes just the right tweaks for a great modern experience, and I recommend it to literally anybody to buy.īut maybe not the Switch version. I love it, I 100%'d it on Xbox One and I'm in the process of doing the same on PC. If you want to know the quality of the game itself, it's simply brilliant. So this is just a review of my experience with the Switch port.
