When game doesn’t need 60 FPS

Everyone wants the same thing from a game port: 60 frames per second. But getting an old game to run at 60 can break things you never knew were tied to the frame rate. This video looks at why that happens, from the 1990s PC games that literally ran too fast on newer processors to modern engines where physics, animations, durability, cooldowns and even enemy behavior can depend on how fast the game renders. Lets look at real examples, including Dark Souls 2’s weapon durability bug at 60 FPS, Skyrim’s physics going wild above 60 Hz, Kingdom Hearts bosses behaving differently after the jump to 60 FPS, Dishonored speedrunning glitches, and the years of modding work behind Bloodborne at higher frame rates.
