| NFS Hot Pursuit the most responsive game |
Saturday, 20.11.2010 |
 If you're interested in the technical details of the game, DigitalFoundry looks behind the scenes of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit.
After the interview with Technical Director Richard Parr and Senior Engineer Alex Fry ( Part 1, Part 2) and the Tech Interview, where they talk about the underlying Chameleon engine and controller response times, now DigitalFoundry tested the final version of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and compares in its Face-Off Artikel the different platforms (X360, PS3, PC) and what effect the decreasing of the framerate to 30fps had.
Excerpt:
In our previous tests, we have never seen controller latency on a 30FPS game improve over a baseline 100ms. However, multiple measurements with Xbox 360 Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit confirm a five frame delay - so 83ms in total. This makes the game the most responsive 30Hz title we've ever tested and means that despite halving the frame-rate, controller response in Hot Pursuit is just one frame slower than the 60FPS Burnout Paradise.
The PC test, where the game is running at the full frame-rate (as evidenced by the FRAPS counter in the top-left), has a confirmed 50ms input lag, making it the most responsive 60Hz game we've ever tested. Over and above the additional controller response, the PC version gives players the chance to power past the limitations of console technology and enjoy the full-fat 60Hz experience. The good news is that the required hardware to do so is relatively light - a fast dual-core CPU in combination with something along the lines of an NVIDIA 8800GT should provide the requisite horsepower not only to run the game at 60FPS but also to achieve full 1080p, or 1920x1200 resolution to boot.
