Framerate upscaler!!

TL:DR version.

Basically LucasArts have found a way to make a mainly v-locked 30 FPS game to give the same responsiveness and feel of a 60 FPS game, basically saving a whole lot of processing power than it would have taken to make it actually 60 FPS.

The potential here is termendous! Game developers could make a 15 FPS to give the same impression as a 30 FPS game and double the visual fidelity by using this tech!! This could expand the life and quality of this generations software. Progression of hardware through software engines. Brillant.

Interesting. And judging by the was Star Wars Force Unleashed 2 is looking in those screens it could be a big breakthrough. The game looks gorgeous.

All new games start at 55$?
Hopefully.

wow I never thought Force Unleashed 2 was that technically powerful.

So that means a game running at 60 FPS . . . holy crap.

No like Allan said, if developers can make it look like it is running at twice the frame rate it really is, console games can look a lot better because they can allocate more resources without having to worry about frame rate drops.

Right. I'm saying imagine if this technology was applied to a game running at 60 FPS. It'd be even more smooth and beautiful.

oh sorry i misunderstood your post.
However I think there is a limit on the frame rate your eyes can see. Can't remember exactly what the number is off the top of my head.

I doubt it's 120 because I think certain PC games can run at 120.

I think its around the 40 mark.
