You are thinking about “cinematic“. And i would argue that being forced for movies is not because it’s better, but because it’s extended use in films gives the low fps an expected quality for movie watchers. The hobbit suffered from success over this.

Back in the day the fps for games was tied to the, i think it’s hrtz off the power lines, it alternates in 60hz in America. Slightly less in the UK.

Most of the World runs 50Hz. North America and some island nations run 60Hz, some 3rd world countries and Japan use an abominable mix of both.

Yep. I would say that the old games were ahead of their time, but it’s more accurate to say that we have regressed since.

Wile preferences can be subjective… i am still going to demand that (stable)frame rate > graphical fidelity, and that 60 is only the bare minimum.
