Spoiler: it does - if you play ED in VR you cannot go back to a flat screen.I still havent tried VR, but its statements like this that make me want to soooo much, but if I do then have to go back to my XB & TV I think I may just start sobbing so I keep waiting. Its like I want to but I daren't in case it ruins the game I do have and love.
It's a common misconception, the 24fps for movies is just about "it's the bare minimum to create the illusion of movement". Your eyes and brains are a lot quicker, some say in the vicinity of 120fps if you want a kind of measurement, but also real objects through continuous movement will create a motion blur due to retina cells persistence.Why is this btw? I remember a few years ago every time I went to the cinema it ran an advert something like '23 Frames Per Second' and I know the human eye / brain only processes so many FPS under normal circumstances and I play on 30 FPS on my XB all the time so how does more FPS than the eye can process make it better?
For VR there's an additional constraint which is your inner ear. You brains will couple perceived movement from your vision to your inner ear to check that it matches the motion. If it doesnt - instant nausea/headaches. It does so pretty quickly and yeah 90fps is about the minimum there to fool the brain.
By the way, i usually play at 120+fps (got a 144Hz gsync monitor) and 60fps looks really choppy to me, especially when looking around (60fps locked games.. sigh). 30fps is in the "not acceptable" territory.
