Unlocked framerate?

[Hanzema]

Has Konami somewhere mentioned if the framerate can go above 60fps and unlocked?

[Afevis Solmunko]

They have not elaborated on that yet.

Hmm. That's a important question for me

It's extremely unlikely that the game will support frame rates higher than 60. The game's speed is dependent on its frame rate, and MGS2 runs at 60 FPS.

This isn't a game where you need more than 60fps.

guys, no worries. i will personally mod this in. There is basically non decryption on the files, so easy to mod.

1) the files aren't even available yet so there's no way of knowing if the files are encrypted or not
2) "there is basically non decryption on the files" - this is literally technobabble and I highly doubt you'll even look at the main executable with a hex editor because of it. :P

Above 60fps? Tf????

Running the games at higher framerates breaks them.

MGS1 on PS1 is tied to the framerate and breaks at higher resolutions:

MGS3 is also tied to the framerate which is the reason there are issues at 60fps like:

- The Fury does things like attacking the wrong way and uses his abilities during hitstun. Also at higher framerates a much larger amount of fire can persist on the ground which could especially be seen xbox series x/s throug backwards compability (HD Collection) since the game runs at stable 60fps and didn`t have framedrops like on X360 and especially PS3.
- The Pain's bullet bee will not hit Snake in first person view, because of the game running at 60fps

These issues for example won`t be present in the Nintendo Switch version of MGS3, because the games runs at 30fps there.

Increasing the framerate will just increase the speed of the game - it wont make the game smoother. If you have a high refresh monitor with v-sync turned off and no cap then assuming it can be modded, the game will just be in constant turbo mode and likely have visual discrepancies. It can also cause audio issues where a sound is then stretched for x/times the ratio increase so it will appear warped.

No it doesn't.
