Earlier this month, we reported that Activision had updated Call of Duty: Warzone to run at 120 FPS on the Xbox Series X but not PlayStation 5.

Looks like Microsoft is playing Chess and Sony is playing Checkers.

I asked the question. Why do you think 24 fps is enough for movies, but now all of a sudden 60 fps is not enough for console games, when it used to be 30 for the longest time.

It's more like a misleading title, they talk about backwards compatible games and the work involved to get them to run that fast, not new games designed for the PS5

It kind of is in the age of digital film. The higher the FPS, the better, regardless of it being a game or movie. I was able to see Gemini Man in its full 120 FPS presentation and I think every movie should be made that way.

I'm not saying it's not enough. It's better.

Yeah, but 24 or 30 or whatever FPS is good, but 120 FPS is better. That's all.

With a movie, you're not controlling anything just watching.
