@Filth, I concede, you are correct on all accounts related to me. He did say the cap and target was 60 FPS, etc. Good call and I stand corrected. You're also right on the basis of 1.0's PS3 release and what the original engine was built and tuned for. What I am happy to see is the agreement that there's a comparison of data that's several months apart. I rarely see us disagree on anything, and I'm glad to see that trend continue.

...the BG translator probably messed up about the 30 FPS lock.
Again, you're saying that there was a translation error when back when that interview was done, the most up to date information could very well have been with a 30fps lock. This isn't December anymore. Time has passed and the software is more fully developed. You can't bring up a couple month old interview and call it gospel -- Your argument doesn't track at all in that regard.
That'd be like saying back in 1941 they said the nation would never hit $17 trillion in debt, so therefore what's going on now cannot possibly be true and is just a ruse by the government. Times have changed. We're $17 trillion in debt.
I myself am a PS3 player. I haven't run into content yet that crashes or crawls. At the absolute worst prior to 2.1 I had issues where a mass of onscreen characters wouldn't render right away, and that lasted for a few seconds at most. Now they're prioritized the render pipeline and that's a non issue. I run endgame content all night long on a PS3 when I'm lazy and want to play on the couch instead of on my PC. I experience none of the symptoms you describe.
The 1 week updates you describe in other MMOs are out there, yes -- And they're the sort of small missions that are contextually equivalent to larger dailies that we're running now. New dungeons don't get added every single week in any of the MMOs that I've played, even the SLEW of cracker jack short lifespan games such as
Florensia, or any period of time in
RF Online. World of Warcraft doesn't release content every single week, or even every two weeks.
EVE Online is even slower on the ball than Square has been, and they've improved SUBSTANTIALLY in the last three years.
Pantheon is an upcoming MMO, and I doubt they'll release content as quickly as you're stating... In fact, I doubt you yourself can identify an MMO that pulls out new content
in the scope of new zones, dungeons, and quest lines in tandem as quickly as you're claiming, with all your vast knowledge of the MMO landscape. In what amounts to essentially a 6 month timespan we're getting two major content patches. I'm curious to see what they'll do with the first expansion. Sadly it seems you're just here to sow dissidence where you've no basis to do so, other than your own amusement, and are confused why it isn't taking.
