Re: Rumor: Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark Coming to XBLA
That's assuming the game was designed (code design) in a way where the framerate can be adjusted easily. People have this magical idea that framerates can be improved simply by sticking it on better hardware. Yes, and no. It depends on the code.
PC games, since their designed for changing hardware, go through additional steps to ensure the game plays the same at faster framerates. That's why you can usually display it and you somehow think your gaming experience is improved by hitting triple digits. As long as you and NVIDIA's CEO are happy, it will continue.
Consoles are a different story, and finding someone familiar with GoldenEye's code is nearly impossible. You'll be paying a team to figure out the code, fix the problems, and release it. Even if it goes up to 60fps, the characters will still move at the same slow-ass speed, then will just be drawn twice as many times.
