Framerates of old (N64) games

Because back then it was the norm.

Thats like saying why didnt people realize pong sucked, opposed to a marvel of technology.

Well I got on to Perfect Dark a little late (back when Gamecube first came out and I was bored) and I hated the frame rate. Seriously, it was just an elaborate Goldeneye engine, and Goldeneye ran fine! On top of that, it was using the expansion pack. It had no reason to be slow, yet it was.

But I can and do go back to Goldeneye a lot and the framerate is never an issue. It seems to be a solid 30 fps. Sure, it slows down when you explode 10 remote mines, but that makes sense.

I always thought PD's Framerate could've been better off but Counter-Op playing was just completely horrid in the framerate department for no reason.

I hope Nintendo can put it on Rev and at the very least make it an always smooth 30fps or more

I like the 4 fps you get on old NES games with busy screens.

That's not the point. I'm asking why we get sick of them. As in dizzy, ill...
The first times I played Turok, there was no problem. When I played it years later, it was terrible and I got a headache.

Probably because we are so used to 30-60fps now, when we go back to 10fps, the change is very noticable to our eyes.
