I was going by what I've seen, along with what experts have said on the matter.
There is very little reason in my eyes why you'd need to go beyond 60fps, but I know I'd be in the minority.
Pachter -PS4 will feature "hyperrealistic games" and "render games at 240fps"

- Start date

Do you have links to these expert quotes? I've never seen any mention 60fps.
Anyhow, from a different thread...

Why do people care what this man says again?
Ok now he use us to fuel his massive ego.
The least interesting GAF user is interviewed for a documentary....yeah.
And for all his talk about intelligence he didn't show much here.

More like we're just enthusiastic about it more than others are.
Haha, Doug is actually who I'm referring to. He mentions it in the Great Framerate Debate lecture.
When I was referring to the eye not seeing any changes I was talking about anything significant, I just worded the post badly. Of course you can see beyond, but I think you gain very little.

I think if you sit still in an FPS and just spin 360 degrees constantly more than 60 FPS would be beneficial. but that's an extreme worst case scenario.
Am I the only one who loves this man?

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I'll tell you why I do not like him (not personally, I don't know him or care to, but why I don't like the attention he gets on gaf or from the industry) and it's because he is often very wrong, and this narrative he is trying to spin is the antithesis of my hopes for the industry. It fucking bothers me that the guy has such a sought-after opinion with games press, because I think he actually does have some influence, and it's skewing the dialog in an undesirable direction. The guy is not a gamer, he does not have gamers' best interests in mind, and he is so often demonstrably full of shit. Yet he has this outlet to peddle it. It bothers me.
Although, I guess sometimes he's alright. Even right, sometimes.
But too often wrong to have the attention he gets. Maybe he is really fantastic at his job and worth every penny of his time for everything else he does... but when he starts going on gaming shows and interviewing about the day to day in the industry, prognosticating, he's out of his element. And has demonstrated this repeatedly.

Pachter is making a fool out of you guys and you don't even realize it. Please tell me that somebody in this thread has already explained what hyperrealism is.

PS3 games still look incredible, even compared to PC games. I think most people are expecting "next gen" to mean some graphical leap - but I'm worried it's going to become all about gimmicky peripherals.
I pretty much expect PS4 to be a high end gaming PC, so we won't see anything drastically more impressive than say crysis 3 for a while. I'm sure there are many like myself who bought a gaming PC recently - and justifying another big $500-600 purchase that will give you a similar experience will be hard.
UNLESS
1) there are some killer ps4 exclusives that will release day 1 with the console
or
2) backwards compatability. though this is a long shot, it would be huge. There are still many games being made for ps3 and many ps3 users have older, non-slim models which are about to take a s**t (mine included). If there was ps3 backwards compatability in ps4, it would be a no-brainer day 1 purchase for me (and if they added some upscaling, that would make the deal even sweeter).
Interestingly, what would this look like for unreal engine 4?
