Is that close enough to 3000 for me to say I was basically right? Not that it really matters, but...

We'll find out in six days, of course. Hopefully they didn't wreck the audio on this and then never fully fix it like they did for the Toaplan games.

What do you want +60 FPS for? Do you want to run the game at 150% speed?

Lower input lag and better compatibility with monitors that have refresh rates that are not even multiples of 60. The Bitwave Toaplan games don't run faster at 90FPS than they do at 60.

They can do input handling at 500hz if they want to and have the CPU power to do so. It doesn't need to follow the actual display frame rate, so it has nothing to do with input lag.
