YouTube introduces 60fps video with Battlefield Hardline trailer

4.5

Google has renovated its YouTube service by allowing the video player to display 60fps footage for the first time.

The move means that users can soon upload videos of games that render in 60fps and watch a 'true' representation on YouTube. Previously, the Google-owned web video service could only render in 30fps.

Marking the occasion was a new trailer for Hardline Battlefield, in development at EA's Visceral Games, displayed in its native frame rate:

The option to upload in 60fps is unavailable for now, though Google said the service would arrive shortly.

"Your video game footage with crazy high frame rates will soon look as awesome on YouTube as it does when you're playing, when we launch support for 48 and even 60 frames per second in the coming months," the corporation said. More info on additional improvements, such as new crowdfunding tools, was published on the YouTube blog.

YouTube has become a significant outlet for video game trailers, news, opinion and entertainment.

It's good news but so late, I currently have a 144hz monitor, obviously you will be able to tell the difference between the new 30>60 step up on YouTube but they should really have 120hz videos out by now.

DeluxeHazard Compared to 30fps, the graphics looked phenomenal.

FPS doesn't change the graphics... just the frame rate.

If the frames are too low it can change the graphics, since it can jitter, screen tear etc, although when playing on 60 compared to 30 its a lot smoother.

Looks pretty good but Im still not sure I would like the cop and robbers type theme that the game is based on.

Smurfs I didn't know that Youtube was adding this, but it's cool that they did. Also, the Battlefield Hardline multiplayer trailer looks great, can't wait to play the beta for it and then probably get the game.

I didn't know this either. And I am also looking forward to Battlefield Hardline!
