    I’m no computer scientist, but I’d say if we add more motion blur it’s probably going to increase the framerate. In fact, we should all just crank up the motion blur on all the games we play. Everyone just loves that motion blur.

    Game devs, I hope you’re listening. I know you already do this, though. So THANK YOU so much. Go ahead and leave that setting enabled by default. Everyone LOVES it.

      I know you’re just being sarcastic, but motion blur is a relatively heavy effect (particularly depending on how it’s implemented), that’s going to lower the framerate. That said, while motion blur lowers FPS it can make things seem more fluid and can convey motion information better. I’m not a huge fan of motion blur either, though. I think it can look cool, but usually it doesn’t feel great to me.
