They actually collaborated with ID Software to port Doom 2016's per object motion blur.

Reddit (and Lemmy) absolutely hate motion blur, but it's actually extremely important to create fluidity and it works super well.

The difference in that normally games just blur the entire frame, which can be distracting and look ugly. If you do it per object and actually handle the camera and parallax correctly, 30 FPS with motion blur can feel significantly smoother.

The game is also reasonably good at balancing CPU and GPU loads, so although you're running at low frame rates, you're probably getting a stabilized frame pacing.

It's called the Todd Howard Reality Distortion Field.

Frame pacing and motion blur is my guess.

The main thing is simply being steady. You can get used to, and ignore a lower frame rate as long as it's not jumping up and down.

On the Xbox, 30fps feel like 30fps to me, but after a while, my brain reverts back to 2005 and I kind of get used to it.

But it’s pretty jarring if I switch back from another game.

Most likely a combination of dynamic resolution and FSR technologies.

They set our expectations realistically.

It’s the fucking engine they won’t let go off

It's a brand new game that has pretty high end system requirements. It's pretty normal to have to mess with the graphics settings to get new games to run smoothly.
