When we complain about ‘lag’, particularly in Australia, we tend to complain about the issues we have playing online — but what about input lag?
Depending on where you sit, input lag is either a genuine issue or something anal wannabe pros worry about. But as someone who used to play a lot of Rock Band on a Plasma TV — input lag is real.
This video focuses on recent issues with Street Fighter V on console vs PC and the infamous ‘8 frames of input lag’ issue raised by a pro player. It’s incredibly definitive and looks at a number of different areas of lag and how it fits into the grander issues of lag we see from multiple devices including the monitors we use, our controllers and our reaction times.
Really fascinating stuff. Next time someone complains about lag don’t be so quick to dismiss them!
