Haven't played Motorstorm but NFS is garbage. PGR is awesome though, forgot that they went with 30fps in that game.
Evo should have followed that rule.They were the ones who publicly said they were targeting 60 at least at some point in development. Maybe (probably) not anymore.
If the game looks like this and manages to hit 60? Holy crap, I might barf from the excitement.
haha yeah they've kinda opened the flood gates themselves! I'm sure they'll deliver but I don't envy those guys, under a lotta pressure from Sony and GAF!

Impressive DoF... but please be 60fps
Would look stunning in motion

Not all NFS games are garbage, but that's relative, I suppose. And they aren't garbage because of the frame rate. Motorstorm is amazing and PGR fans are exactly the type of audience driveclub is after. So I think there is enjoyment to be had, regardless of what the final frame rate ends up being.
Yeah, not doubting it at all. Game looks great. It'll sell me a PS4 once I can demo it to be sure.
LOL didn't see that. The Sony mind shows its true colours! Psychopaths!

Well, to be honest Shahid was probably thinking of indie games when he tweeted that.
Wrong game to use that analogy with. The only exclusive racing game so far this gen with anything baked is FM5.
Wouldn't Forza be put under the same category as a Arcade Racer as well?
What? Why?

Noticed that too.
Whoa didn't notice the '4' while watching the vid, pretty cool.

Im playing NFS rivals right now..And this game makes it look like a joke. Cant wait for this game, so glad this and infamous got delayed a bit, they are really making a hell of a lot of progress.
Just always thought that it was, that's all.
I don't understand why you thought Forza was an arcade racer.
I was curious, because some folks on some other messageboard said that Forza was more of an Arcade racer than a simulator, that's why.
Dynamic res? GTFO with that.

Please STOP posting this ! He is talking just for him, it's his opinion, he is not talking for Sony right here...
You'd notice the framerate dropping to 25fps more than you'd notice a drop from 1080p to 720p imo, especially while actually driving.
Get used to saying that. Over, and over, and over again. For the entire generation. Shahid is gonna get quoted without context for a long long time.
Driveclub will be 30fps-ish and we'll like it. Well, most of us.

Looks amazing but what is up with the floating rock in the air.
I'll wait to play them to decide, but Mario Kart still looks like the racer to get to me. If this game gets a bump to 60 fps, I might have a change of heart. It certainly looks nice now, but a racer at 30 FPS isn't a must-own to me.
Why? He's right. Especially for driving games.
From the looks of it, it seems to be more simcade, than pure arcade. IMO anything that requires opposite lock and has wheel support is simcade. NFS, Burnout, etc are all purely arcade. Drive Club and Forza Horizon are not simulators but they take into account some things simulation games do (tire grip, slip angle, etc).

Not me. I would instantly notice 1080p going to 720p when playing on my 1080p tv.
It makes the shape of a 4 like PS4. (right at the end of the gif)
Still on Earth
Oh, that is pretty neat. I didn't even notice it because I was too busy wondering why the rock was floating. heh.

He was. Certain sectors of GAF like to regularly post that image without context though, so you're better off ignoring it.
Are you concerned about display notifications popping up? TBH it's been a while since I played on my TV so size may be a factor - my eyesight got worse too.
But when you're driving in intense situations that could cause the framerate to usually dip, your brain isn't taking in the sights, it's focussing on the driving path and the other cars among other things. Slight loss of sharpness isn't going to be as big of a factor as having your brain lock up for a few seconds. It's just a temporary drop.

Naw, I shouldn't get popups because the PS4 will output 1080p regardless.
I think I would notice the jaggies appear on the back of the car in the normal places. It might not be a huge deal if it happened very rarely but if the game was constantly going from 60/30 to sub 60/30 and resolutions were changing all of the time, I can see it being a problem.
It would suck for sure and ideally it wouldn't be dropping down much or for long at all but it would be better than constant drops in fps surely. If it was dropping from 60 to 55 then no but constant 30 to 25 is a killer for racing. I'm sure it will be better than that but I just don't want any fps drops at all and would prefer flashes of 720 if that's possible without having the jaggies suddenly stick out each time so much. Might be a problem for huge screens maybe...

My only fear for this game is they cave into the 60fps talk and unlock the framerate just to say its 60fps but in reality that's closer to 40fps most of the time like Killzone and Knack and in that case I would rather the lock it and have a rock solid 30.
Really? Which sectors would that be?
I agree, but I do think he tweets in a controversial way that is kind of annoying. He could have EASILY said "Give me 60fps on indies or give me death".
some people consider forza and gt simcades
Yeah and some people think difficulty=realism...
Must resist urge to go there...

those people should not be taken seriously.
i agree thats taking it too far, but calling those games hardcore sims is silly, and ive seen it happen quite a few times on gaf
