Depends on the game.
Driveclub director - 1080p/30FPS is absolutely the best for our game

- Start date

As I said before once, the framerate in those videos is 30fps and it looks smooth as silk. If that is how it looks running at 30fps, how is that a problem?
But yeah, visual fidelity in a racer is far more important the the frames occuring each second while I push left and right on my analog stick.
I purposefully drop my PC racing games like Grid 2 down to 30fps and pump up the visual effects anytime I play them. Never had an issue vs. playing at 60fps.

It's always been this way. without sounding too trolly, If you want both you buy a decent PC because you can just throw hardware at the problem.
I'm not sure if you're joking, but 30fps+ extra image processing lag. Ouch. I'm sure there are a lot of people who game with that on, though.

I'm tired of Polyphony mismanagement, so I really looking forward to this game.

The vista views looked great but I wasn't really blown away by the actual racing footage. Looked close to Forza on XBO.
I'll need to see it in person.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Are you confused with people being disappointed with 30fps? my reaction is totally opposite, because I see lot of people being okay with the 30fps for the racing game, that's coming out one year late on the best console.

What with the cardboard crowds, limited tracks, and severly downgraded graphics from e3 last year ?

I thought that when they announced the PS+ version they said you could play through the full game but just not have all the cars or tracks, sucks that now it is only part of the sp game.

People had expectations and preferences, how unusual is that, huh? After all, if the game would be 30 fps from the start, why the delay? But you're just trolling, since your first post here. Nevermind then.
Because unfortunately people only want 30fps to be an issue when it suits them.
I play all kinds of racers and don#t care if it's sim or arcade. I am only going to buy one though, so I am more likely to pick up the one which gives me a smooth 60fps experience. Driveclub would really need to blow my socks of to convince me otherwise.
Now those comparision are even more painful when we know the framerate of each game. People should chill down with these things.

Not really.
Locked 30 with good motion blur and Visuals and GI that is No1 right now in Racing games then I am more than happy.
I WOULD have preferred 60 but that was my heart..my head always said looking at this game and that Lighting that it had to be 30..I am sure once in my PS4 and playing I will just marvel at it.
Now set-up a Photo and Gif mode .....PLEEEAAASSSEEE!!
What in the....What in these visuals is disappointing?
People that think arcade racers don't need 60fps are probably children that never actually played an arcade racer.
Why the plural? Xbox One's 1st party showcase racing game runs at stable 60FPS they tell me.
The PS+ Edition will serve as the demo.
Dude the whole console war is bs. Wtf some people need to grow up. Every console has his positives and negatives.
Also. The the topic about picking a game that is almost completely different type of racing because of fps. That is just sad.
Why not say i am buying drive club and buy tekken because dc isnt 30 fps while we at it. This is just sad.
I am out of this debate. I just want this game to be great because i like the online concept of it
we're not allowed to complain about something we don't believe is right? cool
I think Driveclub had potential. I thought the year long silence would be a isgn saying that these guys are going for 60FPS. Instead they went with the "broader" approach and just made the game prettier. Good for others, but I couldn't care less about visual flair. So, no, Driveclub won't be getting my money. I'd rather support racing games if they hit 60fps, regardless of which platform.
it's never bad for people to expect more from the superior console (hardware wise.)

No I think he's confused (as I am to be honest) that people weren't expecting this game to be 30 fps from the get-go.
It's never been shown at any higher framerate than 30, I don't know why people held onto this hope that it would somehow magically jump to 60 fps.

I was pointing out that a racing game can still be great at 30fps. Hell, all my fave' racers are.
Sure, 60fps is always ideal. But i'm not going to cry myself to sleep over 30fps.

I hope that all those "so it's going to be a pretty slideshow"-people will stay away from future DRIVECLUB threads now that 30fps is confirmed, but I really doubt it.
60fps on a closed platform is not an achievement, it's a decision. Just deal with it, don't buy the game if you can't and please stay away from future DRIVECLUB threads.

It did, though. The environment views in DriveClub looked way better, but the racing footage looked downgraded from the gifs we were clamouring over last year. It may be a bit better than Forza, but it wasn't as impressive as footage from last year IMO.
Yeah back in the day 60 fps was the standard for arcade racers anything else was sacrilege. That's also why lots of people flipped out over the last Sega Rallye being only 30 fps.

Smooth gameplay vs better looking crowd? common now.
Thanks for digging that up.
A solid 30fps is a decent frame-rate. 60fps would have been great with those visuals, but I'm thinking they couldn't get the game to maintain 60fps well enough and that Evolution read the backlash about the absurd fluctuating frame-rate nonsense with Killzone, Knack, Infamous. A racing game needs a rock solid frame-rate -- whether it's 30fps or 60fps. To hell with frame-rate drops and frame-rates that constantly jump between 30-60fps causing stuttering.
because it's supposed to be a new thing?

The specs of the machines have very very little to do with if something will be 60fps or not.
Outside of the impossible situation of infinite local compute resources, this decision and compromise will always exist.
So it' bad for people to expect more from superior hardware?
F5 looks great all around for achieving 1080p/60fps, wish people would stop speaking shit about that game
You're always going to have 30 fps games on a console with closed architecture. Prepare your disappointment for PS5 games in advance.
It's out on PS+ the same day as the main retail release. More limited selection of tracks and cars, but it's about as good of a demo as you can get.
