I've not played all of them, which Motorstorm ran at 60fps?

It could be argued that GI and real time, time of day changes have a huge impact on the gameplay. Which may have not have been possible at 60 fps. That may not be important to you but a game like this I find that exciting.
I promise you there will 60fps racers on this gen. Driveclub is not going to force every other developer to do the same as them.
Yeahhh, I didn't see a downgrade at all.

This is a matter or priorities of course. And for a racer, I feel the priority really should have been on framerate and fluidity. I understand they want to wow us with a lot of pixels and next-gen and stuff, but still.. :/
No, crowd is less important. What is more important is that almost every F5 track is activley trying to blind gamers:
Dynamic weather and time of day plays a big role in sim racing. Its nice that arcade DriveClub will have TOD support [no rain/fog], but static weather in Forza5 made that game unappealing to me.
Nope, not hardly.
I'm really excited for this game and I've actually made multiple posts in this thread, so try again to find a reason to discount my opinion on Driveclub. I've been all about this game since it was announced and have loved Evolution's racing games for years.
I find people banking all their excitement on something like 60 FPS or bust to be downright silly. Sue me.

Generally agree. Even on consoles, the very best arcade-style racers are all 60fps just as the best sim-racers there are also 60fps.
Pretty sure that MCLA was 60fps.
I already have a good PC, but the fact that Sony have been talking up the power of their console and hardly give us titles that utilize 60 fps is a disappointment.

And because the trailer has loads of cameras panning around stationary cars, and bits in slow motion, you can crank youtube up to 2x and get an idea of how the game will look at 60 fps! yay!

Evo's past motorstorm games were 30fps and they were all insanely fun and enjoyable. I can't wait to see the handling of cars in Driveclub

Embarrassing. I feel like developers give in to outside pressure to have better IQ more than they do to have higher fps. I can't help but feel like youtube is to blame for capping out at 30fps. That must affect marketing.

Throwing out so and so game on old hardware made in whatever year was 1080p/60fps is completely irrelevant and it ignores the basic fact that game development is about decisions and compromises with limited resources.
Evolution definitely could make the game run at 1080p/60fps, but the compromises to get there apparently don't fit their vision for their game.

Not a big deal for me...for people complaining there will be a PSN+ version so just try that and see if you like how the gameplay feels.
Yeah, definitely.
It's disappointing that both of the next-gen consoles don't look like they're built to last but it's early. Hopefully 60fps is still a target a few years from now when sequels are getting made.

Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
I'll believe it when I see it. Really, I'll believe it. Until then I'll just take his word for it. Evolution has made my favorite racing games ever and I'm really looking forward to playing it. I really need a new racer.
Well, it would strike me as odd to have the entire SP game only take place on a subset of the tracks.
It ran at 60fps on 360 too. Not really impressive

That's some serious bullshit.
I played the shit out of Forza 3 last gen but still had a blast while playing Horizon and never felt that the game should've been at 60.
Like the last gen?
There'll always be sacrifices to be made, even on the "most powerful console ever released", and the very first thing on the chopping block will always be framerate because 30 is "fine".
It's frustrating as hell, but it is what it is.

I am playing that game since launch, and gotta disagree with this. On some tracks the sun light is more than needed, but that's not the case for all the track. The game looks freaking gorgeous even after downgrade, and gameplay is solid. In terms of weather effect and day/night cycle. Yes its disappointing, but you are comparing with the game that will be a year old by the time Driveclub is released.

Not really but we've known it'd be 30 FPS pretty much since it's announcement. I think they may have mentioned looking into 60 but that wasn't going to happen (at least I Never Thought sk). That's probably why some people are a bit confused by the disappointment expressed by some.
It's like people who were disappointed that the Order was a linear story based TUS even though they said that since announcement
Modern gaming, distilled into two lines.
I'm not a child and I've played tons of arcade racers.
Come up with an actual argument next time.

Huge bummer about the frame rate. The only racing series I have ever truly loved was PGR and Burnout and in both I feel that high FPS was key.

Thank god for confirmation, now hopefully the 60FPS or die crowd can go somewhere else and complain.
Seriously guys, all of the Motorstorm games last gen were 30 FPS, if you didn't play those, and you're bitching about 60 now, then you set yourself up for disappointment.
Can't wait for this
Definitely not okay with that lol.

I wasn't trying to discount your opinion about the game, rather your opinion about people who didn't like the news. People have different opinions, I understand that. But saying things like "Meltdowns over 30fps" and "60fps tears" don't seem to me directed at the game, instead to the people.
It has been the trend in every generation of consoles, so I don't see why this is surprising.
I think you just confirmed what he said.
I played that game into the ground on and offline and loved both modes.

I disagree completely on that. I like a stable 60 when I'm on PC but on consoles I'd rather they focus on making the games as pretty as possible, I'm used to 30 and prefer the good looks.
That's not to say 60 isn't great, it is, but still.

To me, 30 fps is decent. And in an arcade racer, 60 fps is a waste of resources.
Driveclub needs to be the game the average Joe sees and instantly wants to buy a PS4 just for the visuals (I'm not stating it's going to lack in gameplay though).

I think it's the whole 'Next Generation should be 1080p 60fps as a standard' thing.
