Pretty it up... 30 FPS are good enough IMO.

If they make it 30FPS then the GT lovers and Forza lovers will always downplay the game even if it is somehow better than both (I doubt it).
Still looking forward to playing it though.

You're the minority opinion on that though. Solid locked 30fps is just fine when you're not moving so fast. That's why it suited killzone because your soldier doesn't move too fast.30fps is for second tier franchises... and what do you know, I consider Uncharted just that.

30 fps and amazing racing game are mutually exclusive, pick one OP.
I can't even imagine buying a new gpu to have to play my games at 30 fps, lowered expectations...

Real talk though I know I -can- fuck with a 30fps racer. Forza Horizon was pretty magnificent and at 30. It's not the same, but it can go a long way.

30fps is fine. No one ouside of GAF will care or raise a storm. They will care about dem graphics though.
Your original point was that they changed something in the Killzone series. They didn't. It's pretty shameful to change an argument to suit the facts when they disagree with your original premise.

Not interested at 30fps. The game does not look THAT good, that the frame rate would be sacrificed. As others have said, Forza 5 can manage it and that arguably looks better.
Seriously, the game needs to be 60fps. You can talk all the shit you like about better environments, which the vast majority of players won't even notice or care that much; or you can prioitise gameplay, like a man

Which is why it's unacceptable in a racing game.
If this is 30 FPS I won't even bother downloading the copy I get with PS+.
The full game is MSRP at retail and a Prologue type version for free. What kind of STALE shade
Boo.
It really sounds like Driveclub is just being thrown together last minute. Shouldn't a decision as huge as framerate be locked in very early on in the design process? It runs deeper than just sacrificing fidelity.
You must have avoided alot of PS360 racers.

I was already suspicious when they said they were "aiming" for 60fps, but with a statement like this they might as well say the game is going to be 30fps.
Pre-baked lighting vs Dynamic lighting.

Nobody outside of Gaf is going to notice those extra visual effects, unless they are absolutely amazing. Nothing we've seen would suggest a massive leap over current gen.
Very old, exact same quotes and everything.
I enjoyed Motorstorm at 30fps. I will enjoy Driveclub at whatever it ends up being.

And to think its on the DRM loving expensive DVR . Anyway getting both so ill judge for myself until then ill enjoy this thread .
We've hardly see what the game will actually look like at launch
unless you mean staring at a bunch of 35% complete videos and not understanding Evolution has always pumped up the visual splendor during the last leg of their development processes.

All the time! If I did play one, and it was 30fps, I simply considered it a second tier racer. Those games can never be among my favorites.
I don't get it. Driveclub looks almost current-gen compared to Forza. Is it fair to assume that MS is just working that much closer with T10 to ensure a damned good looking game?
I didn't think it was "just fine", even before we factor in the framerate drops.
30fps is for second tier franchises... and what do you know, I consider Uncharted just that.
That said, if it's solid it is acceptable. But it must be -rock- solid, and it can't be one of the genres I mentioned. When I said 'action' game, I meant more like the DmC mold.
Nice edit. You must have felt how slippery that slope was, playboy.

Don't get all upset brah, I'm so very sorry I was "changing an argument"
30 fps sucks for all games, 60 would make the world better. That's all I mean. I'm definitely feeling the shame I should be feeling for mentioning Killzone's dogshit framerate.

Solid 30 and max visual detail is the best bet, simply because 30fps versus 60fps wont cost you as many sales as having half visual quality.
Run the vehicle simulation and input polling at 60 for best responsiveness, because even if DF's junk-science testing methodology cant detect it, it does have an impact.

I agree.
Even in people don't articulate it I am pretty sure even the most casual gamers notice. CoD is super popular surely in part due to 60fps. I also would think the average person playing Driveclub or Forza is more savvy on this stuff, considering there's a good community portion that buys wheels just for them.
This is what I'm thinking too. ~3-4 months, changing something like this seems insane. I would not expect them to actually go to 60fps.

Yeah, 30fps without weather or real driving variety (off-road, snow, etc.) doesn't seem worth it.

I'll happily accept 2D trees if thats what it takes to get 60fps.
No reason it shouldn't be 60 FPS -- like Sonic on Sega Genesis

I don't think for a second there's going to be this huge graphical leap come launch day.
Watching Forza 5 gameplay makes me sad. It just looks so damn good.
I'll miss you my friend.
And when Gran Turismo 7 comes out and is somehow both graphically superior by far AND 60 FPS people will throw this game in the garbage where it belongs if it's 30 FPS.
