That car count though.
I'm not saying frame rate is unimportant. I'm a sucker for high and stable framerate myself. I just gave you the hint why reviewers don't base their score on that one metric alone, and rightly so.
Seeing lots of double digit differences in the stress test video, also some pretty obscene tearing...
Framerate is similar in both consoles. Your xbox shots have more cars on screen.

Le Mans with 40+ cars in the rain holding around 30 fps on consoles is actually impressive for me.
Those race settings even wreck some decent gaming PCs.
Hell, I need to have my i5-2500K @ 4.4 + GTX970 run on console graphic settings @ 1080p to get a full grid at Le Mans in the rain to run at a locked 60 fps. No joke.

I think it looks quite bad.

But the previous poster was just stating that reviewers should take this into account when reviewing it. If you were reviewing a fighting game and it dropped frames to this level I would damn sure expect to know that in the review.

is this with or without Day 1 patch?
I might get it for PS4 and if I am serious enough double dip when I have a good enough PC.
I think they will continue working on this, it sucks, but this is under extreme conditions.

Dat Screen Tear doh...
No one ever said it wasn't important, but it's also not always necessary to be locked 60fps in order to enjoy the game.
For some people? Sure, I guess it is but not everyone.
I appreciate what SMS are doing with this game and so I'll buy it (already have) and enjoy the game that it is, with all of it's faults.
Hell, one of my favourite games thus far this gen is The Golf Club because I'm an avid golfer who appreciates what they have done even though the performance can be quite poor on the consoles.
SMS seems to be pretty open about community suggestions and has commented that they may add an option to turn off that AA solution on the PS4 to avoid the ghosting, so if the community is vocal enough about a 30fps frame lock option on consoles, maybe they'll consider that as well.

Oh... Fps is really no good. For me in such games better to low graphics, than 60fps with such drops
its a weaker system. why are you suprised?

Hmm, I was hoping PS4 version would have better performance.
Could pick it up on pc but can't really see it getting much playtime there next to AC and iracing.
Let's hope it gets better after a couple patches.

What a visual and performance disaster. PROTIP: Don't advertise your game as being 60fps when it can't stay there. And holy shit, why do some developers still think screen tearing is acceptable?
It's the variations that make it worse, and DC feels pretty good at 30fps.
Looks like the PC version is definitely the way to go.
Yes.

You have a generous definition of "similar" for a completely technical discussion. Even making up excuses not used in the article.

Absolutely terrible on consoles. I'll pick it up once I have a capable PC.

I would totally go for a 30fps lock option for cases where the inconsistent framerate is too bothersome for me. I think this option should become mandatory for games targeting 60fps on consoles and failing to maintain it at acceptable level. Is that something difficult to implement in a game?
Similar = resemblance without being identical

Weird bug with the smoke effects (this might be considered nit picking, but still pretty noticeable)
Hehe, car humps bin.

That is a shadow casting into a smoke sprite. That is a good thing.

It's running at a lower resolution, it's surprising they couldn't manage at least some parity in terms of effects with that in mind.
My bad, looked weird to me. Guess I'm just not used to seeing it.
Some do take it into account, but it's most definitely not the ONE important thing when reviewing a game. "Skii" was wondering why the game can get good scores even if the framerate varies. As is evident from reviews, that is not the most important metric to the gamers and reviewers out here. Us sim-nuts obsess about framerates (and other stuff) - meanwhile, out there in the real world, people enjoy other aspects of games as well. And so a game is reviewed based on overall enjoyment and performance.

As Dictator93 said, it's A FEATURE!!!! Shadow casting over particles. And yes, I know, the result is horrible most of the time.

Has Gran Turismo 7 has suddenly been canceled or something?
Because last I heard (just 2 days ago) the Forza audio lead is now working with Polyphony Digital (Gran Turismo).

And with that I'm going to have to pass on this game. They should have done whatever it took to get that framerate stable and to get rid of that screen tearing, both of which are things that are very important for a racer, more so than most genres imo.
A shame because I was looking forward to my first PS4 sim.

of course not. but we KNOW fm6 is coming this fall. nothing has been said about gt7. hopefully its revealed at e3, but i dont think many expect it out this year.
On consoles?, no..............at least not yet...........
I don't know why Xbox One owners would be looking forward to GT7 unless it is going multiplat.

No rain and the frame-rate is still dropping and the image is tearing. Well done, Slightly Mad.

PS4 owners - don't look forward to GT7 because it's not coming to XB1.
