25fps huh?Gemüsepizza;91783048 said:
What's with people's 60fps frenzy lately? Am I the only one who doesn't really 'like' 60fps most of the time?
Call me crazy, but it often makes a game feel too 'gamey' and quick, not as natural or movie-feeling (I guess). For twitch multiplayer it makes more sense I suppose, but I actually don't get the big fuss about 60fps.
Is it because if 30fps ever dips it's highly noticeable, whereas 60fps dipping isn't something most would spot as easily? As long as it's hard locked to 30fps and never dips, I don't mind it.

Looks like a supercharged version of Dirt 3.
for me the fps is a huge factor in racing games
first thing that comes to mind in these days is NFS Rivals / Forza Motorsport 5 and the same thing with Forza Horizon for last gen, the game was really good but the sense of speed it's just not there
this is obviously imho, Driveclub still looks amazing, but 60fps would be a pretty huge deal for me

This is the next ps4 game I want the most. Can't wait for it to come out.

What? There is clear and obvious aliasing in the file footage. Even the steam I can see it.

Project Cars' tracks are F1 racing tracks though, right? Not what I think of when I think of gorgeous racing game.
To make the equivalent to Forza Horizon I guess... Would make sense on a marketing perspective. And I wouldn't mind considering I had a lot more fun with Horizon than FM4.
Why would you not expect it to look better? They've targeted 30fps and arcade racing.
Playing "better" would probably be subjective. I don't enjoy arcade racers like I do sims.
Thought there targetting 60 fps?
Design decision was 30fps at start, later they said they would try to get 60fps, so currently we don't know...
Just by looking at it I'd say 30fps but still looks amazing and it'd be even more amazing if it would be stable 60fps. But better lock at 30 than variable.

I am still glad this got delayed. This game being on display now has the chance to sell systems.
I'm with you on this one in terms of not understanding the "OMG THIS ISN'T 60FPS IT'S UNPLAYABLE GARBAGE RABBLE RABBLE RAAARRRRRR crowd."
Obviously I think 60FPS is silky smooth and very fluid, but I would happily play Driveclub at the framerate we see in the encoded videos or the GIFs - it's more than playable there and it looks gorgeous. The game doesn't move so fast that the fluidity of 60 is needed to properly gauge reaction times and play the game.
Something like Wipeout HD on the fastest settings, though, moves in a way that 60 is almost a necessity to see and analyze everything that's flying your way. The framerate on the Vita version (Wipeout 2048) makes it very hard to play at the higher end of the difficulty spectrum.
So... some games need 60fps if they're fast-moving games or require absolute precise timing, but for 90% of what I play, 30 is good!
Yes, good example. Wipeout is akin to a twitch online shooter in that respect, so I actually can see anything less than 60fps being a hindrance there.
I remember playing GT5 and admiring the smoothness of everything, but at the same time thinking 'wow this is very gamey looking'. Odd.
hopefully there will be a few more PS4s in stock
Yeah, for the style of game it's good/fine that they aim for 30fps. 60 would be great, but isn't necessary.
Also, this looks good...I question what racing games people saying "greatest looking racer ever" have played though. Looks good...on par with what I expect for this new-gen for an arcade racer. I don't find that particular track all that flattering...but that's due to the locale.
let them dream

What??
The first rule of Driveclub is you don't talk about frame rate. It is what it is, let the guys making the game decide. Too many cooks, a camel is a horse designed by a committee etc.

Also I don't think anyone has said or is saying that the game NEEDS TO HAVE 60 FPS OR WILL BE UNPLAYABLE. But honestly, it's 2013, and while the game looks great (now) it doesn't look like something that couldn't be running at 60fps. And for racers, 60 is HIGHLY preferred. I'm sorry but if you say you PREFER 30fps like that special comment in this thread that said "60fps feels too gamey" I simply do not believe you and believe you have an agenda.
Pgr was a fantastic game at 30. But there's no debate. It would've been even better at 60. It absolutely affects gameplay in racers.

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.
The lighting from DriveClub looks incredible, better than what Polyphony has done with GT.

LOL. Is that even possible?
News flash - It's not a sim racer.
Driveclub isn't a sim racer so you're all good.
Every notable racing or fighting game that I can think of is 60fps. Since Sega and Namco got it started in the Arcades, there was no going back.
I hate to say it, but to me its been one of the key differences between Tier-1 and Tier-2.
Not trying to knock Drive Club, as it looks amazing.

Are they even trying to be a sim racer? From the trailers I got more of a PGR/Forza Horizon vibe

PD is still on PS3 lets wait to see what they can do on PS4 first .
DC look awesome and has me even more hype for GT7.
Polyphony Digital on PS4 will be glorious.
Whaa...? So PGR, Motorstorm, NFS are all not notable? Anyway, I'm done getting involved in this debate.
Not really considering polyphony are on an inferior hardware and they arguably have the best lighting on any game this gen
Amazing what better hardware can do

GT is an arcade racer by default. It's only until you scour the menus and turn off all the training wheel bullshit assists do you begin to enter the simulation aspect of it. With a steering wheel mind you.
