Aren't they still targeting 60fps?

They keep saying they are targetting 60 but are okay with 30 too. Simply means they aren't currently able to achieve it, so theres a full chance his will be 30 fps title on launch. Can't be sure

*Sighs* looks over performance, is this all we're getting going into the next generation? Better graphics and adding online features isn't an unexpected thing for new consoles, let alone a way to standout from a crowd of other games doing similar concepts.
They've got NFS, The Crew, and Forza 5 on their tails. Not to mention other racing titles being or becoming available on current consoles as well. Hopefully they can ask the ultimate question of "why should I buy this game?"
I could see a next-gen Motorstorm being a unique out-the-gate PS4 game, but this doesn't have any apparent 'wow factor' on the average consumer. And there's nothing here to truly inspire gear-heads like Gran Turismo or pixel-counters who want nothing but the best.
I guess Evolution will just have to hope the launch-console with slim pickings approach will help their chances again. But that could be their downfall if it doesn't work as well as they would hope.
I agree to that. There's no special hook to the game. If there is, we ain't seeing it at all.
That's not a trend, especially when there's been more good than bad on Sony's end.
And Vita ports? I have issues with the Vita's proprietary memory and crap content manager more than anything. Getting ports of Mobile and Indie PC titles optimized for an actual gaming handheld is a really good thing to me.
You obviously have not played Vita Jak&Daxter. Or QForce....
Those were the ports I meant, I do not know why Bigduo assumed PC ports...

Which has what to do with Driveclub? You seriously are going to cherry pick some ports and extrapolate to all of Sony software? Just look at Evolution's releases if you want an indication of their quality.
In my humble opinion, DriveClub seems to be pretty mediocre and that is a worrying trend for the whole of Sony's game publishing.
I thought Motorstorm RC was brilliant, but the other Motorstorm games have not become more and more fun with each sequel.
Everything you've pointed out up to this point is very few and far between in all of Sony's publishing and developing efforts. Even your problems with the Motorstorm series is highly debatable, your dislike of those games is your opinion and not a wide consensus of criticism.
Feel free to point out more numerous examples, but do it in a thread of your own creation.
Mediocre compared to what? And is LoU mediocre? GoW 3 or Acension? Uncharted? LBP? If your standards are set so high as too label games like that mediocre then the last decade must have been very mediocre for you. No matter what console or PC you chose to pin your flag to.

Well, watched that video again and I think he uses the GI term very ambiguously. He seems to be referring to the day night cycle and not really to realtime GI. Not very clear.
Btw, there was an article recently saying that Driveclub is only 35% done yet and they will have a new n improved demo at Gamescom. Maybe, thats why they are not releasing any direct feed footage as it isn't ready yet to be shown. Pretty little time left for launch now.

GT6. Forza. Outrun. Daytona (whatever the new version is called).
LoU was awesome, GoT so far for me. Ascension felt pretty mediocre in the demo I played.
And mediocre is not bad, it is between bad and good. You can have something mediocre and still be satisfied.
So you give a counterclaim to my claim (that Sony has bad quality in its publishing) and then you do not want me to answer here but in another thread? If you think something is OT (which my claims may very well be) you should not continue the discussion. Instead you should tell a mod to move or delete the discussion (or just ignore it).
But it is ok, I will not talk to you any more in this thread

Never heard of the latter two, but the first are sims. This is more in the likes of PGR or NFS.
GoW:A has a metascore of 80, which is not considered mediocre in my books. And it wasn't even made by the main team at SSM AFAIK and was not part of the main story.
We're nearing the end of the console generation... most of Sony's WW studios have moved on to the PS4. GT6 and TLoU are their last titles. To suggest there's a mediocre trend is ridiculous... Sony arguably has the best first-party devs in the business.
It felt mediocre to me. And how do you know which is the main team as Santa Monica?
