What do you mean for us, if you are talking about North America then we dont know because we dont even know if they are going to release it here.

» Awesome, simply fantastic

This game will come out in the US, even if it doesn't (which I highly doubt) you can download it from another region anyway, the PS3 isn't restricted like the 270.

You TV has nothing to do with frame rate - have you played GT HD free download via PSN ?? So what it the replays are only 30fps its a bloody replay..

» 30fps replay

if its just a "bloody" replay, why have it at all then? why cant it be 60fps as its just a replay? at least keep everything consistent - at 60fps the replays would run/look tru to life speeds, that is all...

if this is your biggest gripe, id hate to be around you on a daily basis. Do you even use the replays? I'll take gameplay at 60 fps on 1080p happily, thanks.

1080p at 30fps is called 1080i...

You're an idiot, resolution is not determined by how many Frames per second is being output.

by DeRail - 2007-08-29 03:12
» you are wrong

actually 1080i mostly exists at 60fps which then gets 3:2:2 pulldown to convert to 24fps to look like film...



fps has no bearing on what resolution it is or whether its interlaced or progressive.

Replays are needed. For many real fans of driving, 1st person view will be most preferred where none of the car ur driving can be seen. In order to compensate, they view replays of how they drove in cinematic style.



......FFS this IS a highly detailed photorealistic game BTW.

IS the replay and gameplay framerate from GTHD the same as the announced prologue?
