Can someone post screenshots which weren't taken using the photo mode so we can get a more realistic view of what the game really looks like
It looks as if its running at more than 30fps though?

Its 30fps as an absolute minimum i'd say, but it never falters. Tbh (and im really anal about framrates on PC's) it just doesn't even enter your head when you're playing this, its THAT good. Is it 30fps? Is it 40fps? I dont know, whatever it is, it feels and looks perfect.

Cause you really notice it's running at 30fps... *yawn*. It feels faster than 60fps driving games I have played in the past, it's smooth and it's gorgeous.
Took some ingame shots from a replay.. bit hard to take a photo whilst driving etc so i paused a replay and change the cam angle .. this is not photo mode.. just a replay paused of the ingame gfx you can see slight differences in the AA but a lot of that is down to bizarre using some really odd scaling on this game.
Apologies for the orange tinge on the right.. my curtains are a sickening shade of orange and the sun is blaring in.
and a pic from my recently acquired ride in my garage

Really annoys me that even with all the connectivity the 360 can manage, there is absolutely no way to transfer the photos off of the Xbox. Absolute madness. Being bluntley honest, they copy a feature from GT4 and manage to miss the most important bit.
(Disclamier: I am not a fanboy and I do own a 360 with this game. I also love it to bits. The above is only my opinion)

I'm gonna have to get myself banned from this sub forum because of these pics. They're starting to make me cry since I doubt i'll get me console until well after xmas.

Whats the physics like on it, as good as GT4?

I'm not sure. I'm finding it a lot easier off the bat, and I haven't been playing racing games in ages. I also can't find any way to turn off driving aids
Here's a couple of my TVR - excuse the reflection and the slight graininess, my camera doesn't seem to like 60hz.
[edit]
Much better with the lights off and at 1/30th!

Tired? lol.
The difference between 30fps and 60fps is night and day, chalk and cheese. If you can't notice it then you need to play some other games to see the difference. Try PGR1 and PGR2 on the Xbox, the former is 60fps and the latter is 30fps.
A competent game company like Namco will not release a game unless it is 60fps, period. They tone down the graphics as necessary to achieve the framerate. Clearly with PGR3, detail was paramount and smoothness/speed was secondary. Probably because they know a) smoothness/speed doesn't matter for screenshots and b) people like yourself are easily pleased.
Man of Honour
Although the difference between 60fps and 30fps is noticable (certainly between PGR1 + PGR2), it really isn't the end of the world, and most non-uber-picky people don't really notice / give a flying scotsman. People seem to be slating the game as if 30fps is a slideshow. It's only bad when the fps drops below the limit really.
In PGR3's case, I'd rather have it more consistently smooth on 30fps than juddery + more slowdowns / less detail on the 60fps side.

Do you have this game? Have you even played it? Mate, it doesn't matter if this runs at 30/40/50 or 60fps, it looks absolutely stunning, no matter how much you try to play it down. I have never seen a racer out there that even comes close to this.

What a rude statment i am sorry but making out that in some way people that dont notice the difference in 30fps and 60fps are easily pleased or in some way lower then yourself is utter rubbish all you are trying to do is flame this game (proberly because you dont own it and hate that fact)
Their is no room for people like yourself in this thread as it was created by me for one reason to show people great pics of this fantastic game
All you have done in your coments is try to flame this game when you know deep down its the best looking racing game ever

Umm but they've acheived both detail and smoothness/speed almost perfectly imo. As I said in an earler thread, I am extremely picky with framerates on both PC and console games, and I even go so far as to not play games with slowdown. Every time my framerate even thinks about slightly dropping below 60fps in WoW I'm hitting Ctrl-R in a blind panic. But for some reason, with PGR3 it doesn't matter. I've been following all the '60fps vs 30fps' and 'omfg Bizarre what have you done!' threads for the past few weeks, and theres an awful lot of arguments for and against.
Maybe its the motion blur effects or something, but if it is only running at 30fps, it really doesn't detriment the experience at all. And thats not coming from someone (like a few of my mates) who dont seem to see slowdown, im very picky.
Also, saying someone is 'easily pleased' because they dont demand 60fps in their games is a bit harsh. I'd rather I wasn't so anal about framerates as I often am, because I'm sure i'd enjoy more games.

Hmm.
Play PGR1 and 2 next to each other and you might notice the difference. Play one or the other and you will not notice the difference. You see, the human eye can discern between rapid changes in frame rates. As we all know film, or cinema uses something like 24 fps which is of the lower bound that the human eye considers fluid motion. This is of course a solid 24fps and the eye is happy to consider that fluid and constant. Its when a computer game rapidly jumps that the eye notices the peculiarity. Even playing two games next to each other one at 30 and one at 60, if they were constant it would be hard to tell them apart. Play one at 60 and have it slow down to 30 for a second or two, then youd realise. From what ive heard PGR3 makes a pretty good job at stable performance so the whole fps issue is neither here nor there.
