Then play this game on the PC. The game looks absolutely stunning on my 37inch tv hooked up to my pc. With beta drivers i was able to use 8xAA and 8x transparency AA on my gtx 570.
Seriously this game was meant for 60fps, not 30. The sense of speed you get going 250 mph with 60fps non stop cannot be understated.
Criterion should have cut down the effects for the console versions to get them at 60fps, and then released a graphically superior version for the pc because a well equipped pc can handle anything.

Want 60 fps?
I'm happy with their decision. The game is amazing on the consoles. I think cutting it to 30 on the consoles gave them way more room to maneuver than just cutting some of the graphics - and then the PC still gets the best of all worlds.

Who cares. 60 fps, 30 fps, as long as i'm enabled to play the damn game without much errors, bugs or other annoyances, and with full control over my vehicle, then i really dont care about it. And your argument that the game seems faster with 60 Fps makes little sense to me. More frames = less speed in the animation. Cutting frames mean that you get more speed. It's just an illusion, it's not faster, but smoother, big difference. But i digress.
lol, no man. I really don't know where to begin if you think cutting frames will make the game faster. Its literally the opposite of reality."

Think "man". You are walking in 5 seconds. Do you think it's better to you use 60 frames per second or 30? More frames = more animations in each frame = smoother experience, but NOT faster. I think it's pretty obvious, but please explain if you think you're right.

"Interrupt", you mean, yes? Or "argument"?

BUT as it goes, the less frames per second, the slower it looks like it is running, which is exactly what the OP said.
Sure some games are designed foe 30hz and that double framerate won't make any difference in input speeds, but there's still the final product you see running twice as smooth.
Forcing AA does make a big difference, but unfortunately caused other image problems for me. Framerates have been kinda all over the place for me too, ranging from ~50 into sudden drops down to about ~15 (and usually putting me into a wall). I haven't messed about with settings too much to try and smooth things out though, so that could just be how I have it set up, or my PC, or something.

"To force AA uses a lot of video memory at this time. The drivers are VERY beta and unless you have over a gig of video memory you will get slowdown. I dont have any other image problems however.
" It's pretty awesome on my 360, but now I am intrigued by the PC option...it sounds incredible. "Won't be supported with any of the DLC though and, without a 360 style friends list, it's slightly more cumbersome to get the Auto-Log working as it was intended.
I'm loving it, but it sounds like the 360 version may be a better choice in some areas.
I have this for both PC and 360 now, I would love to see it run in 60 FPS. The game has a fantastic sense of speed, but console owners should not be worried or feel bad. The game looks and runs amazingly on consoles too.
