Is your video still 60FPS, Blim?

If you have a large HDTV, stream this shit through your 360 immediately. I'm dying to get my hands on the demo

I know that, but the original file was 60FPS, thus I'm pressing the question.

Yeah this one is 59 fps, but I'm reencoding a proper 29.97 one right now.

Uh, Blim, this video is a mixture of replay and ingame, so it was 59.97fps. Check out Forzamotorsport.net forums or ask Che about it on neogaf...

But thanks for your effort; my PC sucks so original one was choppy; now I have 30fps one that I can handle!

BTW, didn't you think of 480P/59.97fps one?

No, it's 100% replay so it was 29.97 frames per seconds, in a 59 fps container.

Sorry, I misunderstood 'in game camera' thing that Pasqually(Bill Giese AFAIK) stated. Also a size of 30fps video that you encoded says that you are speaking truth... Yeah, as always you are one of the most believable man working on game website.

But I still wonder why Che uploaded 30fps video in 60fps.

He said it was their mistake, they'll have the same video as a proper 29.97fps file tomorrow.

This is indeed looking a lot better than I expected. I was disappointed with early shots, but then I guess that teaches us all a lesson about polish being added last :)

Did you notice the reflection in the mirrored visor of the driver as well? Nice touch...

How so? Do you mean they weren't mimicing TV broadcasts like camera angles? Because the replay system does more than that.

Simply, it doesnt look like a TV replay. I know its very hard, but this look really amateur. Gran Turismo or RBR has great replays.
