Reading some reviews, I was disappointed to learn that the console versions have frequent framerate drops. Also, if the videos I've watched are any indication, there seems to be some screen tearing and very noticeable pop-up/pop-in, especially during driving segments.

For them to charge 60 USDs for a shoddy port of a 2 year-old game is just ridiculous. I was going to buy the PS4 version once it dropped to around 20 dollars, but now I'll just wait till it's part of an "under $10" sale on Gamefly.
