About the last bit. That's what I don't understand about the internet you have people claim the Naughty Dog are gods and the best dev in terms of technical terms when there game is only 720p 30FPS while developers like Polyphony Digital and Santa Monica doing 1080p 60FPS games (55% more the resolution and double the frame rate).

 

They are racing games.  The environments and influence of the player are incredibly limited and controlled compared to a game like Uncharted or whatever.

 

Plus look at the development time frame for Uncharted 2, then look at how much longer GT5 is taking.

Pretty much this. A game like Uncharted requires far more effects, larger, more detailed and open areas than a racing game. Also, the actions of the player and the repercussions are far more unpredictable in a shooting game, so there would likely be more physics calculations to carry out at any single moment in time. I mean, they probably had to drop it to 30fps just for Nathan Drake's real-time cloth physics .
