IGN always see frame rate issues with the PS3 games that other publications doesnt even mention .With AC it was so ashaming that they actually had to delete the comments due to all the people in the forums showing them actual videos of the game.

I am not saying it is free from any frame rate issue ,but IGN just tend to magnify this all the time .I suppose it is being due to X360 editors of the mag doing the PS3 reviews of the multiplattform games .Wich is in itself a shame for the mag .

I am pretty sure that although the game may have one or two of these problems mentioned by the review they are so minor that 95% of the users wont even notice it .

Framerate is a huge deal for many gamers. Personally, I'd rather see a game render in 480p with 60fps than 1080p with 30fps or an inconsistently low framerate. Last weekend we were switching between Forza 2 and NFS:MW for the 360, and it was just pure pain. EA seems to think that ~20fps is good enough for racing games, MW looks like poop also.

I just don't see how a company like Insomniac or the guys that did Call of Duty 4 can outclass EA's money or Valve's "expertise"

EA is a money machine.  They're not focused on making good games, they're focused on making "good enough" games.  Look at their madden games, look at the NFS games.  Many of the people I play games with didn't have a problem with 15-20fps in NFS:MW or thought that Forza 2 and NFS: Pro Street were "mirror images".

My point is that most gamers don't discern that much between good and bad framerates, they don't discern as much between racing games with good physics and racing games that are just plain hard to drive.  The same goes with EA's football games: if the names and stats are correct and you can run or pass, it's football.
