This pic is what I took from Gran Turismo 5 earlier and this is not even in photo mode, it's on Circuit de la Sarthe 2005. Hasn't anyone noticed all the "best looking games" run at 30 FPS? Btw, GT5 runs at 60, not to confuse.

Almost nobody cares--as far as 95% of gamers are concerned, frame rate is of almost no importance, and devs, to my chagrin, develop with this attitude in mind, e.g. see Insomniac's comments about 60fps gameplay a few years back.

It matters for high speed racing, and GT5 also renders in 1280x1080. The higher vertical resolution gives a clearer view on the road.
So sure FH has more effects going on and better anti aliasing, but it also has 3 times as much time per pixel to produce the 720p30 picture. And as a result I've driven straight into medians at highspeed in FH that appeared out of nowhere, perfectly blended into the road.
Once you go 200 mph (89 m/s) the difference between 30 and 60fps starts to become important.
