Good Lord, so much marketing about "next-gen" yet 60 still ain't a guarantee πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Bro if 30 fps is their target, I guarantee Switch 2 is going to get a version of this

If they intend to charge for GTA VI online, I will never play it

I hope they release as independent games, with a bundle deal ideally.

I dont want to buy the multiplayer on console because i dont pay for console subscriptions just to play multiplayer. I will wait for a PC release to play purchase multiplayer once and not indefinitely pay for it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

If they do it will be $60 for single player and $30 for online instead of $60 for everything.

idc as long as it's not coming to PC. Don't need GTA online anyway.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Remember, they released GTAV with 30FPS first to PS5 , then they sold an upgraded PS5 version @60FPS for an additional $10 (which is free on most games).

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is false information. GTA V was backwards compatible from the ps4 version which ran at 30fps. Then they released an upgraded ps5 version that ran at 60fps. It wasnt a bad deal either.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah but they still charged for the "upgrade". A lot of gaming companies give you the PS5 version of a game for free if you already own the PS4 version.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

That is only if the game released on both consoles simultaneously, the ps4 version of gtav came out years ago, they deserved to charge for the upgrade...

And i am the opposite of a rockstar fanboy.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That is incorrect. They added a bunch to that $10 upgrade.

I don't do modern consoles, do people consider 30fps acceptable?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

From what i have seen, 60fps is acceptable for High Settings, 30fps is acceptable when Ray tracing is turned on

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Very rare to see 30fps games on PS5 that don't have a performance option to get to 60.

Especially action games.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Not me. I think it's insane to ship a PS5 game that performs that poorly even on non-"pro" consoles

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Yes, 30fps is fine, and expected even if you're also expecting ultra realistic graphics. This expectation that people have of games being 60 fps and being stupid realistic is nonsense. You want realistic graphics and reflections when a game is first released, your gonna get 30 fps. And honestly, you can hardly tell the difference anyway.

Edit: Always expect the downvotes when I say this. The people in gaming subs, almost never understand how games are developed. Just demand without understanding the limitations of hardware and software.

Absolutely not. I don’t remember the last time I played a game without 60fps performance option on my PS5

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Same, even on my old GPU I'd adjust quality until I got stable 60, otherwise no thanks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

For most people the further they sit away from a screen the less they are going to notice it. And console gamers play on a tv from the couch. Of course if you show them a 60fps version after they played in 30fps they will notice but most people don’t understand why that is and thus not care. Like how many people watch movies with motion smoothing on since they don’t see that it looks smoother than the movies in the cinema.

Rockstar can get away with this since the vast majority of GTA player will be mainstream casual gamers that only have fifa/madden and CoD in their gaming collection.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

A stable 30 fps is perfectly playable for most people, yes

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Most don't, the people who say they don't realize it probably also say that "there's no difference between 1080p and 4k!"

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago (3 children)

The majority of people playing don't know the difference. I am shocked there won't be a 60fps mode, i can't remember the last time I've been forced to play at 30fps outside of playing older games locked to it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's not shocking, when you consider the level of graphical fidelity they'll be pushing on screen.

The more detail you add, the lower the framerate, on any given hardware. They will be balancing "oh my God!" level graphics, with playable frame rates. The fact they're shooting for such a relatively low frame rate, shows how hard they're pushing the hardware.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I would imagine the game is at the highest possible graphic fidelity for consoles, and also the scale of the game will have a factor.

Remember. Gta V came out 12 years ago. It didn't run at 60fps on any console until the PS5

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, i know, for myself I didn't really get to experience it until 2016 when I built myself a PC with mid range specs and then when I got the ps4 pro in like 2018. I say it's one of those things where once you get to have it, you never wanna go back.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah. I have a PS5 and I heard gta 6 won't launch on PC right away, but then I heard it is coming to PC lol. So idk. I'm almost hitting 40 and playing on my couch and tv has been more fun lately. But sometimes I just know a game will run much better on my PC.

What I should do is put my current build into a super small box with an external PSU and just install steam os and hook it up to my tv
