Grand Theft Auto VI and Grand Theft Auto Online Could Be Sold Separately; Rockstar Is Targeting Solid 30 FPS on Consoles, According to Former Animator

[kemsat@lemmy.world]

I hope so! I’m interested in buying the single player game, and have absolutely zero interest in the online experience.

[admin@sh.itjust.works]

30 fps wouldn't be bad if its consistent and stable, have you ever played on a low end PC at 15-22 fps?

[ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf]

30 fps
Lol, what kind of bushit is this? 30 fucking fps. Unplayable garbage.

[gladiusb@lemmy.world]

I'm not. I don't have a tricked out PC to wait LONGER THAN MY SON HAS BEEN ALIVE for a 30 frames AAA game.

That isn't AAA. It's pure corporate greed.

[lorty@lemmy.ml]

We'll get 60 and above on pc a while later anyway. Also the sold separately thing is probably just like they did with RDR2 where you could get everything or just the multiplayer part of the game, which I personally think is fine.

[cimmerian@lemmy.world]

This is going to be TARGETED 30fps for consoles...

Your overpriced pc will probably go above that. Calm down

[ampersandrew@lemmy.world]

What makes you think other games will be able to get away with $100 when plenty of them are having a tough time getting away with $70?

[gladiusb@lemmy.world]

You calm down. Arrogant prick.

[hadriscus@lemm.ee]

I played Oblivion at 8fps, bring it on

[0ops@lemm.ee]

I need a support group for this ffps.

Fixed that for ya

[nocturnalmorning@lemmy.world]

None that I've ever seen. It takes a lot of work to get good graphics even for 60 fps, a lot of optimization, that depending on the type of game, might be very expensive and time consuming to do.

[umbrella@lemmy.ml]

the thing is "a pc" is very vague.

you are probably talking about a pc several generations behind, in that case its awesome that the game even runs.

[kolanaki@pawb.social]

I have to assume they're targeting 30fps because that would be using all the bells and whistles like raytracing and running at 4k on the consoles; which are unlikely to be able to achieve 60fps or higher with all that shit on.

And, as they have done with literally every single GTA since 3: It likely won't release on PC at the same time. It will come 1-2 full years later.

you need 2 spaces and 2 enters after the first line to make it separate from the quote:

(yeah I know, formatting is really dumb)

[risingswell@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I grew up breaking games to make them run under minimum settings. Subnautica has (or at least had) a Dev menu or some shit that you could make the game look like utter arse.

Got me like 18fps at 480p, worth it #playable for younger me.

If I get under 100fps at 4k now I'm unhappy. How times change.

[thcdenton@lemmy.world]

I know that feel bro

[skulblaka@sh.itjust.works]

Because Rockstar is going to do it and sell a gorillion copies, so it's basically a guarantee that everyone else will jump on the opportunity. And once every game is $100, what are people going to do, stop buying video games? I find that unlikely anymore. They'll bitch and complain about it and sales might drop a little on average but studios will survive. And now we have a new price floor set forever.

[molecularcactus1324@lemmy.world]

I already never intend to play it. I only care about single player. Hopefully this means the game is cheaper.

[tatterdemalion@programming.dev]

Copium. We're well beyond the days when anything under 60 FPS is cheap and lazy craftsmanship.

[ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf]

Thanks, fixed it!
