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

[viscloreader@lemmy.world]

Honestly I'm fine with this as long as the graphics justifies the framerate.

[generalemergency@lemmy.world]

It's comment threads like this that just show how absolutely clueless G*mers are.

[ampersandrew@lemmy.world]

First off, that fake word sucks. Second, it doesn't really apply here anyway.

[ampersandrew@lemmy.world]

It's a number that divides easily into 120, which mattered more for old TVs, and it's far enough over the threshold to trick our minds into seeing a bunch of still frames as a moving thing.

[yournamehere@lemm.ee]

it does

rockstar like any ultracapitalistic brand loves money so much they'd do anything.

30fps...because switch2...because money.

i expect their onlinestuff to be prime ea lootbox and ai upsell shit. get a yacht for 1 million.

and again a like gta5 and 4...a story so superficial it will intrigue all the 15yr old alphamales and ppl that never grew up.

why dont you just join this milc metaverse stuff? more enshittification without the extra hurdles.

[wordbox@lemmy.world]

It'll be a healthy decision

[ampersandrew@lemmy.world]

It makes a lot of sense to at least ask the question if you should split this game into two parts when each part has a very different pool of customers. I don't think they'll do it, because they want people in the online component to be present for multiplayer in the first place, but it makes sense to ask the question.

If this game is going to have issues running at 60 FPS on the PS5, I don't think 30 FPS is for the benefit of the Switch 2. Even if it was, Switch 2 is a platform that people will want to play GTA on. The tech that Rockstar is trying to push forward comes at the cost of frame rate. That's not making it shittier; it's making different trade-offs.

Some games go to 120fps and are actually realistic.

GTA was never about realism, it just had a huge open world with tons of things to do.

[poke@sh.itjust.works]

It was, I misread the conversation above. I don't know what the situation was with the ps4->ps5 upgrade.

[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.
