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

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)

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!

[wrekone@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

It just looks dirty like that.

[klear@lemmy.world]

Always looking down to get more FPS while walking around towns...

[ampersandrew@lemmy.world]

I think yes, people will stop buying video games (at that price). There are very few games that carry the demand that GTA does, and customers have shown with the likes of Suicide Squad that they won't just buy anything that marketing tells them to. Meanwhile, customers are very aware of the options available to them for free.

[trslim@pawb.social]

I feel like im the only person in the world who isnt excited for this game. I dont care for GTA, they just feel super clunky and sloppy to play. (I know, no one asked.)

[stephen01king@lemmy.zip]

Yeah, no one plays GTA for the gameplay mechanics, they play them for the RP or the chaos, or both.

[stephen01king@lemmy.zip]

If there's is a reason for making it that way, it's not really dumb.
