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

    source
    • HeyJoe@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

        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 PS4 pro

        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 “on 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.

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

      source
    • slaacaa@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

      source
      • thermal_shock@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

      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.

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

      source
    • Blackmist@feddit.uk ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

      Especially action games.

      source
    • NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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. Stop whining.

      source
      • _sideffect@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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.

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

      source
    • MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

      source
    • OmegaLemmy@discuss.online ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      No, 40 and 50 look good enough though, idk why people like 30 as a standard

      source
      • ampersandrew@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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.

      Maybe it’ll also actually get sp dlc?

  • Fredselfish@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Only way I buy this:

    1. It is priced at 60 to 70 dollars (fuck that still hurts)
    2. It has a solid OFFLINE story mode.

    If they try pull 100 dollar bullshit or fill it with micro transactions then I am out. Also I will not pre order this game (I didn’t with 5) I will wait until its out and I hear good things from the players.

    Just like I did with 5. Had coworker who was bragging about the game every day. Finally and picked up a copy at Vintage Stock. This is the original PS3 version only one I have.

    • MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Point 2 is the biggest for me. I haven’t played more than 30 minutes of gta5 online. Single player story is where it’s at. Wish we got m oh re DLC.

      source
      • Fredselfish@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Same only tried it once was no fun. Yes they game was built to have multiple DLCs or hell lot more story could of been told.

      Genuine question, why is $100 too much for a quality game? Completely agreed on the micro transactions though

      source
      • accideath@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Exactly. $100 is a lot of money, however games are cheaper than ever these days (adjusted for inflation) and $100 for no micro transactions sounds fair.

        On the other hand, I wouldn’t buy it at that price either. I‘d wait for a sale…

      • nyctre@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        If the biggest game of the decade charges $100, every triple A game will charge the same, and other games will probably be more expensive as well, and in most cases it’ll be more money for the same steadily decreasing quality, at least in the triple A market.

        The only full price game I recall ever buying was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (back when £35 was the standard "full price" price point). Now that one was worth it, but no other AAA game that I can think of has justified the cost to me. Once we're talking about that amount of money there's a lot of other things I would get more enjoyment from.

        I think I paid about £10 for GTA V. I'd maybe go to £15 or £20 these days, but beyond that I simply have other things I could play.

      I think it will be 80 dollars, with bigger editions available, eg. including online mode. For me, the 30fps is the most annoying, I was never a performance fanatic, but I’m used to 60 now.

      source
      • Fredselfish@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        What why they lower it? That make no sense with the new hardware of PS5 and Xbox Sx or whatever it’s called.

        source
  • bokherif@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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).

    source
    • SolidShake@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

      source
      • bokherif@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Like a simple switch to allow 60FPS on an already capable hardware?

      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.

      source
      • bokherif@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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.

    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.

    source
    • qwerty@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

  • kemsat@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

    source
  • Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

        I played GTA IV mostly because the mechanics were fucking awesome. The driving was incredible for an open world game like that. Euphoria was dope.

        The first seconds of the GTA V gameplay trailers hinted that they neutered the driving. Then they announced the driving was ported from a Midnight Club game and that was the last nail in the coffin for me.

        Tried the game once at a friend’s house and the gameplay feel was so shit I never played it again. I knew I’d always be distracted by it.

      • trslim@pawb.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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.

    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.
