Good Lord, so much marketing about "next-gen" yet 60 still ain't a guarantee ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

[โ€“] admin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago (4 children)

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

[โ€“] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Lol, same, I've played some games at such abysmal resolution it became a testament of how good the art direction was, making it possible to recognize things amidst that jumble of pixels.

Funny how we grow accustomed with what we have. I was hyper-aware of my disk usage when I had a tiny HDD, nowadays I'm like "Why am I low on storage???", then I go check and find 200GB of junk I no longer need on my downloads folder. Whoops.

[โ€“] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Yeah I have, for a looong while. I understand a stable framerate is much better than a "high" one, but like, were not talking about a "Low-end" PC here, we're talking about the current, still marketed generation here.

How come 30's still the target when all the marketing is talking about how powerful it is and how amazing the upscaling is? And it's a fixed target on top of all that, like common man

My 144 hz monitor has ruined my ability to enjoy normal refresh rates in games. I need a support group for this ffs.

[โ€“] 0ops@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I need a support group for this f~~f~~ps.

Fixed that for ya ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] wrekone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

It just looks dirty like that.

[โ€“] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days 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 and when it does, will have more features and run at a higher frame rate.

30 fps

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

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)

[โ€“] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago

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

[โ€“] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 1 points 5 days ago

Thanks, fixed it!

[โ€“] kemsat@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

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

[โ€“] trslim@pawb.social 6 points 5 days ago (3 children)

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.)

[โ€“] arun@ani.social 2 points 4 days ago

You're not the only one, friend. The only thing I care about is what sort of pricing hijinks they get up to, which could have industry-wide consequences.

Spend 10 minutes trying to negotiate a doorway or ladder, and you call this clunky?!

[โ€“] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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

[โ€“] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

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.

[โ€“] trslim@pawb.social 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Like, I play clunky games like Arma 3 and DS2, but neither bother me to the amount GTA does. Maybe I just dont like the core gameplay or somethin.

[โ€“] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

I feel like GTA is definitely more clunky than those two games. Might be because the animation feels wrong for some reason.

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

[โ€“] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I played Oblivion at 8fps, bring it on

[โ€“] Klear@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

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

[โ€“] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I know that feel bro

[โ€“] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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

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

[โ€“] WordBox@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

It'll be a healthy decision

[โ€“] k1ck455kc@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

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