EN SHITTI FICATION

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 72 points 1 week ago (10 children)

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

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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 PS5

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, i know, for myself I didn't really get to experience it until 2016 when I built myself a PC with mid range specs and then when I got the ps4 pro in like 2018. I say it's one of those things where once you get to have it, you never wanna go back.

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah. I have a PS5 and I heard gta 6 won't launch on PC right away, but then I heard it is coming to PC lol. So idk. I'm almost hitting 40 and playing on my couch and tv has been more fun lately. But sometimes I just know a game will run much better on my PC.

What I should do is put my current build into a super small box with an external PSU and just install steam os and hook it up to my tv

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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 "oh 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

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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

[–] _sideffect@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 5 points 1 week ago

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

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

Rockstar can get away with this since the vast majority of GTA player will be mainstream casual gamers that only have fifa/madden and CoD in their gaming collection.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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.

Edit: Always expect the downvotes when I say this. The people in gaming subs, almost never understand how games are developed. Just demand without understanding the limitations of hardware and software.

Hey, maybe this time the script kiddies won't be able to sabotage people's SINGLEPLAYER GAMES!

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 week ago

Maybe it'll also actually get sp dlc?

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago (20 children)

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 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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 more DLC.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I only recently started playing again specifically because I found out that all the missions in online mode that required you to be in a public lobby are now able to be ran in a private lobby. Playing in a solo lobby is basically like getting more SP story (there are story missions in GTAO; it's not all races and DM). Don't have to deal with cheaters or asshats.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Does it work on PS3?

I'm tempted to hold out on the FOMO and wait for the inevitable PC release

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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

Good Lord, so much marketing about "next-gen" yet 60 still ain't a guarantee 🤦‍♂️

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).

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (5 children)

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

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.

[–] bokherif@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] k1ck455kc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

That is only if the game released on both consoles simultaneously, the ps4 version of gtav came out years ago, they deserved to charge for the upgrade...

And i am the opposite of a rockstar fanboy.

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

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

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.
