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

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 PS5
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.

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

Very rare to see 30fps games on PS5 that don't have a performance option to get to 60.
Especially action games.
Most don't, the people who say they don't realize it probably also say that "there's no difference between 1080p and 4k!"

Not me. I think it's insane to ship a PS5 game that performs that poorly even on non-"pro" consoles
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.
From what i have seen, 60fps is acceptable for High Settings, 30fps is acceptable when Ray tracing is turned on

Hey, maybe this time the script kiddies won't be able to sabotage people's SINGLEPLAYER GAMES!
Maybe it'll also actually get sp dlc?
Only way I buy this:
- It is priced at 60 to 70 dollars (fuck that still hurts)
- 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.
- PC release
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.
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.
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.
Does it work on PS3?
I'm tempted to hold out on the FOMO and wait for the inevitable PC release

Good Lord, so much marketing about "next-gen" yet 60 still ain't a guarantee 🤦♂️
30 fps wouldn't be bad if its consistent and stable, have you ever played on a low end PC at 15-22 fps?
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.

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).
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.
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.

Bro if 30 fps is their target, I guarantee Switch 2 is going to get a version of this
My 144 hz monitor has ruined my ability to enjoy normal refresh rates in games. I need a support group for this ffs.
If they intend to charge for GTA VI online, I will never play it
It'll be a healthy decision
I already never intend to play it. I only care about single player. Hopefully this means the game is cheaper.
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.

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

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.
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.)

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