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

A stable 30 fps is perfectly playable for most people, yes
Very rare to see 30fps games on PS5 that don't have a performance option to get to 60.
Especially action games.
Absolutely not. I don’t remember the last time I played a game without 60fps performance option on my PS5

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

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.
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.

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?
My 144 hz monitor has ruined my ability to enjoy normal refresh rates in games. I need a support group for this ffs.
I need a support group for this f~~f~~ps.
Fixed that for ya 👍👍
It just looks dirty like that.
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.

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.)
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?!
Yeah, no one plays GTA for the gameplay mechanics, they play them for the RP or the chaos, or both.
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.
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.
I feel like GTA is definitely more clunky than those two games. Might be because the animation feels wrong for some reason.
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 hope so! I’m interested in buying the single player game, and have absolutely zero interest in the online experience.
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.

I played Oblivion at 8fps, bring it on
Always looking down to get more FPS while walking around towns...
I know that feel bro
Bro if 30 fps is their target, I guarantee Switch 2 is going to get a version of this
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.
It'll be a healthy decision
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.
