The story
In a thread sparked by new GTA6 information, with less than three months to go before release, discussion of the game itself centered almost entirely on graphics and frame rate. Posters voiced frustration over the 30fps performance target and complained that the only real evolution from GTA5 seems to be improved graphics, with some calling for Rockstar to reveal the game’s originality sooner rather than later. The conversation also branched into predictions about overseas sales and Japan’s relatively lukewarm interest in crime-themed games.
What people said
Exactly this. It's not like it's a game I'm dying to rush out and play anyway.
Honestly, I'm not buying a crime-mission game that's basically just copy-pasted from real life anyway.
If there's no surprise in the final product, this could be rough, and it might not really be enjoyable until the PC version with mods comes out.
If they gave the open world Battlefield-level destruction physics, the graphics wouldn't look as impressive — plus debugging that would be a nightmare, so they went with graphics instead.
That's probably how it'll go, which just shows how impressive the new GTA really is.
Every bit of that comparison reeks of Showa-era humor (jokes an older generation would make) — I'm done with it.
It's a twist on the old saying 'a dead Zhuge Liang scares off a living Sima Yi.'
Everyone gets that reference. But thanks anyway, I guess.
they need to reveal GTA6's own 'original gameplay' ASAP.
'Lots of locations, you can drive, you can shoot guns' —
they can't have poured their whole budget into stuff that outdated, right?
So far there's zero originality to speak of…
It's just a prettier GTA5.
It's eating 10x the power and that's basically the only difference?
Really shows how much times have changed.
Best case, maybe a million copies.
Have you never heard of Like a Dragon (Yakuza)?
Today's video reveal was disappointing enough to make me think that — the way you actually play hasn't changed one bit.
It's not like everyone else has evolved so much that they've left GTA in the dust, either.
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
The thread’s discussion proceeded on the premise that the console version of GTA6 will run at 30fps. In recent years, major open-world titles have commonly offered both a ‘graphics priority’ mode capped at 30fps for better visuals and a ’60fps performance priority’ mode, so judging a game’s quality by frame rate numbers alone may be premature. It’s also worth noting, to understand the shape of this thread, that on the Geha (hardware/industry) board, debates over hardware performance flare up constantly, and because fps and resolution are easier to quantify than the actual game content, they tend to become the central topic of discussion.
