GTA 6 fans are already arguing over framerates

In recent console generations, it’s often been a hot topic of discussion of which is better, snazzy graphics or a smooth framerate? Personally, I favour the latter, but there might be the odd exception to that rule from time to time.For example, if I’m playing a racer such asForza Motorsportor an intense action game in which timing and precision are of the utmost importance, such asElden Ring, then a stable 60fps will always be my preference. However, if I’m playing a cinematic experience such asThe Quarry, then lush visuals at 30fps maybe my choice.Check out our GTA VI news round-up video below!Despite beingannounced back in February 2022, we’re still none the wiser on official details related toGrand Theft Auto VI. We don’t know where it will take place, what era it will be set or when theGTA VIrelease date might arrive. Heck, nearly two years have passed since its announcement and we’ve not even seen a gameplay trailer, yet.AdvertRegardless of all the above, that has stopped fans from having conversations about what they’d like to see inGTA VI. One such conversation took place on Reddit recently with fans arguing over graphics and framerate.“What do you guys think the fps thatGTA VIwill be able to achieve?GTA Vlaunched at 30fps and the same can be said aboutRDR2. However, games are changing these days with most of them having a 60fps performance mode. Do you think Rockstar will focus on the graphics and fidelity or balance it with the performance?”askedRedditor Wise_Letterhead777.They continued: “Starfieldwas a recent game to belocked at 30fpsand people were really angry/disappointed. So how would you react if Rockstar decided to do the same? Personally, I would be disappointed but I would buy the game regardless. Curious to hear your thoughts.”Advert“Seems like fidelity mode (30fps) and performance mode (60fps) are the industry standard right now. I would be p****d if the game was only playable in 30fps,” exclaimed InevitableBet2823.“Performance Mode - Upscaled 1440p/60fps with no extra graphical features like ray tracing. Fidelity - All out graphics in 30fps,” suggested welshman222 and to be fair, that seems a very likely scenario.“If it’s 30fps I’ll be let down considering we’ve moved into a 60fps territory and this game should be THE game well past that territory,” said ClydeinLimbo. “It would be extremely odd if they made it 30fps and not 60fps.”“Anything short of 4K/60fps performance mode will be disappointing, to be honest,” replied martyc81. “Rockstar prides themselves on pushing hardware, the fact thatRDR2runs as well as it does on PS4 is a testament to that.”Obviously, until Rockstar Games releases an update on the development progress ofGTA VI, we can only speculate at this time. That being said, Rockstar-parent company Take-Two Interactive has previously suggested thatGTA VImight have arelease date between 2024 to 2025, so hopefully, we might have new details in the coming months.AdvertGrand Theft Auto VIis expected to be released on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.Featured Image Credit: Rockstar GamesTopics:Grand Theft Auto,GTA 6,Rockstar Games
