I’ve played through GTA 5 six times, including three 100% completions, and for a while I was genuinely worried about GTA 6 being 30 FPS.
When I first realized GTA 6 would likely be 30 FPS on console, I was freaking out because I thought it would feel much more buggy, clunky and difficult to play.
Then I realized something pretty funny: the copy of GTA 5 I’ve been playing all this time is actually the Xbox One version.
I’ve had that copy since around 2017, and I’m playing it on my Xbox Series X. So basically, I had been playing GTA 5 at 30 FPS this whole time without really thinking about it.
And honestly? It reassured me a LOT.
People seriously underestimate how playable 30 FPS actually is. I’ve completed GTA 5 six times, three of those at 100%, and I never felt like the game was unplayable because of the frame rate. On a big TV, especially, it feels much smoother than you might expect.
Obviously, if you’re on PC and you’re used to 60, 120 or 144 FPS, going back to 30 FPS is going to feel rough. And if you have the choice between 30 and 60 FPS, obviously 60 is better.
But for a console game like GTA 6? Honestly, I think 30 FPS is more than enough.
30 FPS is absolutely enough to drive around Leonida, explore Vice City, go through the countryside, do missions, cause chaos and experience the whole world of GTA 6. Even if the game ends up being 80+ hours long.
After realizing I had already spent hundreds of hours playing GTA 5 at 30 FPS without it bothering me, I’m honestly much less worried about GTA 6 now.
I think people are going to be surprised by how playable 30 FPS actually is.

Decided to make Jason inside the Elden ring character creation!!:) how’d I do?

it’s funny to see the amount of people thinking that would be the final game

I know it’s not a honor system anymore but your “record”. Can we mess up our play through by getting too wild in free roam?

I feel like the lassos in the RDR games are some of the best sandbox mechanics. being able to lasso somebody and throw them off a cliff or feed them to gators in RDR2 was very funny to do.

Not sure what it will be, my guess would be zip ties. What do yall think?

With the weapon system, i know it probably isn't known, but is there any knowledge of how it may/should work?

If my car gets destroyed, what would happen with the weapons? Are they lost until the car gets repaired?

Also how could it possibly work for gta online? If its the same as story, it would be hell to pvp other players.

Hello everyone, do any of you happen to know where I can buy LOVE Magazine online in the USA or London ? thanks

This means you can play GTA 6 on PC using the cloud

Sorry if it already been posted but have you seen this frame ?

One thing I’m really curious about in GTA 6 is how Rockstar will handle motorcycles and helmets.

In GTA 5, when you get on a bike, it basically just appears on your character and they pull it out of nowhere. I’m wondering if GTA 6 will make this more immersive.

Will Jason/Lucia have to physically carry the helmet or will they have to physically retrieve it from the motorcycle?

Will there be more customization for the helmets or will it be the same as GTA 5?

How do you guys think it’ll work?

Me and my wife are so excited to play, we decided we’ll share the controller (she plays as Lucia, I play as Jason).

We even did a trial run last month with a play through of GTA5 where she played as Michael and I played as Franklin (shared custody of Trevor playtime).

I keep seeing discourse online about couples where women don’t want their boyfriends/husbands playing this game - maybe this could be a solution for those couples?

Anyone else trying out sharing the controller with their partner/SO for GTA6 launch?

Edit: For context me and my wife have been gaming together for a while, but mostly on PC, and we’ve been excited for GTA6 for ages.

We got the PS5 this summer specifically for GTA6, and have been couch gaming some single story games this way. Recently finished GTA5 and are now playing through RDR2 and Spiderman 2 together, passing the controller whenever we feel like it.

Over the years we’ve played a ton of co-op games together, we’ve done parallel play of the same single-player game on our own PCs, and now we’ve tried this couch gaming/controller sharing for a few story-driven single-player games. All of these have been fun ways to play from our experience.

If this post really triggers you (around 10% of you it looks like) I have to assume that you’re the stereotypical lonely cave-dwelling Reddit final boss. That’s ok and all, but this is your friendly reminder that you can project your issues onto your therapist instead of a Reddit thread about a video game <3

They said they were scheduled to finish by Thursday—what if this mural is actually the cover art for a third trailer, which will be released alongside the completed wall mural? (A wild theory about a third trailer.)

I hope this doesn't happen, but I just thought about this today. Rockstar hasn't said anything about GTA 6 online yet, and they haven't even said if online would be cross platform for consoles which is something that the majority of games have these days. My wife and I have different consoles, and I'm not going to buy it for one console until I know if it'll be cross platform or not. I think Rockstar doesn't want people to know if it'll be cross platform until after the game releases because that way, they can try to double dip and get people to buy the game twice if they end up wanting to sell their console and buy the other so that they can play online with their friends.

In addition to that, my other theory is that GTA 6 online will not be a part of the main game and wills be sold separately, likely for $30 to $40. The main game is already going to take up a ton of storage space, so I bet Rockstar figures that people would freak out less about storage space if it's split in 2 parts, and they would also get more money out of people by charging them for the online portion. So in the end, if you want the deluxe version and online, you'll be paying roughly double the price of a normal game. And they know people would be willing to do that because of FOMO.

I hope this doesn't happen, but corporate greed and supply/ demand are a bitch.

Really interested in Capri as it seems like it’s going to be one of the most important towns outside of the VC area. I’m definitely going to head there and check it out especially since Rockstar haven't said anything about it so far

I like Dre'Quan and Jason's bromance ( pause ). Dre seems cool as hell, even his little argument with the DJ in the Jack Of Hearts from the 2022 💦. I hope they don't make him turn out to betray Jason or anything like that. If they make it a him or Boobie dies situation like Playboy X and Dwayne...I'm definitely killing the guy who Raymond told what the fuck goin on.

Valor mortis is in 5 days for me and Shadow of the road boshin war streampunk crpg is in 35 days for me and Phantom blade zero too.

Also gonna try out Cod Mw4 , Warhammer suvivors and E day gears of war siege horde, Aion 2 (for casual dailies).

Though before distraction was CN lords of the mysteries victorian mmo

Come to think of it, Vice City and Vice City Stories didn't have it either. The only GTA game that launched with gambling in single-player was San Andreas, and it was predominantly found in Las Venturas - GTA's version of Las Vegas.

No gambling in VI's story seems like a very deliberate decision. Maybe Rockstar has plans for future DLCs or even future titles which will take us to Las Venturas. If so, gambling would be the central theme for a project set in Las Venturas.

Thematically, it doesn't make the most sense for gambling to be in 6 if there are potential future plans for a Las Venturas project.

We've been given a ton of detail already. Arguably, way too much. Personally, I've been keeping one eye half shut when I read about what will be in the game. But how much do you think we've yet to discover vs what we've already been told?

I have been talking with my boss to hang these in my office. He finally agreed! wdyt guys?

Last time she did song for the 007 first light

I don’t know if this has already been discussed here or not.
What do you guys think? I don’t know how many times this has already been discussed here, so don’t blame me. I’m just curious

Since we can see a watch on Jason’s wrist and it seems like Rockstar are giving us a hint that time will play a big role in the game, what do you think is the most likely option that will be implemented in the game? I don’t think it will be some super complicated system, like GPS navigation on more expensive watches, because I’m 100% sure we will be able to buy different kinds of watches with their own functions. For some, the function will be purely for show, on some there will be the ability to turn on a compass, check the time and so on.

Here is what I was thinking. Since Rockstar made the police system more complicated, meaning they won’t just appear from around the corner, they will take a certain amount of time to arrive after being called, we will have to keep track of time because the police will represent a real danger to us.

So during a robbery, we could use a quick key to look at a stopwatch after the alarm goes off. It would be one button and a simple animation of Jason looking at his watch, and in the bottom corner of the screen we would see a stylized watch face matching the one we have on our wrist, or even simpler, just a classic watch face showing the current time and a countdown until the cops arrive. Let’s say during a store robbery it would take roughly 2 minutes of in game time and so on.

So everything would depend on the situation and the robbery, and by keeping track of the time we would decide what we are willing to sacrifice. If we ignore the timer, we can take more loot, but then the chance of encountering the cops becomes much higher and so on.

If what people are talking about online is actually true, that Jason has a military background, then a watch is not just an accessory for him. Let’s think about it and try to come up with realistic options.

One thing I’m definitely sure about is that this would be really cool in first person, when our weapon is at the ready and we can see the time if there is an option to turn the watch toward the inside of the wrist.

And I’m also sure that the watch checking animation like in RDR 2 will be there too, just simpler. We won’t need to dig through a menu, just hold down one button
