How smooth will this game be?

[TrevorFranklinsBitch]

Can this game, being huge that it is, play smooth? will textures load smoothly, render smoothly etc etc. on this generation of consoles, and the huge game V will be, will it be smooth to play?

Like a baby's bottom mate.

[reform]

not really.

[Johan]

I believe it'll be at a nice 30 frames per second

[lazloisdavrock]

if not ill just wait for the PC port. real HD and 60+ Fps

[TrevorFranklinsBitch]

But we're not even sure how long it will be for definite when it will come out for P.C, will the game still struggle on V despite rockstars efforts?

I'll tell you when I rub it all over my body.

[TimeLordDoctor]

This game will be smooth as the US STOCK MARKET

[TrevorFranklinsBitch]

Not alot of confidence of the smoothness of the game, anyhow, aslong as its playable right?

When they did the first previews, GameInformer said that everything was seamlessly smooth and without lag. I've always thought of them as a decent magazine. If a game sucks, they won't candy coat it. Plus R* knows what they're doing, I don't think there's anything to worry about.

Rockstar wouldn't release a game with a poor framerate, specialy GTA, I believe it will be 30FPS on Consoles.

[Chm0]

+60 fps on nitendo 64

[Ermac_]

so? just install the game your console hardrive.

or next gen consoles

Yes, the Stories had absolutely no framerate problems, right?

If it wasn't for that, I'd not be worried.

Game Informer stated in a Q&A on their site shortly after they saw the demo on PS3 that the game ran very well. "Perfectly fine" was the exact quote.

How are we to know?

 

And V is a big release, R* won't botch it up. I wish everyone would stop asking questions like "Will GTAV suffer framerate problems" and "Will GTAV suffer from so and so".

[PowerKracker]

I hope those previews are not bluffing.

Just make it better than IV. I can expect it, with R* being more experienced with the hardware these days.

[Revolution-XW]

I bieve it will be decent-smooth because were talking abour R* games here.

It will run smooth at 30 fps. GameInformer even said when they watched the demo, it ran fine and there was no lag at all, and that is just the beta version as you know.

[progaimz]

Check out the GTA IV trailers then compare them to the GTA V trailers. You can clearly see FPS drops in the GTA IV ones. So I'm guessing pretty f*ckin' smooth. Nice 30.

[M4RK]

All GTAs had a slightly choppy frame rate but still playable soooo im going to assume it will be the same thing with GTA5

[Hotband]

They wouldn't release it if it didn't run smoothly, it's common sense.

[creed200569]

In the GI demo video, they said they were blown away by how good it went

[YoungChrist]

+60 fps on nitendo 64

nice

[I<3GTAV]

Smoother than the 1970s.

smooth.. duh??

A smooth 25 or 30 FPS. If they still purposefully target being filmic (as is the case so far in the series), that'll be the case. In all truth, the filmic stuff is on one side of it an awesome part of GTA, but on the other, it is also a way to deal with limitations as doing 30FPS gives them 2x as much time to draw each frame than 60fps target games have. This allows them to make a game that "can't run 60fps, but is incredibly advanced, feature complete, and large", instead of a game that runs 60fps. Because it conveniently targets film-like FPS, Rockstar has double the processing power that call of duty has (since it famously targets a strict minimum of 60fps), resulting in the big worlds and huge amount of things happening at once/being tracked at once/going on a once and stuff

 

So I think it will be 30 or 25fps again, it will be intentional, and it will be the best looking GTA yet, the only thing left for me is going to be judging the actual way it plays, and other than that, i am just looking forward to it and the info coming up and until its release =)

 

This is also something you can smack fanboys of other games with every time a game on the same hardware is touted as running better or being 60fps "unlike gta crappy 30fps" you can say "Uh, it's intentional, and on the same hardware still slows down compared to that game - that doesn't mean the game you fanboy over is any better developed, it just means it's doing less than half of what gta does"

 

And that's basically a fact as well that you can use: There is no game out yet that does even half of what GTA IV does on both a full-package/full spectrum of the package level view and in terms of how much is being done in each frame that gets drawn - GTA V is going to be hard to match by anyone, since really, no one has come even close to matching gta iv. Saints Row may have a big city, but it's all crappy normal-map damage and canned animation and nothing is really simulated that matters, not even a real time daycycle... Whereas GTA is focused very strongly on everything that is possible being realtime. While BF3 or even BF4 may do some slick and expensive post effects on top of a small (compared to gta) set of art pieces on cheap terrain system, GTA IV and now GTA V are games that don't rely on terrain systems, have euphoria, real time day/night, cinematic-quality rigging and car physics, cinematic quality real-time pedestrians, it's amazing, this series is uncontested the most advanced and truthfully pushing the hardware to its limits, this is the big daddy of gaming, nothing else is close. Even MMO games rely on terrain, small set of generic models, and very canned and optimized events and animations, even if characters do tend to be even more customizable than CJ (in some cases, CJ is way more customizable than many MMO games as well)

 

GTA needing to go 30 fps in other words, means it's doing well over 2x what other games do, and not only have rockstar made a game that goes above and beyond what most people put into each given frame of their games, they also embraced it and made an entire style of their own which takes after film in many other ways. Brilliant. You can poop on people who bash GTA, because they don't realize all they are doing is saying how "rinky dinky" the other stuff is in comparison

 

So the big boy moves slower - he's still the big boy!

 

Thought it was a great opportunity in this topic subject matter to arm the rest of my fellow rabid rockstar fans against all the uncalled for hatred this game is going to get by people who think 60 fps means anything more than "less than half of what 30 fps games are doing" once it comes out as they will be trying to rain on us enjoying it, like BF3 people can't accept that CoD players got it better from their devs as well.
