“Grand Theft Auto 5 now features ray-tracing on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S“

At 30fps. No thanks!

[Number1TailzFan]

And it's just RT reflections, that's it. KEKW

[z2g]

It already supports raytraced shadows as well….

[GamerRN]

Does it still have Performance RT mode?

[SurgicalMenace]

So is fps the new way for individuals to be pretentious? "It's 30 fps?!?! That's beneath me." Even though there have been plenty of games greater than most of these 60/120 fps games that barely moved above 20.

[Eidolon]

Name a few...

[Eidolon]

Sustained 20ish FPS and critically acclaimed might be a bit hyperbolic. Dipping to 20s, sure.

[Muigi]

It’s 2023 yes…

[VanDamme]

There’s many qualities to games as well as the user experience. Some people aren’t cool (anymore) with the stuttering effect 30fps feels like after playing 60-120fps.

I’ll take lower resolution before 30fps in most games. But I’m glad FRS and DLSS are around to help with that.

User experience is an aspect with anything a person has to interface with. Everyone has different thresholds. Maybe you’re OK with 30fps… someone might be OK with a high pitch squelching sound constantly in the background of an audio book, and you may not be… would you want them to chastise you for that?

[SurgicalMenace]

Chastised? I'm not even an element of authority.🤣🤣 Society is far too sensitive to be real now.

[dumahim]

New? Have you heard of PC Master race?

[moomoo319]

God of war 2018 was the last game that floored me at 30 fps. Its just not acceptable anymore.

[Noskypeno]

I know higher frames is ideal, but I member when competitive shooters had 30 fps and somehow had less stutter than these 60fps games, the frames are only as good as the code allows it to. But yeah it's like those athletes that think they need food stamps because they only got a 30 million a year contract and not the 50 million a year contract they feel entitled to.

[CobraKai]

Yes please. I’m old school. Been playing 30 fps for decades.

[SullysCigar]

I'll just wait for the PSVR2 patch I'm hoping is on its way.

[z2g]

What does that have to do with ray tracing?

[SullysCigar]

Where exactly did I say it has to do with Ray tracing?

This article is about the latest GTAV patch, I will be waiting for a VR patch.

[XxINFERNUSxX]

30fps with RT LMAO 🤣🤣 net gen. huh? 😆

[SeTTriP]

Yep that goes for about 85% to 90% of PC gamers too.

Rt is just to expensive, keep screen space fof consoles

[wiz7191]

30fps with a open world and so much going on in the background at 4K .. you want consoles to do what most PCs are struggling to do ,

[yeahokwhatever]

if RT still has me over 160fps, ill use it. otherwise it stays off. (which means it basically stays off)

[Good-Smurf]

Won't be install it again I ain't put up with another 100 GB+ game and over half of those space went bloaty GTA Online I don't give a crap about.
RT reflections won't bring me back to it.

[Profchaos]

All this effort to continue polishing GTA v but we still can't get a rdr or IV remake

[ClayRules2012]

Right! I would be so over the moon for a GTAIV remake on the new hardware of consoles and PC. Even a RDR one would be awesome. Instead 5 gets touched up again and again, it’s bonkers. And I love/loved it on release and again on PS4, but that’s it. No more!

[Good-Smurf]

Yeah they should at least fix and remaster GTA IV the PC version was a mess.

[hennessey86]

Ray tracing is far too expensive, either a newer more forgiving method needs to be developed or it needs to dropped until the next gen of consoles.

[Profchaos]

Just offer two modes with and without.
Insomniac had a excellent implementation in ratchet and Clank and Spiderman miles Morales which let they player choose a 1080p res with ray tracing and 60 fps.

Or if the game can hit 40 with full ray tracing allow for a vrr mode which will boost it to a higher frame rate again.

Some games like the Callisto protocol are built around atmosphere and without ray tracing you lose a ton of atmosphere

[AbhishekGIS]

Nice now R* can milk it for 2 more years instead of releasing gta5. Hurrayyy!!

[VanDamme]

Yep. But it’s really the people that keep it going… people absolutely love this cash cow enough for it to persist with minimal tweaks/updates/porting over all these years. Honestly, from a corporate standpoint, they’d be silly not to take advantage of it.

Now if people stopped giving them money for it… on to the next game! :-)

Throw a thumbs down if you’re excited with rockstar milking this game some more! I know I will, if it lets me (it doesn’t)
