I do prefer 720p/60, 900p/60, 1080/60. Sometimes I think developers sacrifice 30fps in order to achieve 1080p, thats a shame, but if they don't do so, the outrage would be bigger.


And gamers can blame themselves for this.

Meh, I'd rather have 60fps tbh.


You'll get nothing and like it.

 

OT: 30 FPS is fine by me.

;-( *Gooch is so mean*

I only think PC gamers feel that way because they mostly play on monitors right in front of you, which range from 20 to 27" for PC gamers right?

Can't really compare that with playing on my 44" inch Sony TV, where 720p or 1080p are more noticable because of the larger screens.

For someone sitting 3 meters away from their big screen, i think its more noticable when the resolution is lower.

900p/60 is actualy more demanding then 1080p/30

Personally, 30fps is fine, GTA isn't an FPS twitch shooter along the lines of Quake or Unreal Tournament, plus there is tons of auto-aim anyway, to help hold your hands.

However, the big take away...

PC iteration will support 4K resolution.

4K resolution.

4K.

Read it and weep!

Depends.
PC Gamers tend to sit inches away from their monitors, whilst console gamers typically sit meters away, so it's not going to be the same for everyone.

I know, but still easier than 1080p/60fps, sometimes they can't achieve full 60fps with 1080p, so they downgrade it to 900p, instead of sticking with 1080p and loosing fps. It have been couple of times with the box.

No, they really cant. The ones who started this were company marketing departments. Its rather worse to see some people say "30fps, i dont see a difference" nowadays.

Hmm that's sad to hear, maybe they do dissapoint some people. But in my eyes they seem to strive for some of the best quality games out there. RDR, LA Noire, MP3, GTA V ... just to name the most recent. 

I can still recall the moment when I realized that something was wrong with GTA V: the moment that I got a 'mission passed' screen from simply purchasing a mask. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. That's when I realized much of the game is little more than glorified button prompts. Missions that told me where to drive to on a map so that I could listen to the guy riding shotgun yammer story in my ear. After that I'd sit and watch a cutscene and then wait for a guy to tell me when to fire my sniper rifle while he continued to yammer story in my ear. The whole torture sequence in one of the missions, that had scant gameplay in it. It was just button prompts, what challenge exists there? Little to none. The torture sequence was put there for the sake of getting some controversy and controversy helps sell a game. Considering the lengths Rockstar will go to sell their game (benches, billboards, sides of buses, faces of buildings), I wouldn't doubt it. It was marketing, not good game design philosophy that decided on that mission.

GTA 5 is great from a technical level and this upgrade to 1080p will surely impress many but from a game design perspective, it's still horribly uninspired. I need to go play San Andreas again to see if perhaps this is just me growing jaded or if indeed GTA is becoming just a means to an end: Rockstar's bank account.

Yeah, I'm not a fan either.

To be honest, GTA has never really impressed me, it's always struck me as more of a glorified "run over civilians and murder prostitutes" simulator than any kind of well constructed gameplay experience, but what little I've played of GTA5 slid under the already low bar I had for it, presenting me with some of the most unlikeable, unrelatable, despicable protagonists I've ever had the displeasure of playing as.

Missions were boring, and goofing around was mildly distracting for about 15 minutes before losing all appeal.

I can definitely understand what you mean. Maybe I'm just too big of a fan 😊. I spent like 1200 hours on the game between sept 2013 and sept 2014. After that I bought an Xbox One and it kind of stopt.

Hey, if it's fun for you, more power to ya, look at it this way; that's one more game you can enjoy that I can't, haha.

Different strokes for different folks.

Going from 1080p to 720p only boosts fps about 50%, so going from 30 fps locked to a stable 60 fps would probably require them to go to sub 720p.
