Games Inbox: Does it matter if GTA 6 is only 30fps?

GTA 6 – does the frame rate matter to you? (Rockstar Games) The Wednesday letters page discusses GTA 6 and its frame rate, as a reader feels Zelda: Ocarina Of Time is not the best game of all time. Games Inbox is a collection of our readers’ letters, comments, and opinions. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.uk Frame limitI appreciate that I sound like a first person shooter snob. But since I joined this gen and got a PlayStation 5 in August 2023 I’ve always favoured performance mode over fidelity mode when playing any games. I play all games in 60fps ,as I enjoy how smooth the games play. Now with GTA 6 on the horizon, and only being 30fps, I’m preparing myself by playing Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s never had a 60fps update for the PlayStation 5. Being truthful, it’s took a bit of time to adjust to 30fps but it’s been amazing to play through this game again. Eight years old but the game is still beautiful and the lighting especially is still ahead of its time.Adam_Lion_23 (PSN ID) GTA ‘20Thinking about other open world games that Rockstar could make, that aren’t GTA or Red Dead Redemption, I think there are other options than just sci-fi. I don’t think they’d do any game that wasn’t set in America (even though they’re Scottish!) so in that sense sci-fi is an option, but I could easily see Rockstar wanting to set a game in the early 20th century, especially around Prohibition.

Or maybe something during the Gilded Age, which would be a good way to get in some commentary about modern politics without having to be specific. You could that with sci-fi too, but I just can’t imagine Rockstar doing it. It just doesn’t seem their thing.Booker 24 hoursI’m not going to pretend I’m not jealous but what’s the point of giving anyone a day off to play GTA 6? You’re barely going to get anywhere in it in a day. Most people will probably barely even touch the story mode in that time, so all they’re going to do is come into work the next morning and talk about nothing else. Also, it comes out on a Thursday, so there goes Friday in terms of getting anything done – especially as that’s often a work from home day at a lot of companies. So to summarise: I just said to hell with it and booked both days off months ago, long before the company would’ve realised what it was for. Don’t know what sort of state I’ll be in for the Monday though.Korbie Email your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.uk Open worldsMy copy of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time should arrive today. I hadn’t planned on buying it due to having already recently bought GTA 6, Silver Pines, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, and Order Of The Sinking Star. But nostalgia got me along with the far flung hope that a remake purchase will help materialise the one I wish for above all others, in Wave Race 64. I’m more excited for GTA 6 out of the two though. Zelda: Breath Of The Wild was the last game that really evolved open world games and I’m hoping GTA 6 might set a new standard for them too. But even if it turns out to be like Ocarina Of Time remake, in it being a pretty game built on old school design, I can’t imagine either game still being anything other than top tier enjoyable experiences.Simundo Shockingly forgettableFor some reason I found myself thinking about Bioshock today. It seems forever since that game came out, let alone Bioshock Infinite. When it first came out it seemed so exciting and new, the future of first person shooters, despite coming out the same year as Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Then what did we get? A quickie sequel not by the original team and then a long wait for Infinite which was… okay, but not great. And then nothing. There was going to be a film and then not and despite everyone seeming to know the game and liking it, it’s just kind of been forgotten. There’s been rumours since forever of a fourth game but even if it did come out now, I don’t know how many people would care. I do, in theory, but I bet if they do another one it’ll just be set in Rapture again, which would be such a waste.Paulie GTA updateGTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is definitely patched. I can’t vouch for the Switch version, as I played on Xbox, but it’s almost the game we were promised. And it’s so much better than it was at launch. I played through all three games on my GTA+ subscription I got with my pre-order. I’ll be cancelling it straight away though. It’s a strange set of games that come with it. GTA 4 is missing but 5 is there, but only if you download the online app and switch to story mode. And Red Dead Redemption is on it. And so is the Xbox 360 version. So why no GTA 4? GTA 6 has preloaded on my Xbox at 209.9GB, which surprised me. Not the game file size but the fact the whole game, or most of it, is on there. I know they promised early preloads to combat server overload. But with the recent advancements with AI, and the way games have been leaked, I thought they’d at least wait a bit longer.Alvin RainflowersPS: I loved Zelda: Link’s Awakening’s style. A Link To The Past remake in that would go down a treat in my house. Art attackI didn’t mind the art style for Link’s Awakening but I hope they stop using it. I don’t want A Link To The Past to look like it, there should be a clear difference in art style, as there was with the originals. I feel Echoes Of Wisdom should also have been different, to give it more of an identity of its own. I get that if the art style is already done then they can save a lot of time and money, and I guess overall I’d rather have the games now than have to wait twice as long, but it’s still the most disappointing part of those games for me. I also expect the next mainline game to look completely different to anything else that’s come before.Scrub Don't miss Gaming news!

It only came out last Friday but then again, I’m in no rush to finish it anyway. I’m taking my time, appreciating the graphical enhancements and mostly end up having a good look around everywhere I tread foot. The change in graphics isn’t helping my muscle memory in sections, some places look so different with the added details. Getting the Scarecrow Song working took me more figuring out than it should have, I’ve been stumped more than I should on the Lost Woods and how to navigate it. The sound is excellent, by the way, and I really can’t remember those violins being so menacing in Hyrule Field, but it’s been a long time since last visiting. As Big Boy Bent said about it not being overly easy, I would agree on that to an extent. I’ve had one death, a schoolboy error forgetting that pots around the room contain hearts, and I’m about halfway through the story. I was confident enough to walk in against Volvagia in the fire temple with hardly any life left and came out victorious without breaking a sweat. I hope the rumours are true about the harder difficulty mode and about Majora’s Mask being next for a remake. I never owned that one the N64 and would love for it to be released in this style, like Ocarina Of Time. Ocarina Of Time, still said by many to be the greatest game of all time. After playing this now I do feel like the latest Zelda’s have took its crown, but you have to say it’s still a thoroughly wonderful experience with exceptional pacing and a great story. The dungeons are also superb, what I’ve replayed so far.Nick The Greek Inbox also-ransI’m sat here getting ready to smash up my PS5 Pro, all because I can’t play a game and have gotta wait till midnight on the 19th November. I really am excited about it, 13 years we have waited and now it’s the last week that is hurting me the most.David I must’ve missed the memo but I’ve just found out that the new Perfect Dark got cancelled. That’s really disappointing because the last trailer looked really good. It’s worse because I bet they never bring it back now.Fenro Email your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.uk The small printNew Inbox updates appear every weekday morning, with special Hot Topic Inboxes at the weekend.
