Grand Theft Auto IV will be running smoothly

Grand Theft Auto IV may be running at a nice, constant speed of 30 Frames Per Second, according to N4G.com. This means that Grand Theft Auto IV will run rather smoothly on any console connected to a High Definition Television, as opposed to the Grand Theft Auto IV builds last year with had jumpy frame rates.

“A 1UP Yours on Leap Day is like a free show, or something. The regular four discuss GTA IV and confirms that the game will run at a solid 30FPS on both the Xbox 360 and PS3. According to them, both version of the game look identical however, the PS3 version is a little behind in development but as it stands now, it will be launching along side the Xbox 360 version. Also Some information Lost Odyssey’s annoying save system, Frontlines, God of War: Chains of Olympus, and many more.”

According to the latest 1UP Yours podcast, Grand Theft Auto IV will run at a constant 30 Frames Per Second on both the PS3 and the Xbox 360. While this means we won’t see the smooth motion we saw in games like Call of Duty 4 and Burnout Paradise, it’s still a very good achievement considering how much will be happening on screen at any given time.

The 1UP team also said that while the PS3 version is slightly behind the Xbox 360 version in development, it is still on schedule to be released on the same day, which is good to hear. However, it is not known whether the 30 Frames Per Second will happen during normal play or in scenes with lots of NPCs, vehicles etc.
