Capcom sends season's greetings from DmC: Devil May Cry's Dante

Polygon - Capcom's public relations team sent us a holiday card from none other than Dante himself, the brash protagonist of Ninja Theory's upcoming Devil May Cry reboot, DmC: Devil May Cry.

I'll respond promptly by quoting one of the horribly written cutscenes.

"F*CK YOU!"

crxss4137d ago

and they'll respond back with one of the horribly written cutscenes

"F*CK YOU!"

PopRocks3594137d ago

And I'll respond to THAT with a quote from those horribly written cutscenes.

"F*CK YOU!"

Yeah working 7.62 hours a day, every single day of the month isn't "a few hours".

I would prefer it if they, at least, didn't insult our intelligence by putting zero effort into the logistics of it.

*sigh*

Anyway on the topic of Capcom's 'PC' message: I don't much care for cop outs like "Happy Holidays".

Just say "Merry Christmas", "Happy Hanukkah", ect.

I would never get offended, as a Christian, if somebody wished me a Happy Hanukkah.

Bleh....

We need to bombard Crapcom with original Dante Xmas cards!

Mounce4136d ago

I'm still waiting for this 'Seasons Greetings' from Capcom. I was told in this post that I'd be getting a seasons greetings from Dante...

So....WHERE IS IT, CAPCOM?! WE'RE WAITING!...

prototypeknuckles4138d ago

merry christmas from capcom, Ninja Theory, and DINO

sincerily F**K YOU!!!

PopRocks3594137d ago

It's an acronym for the protagonist of DmC.

DINO

Dante In Name Only.

Lord_Sloth4137d ago

Dino
Donte
Etnad

Sure there are others but these are most most common 3 you'll see.

vork774137d ago

the purple Dino from Flintstones?

Mounce4137d ago

I'm trying to picture Barney the purple dinosaur using dual pistols and shooting in rapid succession while twisting his body in the movement and flow of everything...

It's kinda weird.....

Snookies124138d ago

As stated above, I believe a nice little F- You would be in order Crapcom.

Root4138d ago

It couldn't just be a nice picture of something Xmas like or a collage of all their franchises....it HAD to be the game most of us despise

They are trying too hard

GSpartan7774137d ago (Edited 4137d ago )

In a way, they are succeeding with it as well. Ninja Theory already has the press on their side and have had to do absolutely nothing since they announced this game, because the press has pretty much been fighting all of their battles for them. Little things like this will keep earning them +1 points from journalist and will guarantee this game critical success.

But whatever. Merry Christmas to them. And good luck with DmC.

Root4137d ago (Edited 4137d ago )

I think the press being on their side has got something to do with money.

If it gets amazing scores after the horrible, broken demo which is actualy the final game then sorry but they've been paid off.

Capcom will do anythingn to make sure this game succeeds, they would of done the same to RE6 if they knew it was going to get bad scores.

Capcom Is 'Aware' of Dragon's Dogma 2 Frame Rate Issues on PC

Responding to a query about frame rate problems from IGN, Capcom said in a statement that performance issues on PC may be linked to the heavy amount of CPU demanded from NPCs in the game.

"In Dragon's Dogma 2, a large amount of CPU usage is allocated to each character and dynamically calculates the impact of their physical presence in various environments. In certain situations where numerous characters appear simultaneously, the CPU usage can be very high and may affect the frame rate," a Capcom representative told IGN. "We are aware that in such situations, settings that reduce GPU load may currently have a limited effect; however, we are looking into ways to improve performance in the future."

just_looken29d ago

What a load of bull there blaming the npc load for there poor performance? the new hitman games has way more going on beyond that they are saying any pc cpu is not powerful enough?

In the article it is also stated a ign reviewr got motion sickness playing ps5/pc version but still enjoyed it? like wow if that was me i would knock it down alot and asked for a patch asap.

So those about to play thank denuvo get a barf bucket if your on pc play 720p because like cites skyline its going to be a unoptimized cpu mess.

Man those on series s/steam deck/rog ally rip :(

just_looken28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Just putting up a pcgamer review

"its janky has bugs poor performance need lots of updates 89/100"

Gameing bolt unstable frame rate rate below 30fps but that is great??????

Man have we dropped that quality bar for acceptable performance/optimization

andy8528d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Am I hearing that right, that reviewer with a 4090 is getting drops into the 20s when there's several NPC on screen. Sorry but there's zero excuse for that. BG3 had hundreds at a time on screen and that's a pretty game. What an absolute piss poor engine

just_looken28d ago

@andy

Yes the is correct but every review is giving it a past and or saying that its great that the performance is like the first ps3/xbox one game.

2012 20-30fps 2024 20-30fps dragons dogma keeping things the same reviewers like that apparently

just_looken28d ago

IGN put up a video showing the 4090 struggling aswell as console performance all versions are like the first game with fps issues.Remember dlss 3.0 can almost double your fps like that cyber punk video so without dlss on your looking at 30fps on the most powerful gpu that is out right now.

Cacabunga28d ago

Capcom where is Deep Down???

Tapani28d ago

@andy85 At launch BG3 dropped to under 30fps at the final chapter on 4090. I played the game at launch and had that experience. And that was with a 5800X3D. Everything watercooled and fine-tuned CPU/GPU and memory at 32GB with good timings, and a fast SSD etc.

just_looken28d ago

@tapani

I am sorry are we comparing a AA game with a small budget with alot going on 24/7 to a AAA game funded buy the billion dollar capcom?

You are right yes but that was patched and that team loves there community but if the first dogma said anything we should expect a patch or 2 but that is it.

andy8527d ago

@Tapani indeed but that was hundreds of NPCs. Not a few. It's piss poor

lellkay28d ago

Can they be aware of the need for 60fps on consoles plz

just_looken28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Oh no kidding that "pro" model better have a 60fps mode.

But that ps5 pro PSSR will no doubt be a hold back as i see very few devs make a fsr/dlss/pssr game like really sony why did you spend millions to make upscale tech on the 6800 when amd already has fsr 3.0 just sitting there.

I remember the ps4 pro patches that dwindle over time yes new games had the modes but they were not standard and that was without the base ps4 using another upscale tech.

Edit:

In tldr form devs now make fsr upscale for ps5/xbox PSSR upscale tech on ps5 pro game then dlss/fsr upscale tech pc version and we also have intels xess just insane workload

Eonjay28d ago

'Oh no kidding that "pro" model better have a 60fps mode.'

Perhaps but only if Capcom addresses the issues first. substantially more powerful hardware is struggling.

Furesis28d ago

I mean it's not helping but this is something more than that. Plenty of games with denuvo that work fine

just_looken28d ago

That could be also taxing for sure sense the ps5 also supports that dreadful drm

This is also running off the RE engine remember those re vids with the denuvo drm on/off

MrDead28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Project Zomboid a simple looking isometric game has a similar problem as the Zombies are CPU heavy. If this is the issue GPU tweeks won't do anything, you need less calculations per NPC or more static NPCs

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH28d ago

Well that’s just great…looks like I’ll be holding off on buying this on PC until it’s fixed. If I wanted low frame rates I’d just buy it in console smh…
