A deal between Nintendo and Capcom which would see handheld Monster Hunter games coming exclusively to the 3DS for the next three years has appeared.
Dragon's Dogma 2 continues Capcom's hot streak of favorably reviewed games as the studio lands first on Metacritic's top publishers ranking.
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."
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 :(
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
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…
Capcom Boosts Starting Salaries in Japan by Over 25%! Strategic move to attract top talent and align with industry trends amid economic inflation.
Well there is a lot of laid off talent out there. Very smart of them to target that. Plus if it’s in Japan, that’s a great place to live.
I really approve of Capcom for doing this and will show my appreciation by supporting them. There are a few Capcom games I need to get... and this includes Dragon's Dogma 2. Support companies that support the people working in the industry over shareholders! REMEMBER: Shareholder's don't make games!
25% sounds like a lot, but it's from $1,560 to $2000 per month. That's $24,000 a year. Unless u became a monk, that is below poverty line.
Man, I have a 3DS, but Monster Hunter 4 should have been for Vita... Seriously, the game could have looked and I'm sure played much better with two analogs. Not to mention MH on PSP was the go-to thing for people especially in Japan. A lot of those people probably got a Vita in hopes of the next one on there.
Oh well though, not like I'd give Crapcom any of my money for ANY game anyway. Just putting in my two cents, which is my opinion of course. Nothing less, nothing more.
I definitely would have tried the game out had it come out on the Vita in a reasonable time. Just another reason for me to not play my Playstation Vita... again...
I don't understand to be honest, I mean I understand from a business point since the 3DS is outselling the PSV but with the PSV they could do more with the franchise
If it was exclusive to the 3DS, why would it come to the Wii U? Unless he means, it's exclusive to Nintendo for 3 years. So, would 4 be the last game to be exclusive to the 3DS or does it start with 4?
Also, I thought Nintendo doesn't pay for exclusives.
Wait, what's the difference between exclusivity for "handheld Monster Hunter games" and "all handheld Monster Hunter games"? Both are pretty inclusive.
