I like how the intro says, "This crossover project between two of the interactive entertainment industry's most respected publishers will see..." despite I only see ONE well respected publisher and that is VALVE. To me Capcom isn't a well respected publisher anymore, it's a stubborn company that has done more harm and than good during this current generation console and probably during next gen as well.

I guess people enjoy cancelled games, dlc, lies and 10 variations of thesame game. Still, this project is cool and shows Capcom is interested in PC. Now, let's hope they learn something from Valve during the process.

I hardly consider valve a game company. They produce games slower than blizzard... There good games but not that damn good. Portal 2 was a cool playthrough, but theres no replay value in it. What was before portal 2? Halflife from 15 years ago? So we got one company who shits games out like they got em on backlog somewhere and than another that makes a decent game every decade...

?
Dota 2, team fortress 2 and the left 4 dead games are awesome.

honkayjeezus4072d ago

When you expect little, you get little.

ThanatosDMC4072d ago

Is it gonna be like Street Fighter X Tekken in which all the characters all ready on the disk are going to be paid dlcs or exclusive dlcs?

It's free so it's good, whether you like the games or not.

camel_toad4073d ago

Agreed and while I doubt it would actually happen, being Nemesis or licker or several other resident evil baddies as a left 4 dead infected could be great. I'm always excited when new infected are introduced.

Andreex4072d ago

Dude, nemesis would ABSOLUTELY destroy every cell in a Tank's body

Rivitur4072d ago

I'll stick with my Donkey Kong tank, Velocoraptors, and minecraft common infected which from time to time I'll switch to little adorable cats.

Grap4073d ago

NOOOO i don't want anything RE6 related to my L4D2 copy.

Kran4073d ago (Edited 4073d ago )

What it sounds like from you: "NOOOO i don't want to catch a virus from an unhealthy person to my healthy body"

What I would say: "Yay. Free content; whether I like it or not. Free is free."

@EbenezerGoode

I suppose thats true. When given a free sample, half the time it's crap food xD

EbeneezerGoode4073d ago

actually "free" is often thinly veiled advertising and unwelcome.

LightSamus4073d ago

Don't download it then, simple.

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_looken49d 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 :(

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

andy8549d ago (Edited 49d 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_looken49d 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_looken49d 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.

Cacabunga49d ago

Capcom where is Deep Down???

Tapani49d 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_looken49d 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.

andy8548d ago

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

lellkay49d ago

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

just_looken49d ago (Edited 49d 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

Eonjay49d 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.

Furesis49d ago

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

just_looken49d 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

MrDead49d ago (Edited 49d 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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH49d 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…
