Are franchises like Dead Space and Resident Evil struggling to survive the negative influences of their publishers?
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.
I guess even since the dawn of mankind on Earth, horrors never get stuck in everyone's heart for a long time. I've been a fan of horror games and/or flicks, but I've found it difficult for developers to create survival horrors 'for all', you know what I mean...
Nowadays, they're just making money without noticing what the gamers want actually. I know there are (still) some great developers, such as Naughty Dog, Valve, Rockstar Games, etc., who, without any hesitation, make 'antimainstream' games.
Perhaps, it's just my two cents. Hehehe
One word...yes! Did dead space not sell well enough? Or do they look at generic action game sales and decide that those numbers minus the base fans is a good target to aim for. Its absurd. The market is saturated and the economy is bad. Why would u not want to stand out in ur genre? It perplexes me.
Its because of CoD, publishers see how well it SOLD and they think by making it more of a shooter, it will interest people who like shooters. I remember playing RE3, awesome horror game... I miss RE games.
Indie devs make awesome horror titles
Sony and naughty dog aint
