8CN: Despite a lack of news on the previously announced Mega Man titles heading to the 3DS Virtual Console, Capcom is assuring fans that those titles, and even more, on the way. These include classic Game Boy games such as Mega Man II, III, IV, and V. While the publisher doesn't have a firm release window set, community manager Brett Elston offered a small update on their progress.
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 wish Capcom should start realisng Vita/3DS, not just making 3DS games because its cheaper, step up your game Capcom.
@KonsoruMasuta Who are you kidding? You know Monster Hunter was popular on the PSP it always sold really good. Expanding to Vita would give it a huge leap to PS Vita Sells plus more sells. You are wrong they tend to make the cheapest product they can that they know will sell, so their "risk" is just greed that they are not willing to spend money to develop a Vita Monster Hunter which will cost more then a 3DS game and guess what you sell both at 39.99 that's why they choose the cheaper console to develop for.
You already had a Mega Man game 1/3 of the way DONE! FINISH THAT ONE FIRST!
Still no new Megaman game? I don't mind Re-releases on the VC too much, but fans have been asking for a REAL and NEW megaman game for months. Inafune managed to fulfill his fans request by re-making megaman into Mighty no.9 and the money he's gotten shows that people do want these games.
I don't trust capcom. I lost their trust long ago and I don't think I'll buy their megaman game(new). Cause I think their megaman game will be made out of spite and not love for the character/franchise. RIP megaman, RIP.
"Capcom is assuring fans that those titles, and even more, on the way"
I don't understand that. If the 6 NES games are on 3DS, and you're putting the rest of the Game Boy games on there, what else is there to do?
