...please capcom, continue delivering games that no one wants or asked for. Don't localize monster hunter 4 either...

Seriously speaking capcom and Sega...they are so out of touch with their consumers.

HelpfulGamer3766d ago

The Chinese wants Monster Hunter and they got it.

Perhaps those Game developers listens to much to those Economist that tells that US dollar is worthless, Chinese Money worth more. XD

MrSwankSinatra3766d ago

yes US is dollar is worthless but capcom sure invested a lot of money trying to make japanese franchises appeal to western audiences and failing at that.

HelpfulGamer3766d ago (Edited 3766d ago )

@MrSwankSinatra

Euro, Bulgarian lev, British Pound, Croatian kuna, Czech koruna, Danish krone, Hungarian forint, Polish złoty, Romanian leu, Swedish krona, Swiss franc, Brazilian real, Canadian dollar.

There's plenty of Western Money other than the US Dollar, some of them worth more than US Dollar.

MrSwankSinatra3766d ago (Edited 3766d ago )

that's not the point, point is capcom tried to appeal to western audiences which includes the U.S. so obviously the U.S. dollar isn't as worthless as you might think but in any case the chinese yuan is worth 15 cents more than the US dollar so arguing as if the exchange rate for a dollar is china is low as you seem to allude to is beyond ridiculous. An why even try to argue about Monster Hunter, we all know collectively the Monster Hunter franchise has never been a seller in the west, it sells quadruple the amount in the east than its ever sold in western territories. so just mentioning that alone makes you look uninformed.

HelpfulGamer3766d ago (Edited 3766d ago )

@MrSwankSinatra

"U.S. dollar isn't as worthless as you might think" - MrSwankSinatra

I can agree to that. Hope developing country develop faster, creating more Market for Game Developers. Greatness Awaits. :D

vishmarx3765d ago

i actually thought things couldnt get any worse for dmc

joab7773765d ago

Really? Capcom isn't avoiding the west b/c of the US dollar. But, I do think that they see something in the mmo/f2p space. Deep Down could have been a dragons dogma 2 but instead is a f2p dungeon crawler. I do believe that we r gonna see more f2p and mmos coming to console, along with indies and less triple a games.

Dir_en_grey3765d ago (Edited 3765d ago )

You guys can't really think of Capcom (or any other multi-international companies) as one big company.
Basically each branch at an area is it's own and they only license (pay money to the original owner so they can publish it in their own country) a game if they think it's profitable, for their own region.
I guess Monster Hunter didn't make enough money because in the PSP era it was always brought over AFTER people played the English hacks and nobody bought them.
I guess the WiiU/3DS versions didn't sell enough either for Capcom USA.
If you really want a certain game in your region you should really just write and complain to the division of the country you live in.
Also actually buying games that you support is the best way to vote.
If a game is popular but they aren't making money off it for whatever reason, nobody is going to spend money to license it to bring it over if they can use that money for something else that makes even more money.

BISHOP-BRASIL3765d ago

Are you guys kidding me? There's no such a thing as a worthless currency simply because games are priced accordingly to each region (and even costier in places where are other costs aboard), not simply "60 coins" anywhere. That's basically why we use currencies all around the world: easy conversion for foreign exchanges. If we used commodities as the base value for money (like gold or what not), it would be way more complicated (a coin of silver is not worth the same everyday).

Defectiv3_Detectiv33764d ago

No, the Chinese actually manipulate their currency to make sure it is valued less then the American dollar because they are shady like that. And regardless of the actual value of a dollar the North American market is still one of the biggest and most profitable in the world. Just ask all those Japanese gamers waiting for the PS4 to launch.

Perhaps the minority, which are the most vocal, aren't enough to warrant localization, due to cost.

showtimefolks3764d ago

Capcom shouldn't have focused so much on appealing to western audience that they lost their magic touch. If i was running Capcom i would make the company a lot of money and its not because i am super smart. Its because a lot of these people who are running capcom have no clue what they are doing wrong to begin with

Devil May Cry reboot was such a good game but most of DMC fans were too damn ButtHurt to even give it a shot. So what they changed they look of the main character, most DMC fans never got over that and passed on a very good game

Monster hunter 4 for home consoles in the west means a lot of money yet capcom isn't interested.

Why cancel megaman?

there is a reason behind all these home grown capcom developers leaving the company after being there for 15-20 to form their own studios or work for western publishers. Capcom is too interested in making sequels

last gen we lost THQ so i am calling it now capcom will go next.

I remember when capcom was a fan favorite company, oh how the times have changed

DarkHeroZX3764d ago

Well DMC is coming to PS+ so I'll play it then.

Lord_Sloth3764d ago

I did give DmC a shot and I can say most of the complaints are very valid and extemd far beyond the aesthetics. As an action game it was passablr but as a DMC game it failed to live up to the standards set by it's predesessors.

showtimefolks3764d ago

Lord_Sloth

but isn't that what a reboot is?

castlevania lords of shadow a reboot for Castlevania and a totally different game. Just because its different doesn't mean it was very good

a lot of DMC fans and Gaming media members never let go of the fact it wasn't like old DMC

Kenshin_BATT0USAI3763d ago

What dark hero said. Frankly I just wasn't interested in DmC. Nothing to do with the Dante debacle. I'll play it though via ps+.

you have got to be kidding me.........

HarryMasonHerpderp3765d ago

The title is very misleading and the thumbnail to boot.
This isn't a Devil May Cry game it was quoted as "dmc online" for its style of gameplay.

So don't worry :)
Devil May Cry 5 the tablet game will be coming soon ;D
mwahahaha! really wouldn't surprise me!

MrSwankSinatra3765d ago

i don't think it would surprise anyone especially since they turned breath of fire into a mobile game & onimusha into a online card game. i swear the decisions capcom makes, makes me feel like putting a gun barrel in my mouth.

Godmars2903766d ago (Edited 3766d ago )

Well, this isn't about the Western market. Even the game isn't being called "Devil May Cry" except by its testers.

Would say that Capcom is wasting money, but really, this more and some 3rd party feeding into the money trough the South Korean government has set up to support game development.

DeadlyFire3765d ago

You know a few years ago 2008 on forward THQ was wasting money on lots of stuff. Now they don't exist. So we will see if Capcom can last over the next decade. I believe they are wise enough to not fail.

Roccetarius3765d ago

I predict that Capcom will go under this gen, unless they somehow magically turns things around.

NarooN3765d ago

Man, I still hate that THQ died. The only reason they got annihilated was because of that uDraw nonsense. I think it was successful on Wii, but then they spent a crapload of money and brought it to other platforms where it bombed horribly. Then they had a shitload of unsold stock which they couldn't get rid of.

What a shame... Capcom is the company that actually deserves to be obliterated after all the nonsense they've done.

DanielGearSolid3765d ago

I didn't see any gameplay to compare it to dmc, is there any online?

Chrono3765d ago (Edited 3765d ago )

This game is not DMC, I don't know why everybody's complaining. Here's some gameplay: http://youtu.be/Zc08kd29n4I

CrossingEden3765d ago

I was just about to type an angry rant as I thought that this was an DMC mmo, thanks for clearing that up, that being said, this game's combat is extremely slick and dynamic for an MMO and i'm very curious as to how it will turn out. They should REALLY change the title though because even I was confused.

Roccetarius3765d ago

Maybe the first character looks good to play, but the 2nd seems pretty boring. DMC gameplay wouldn't work so well online either way, because of the different internet connections.

DanielGearSolid3765d ago

Thx, looks pretty good, as for DMC comparisons, the only similarity is its a hack & slash

CarlosX3603765d ago

The only similarities I see to DMC is that it's somewhat a "hack n' slash" with combos attached to it. And the fact that the game seems to be a battle of the two evils - look how the enemies disappear... Demonic enemies.

Dragon's Dogma 2 continues Capcom's hot streak on Metacritic

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_looken29d ago (Edited 29d 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??????

andy8529d ago (Edited 29d 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_looken29d 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_looken29d 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.

Cacabunga29d ago

Capcom where is Deep Down???

Tapani29d 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_looken29d 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.

andy8528d ago

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

lellkay29d ago

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

just_looken29d ago (Edited 29d 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

Eonjay29d 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.

Furesis29d ago

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

just_looken29d 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

MrDead29d ago (Edited 29d 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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH29d 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…

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.

"Won't someone think of the shareholders!!" wwwaaaahhh

Eonjay43d ago

It funny with this news, their stock price took a small hit. But you know what... thats like too damn bad. We have to stop letting shareholders run the industry into the ground.

FinalFantasyFanatic42d ago

Seriously, you have to spend money to make money, I think some companies and share holders forget that, If you don't pay enough, you can't attract the best talent, or possibly even enough staff for the company to function properly.

Eonjay43d ago

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!

Darkegg42d ago

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.
