"Pixelitis Managing Editor Patrick Kulikowski, aka the VGdrummer, is back with a drum cover of a fast-paced rocking tune from Capcom’s Mega Man X3.
Mega Man X3 has a very interesting musical history. The soundtrack, composed by original Castlevania composer and Video Games Live regular Kinuyo Yamashita, is very rock-inspired, to the point of one particular stage sounding a lot like a certain Guns n’ Roses song.
The PS1 re-release of the game in Europe and Japan featured a completely revamped soundtrack, where the rock-oriented SNES guitar was replaced by very smooth jazz and pop-like arrangements. This version of X3 found its way into North America on the PS2 and Gamecube’s Mega Man X Collection. Which do you prefer, the chiptune guitar or the synth?

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 would make a new Megaman X game but with sprites like the ones on the PS1, Sonic 4 or like KOF13. But I bet that if they ever make one it will be like that garbage remake of the first game named Maverick Hunter X on the PSP. Those 2.5D graphics murder the art-style and make the gameplay feel slower and not as stylish.
I know the purists will want the game to look exactly as the Snes ones but I think they should move on. HD sprites would be the best in my opinion because it'd be a combination of both worlds: a touch of old-school by using sprites but more detailed thanks to newer tech.
