Furious Francis cuts through Capcom's PR BS to give you the real reason we will not be seeing a Vita version of Resident Evil Revelations Unveiled Edition.
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 :(
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??????

Man have we dropped that quality bar for acceptable performance/optimization
a person's view on performance using a high end pc

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
@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
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.

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
Umm, 3DS is selling enough in Japan for Capcom not to worry about millions of defectors suddenly rushing to try a game THEY CAN ALREADY PLAY on their 3DS on another platform.
Sorry, don't buy that logic
Capcom just made a cheap excuse. I think they just simply don't think it's a good investment considering PS VITA's current install base. Capcom could be the ones to make that install base larger, but they are waiting till others will do it.
Oh well, I would have bought it for my VITA, but apparently they don't need my money.
not sure that i care really based on past RE games it would most likely suck anyways
They just don't have any faith in the Vita.
Easy Logic., Since Nintendo is losing with the console wars, against the aging ps3 and xbox 360(Worst case scenario, PS4 and Xbox 720 is coming soon), For them to be able to counter it, They want to dominate the handheld wars against The Vita. They Became really desperate so they paid the Crapcom Company to have their MH and RE exclusive to 3ds (Which is originally meant for Sony). Vita will someday Bounce back(Mark My word Crapcom pussies).
