I wanted them to take a pure survival horror route like the previous RE games, but I can't really say anything bad about the trailer, because it fucking owned.

SuperSaiyan44477d ago

Believe the hype...Same with movies they tend to show you the best parts of a film and the rest is pure rubbish...Same has happened with trailers for games, they show you the best parts hence why trailers are always short lol

But on a serious note I hope Res Evil 6 is more like the originals including 4. I did however notice in the trailer that the enemies are actual zombies that move slow not fast running like in 5.

DA_SHREDDER4477d ago

More like RE4? I'll pass. Give me back my old RE. I hate the direction it's taken since Part 4. Even Code Veronica was better than part 4.

LightofDarkness4477d ago

Yes, this is directly in-line with what your marketing director said in morning with regards to "capturing the COD market". /s

But seriously, why are they lying about it?

JaredH4477d ago

Too bad he said that regarding the ACTION game Operations Raccoon City. Please don't just look at headlines.

Shubhankar4477d ago

Acually, he said that about the entire series, that Capcom would take the entire series in that direction. As far as Resident Evil 6 is concerned, however, he was only talking about the Chris based parts. We all know the sections that focus on Leon will be classic survival horror.

JaredH4477d ago (Edited 4477d ago )

@Shubhankar

Again "The dream would be that the millions of Call of Duty fans that are enjoying these fast-paced online games are attracted to this Resident Evil."

Notice the word "THIS". It refers to Operations Raccoon City. They said they're going to keep making the games as whole more action orientated but the COD market quote is related to Operations Raccoon City.

I'm just trying to say that people should actually use the right info in their opinions or arguments. Not just take a quote and run with it by applying it to anything remotely related to it.

NiKK_4194477d ago (Edited 4477d ago )

@JaredH I hope you're right. I was going to say something about that COD comment they made, but I didn't read the whole thing because it didn't seem like something Capcom WOULDN'T say. It just made me sad. Looking forward to RE:6, but I'm not getting my hopes up on it actually being good. At least I'll have The Last Of Us this year.

I WANT THIS GAME!
Wii U version please!

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."

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 :(

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_looken33d 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_looken33d 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.

Capcom where is Deep Down???

Tapani33d 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_looken33d 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.

andy8532d ago

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

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

just_looken33d ago (Edited 33d 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

Eonjay33d 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.

Furesis33d ago

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

just_looken33d 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

MrDead33d ago (Edited 33d 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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH33d 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

Eonjay47d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic46d 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.

Eonjay47d 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!

Darkegg46d 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.
