Capcom 'working on Dead Rising 3 frame rate problem'

Producer assures the game will be running smoothly by launch.
Consumers concerned about reported Dead Rising 3's frame rate issues should stop "freaking out" and wait for the finished game, according to the title's producer.

"..people who saw it at Gamescom and saw it at Tokyo Game Show were like 'oh shit they weren't lying, they actually did optimise everything, and the framerate is totally solid now"

people also noticed the texture resolution drop

[Robochobo]

Can you source where people saw a texture res drop, or is this from "word of mouth?"

[mkis007]

Pretty sure he is talking about resolution scaling that the game does to not dip below 30fps. I think it was in that last digital foundry interview with the named Xbox1 engineers. So ya they will sacrifice resolution of need be to keep it at 30.

[JokesOnYou]

mkis he asked for a valid source of DR3 texture resolution drop for a solid 30fps, you follow up with "I'm pretty sure", and something about engineers is it so hard to link the proof, maybe cut n paste the qoute because I don't see it and you are the one making a factual claim.

[NukaCola]

Jokes, there should be a break down on the majority of the nextgen titles seeing how they stack up. FACE OFFs, analysis vids and whatnots.

[P0werVR]

Of course it's word of mouth. Tell me anything anyone on here who has direct access to?! NOTHING!

It's funny how we have all these potential market representatives, ridiculous. lol!

Here's the article where the Xbox One architects talk about using dynamic resolution to keep frame rates steady.

[BallsEye]

link please or didn't happen

[Convas]

According to what sources or gamepaly footage sir?

[christocolus]

texture drop?i beg to differ and if i am not mistaken i believe people actually said they noticed a slight upgrade in graphics along with a stable frame rate ...

[come_bom]

If they want to see frame rate problems, they should play GTA 5.

[jhoward585]

@come_bom

You can expect some frame rate issues from a game like GTA 5 running on a older hardware such as the 360/ps3,But not the X1.

Beside, DR3 is a first Gen game(thats not to be expected) and GTA 5 is a 4th gen /5th gen game(Not sure which gen but you get the point)

[Gamingcapacity]

I would say it's the other way around. 1st wave of titles will come with problems but as the gen goes on, they can optimise and improve. With time they can perfect the use of their engines and will have better hardware knowledge.

[JokesOnYou]

jhoward Wow, really? Did you just start gaming its much harder for 1st gen games because devs are figuring out the new hardware= learn new tricks/better optimization. This site is getting younger.

[jhoward585]

@JokesOnYou

In some sense you're right, but what you fail to realize is that most Dev don't really know the full potential of a Dev kit until they start adding feature/effects.

Devs have to learn how to balance things(visual/features/effects /etc) until they figure out what works and what don't.

Remember this is not 360/ps3 anymore so the rules of method will change. Meaning Devs don't have to struggles as much as they did with the older hardware as such as the 360/ps3.

So the learning curve should be much faster b/c dev are using architecture that's similar to PC architecture; something they should already know how to do. So there's no excuses!

[Gamingcapacity]

@jhoward. I see your point. One thing I'll give them is that it's hard to judge what you can do and can't do with the given specs. If you have to get the game out witin a time frame then you can end up with a game that doesn't run smoothly.

Dead Rising 3 is on a time frame and the game will have to go gold in October, will it be enough time to iron out all the creases?

[JokesOnYou]

@jhoward 1st the headline is misleading heres what he actually said:

"It is similar content, and a similar area of the world so people who saw it at Gamescom and saw it at Tokyo Game Show were like 'oh shit they weren't lying, they actually did optimise everything, and the framerate is totally solid now', and we're like 'See? We're not done, we're still working on it! Give us a break, there's two more months till we come out! We're human beings too! We have feelings too!'"

Jones added: "Listen to me when I tell you that we're still working on it. That build is weeks old, and we have guys in Vancouver RIGHT NOW who are staying up until 3am to solve that problem."

2nd No jhoward although similar like 360 was there is still always a learning curve, thats why its a console and not a pc, also X1 is heavily customized with hardware built in house, eSRAM and different architecture setup as well. Disagree all you want but clearly devs at yhe start of a gen making launch hames are at a disadvantage in many ways including time constraints.

[Gr1mmyshadows]

I never noticed any framerate issues playing gta and i have it on 360

[pyramidshead]

Wait what, thought there was an article the other week telling everyone they'd nailed it and got it locked at 30fps. o.O

[Chris12]

Read the article, its completely out of context to what they're working on

[BallsEye]

Read the article please. Basicly people were impressed, saying everything is fixed but capcom said HEY HEY WAIT, we can do better, we're still not done!

[Jovanian]

Next gen consoles struggling to maintain 60 fps and they aren't even released yet

what a great start to the next generation

[mkis007]

New consoles first games always run poorly. I was disgusted when I went back to play heavenly sword. Your argument doesn't follow because they will get better not worse...

[HeyImBen11]

Exactly, they aren't even released yet. Optimization is done in 3 or more years.

Also: Driveclub aiming 60 fps, Killzone SF 60 fps, Forza 5 60 fps, BF4 60 fps, AC4 60 fps, Cod ghosts 60 fps, Knack 60 fps

Don't see your problem.

[BallsEye]

Halo 5 confirmed 60 fps on e3 so it's also good news. 60 fps for shooters is very important.

Btw, wasn't knack 30 fps? Wish KZ single player would be 60 fps too , will be weird to jump from 30 to 60 between SP and MP.

AC 60 fps.. mmm can't wait!

[joefrost00]

Killer instinct and lococycle also

[jony_dols]

Go back and play the 360/PS3 launch games and you'll realize how far this gen has come.

Once devs get a hang of the hardware, the optimization of games will become apparent.

[PsylentKiller]

I don't have launch games to play now as they all were traded in but I did look at gameplay on you tube. Compare call of duty 2 to ghosts. Or look at King Kong and see how bad the graphics are now but remember how great they were when you first played them. It's amazing how far consoles have come especially with online play. Remember the X-Band? Lol

[hollabox]

They need to add some color while their at it

[Regis]

Yeah where other games have too much color it hurts

[hollabox]

2001 called and they want their Brownish, Yellowish, and Grey hues colors back. Compared to DR2 (colorful) DR3 is not looking like much of an upgrade. Yeah you have allot more characters on the screen with higher textures resolution that is being masked by this awful color scheme DR3 employs.

[Regis]

But you need to ask is color really needed for a zombie apocalypse game.

[fossilfern]

This seems to be an engine problem if anything.

[Goku781]

Two months left to fix it.

[lifeisgamesok]

Well look at how demanding the game is

Hundreds of zombies
Air strikes and other explosions
Vehicles
Physics engine
Great lighting

It'll be 30 frames per second and that's impressive

[PFFT]

Open world
no load times
and pretty much every building can be accessed.

[lifeisgamesok]

Thanks PFFT I'm convinced that people will let their console bias views cloud their judgment of even the best looking games with the best features :/

[Magicite]

PC has done this years ago with any resolution or framerate you like.

[ChrisW]

I like to click "ignore" on stupid Sony Fantards... When I came to this page, about a third of the comments were already collapsed because of me previously ignoring them.

Those Sony trolls are predictable, pathetic, and hilarious all at the same time.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

lol...ignore does make for a faster read through though.

[Trekster_Gamer]

WTF??? The fracking game isn't even out....
How about the trolls start bitching after the release if there are issues?

It's like seeing a movie trailer and whining because all of the plot is not shown!

[FrigidDARKNESS]

The framerate issues have already been cleaned up on the game.

[Convas]

Mother of MISCONSTRUED, TWISTED Title for hits.

Not surprised though, these kinds of titles are great for luring in the masses, most of whom are just detractors.

[byeGollum]

they feed off fanboys . . what more can we say?

[jhoward585]

@ Gamingcapacity
You said:
Dead Rising 3 is on a time frame and the game will have to go gold in October, will it be enough time to iron out all the creases?

----------------------------- ---------------------------
well, no one wont ever know the answer to that question b/c
it depend on when capcom started making DR3.

But being that capcom already announced a release date for DR3 tells me they're not too far from finishing DR3.

Most DEv are pretty good at when a game should be done during the development process phase. So in other word, most dev wont set a date on their game unless they are completely sure it can be completed on time. But that not always the case some Dev miss their deadline.
