uncapped 30 frames smh
How about you spend more on optimization -_-

RaidenBlack427d ago

Its Capcom, though
They've been top of optimization game for quite some time.

DarkZane427d ago

If they were, we'd have 60fps with those visuals. The game really looks bad in term of visuals, so the fact that this doesn't run at 60fps is inexcusable. It looks like a PS4 game visually.

"If they were, we'd have 60fps with those visuals"

Ok, you're totally a game developer.

RaidenBlack427d ago

@DarkZane
You know games can be CPU-limited and GPU-limited right?
Just Visuals is not everything in a game and that's done primarliy by the GPU which are comparably simpler calculations and done parallelly to achieve higher results or "visual fidelity".
CPU is for more complex calculations. It can't do as many of them at a time & those are naturally slower to do because those are complex.
AI, Physics, Collision detection, Cloth simulation... basically the stuffs that you don't "see" upfront but you see the effects of are calculated by CPU
And a game with more of these stuffs stresses the CPU more ... bringing down performance targets.

andy85427d ago (Edited 427d ago )

You're right games can be CPU limited. But whys that the case exactly? It looks like a 10 year old game. What is taxing this CPU? I've seen a lot of the preview and there's nothing new that would warrant that. Forbidden West had cloth simulation, haif simulation, grass simulation, water simulation, even underwater battles ffs 😂 is a far prettier game and i was getting up to 100 fps on PS. Its just making excuses.

NotoriousWhiz426d ago

^ You're discounting the A.I. perhaps the partner AI is taxing or the enemy AI or the way its reactions change based on the environment. Also, don't discount all the particle effects from the magical attacks.

dragon dogma 1 was also not good in terms of performance. It dropped frames especially with that knight light ability...I was not expecting them to make same mistake. They also don't have fast travel in this game ugh!

Snookies12427d ago

Oof, never been a fan of uncapped frame rates... It's always a much smoother experience having a cap on there at slightly lower FPS. Rather than going uncapped and having uneven frame pacing thanks to hitting an extra 10-15 FPS at random times.

ModsDoBetter427d ago

I was never big on the whole "60 or nothing" and didn't mind 30fps, but recently I've played more and more 60 and 120fps games, so much so that I find it difficult to play anything at 30fps now, it just feels so jarring.

I never played this series but I only heard good things about it..
as a gamer who follows gaming news, I do not think capcom gave this the marketing it deserves. Still on my radar..

TheEroica92d ago

Didn't DD2 come out a year ago?

DivineHand12593d ago (Edited 93d ago )

Dragons dogma 2 is a good game. The biggest mistake Capcom made was allowing it to launch at 30 fps. When the game came out, all anyone was talking about was the performance of the game. The game has a dedicated fanbase and they should have given the sequel of the original the care it deserved.

Theyy did eventually improve the performance on console but many still do not know if you can play the game at 60 fps on base PS5 and Series X or if they need to buy a $700 console to enjoy this one game.

robtion92d ago

Yes I think the game is good but it didn't have the same impact as the original when it released. The pacing is very slow, it takes forever to travel anywhere and then what do you know, microtransactions to fast travel. Really scummy move.

MeteorPanda91d ago

....why do you lie? The stones are earned in game, if you just send ppl gifts, the max friendship is they leave gifts at your home where they leave these stones as a reward ften enough. Also there are the carts.

You ppl all attacked this game over nothing. scumbag,

Kurt Russell91d ago

I had no idea they had improved the performance, so your comment is valid to me.

Sonyslave393d ago

Damn dont expect part 3 anytime soon😔

Gamehard92d ago

The director of the series left Capcom not long ago, so I think chances were already less than slim unfortunately. :(

Gamehard92d ago

I'm a big fan of the first game, and 2 was fun first time through, but the game really could use more in the way of replay value. Still holding out hope they release a DLC similar to bitterblack isle but I'm not holding my breath.
