Dragon’s Dogma 2 Post-Launch Update Detailed, 30 FPS Limit Planned For Consoles

Capcom has shared plans for their post-launch support for Dragon’s Dogma 2 including confirming a 30 FPS limit for PS5 and Xbox Series S|X.

smolinsk437d ago

What does 30fps limit even mean? The fps getting better? Because that part of the game is a mess and unbearable to play on Concoles

CrimsonWing69436d ago (Edited 436d ago )

Probably the opposite of uncapped. They probably get a stable framerate limiting it to 30 fps. Honestly, 30 fps isn’t a big deal. I typically play all games on graphics mode and my eyes adjust to it after like an hour or so. It’s only jarring hopping between 30 to 60 fps.

MeteorPanda436d ago

if you play the magic spear when you run with it on your back you can literally see the frames at the edges when you run. lol

Psychonaut85436d ago

Yeah if it’s evenly frame paced you get used to it. But right after switching from 60 it looks like a stop motion movie for a little while. Takes a bit for the “movie magic” to kick in.

andy85436d ago

Locked is much better better than fluctuating between 20s and 30s. I hope they develop a 40 fps mode. That be great if the pro could manage to hit that after optimisation

Ironmike436d ago

Is it I haven't had many problems on my ps5 some hiccups but nothing major

isarai436d ago

Hopefully optional, im fine with uncapped as long as the VRR works

mkis007436d ago

Vrr doesnt work under 40 fps.which is where this game is.

sweatyrich436d ago

PS5 has a lower rate of 48FPS for VRR. Anything below that and VRR isn't working (unless it's running in a 120fps container)

--Onilink--436d ago

@sweatyrich

Even on a 120hz container it doesnt work. For some reason Sony hasnt implemented Low Framerate Compensation for whenever a game drops below the VRR window like the Xbox does.

The exception is some (maybe all, not sure) Insomniac games, but because they did it in the game side directly (plus offering more performance modes than any other game haha).

Its really annoying that Sony doesnt do anything about. With so many games having really horrible IQ in performance mode these days, LFC would be a great feature to add

isarai436d ago (Edited 436d ago )

It does if the game allows it, as in they have to enable it on the game side, and it very much works in dragons dogma 2

ModsDoBetter436d ago

How do you stop flickering on PS5 with VRR? It happens on COD, DD2 and a few other games for me. Some games work, but I have to turn it off more often than not to stop the flicker.

--Onilink--436d ago

Its not related to the PS5, its because of the TV/Monitor you are using.

Some newer TVs have certain features that help minimize it, and you should only see it really in near black scenarios (otherwise its probably a TV that does VRR really badly), but even on my G3 OLED I still have near black flickering in VRR in certain content, for Alan Wake for example I had to disable VRR and just set a framerate cap (it was on PC), or I ocassionally see it in loading screens since they also represent the most typical black/near black scenarios where it shows the most

isarai436d ago

I would check to see if you have some "black frame insertion" setting on. I know my TV does that if i enable "OLED True Motion" so i would try tweaking your motion/smoothness settings where you would turn on things like interpolation/smooth motion.

ModsDoBetter436d ago

@Oni

I have an LG B9 I use on occasion but I mainly game on my Aorus FV43U. VRR worked fine when I had my Series X, only PS seems to have the issue.

It's not that bad since I can just turn it off and have a great experience, but would be handy if it didn't flicker.

Hopefully my next monitor won't have the issue! Cheers for the response.

Kaii436d ago

Pathetic, It should've launched in this state.

DivineHand125436d ago

I like what I am seeing with these updates. I hope they continue to optimize the game in short order.

There are 2 things we should never see in a modern game. No performance mode and no option to turn off motion blur.

Psychonaut85436d ago

Should have been this way at launch, but won’t really solve things. Cuz the game tanks to in the 20s regularly in towns, a 30 frame cap does nothing to solve that.

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..

TheEroica120d ago

Didn't DD2 come out a year ago?

DivineHand125122d ago (Edited 122d 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.

robtion120d 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.

MeteorPanda120d 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 Russell120d ago

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

Sonyslave3122d ago

Damn dont expect part 3 anytime soon😔

Gamehard121d ago

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

Themba76122d ago

I’m enjoying it on my pro

Gamehard121d 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.
