Famitsu has an interview this week with Capcom's Jun Takeuchi, now the head honcho at the Osaka game giant's development labs. In the interview, Takeuchi looked back at 2010, and more intriguingly shared a few insights about what we can expect in 2011.
Of particular note is the revelation that Capcom has what appears to be at least two big original unannounced titles coming this year.
"We have titles for 2011 that have yet to be announced," said Takauchi. He added that they're original games, and they're large scale titles. He promised that Capcom would be surprising people at least twice by the Summer, so it looks like he's referring specifically to two titles.
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 :(
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.
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.
Capcom is one of the few companies people haven't been begging for new titles.
Because they have such a great backlog that needs to be dust off.
What about onimusha, strides, Dino crisis, there's even more stuff.
I think a lit of people would take that over new titles.
Though not saying new titles are bad
I hope they will show something interesting finally. Except RE franchise there are only EPIC FAILS in their library (vide Lost Planet 2, Street Fighter 4 and upcoming Dante May Cry, or Ashura's Wrath). Pull yourself together, Capcom! You were so cool in the past.
