GamingUnion.net: "Capcom is a sequels machine. We know it, you know it, heck even Keiji Inafune knows it. The latest comment from the former Capcom employee and creator of Mega Man isn't just hot air, Capcom's portfolio of games speaks volumes by itself. It's understandable when a creative company avoids taking risks, but when there's actually a rule that 80 percent of their games are required to be sequels, then there's a problem. Not only does Capcom run the risk of over saturating the market, but eventually gamers will start to get sick of playing the same games over and over again. "
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.
Asura's Wrath and Dragon's Dogma look really nice, hopefully Capcom supports them as much as they would for their veteran IPs.
I hope these two games succeed. Dragon's Dogma looks really promising.
We have yet to see/play the result. Bit premature to be begging for more.
asuras wrath= really great and something that visually looks different from a really good japanese developer
dragons dogma= as generic as generic that looks like everything else from a ______________, you guess
If they do not DLC milk these two games then these games will be great. Asura's Wrath looks good don't know why people are saying it is a GOW rip-off even though it don't look like it.
