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

RaidenBlack83d ago

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

DarkZane83d 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.

Tacoboto83d ago

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

Ok, you're totally a game developer.

RaidenBlack83d 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.

andy8582d ago (Edited 82d 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.

NotoriousWhiz82d 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!

Snookies1283d 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.

ModsDoBetter83d 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.

Stellar Blade has sold more physical copies than Dragon's Dogma 2 in Japan, despite PS5 exclusivity

By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.

Hugodastrevas4d ago

Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!

BrettAwesome4d ago

More than it got? It got tons, by everyone except the sad wankers who's idea of a sex life, is pulling on their dicks while watching big fake cgi titties 😂

gerbintosh3d ago

Don't see the difference between cgi titties and fake boobs. Also no difference to wanking it to either one of them since both aren't physically there

RiseNShine3d ago

Salty that the game is doing well hm? ;) I suggest some cheese with your whine.

Skuletor3d ago

So you're saying the people that like watching CGI tits didn't praise the game? An educated guess is you meant the opposite.

BrettAwesome3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

@Risenwhine
What the fuck are you talking about? I think it looks like an awesome game. I don't get the sentiment that it didn't get as much praise as it deserved. The only ones who's been shit talking it, are sad wankers with no sex life. Am I whining? How? 😂

I think we can safely claim that Stellar Blade 2 is confirmed!
I got it day one, i have some backlog due to RDR2 i just platinumed.. i will get to Stellar Blade in the near future

shinoff21834d ago

Same but I'm hitting yakuza right now. Stellar blade looks cool though.

neutralgamer19923d ago

Capcom really dropped the ball with DG2. They had easy success on their hand but instead with their stupid decisions ruined the games success

Stellar blade is an amazing game and deserves all the success. For all the artificial hate it got from people who had no interest in the game to begin with this shows if you make a good game it will sell. The so called 1st party drought from PlayStation has meant 4 exclusives in 2024 so far. Other companies need to learn how to run a business and plan for the future

H94d ago

Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one

Redemption-644d ago

DS2 sold 2.5M in a little over a week, what the hell are you talking about?

H94d ago

"there", that's Japan, this article is about Japan, the bad word of mouth is about Japan

Hereandthere4d ago

Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.

The_Hooligan3d ago

How dare you speak common sense!!??

jznrpg3d ago

It would if they added a lot more combat and didn’t focus on graphics

XiNatsuDragnel4d ago

Stellar blade is great excited for 2

anast4d ago

They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.

shinoff21834d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Said that dd2 was missing things the first one did,like mass effect 2? I haven't played it so I'm really asking.

spss113d ago

I've played both and I have no idea what people say when they claim it's "incomplete". I've only noticed new things in comparison to DD1 (I would give a list but spoilers). Sometimes I wonder if some people actually played DD1 or maybe they remember it differently. Anyways, if you liked the first one and want more of that, you'll probably like DD2.

anast3d ago

Yeah, the content, combat movement is slower, less vocations, the armor system, it's more simplified, and dungeons are lacking. It's like they rushed it out or something, but didn't forget to add in youtuber pawns and micros. At least ME 2 upped the content.

Game has some issues tho and its not the GOTY everyone hoped.

Small enemy variety.
Very poor endgame. Its just Caelid with some bosses.
Fun classes like Assassin and Magic Knight gone
One weapon type per class.

Overall its a great game.
