Vanillaware’s Dragon’s Crown seems to be doing really well in Japan, and it’s definitely on the radar of many gamers in the west as well. Considering that, you’d think publishers were eager to put their brand on it, but that’s not the case. Not only the original publisher of the game UTV Ignition Entertainment dropped the project before it was finally picked up by Atlus, but it turns out that it was also rejected by Capcom.
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.
They published remember me , but no this, capcom you fail so hard.
Thank god or other wise scamcom would be charging us just to look at those magumbos.
LOL @ Capcom. Hopefully they pull their heads out their asses and start getting back on track. Now that Ono is already talking about being interested in SF5, I don't want it being done with the current mentality they have with $$$ DLC. They'll end up locking half the game content away as on-disc $$DLC that they'll swear was created on a separate DLC budget. I can't stand that crap, just focus on getting everything you can in the $60 game up until release. Then work on $$ DLC if you like.
I think it's odd that ATLUS wouldn't have been choice number one, anyway. Maybe it's just here in the West, but don't they have a pretty close relationship anyway? Odin Sphere, GrimGrimoire, Baroque, too, I think.
I wish the sorceress was just completely topless lol
