Dragon's Dogma on PC is an HD remaster in all but name

Digital Foundry:
Coming from sub-30fps gameplay across last-gen consoles, the PC version of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is a breath of fresh air - especially when played at 60fps. The combination of increased fluidity and crisper controls make for a far more enjoyable experience that suits the action-heavy nature of the game. Combat scenes play out more smoothly, while cut-scenes no longer stutter when there is a lot happening on-screen.

Hitting 60fps is more difficult than expected for what is essentially a HD remaster of a last-gen title, and those on budget set-ups will have to bear this in mind. But even so, the experience using our budget PC set-up is light years beyond the sub-30fps gameplay on consoles. However, we'd recommend at least a GTX 960 if sustaining 60fps is a priority.

Well... that's not surprising. Almost all games that are on consoles run better on PC.

Notice I said almost, no need to bring up Arkham Knight ;)

rdgneoz33035d ago

It was a PS360 game, so the jump to PC would have been a bit. Hoping DDO comes to the west eventually, the game looks good (you can play on PC with a little work).

Bahamut3035d ago

Right. With current gen, it's slightly less noticeable. Usually just the framerate and shaders/etc. are better than the ps4 version. We won't talk about Xbone though.

smashman983035d ago

Well I counter your troll with a troll of my own.

I heard bloodborne doesn't run on pc at all ;)

Bahamut3035d ago (Edited 3035d ago )

I wasn't trolling. Don't get things confused and think stating facts is "trolling" just because you don't like the information. And I love Bloodborne, I play it all the time... so what are you getting at?

aquamala3035d ago

console versions weren't even in 720p, so calling this HD remaster is correct

SilverClock3035d ago (Edited 3035d ago )

I have a GTX 770 and 60fps is no problem...with max settings. Although maybe that has something to do with the rest of my computer specs. I'm not an expert at stuff like this. XD

If anyone is wondering the first one still holds up well to this day. It's fun

darthv72185d ago

Grandia, Klonoa, and Parappa... NICE!

MrBaskerville185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

Grandia is especially nice, as I don't think it's available on psn atm. Wonder if it's a psx port or the Switch version.

If they didn't despise ps2, they could have added Grandia 2-3 as well.

shinoff2183184d ago

It's not a despise. Far as I've read their working on better emulation. It'll come.

LG_Fox_Brazil185d ago

GRANDIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Fckn love that game

StormSnooper184d ago

Is it good? I never played that.

crazyCoconuts185d ago

Been thinking of getting Teardown on Steam for Steam Deck play. Heard a lot of great reviews for it.

MrBeatdown184d ago

Played the first half hour last night. All I did was wreck a building but what a blast.

Elda185d ago

Nothing of interest for me. My sub is up in 2 weeks & I'll go with Essentials only for cloud saves & online. Having Extra or Premium is a waste for me seeing most games that land on the service are old that I've played already or old games I never had any interest in playing.

crazyCoconuts185d ago

Respect your opinion, just pointing out that Teardown is a Day One Extra release for PS, not an old game in this case. Gotham Knights last month was a year old.

Elda184d ago

I have no interest in Teardown. I bought & played Gotham Knights when it was first released in October 2022. Every month I'm always buying the latest AAA or AA games when they first release to play on my PS5, the very reason why Extra & Premium is a waste of money for me.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Alternatives – 7 Top Games Like Baldur’s Gate 3

Baldur’s Gate is a name synonymous with party-based fantasy RPG games. There’s still a stretch of time until the third instalment finally leaves early access. While you’re waiting for the gates to open and welcome you to Forgotten Realms, you might be looking for similar games to ease the wait.

anast310d ago

Some good games on that list.

FalcorMononoke310d ago (Edited 310d ago )

In my personal opinion, Divinity Original Sin 2 is better than any of the Baldur's Gate games.

Becuzisaid309d ago

Are you including BG3 in that comparison? Or just the first 2? The first 2 are tough to get into now, and I never liked the ad&d rules. The 5e rules are much easier to grasp. But BG3 seems to be just DOS2 but times 10. Haven't played it in early access at all, just going by what I see online.

Nittdarko309d ago

hilarious because the game that is most like BG3 and a game every DND fan should try is Solasta and its not even on this list
