You know what? This actually looks alright...

It's not really a Resident evil game at all. But i've always imagined a spinoff like this. It's in an alternate universe aswell. It's definately not part of the current story. Although maybe th side that saves Leon is.

Here's a spoiler:

Leon is gonna kick everybody's ass including the zombies, MR. X, lickers, hunters, T-virus, G-virus, these spec ops soldiers, etc. He's gonna have two girls fall for him and years later he's gonna bone the president's daughter. /end spoilers

If it's gonna be 4-player co-op i hope they jack up the difficulty of survival and not just have four guys mow everything down. Unless of course they do a Dino Crisis type of play in which the other people are NPCs till you have to control them for their unique items like Dylan machete and Regena's stunrod.

Action action action..........

Ninver4780d ago (Edited 4780d ago )

I'll give them one thing though. The atmosphere looks dark and intense. Hopefully the game doesn't suck. Also if they can include some 1 on 20 zombie sections with all guns blazing in a dark ally way that would be killa.

The_Devil_Hunter4780d ago

OOOOOOOOOH!!!!!!!!!! Man just the sound of that sounds awesome! I hope theres no more Standin and Shoot action like the last two games. Although I doesnt look like a game that would scare the living day lights out of someone it seems alright so far. I still prefer my good ol survival horror Resident Evil

ThanatosDMC4780d ago

I hope they're actually zombies and not zombies with guns... f*cking retarded concept. I hated Las Plagas idea they came up with.

Queefy_B4780d ago

@ThanatosDMC
Couldn't have said it better myself.

redDevil874780d ago

The fuck there's a new resi .... 0_0

When did this happen? lol

Ninver4780d ago

that's what i thought too. woke up and BOOM! new resi announced lol.

jeeves864780d ago

It's not all that surprising, considering the fact that it's the 15th anniversary.

Dart894780d ago

Ummm sometime last week lol.

TheBlackSmoke4780d ago (Edited 4780d ago )

They have a long way to go if they want to take the horror crown back from Dead Space. Capcom have been really out of touch this gen (coming from a capcom fanboy) and they let visceral sweep the rug from under them.

Hopefully they bring it to the table....they probably wont

edit: graphics aside, if they simply reuse the same Re4 engine again and the story does not progress then they have failed.

Also, what makes dead space so good is depth believability and the lore of the world you are in. DS has established more detail in 2 games than every RE put together.

I care more about Isaac than I ever have about Chris Jill and co.

edit 2:

I agree that games like siren are very scary but in a different way.

Dead space is less about psychological mindrape and more about jump scares and atmosphere. Dead space has this universe which tells its own story. The world is genuinely haunting as you see the decimation of a civilisation unfold before your eyes.

You believe in the world because of all the small details, like data logs and artifacts such as pictures, teddy bears and other personal belongings. This is what makes the world DEEP and you realise how horrific this situation you are in is.

And that is why DS is the King.

Ninver4780d ago

"They probably won't".

My thoughts exactly. I know it's early but judging from those scans, the graphics are really weak. There are hardly any textures. I think this might just be a quick cash cow.

macky3014780d ago (Edited 4780d ago )

I'm sorry,.. first Resi never really was a horror game per se,.. More survivor-quasi action games,..

Second ,.. Amnesia, both Penumbras,.. and PS3's Siren,.. are fucking way more horror and scary than Dead Space,..I actually think the first Dead Space had a better atmosphere then the second one,..

PS: I think this might actually be good, even if people shit on Slant Six,.. at least it is dark,..

radphil4780d ago

"And that is why DS is the King."

Tell that to Amnesia.

Got both eerie and jump scares, and the atmosphere leaves you nervous.

Haven't seen a single person yet that didn't get freaked out by that game. With DS, and this was very apparent in 2, you got kinda tired of it after a while, and at times, you predicted situations, like "big room = boss fight or ambush."

Capcom Is 'Aware' of Dragon's Dogma 2 Frame Rate Issues on PC

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."

just_looken39d ago

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 :(

andy8538d ago (Edited 38d ago )

Am I hearing that right, that reviewer with a 4090 is getting drops into the 20s when there's several NPC on screen. Sorry but there's zero excuse for that. BG3 had hundreds at a time on screen and that's a pretty game. What an absolute piss poor engine

just_looken38d ago

@andy

Yes the is correct but every review is giving it a past and or saying that its great that the performance is like the first ps3/xbox one game.

2012 20-30fps 2024 20-30fps dragons dogma keeping things the same reviewers like that apparently

just_looken38d ago

IGN put up a video showing the 4090 struggling aswell as console performance all versions are like the first game with fps issues.Remember dlss 3.0 can almost double your fps like that cyber punk video so without dlss on your looking at 30fps on the most powerful gpu that is out right now.

Cacabunga38d ago

Capcom where is Deep Down???

Tapani38d ago

@andy85 At launch BG3 dropped to under 30fps at the final chapter on 4090. I played the game at launch and had that experience. And that was with a 5800X3D. Everything watercooled and fine-tuned CPU/GPU and memory at 32GB with good timings, and a fast SSD etc.

just_looken38d ago

@tapani

I am sorry are we comparing a AA game with a small budget with alot going on 24/7 to a AAA game funded buy the billion dollar capcom?

You are right yes but that was patched and that team loves there community but if the first dogma said anything we should expect a patch or 2 but that is it.

andy8537d ago

@Tapani indeed but that was hundreds of NPCs. Not a few. It's piss poor

Can they be aware of the need for 60fps on consoles plz

just_looken38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

Oh no kidding that "pro" model better have a 60fps mode.

But that ps5 pro PSSR will no doubt be a hold back as i see very few devs make a fsr/dlss/pssr game like really sony why did you spend millions to make upscale tech on the 6800 when amd already has fsr 3.0 just sitting there.

I remember the ps4 pro patches that dwindle over time yes new games had the modes but they were not standard and that was without the base ps4 using another upscale tech.

Edit:

In tldr form devs now make fsr upscale for ps5/xbox PSSR upscale tech on ps5 pro game then dlss/fsr upscale tech pc version and we also have intels xess just insane workload

Eonjay38d ago

'Oh no kidding that "pro" model better have a 60fps mode.'

Perhaps but only if Capcom addresses the issues first. substantially more powerful hardware is struggling.

Furesis38d ago

I mean it's not helping but this is something more than that. Plenty of games with denuvo that work fine

just_looken38d ago

That could be also taxing for sure sense the ps5 also supports that dreadful drm

This is also running off the RE engine remember those re vids with the denuvo drm on/off

MrDead38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH38d ago

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…

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.

"Won't someone think of the shareholders!!" wwwaaaahhh

Eonjay52d ago

It funny with this news, their stock price took a small hit. But you know what... thats like too damn bad. We have to stop letting shareholders run the industry into the ground.

FinalFantasyFanatic51d ago

Seriously, you have to spend money to make money, I think some companies and share holders forget that, If you don't pay enough, you can't attract the best talent, or possibly even enough staff for the company to function properly.

Eonjay52d ago

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!

Darkegg51d ago

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.
