"Capcom explains why Slant Six was hired to create Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City"
I'll tell you why without even reading the article and even give you transcripts from the meeting.

Capcom wanted a call of duty type game with the recognition of one of it's own franchises and they needed some "Cheap" developers with Online Shooter experience to come in and make it happen. The guys from Lost Planet were not an option after the Financial failure of Lost Planet 2 although 1.2 million in sales across 3 platforms it was not good for Capcom.

You had some clown in a suit from Capcom holding interviews
Capcom suit- "we need a COD type game, FPS are all the rage on consoles so who can do it"
Guy who made Lost Planet 1&2 - " well we aren't doing anything"
Capcom Suit "You never did anything, that's the problem"
Slant Six guy said "we made SOCOM"
suit said "WOW Really now that's a franchise ...Oh wait a minute! which one"?
Slant Six guy "Ok Ok Ok well do it for cheap"
Capcom suit "great your hired you can work out of the Lost Planet offices as they are available".

Man, Socom: Confrontation was an absolute abortion. So many bugs that it makes Call of Duty look polished. I have to admit the laggy ass menus on that game did make me lol though!

n4gisatroll4771d ago

Maybe when it first came out...but today it's more like socom then what zipper is releasing this month. I think this may come out alright...but I really need to see something on it first before I say it's crap or great.

El-Fenemeno12134771d ago (Edited 4771d ago )

Makes me wonder what the other choices were. No hate intended lol, just wondering XD.

Ace_19754771d ago

The people making the game are giving it there all, Capcom have said they are working as hard as any Japanese studio. So give them a chance eh?, last thing they need is a bunch of piss ant gamers throwing negativity at them 24/7

sam22364771d ago (Edited 4771d ago )

"The people making the game are giving it there all"

So? Doesn't change the fact that it'll be shit. Hell, it already looks shit! You obviously haven't seen the magazine scans from a few weeks back.

"last thing they need is a bunch of piss ant gamers throwing negativity at them 24/7"

Go play Socom: Confrontation and the Socom games on PSP, then come back and say that.

TXIDarkAvenger4771d ago

You haven't played the game dumbass, so don't go running your mouth off saying the game is shit.

sam22364771d ago

@AnimeAvenger: You're right, I haven't played it, but I have played the devs other games, all of which are Socom-related and all of which are shit. Therefore, I have a right to call this game shit.

As I mentioned in my reply to Ace, there are magazine scans of the game on a couple of sites. It has all the info needed to come to the conclusion that the game will be shit.

ATiElite4771d ago (Edited 4771d ago )

Sometimes I work really really hard, I give it my all, I put forth maximum effort, hell i even break a sweat sometimes trying so hard.....but when i get up off the toilet all that is left is a steaming pile of shit....just like this Game.

ApexHell4771d ago

i will give them one more chance! but if they fuck it up then fuck them.

ATiElite4771d ago (Edited 4771d ago )

Hey buddy how about you buy me copy when you get yours so I can give them one more chance too. But hey if they fuck it up then we both can say fuck em (but at least that way we both won't out of $60 bucks) :p

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 :(

just_looken39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

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.

andy8538d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic52d 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.
