Does that count for Mortal Kombat too? Just curious because most people seemed exited for MK characters

Quagmire4711d ago

Mortal Kombat hasnt been good since before a few shit games, the new one is Great.

So, DLC is only more than welcome, and also it hasnt been rehashed everyyear with additional content.

RockmanII74711d ago

"it hasnt been rehashed everyyear with additional content."

Are you talking about Marvel vs Capcom here because the last MvC game before 3 was made in like 2001.

Baka-akaB4711d ago

thank you , i never see complaint for mk dlc when chars cost the same

ApexHell4711d ago

you wont see a complaint because mk has way more game modes and content.

the reason people hate on mvc3 is because it truly is a barebone fighting game with barely any game modes. so when you see a 5$ character it just seems like a piece of content that should have been in there before.

but while looking at mk it just looks like a character that adds more content to the already content packed game so 5$ feels welcoming.

Hazama4711d ago

Also, NRS is actually releasing characters based on fan requests...I don't recall Capcom doing anything like that for Marvel.

Hazama4710d ago

@maiku is that your attempt at trying to justify this game not having any DLC? Saying that releasing a new one is giving us what we want?

Baka-akaB4710d ago (Edited 4710d ago )

missing sorely the point . People around here have been quite the hypocrites ... complaining about chars dlc whenever they can .

It's not just a MVC3 thing . Who can accuse Blazblue of lacking content , as an example ? It was already doing huge story modes and features loads of modes and extras . Heck they just even released the complete rebalance from the Cs2 arcade for free .
Yet complaint flyed around for their dlc chars .

Mk ? nothing , suddenly dlc is no longer a prob .. even from some people who did complain so far .

As usual this place's double standards can be facepalm worthy .

Mind you you i'm not complaining about mk's dlc , i just find that very intriguing . It pretty much highlight further that some people will whine no matter what , about the fighting games they dont like .

You mentioned MVC3 ? In a nutshell this will happens :

-no dlc = whine
-new dlc= whine , why are they dlc ?
-new disc = whine why not just dlc ?

This might aswell already been disconfirmed, Christain Sventson himself said that it was just a silly rumor
(he works at Capcom for those who don't know)

Not only a rumor, but a disconfirmed rumor is on N4G? bleh

disparage4711d ago

Exactly. Crapcom doesn't care about this game anymore, I'm really starting to believe they never did.

welle4711d ago

i didnt buy this....characters are boring.....No Nightcrawler....no Cyclops,Hulk looks lame,No Venom, and NO ICEMAN!!!!!....
In evry game there is Wolverine!!! ....I think that Iceman and Nightcrawler are cooler :)
Mortal Kombat its better in every way :) There is no one like Noob Saibot,Scorpion,Sub Zero,Reptile ,Kitana....and every other character in Mortal Kombat ;D

KonigNxt4711d ago

I would only buy another DLC character if they are either Batsu or Samanosuke. End of story.

shotgun_ps34711d ago

Please Capcom just announce Ken as DLC and I'll not buy any other game this year.

Krimmson4711d ago

Why do we need Ken in MvC? Seriously, just give me one legit reason why we need Ken even after you guys have Ryu and Akuma? Not enough Shoryukens?

Hey Capcom I want a remake of Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 on Switch or, maybe Switch 2. I loved both of those games on GameCube.

MeteorPanda8d ago

Good. capcom and square enix were my two favourite developers and now it's just CapCom! Square enix keeps missing the mark, their sparks gone.

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_looken58d 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 :(

andy8558d ago (Edited 58d 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_looken58d 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_looken58d 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.

Cacabunga58d ago

Capcom where is Deep Down???

Tapani58d 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_looken58d 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.

andy8557d 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_looken58d ago (Edited 58d 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

Eonjay57d 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.

Furesis58d ago

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

just_looken58d 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

MrDead58d ago (Edited 58d 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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH57d 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…
