So DemonicMember woke up this morning to press reports all over the Internet of angry people furious with Capcom about the new Nintendo 3DS game Resident Evil 3D, The Mercenaries. He clicked on one and skimmed it like a bad journalist would. The thought that a game company would go so far to try and prevent used game sales as to limit you to one game save made his blood boil.
So he jumped on Twitter and fired off an angry tweet at Capcom. “@capcomeuro Thanks for giving me a reason to NEVER buy a 3ds or another Capcom Game, 1 gamesave you cant delete? FU!”
Awhile had passed, He had company over and soon forgot about the game and his angered tweet. Then suddenly his iPhone goes off and Capcom has responded to him with a tweet.
Capcom Co., Ltd. today announced that in its consolidated earnings for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, net sales were 152,410 million yen (up 21.0% year-over-year), operating income was 57,081 million yen (up 12.3% year-over-year), ordinary income was 59,422 million yen (up 15.7 % year-over-year), and net income attributable to owners of the parent was 43,374 million yen (up 18.1 % year-over-year).
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.
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.
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…
So... He comes off as immature and as a bad host...? Lol. Good to know this isn't as bad as it sounded at first.
"So I rattled my brain for an argument to hold my stance and not admit defeat, one last chance to say HA! you are wrong! “@CapcomEuro what happens if somehow the gamesave corrupts?”
Sure enough they had an answer for that one too. “@GamingGhouls you get to start from scratch! Might be a way of getting rid of the annoying save slot issue?”"
So what does this mean exactly? If the author is here, please respond.
I know the one game save thing suxs. But theres no need to be immature about it.
Capcom are slowly and surely losing a grip on gamers. This is an issue rectified at the last minute because of a backlash. Their DLC practice and the now SSF4:AE is showing they do not know how to deliver to their fans anymore. I have well and truly gone over to Mortal Kombat this time and even purchased the worthwhile Season Pass, I would never do this for Capcom as they seem intent on constantly doing the fanbase over. My days of buying Capcom games are over, Western Developers have now surpassed Japanese developers in the Fighting Genre which was the last genre the Japanese were once the best at. So long and thanks for all the fish!
If corrupting your data allows you to start from scratch, then why not just let the player start from scratch? What does it accomplish?
I know what it encourages. It encourages people to try and corrupt their data. What fun. I'm sure in the search for a reliable way to accomplish that, someone's going to stumble upon an even more useful exploit.
Always thinking Capcom....
