Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is so large that it "couldn’t possibly be DLC", the game's executive producer has told VideoGamer.com
Off the Record presents an altered version of Dead Rising 2, restoring the hero of the first game, Frank West, in a new "What If?" scenario. When the project was revealed earlier this, some gamers immediately assumed it would be a DLC expansion, rather than a standalone release.
"Perhaps it's understandable," said Jason Leigh, executive producer for Capcom Vancouver. "I think we've tried as much as possible to tell people that it's not DLC. This is a larger game than Dead Rising 2.
"We've done very little subtraction."
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…
Capcom Boosts Starting Salaries in Japan by Over 25%! Strategic move to attract top talent and align with industry trends amid economic inflation.
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.
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!
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.
This said during an age will full games can and are downloaded.
This being said from the representative of a company that regularly puts out new versions of full games often mere months apart.
That dog don't hunt Crapcom. Especially not with you guys.
Not buying. Dead island ftw :D
I Maybe would haved believed them if it wasn't fore dice and there Vietnam expansion pack . Now there layers in my eyes , on crapcom there should be a limit how greasy a company can be
"because simply doing a character swap would have been taken as a cash-grab"
A character swap, a mode that isn't that hard to put it, 1 area and a few weapons isn't? Borderlands put out a ton of DLC that had new areas, quests/story, types of mobs, etc and put them out as DLC instead of a full game for each one.
Capcom-ese for "Pony up bitches!"
They said this with the Move stuff for RE5 AND the move from SF4 to SSF4. This is Capcom's way of getting more money out of people. Crappy company, crappy ethics, nuff said.
