This is why i was afraid when mh4 went to the 3ds. Hopefully this won't happen with MH4

Abriael4611d ago

Unfortunately the trailer they shown at TGS looks nothing short of horrible, at least graphics-wise.

-Mika-4611d ago

I know. I hope i don't sound like a fanboy but i really wanted the game on the vita. Not just for the graphics but they could of done so much more with the game. Connecting with friends online would be alot easier. The vita would of been perfect for MH4. I just don't why capcom are releasing the MH games for the 3ds only.

Abriael4611d ago

@Mika: Sony commented that "Publishers of that size normally work on a multi platform basis" so I'm quite sure there's something going on behind the scenes.

Corax4611d ago

I must say Capcom That's pretty F'ed up how you don't make an original game for the PS3. The port you did for PS3 ONLY came out in Japan! I MEAN IT FING STARTED ON PS2!!! and did pretty well if not in america certainly in Japan. But I'm sure if i look up some sales it would be decent in both regions. I mean sometime I just don't understand what happened to Capcom. I mean they used to be in my top 5 companies to buy games from. now they are on my Sh!t list. GET IT TOGETHER!!!

rezzah4611d ago

I agree with Mika on this, still it is nice to have others enjoy MH, I rather be able to play without having to spend extra money on every handheld/ console.

Question: Is Monster Hunter 3 Portable still releasing on the Vita, or has that been canned due to 4 being on 3DS? http://www.play.com/Games/P...

golsilva4611d ago

i think it was more of adding the second stick support on vita for mhp3 but no updates have been given. I doubt its been canned because its only adding a certain feature to an existing game so basically costs will be low and obviously no matter what it will sell very well. Its probably not mentioned due to capcom trying to have gamers buy the 3ds mh game in december so that they are focused on that first.

Cloudberry4611d ago (Edited 4611d ago )

.
I thought you're talking about the PSP game "Monster Hunter Portable 3rd".

But this is the first time I noticed a "Monster Hunter 3 Portable"...

Unless they're the same game for Vita?

I mean, a PSP "Monster Hunter Portable 3rd" game for Vita updated with 2nd analog stick as camera control...

Godmars2904611d ago

Likely its just the site assuming.

Regardless, Capcom will probably release the HD version for PS3 they just put out and do another for the PSV.

smashcrashbash4611d ago

Oh oh. *ducks behind cover* Incoming!!!!!!

Monster Hunter Tri G was on Wii. The expanded port is coming to 3DS Dec. 10th. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (psp) has nothing to do with Monster Hunter Tri G in the series. This has nothing to do with PSP nor does japan care.

And this game is #2 on amazon japan while nothing for Vita (games or systems) are even in the top 100 after TGS. That is funny to me! No, hilarious!

http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/...

I have to go wikipedia for you noobs:
"Monster Hunter Portable 3rd is not an update to Monster Hunter Freedom Unite or Monster Hunter Tri. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd is instead separate to the rest of the series, and most of the game has been entirely remade." What part of that is so hard to understand?

Abriael4611d ago (Edited 4611d ago )

lol wikipedia. It even contradicts itself: On the mosnter hunter series page.

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd: "Based on and expanded from Monster Hunter Tri"

In any case I changed the title, happy now? Funny how some fanboys get reeeeally hurt about small things.

NESpower4611d ago

My point is shouldn't the graphic comparison be made to Monster Hunter Tri G on Wii? What does PSP have to do with it if it's not a port of a PSP game coming out on 3DS? But fanboy articles make fanboy comments. It's not rocket science..lol.

Chadness4611d ago

@NESPower: I think it's more of a handheld vs. a handheld. The 3DS is considered a "new generation" handheld over the PSP, so if a PSP game of the same franchise looks better than it does on the 3DS...that's concerning to me, personally. So, I can see how people in general could be worried about it.

NESpower4611d ago (Edited 4611d ago )

But why? And dont take this guys word for it either. This seems very odd that comparisons are made from a game not built from the ground up on 3DS compared to a psp game that was totally done for psp hardware. I hope he is talking sharpness cause it's freakin' obvious this game has more polygons than a psp game.

Please go look at sceenshots so you can see that this is a joke. This game looks better in character and monster models than psp. Just not sharpness? The Wii game was soft in appearance too.

You know what? Maybe it seems valid to you. I give up understanding the direct comparison..lol.

xtreampro4611d ago (Edited 4611d ago )

Shouldn't a Wii game ported to the 3DS look better than a game built from the ground up on a PSP? the Wii and 3DS are still technically better than the PSP so your argument makes no sense and is invalid.

My comment is aimed at your failed logic and not at the article. The article could be false.

Nice try though.

Knushwood Butt4611d ago

It's not possible to even make a reservation for a Vita on amazon.co.jp until the 15th of October, which is why it does not feature in any of the rankings.

Titanz4611d ago

Iets wait for sale numbers before we even consider MH 3G a fail.

Godmars2904611d ago

Don't think people are talking about it failing, but rather its quality. If it sells well it just means that the MH name sells.

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_looken44d 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_looken44d ago (Edited 43d ago )

Just putting up a pcgamer review

"its janky has bugs poor performance need lots of updates 89/100"

andy8543d ago (Edited 43d 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_looken43d 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_looken43d 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.

Cacabunga43d ago

Capcom where is Deep Down???

Tapani43d 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_looken43d 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.

andy8542d 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_looken43d ago (Edited 43d 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

Eonjay43d 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.

Furesis43d ago

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

just_looken43d 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

MrDead43d ago (Edited 43d 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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH43d 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

Eonjay57d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic56d 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.

Eonjay57d 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!

Darkegg56d 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.
