PlayStation players, be prepared to invite yourself over to an Xbox household this July, when XBLA scores the RE 6 demo two months before PSN.

CAPCOM has favored the 360 over the PS3 for this entire generation.

It must be some sort of financial deal between M$ and CAPCOM, considering how CAPCOM games consistently sell much higher on PS3 than they do on 360.

Megaman_nerd4488d ago

360 and Wii too. PS3 still doesn't even has a Monster Hunter game. ;_;

bakasora4488d ago

Another thing that pisses me off.

Optical_Matrix4488d ago

Is that why PS3/PS Vita get 5 exclusive characters on Street Fighter x Tekken. I don't think this is as much of a problem as people are making it out to be. Sony has secured plenty of exclusive deals this generation, as has Microsoft. It's almost become a tit for tat scenario.

Thanks Optical_Matrix! Bubbles

I dont think sony made plenty of exclusivity deals. I think they made some. I do agree microsoft made many exclusivity deals though.

But it does seem interesting microsoft has to go this low to establish exclusivity of a game in the form of a demo. I would have to lol this one.

Good thing I own all the systems and don't have to worry about petty stuff like this.

EDIT @ "Disagree(5)"

LMMFAO!!! Yes how stupid of me to be a gamer that has all the systems and plays what I want. Maybe I should be a winy fanboy instead. Oh wait, this IS N4Gs after all. Keep hittin that Disagree button fanboys LMMFAO!

jwk944488d ago (Edited 4488d ago )

owning one system doesn't make you a fanboy. It simply means that you don't find value in the other systems.

Tres214488d ago

not 2 get in tha middle but tht dont make sense @ jwk94 dats lik sayin if u hav more than 1 kid u dont find value in the others course i still hav my 1st boxed up game gear so i dont kno if i really count 2 hav an opinion.lol

ZippyZapper4488d ago

Hey is this an Aria 51 conspiracy blog? Oh wait nevermind.

OmegaSlayer4488d ago

Stupid thing in my opinion.
It only pisses off consumers.
This exclusives deals should stop whoever they favours.

maniacmayhem4487d ago (Edited 4487d ago )

When has Capcom favored 360 more than the ps3 this gen?

What has capcom done for you to say this? Considering that Capcom is going all out to support the Vita with its fighting franchises and gave the PS3 version of SFxTekken two extra characters (besides the the two sony pais for). Capcom even supported Home with their own space and clothing.
Capcom has done a very good job supporting both consoles.

Hell they even gave the Wii an exclusive fighter!

I think capcom isn't favoring anything, they only favor money.

Gonna buy these games used and not feel bad about it.

Screw you, Crapcom.

SKUD4488d ago

LOL. There goes MS's second E3 2012 headline. Not to take away from there main focus (kinect) of course.

Baka-akaB4488d ago (Edited 4488d ago )

Was into the game , so hardly buying it for a demo . Unless some tech issues arise , getting it on ps3 .

Wont be giving that much damn about a demo and two weeks of exclusivity .

Silly gameAr4488d ago (Edited 4488d ago )

Yep. Had my eye on this game for a while. Not sure what happened behind the scenes to get 360 exclusivity for a demo (don't really care) but I'm still getting it for PS3 too.

E: Actually, it's 2 months. If they feel like they need to do this to move 360 copies , let them I say. Time exclusivity is becoming a MS trait anyway. I guess they think it works for them to keep things off of other platforms even if it's just for a limited amount of time.

Baka-akaB4488d ago

I see , well still wont care . Anyone can easily try the demo at worst at their local store , if they dont have a 360 . And either way , it's a demo .

there have been a few ps3 time exclusives demos too

Lavalamp4488d ago

The MT Framework is a tricky engine to predict when it comes to technical performance on the PS3. It worked great for Devil May Cry 4, but not so much with Lost Planet 2. Since they've been putting out media from both consoles, here's hoping it's solid throughout.

firelogic4488d ago

The reason they did it is because they know the game won't sell on teh 360 without other incentives. Dragon's Dogma isn't a game 360 owners in general would buy.

Frankfurt4487d ago

The only RPG that sold better on PS3 was FFXIII, dear uninformed dude.

firelogic4487d ago (Edited 4487d ago )

Ok, what other JRPGs on both platforms sold well on the 360? hell, name any JRPG that sold well on the 360.

ShaunCameron4487d ago

@ firelogic

Well I see Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon. Tales Of Vesperia is the only multiplatform JRPG to date that sold better on the XB360.

firelogic4485d ago

They both sold like crap. Espeically considering all the hype behind "THE FATHER OF FINAL FANTASY" plastered everywhere for them. Vesperia? It never left Japan for the PS3 so congrats there.

Sevir4488d ago

MS worked out a Deal to have this!!! But i'm sure Sony prolly has this worked out to have Plus Members get in on the Demo the same time! So i'm not worried! if not 4 months extra for the full experience isn't gonna kill me! :-)

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.

MeteorPanda6d 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_looken56d 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_looken56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

Just putting up a pcgamer review

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

Man have we dropped that quality bar for acceptable performance/optimization

andy8555d ago (Edited 55d 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_looken55d 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_looken55d 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.

Cacabunga55d ago

Capcom where is Deep Down???

Tapani55d 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_looken55d 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.

andy8555d 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_looken55d ago (Edited 55d 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

Eonjay55d 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.

Furesis55d ago

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

just_looken55d 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

MrDead55d ago (Edited 55d 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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH55d 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…
