Opinion: Aris Bakhtanians’ sexist and offensive remarks during Capcom’s Cross Attack event kicked up a justified storm. Is an apology from Capcom enough, or should they and other fighting game developers take more responsibility?
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 :(
Just putting up a pcgamer review
"its janky has bugs poor performance need lots of updates 89/100"

Gameing bolt unstable frame rate rate below 30fps but that is great??????

Man have we dropped that quality bar for acceptable performance/optimization
a person's view on performance using a high end pc

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
@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
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.

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

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…
Geee... while we are at it, let's try to get the porn industry (another form of media) to apologize for "objectifying women"!
It doesn't really matter how ridiculous it gets. There will always be a very, VERY loyal band of supporters for this kind of crap. Anytime it's brought up, you get the same ridiculously fallacious arguments: the "human form" argument, the "prudish American" argument, and the "inverted double-standard" argument.
It's a community that at once loves to ogle and quietly subvert women.
Let me make one thing clear. Aris does NOT represent the fighting game community at ALL!!
He is one person (sub-human) who opened his yap and garbage spewed out.
my friends and I in the FGC did a face palm when he dropped those comments.
Why would you judge a community based off of what ONE person said? Please do not generalize a community like this. It is just very unfortunate that it happened to be on stream
So everyone in fighting game is judged in the same light just because some guy said some crap?! WTF. Sex sells. Is that so difficult to comprehend? Its like 2012 and that hasnt sunk in yet? Whats all this about complaining that female fighters are all exposed etc and male exposure of flesh is somewhat for a purpose? You want to see his penis or something? What the hell is this? Are you Islamic/Muslim or something? Such absolutley garbage journallism.
There will always be that one a-hole in all forms of competitive activities, whether it be sports or video games. Making the loosely based argument that some of these sexualized characters fuels this sort of behavior is weak in my opinion.
So the writer's solution is basically censorship. A cheap "band-aide" approach that doesn't address the real issue. This is b/s because this is no different than the media blaming the violent acts of a few on video games. Think about it for a second there.
Violent video games do not turn gamers into violent people. There have been many study's concluding that there were no links between violent video games and aggression. Of course most of we the gamers have known this already. Just as sexualized female characters do not turn gamers into a-hole sexist. There will always be people like Bakhtanian regardless of censorship or not. This kind of behavior stems much deeper and elsewhere than what the writer suggest is a factor.
