"Capcom made a surprise announcement at this year's Tokyo Game Show. Seems they've got a new "Devil May Cry" game on the way, but instead of telling the on-going travails of a white-haired dude named Dante, we've got a dark haired dude...named Dante."
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…
I aint tryna hear that. Its not good.
This is what happens from so Called ''reboots''
Dumbed down Gameplay for all the Mass so they can milk the sh1t out of it for the Newbies.
sad day for any DMC Fan.
because microsoft said that hardcore gamers are "Sweaty 30 Year Olds In Metallica T-shirts" and possible emos XD
"The truth of the matter is that the "Devil May Cry" games haven't really changed very much since the first game launched in 2001."
- Halo hasn't changed much since the game launched back in 2001. Yet the game is perfectly fine, gets good score and the fans love it.
"They've also been notoriously insular and nearly impossible to approach for newcomers, even at the easiest difficulty levels."
- Because the game is made with the fans in mind? Seriously anyone who played the first DMC could easily steamrolled through the second and beat the third no problem. The fourth was the next to the second the easiest. Not our fault you suck. Stick to Dynasty Warrior if that's easier for ya.
"That's not to mention the games' storylines, which are about as tough to follow as The Rocketeer after he's had a few drinks. "
- The story are not meant to be you're generic, ladies man save the the world from evil demonic bad guy type of stories. They are more complex with a lot of background story behind the characters which is what makes the game great.
"Frankly, they've hit a wall, and new blood, be it a western or eastern developer, is a good thing for a franchise that has fallen into complacency."
- Sadly this is coming from someone who is not a fan of the series and is simply looking for hits on their site. Get lost.
"The truth of the matter is that the "Devil May Cry" games haven't really changed very much since the first game launched in 2001."
I'm guessing this guy hasn't played DMC3. DMC3 introduced different combat skills like the doppelganger/royal guard/trickster, more diverse weapons like the guitar, and great, varied amount of boss fights. Also, DMC4 had Nero with his hands being able to grab enemies and jump over obstacles. He sort of had like a different fighting style.
And having a Twilight lead character is not helping the series.
The thing is though DMC isn't in need of a reboot, I was excited when i found out NT was going to be working on the next DMC then I seen it was a reboot and decided that if NT don't listen to the fans then i will lose all respect for them.
