Dead Rising 3 PC "optimized" for 30fps. User can uncap at own glitchy risk. Cacpcom.

Yea if the game logic and physics are coupled to the framerate, no directx injector is going to fix that.
Me and a friend were planning on getting this for some coop fun, they've lost 2 sales over this.
Here's the weird parts about this whole thing:
-Capcom Vancouver did the PC ports of DR2 and OTR themselves, and while not drowning in options, they were well optimized and ran at 60 fps with little effort. They're not doing this themselves, which wouldn't be a major issue as...
-QLOC has handled many of Capcom's recent PC ports, which have been largely praised, especially for their work on DmC.
The engine must be too much of a mess to guarantee anything else, I think.

How many games explicitly "support" 120FPS? Doesn't stop plenty of games still working just fine at that framerate.
60FPS is not a "standard" PC "feature" or buzzword, it's almost always up to the user how to run the game. As long as there isn't a madatory cap, it's not that bad.
honestly the majority of Capcom ports are terrific. RE5, RE6, DMC4, DmC, etc
this is some bizarre unexpected let down, at least in terms of their wording so far. Same people who did those are doing this port too. Engine must be terrible.
All their MT Framework games run great on PC, everything else is a mess.
Speaking of MT Framework. Dragon's Dogma Cacpcom, where the fuck is it?

Game logic is the key part.
I'm pretty sure people are weirdly reading into '30fps animations' and thinking they'll look choppy because somehow the two tie together. If you're running a game at 120fps, it's not like an animation that has 30 keyframes a second starts skipping because there's no more frames to fill the space.

is there some kind of resource savings when tuning your animations/gameplay to the framerate? there must be some incentive to do this considering how often we seem to run into this issue with PC ports.

Ahh well, i was planning to set it up for maximum visuals and a capped frame rate anyways - despite the outrage over this, at least they gave the option to unlock the framerate despite the animations being 30fps.
What recently announced PC game got a free pass for locking things to 30 fps?

Those other games aren't on PC?
It's a PC port, and nobody buys PC ports for them to run the same as they did on less powerful hardware.

Well, there's a difference between targeting 30 FPS on consoles and locking it to that on PCs. Really doubt they actually meant the animations are locked to 30 FPS though but we'll see.
Even if it was locked the ability to play at 1080+ with far better AA is a massive boon on its own. Dead Rising 3 had horrible IQ.
Uhhh? What forum have you been reading? 30 FPS gets shit on all the time.
Yipes.
Well that's unfortunate- I do wonder if they needed to cap it to add more craziness on screen in terms of number of zombies, neat visual tricks, etc.
I also thought maybe they were building this specifically for the PC- but it looks like it'll be pretty straight forward port. At least we won't be experiencing frame rate drops?

So should I even bother going after the PC version, or should I just go get the cheaper Xbox One version?
Calling Durante, based Durante, you're needed in the capcom wing.
Do you have an Xbox One? If so, you should probably own this game already.
one assumes that if a game allows a high framerate the animations are tailored to it
an animation having half the frames than what the game is running at is jarring and can break stuff easily. it sounds like game logic is capped at 30fps too.
this is standard of PC games. You don't have to say it explicitly, that's why they say it when it doesnt happen

The PC version would allow you to play at much higher resolutions and at a stable 30 so its still many times better if this is true.

Sometimes you pay to win.
Others you pay to lose.
Others you pay to lose.
Makes way too much sense, so Capcom will never port it.

The fact that it was even mentioned makes me imagine this is a misconception. If the animations were actually locked then how would you do that?
it is actually. why the hell would you cap it at 30 when you can put it to 60? i understand limitations on consoles, but there is ABSOLUTELY no reason for it to be capped on PC. Its just pure lazy porting from Capcom

Still double the Xbone framerate.
Has the price for the PC version even been announced? I'd wait and see. Game is slated fo summer on PC, can't be that long.
On consoles? Those games are targeting FPS because they're working under fixed ceilings for processor power. How many games made for PC do you hear where the developers say they're choosing to limit the FPS (or anything really)?
And they are being lambasted.

I buy PC games because they look better not because they run better. Max settings 30fps for life. Turning down settings is for peasants. The lower class of PC gaming.

What's jarring about it? Smooth animation exists because of interpolation of those frames, not because every frame of the game is tied to a new keyframe.
Here's dota 2 running at 1000fps, it doesn't turn into some weird flipbook because the game doesn't have explicit frames of animation to turn to

The true upper class has multiple Titan Blacks in SLI and runs at max settings, 4K, and 60 FPS
