They're "targeting" 30 FPS?

At least if you're targeting 60 you can fall back on 30, what the hell do you fall back if you're targeting 30?

Fixed

 

[Anteater]

Fuuuuuu

Targeting 30 fps. LOL

That sounds like it's running below 30 fps right now and they're hoping to improve it to that. Yikes!

Yea, that's what he's saying, the game is currently having slowdowns when a lot of zombies are on screen, that's why they're saying they're targeting at 30fps. It's in the OP

 

[-Horizon-]

30 FPS, eh?

Keep reaching for that rainbow, guys. lol

We'll get it right next next gen guys!

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Bad choice of words capcom. does not instill confidence.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Have you seen 60FPS?

Spoiler

Because it's nowhere to be seen on DR3

 

[Gbraga]

"Targeting"??

If games that straight out say "our game is 30fps" still have dips... Jesus.

 

[AngelsDontBurn]

It's scary that they're making it sound like a solid 30 FPS is going to take some effort.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

They won't lock 30 based on past DR games. Best they can do is ensure the drops aren't too bad...

To be expected though. This is them taking their engine into true open world with no loading during the game.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Oh yea, feel the next gen magic!

 

[Zyae]

30 fps is not "very smooth" it's a fucking slideshow.

Hyperboles!

 

[ConradCervantes]

Jesus Christ. I enjoyed Dead Rising 2, but this team can't code worth a shit.

 

[djshauny]

To be honest I expect more from next gen.

Thing is though the majority of people who buy the platform dont even know about frames per second.

They just want to play games, not framerates.

 

[BluePigGanon]

I think DR1 and 2 were 30 with lots of effects. They felt okay.

Sub-30 would be pretty lame.

 

[Pop]

What happened to all that cloud power

 

[McLovin]

Guys its gonna be cool, since its an exclusive they can just ask Microsoft for more power from teh cloud. Just have teh cloud render more of the zombies.

What happened to all that cloud power

Obviously its not live yet... duh.

 

[Chaplain]

Screen tearing is just as bad as Uncharted 1 on PS3.

 

[Killah]

Wait, DR3 is having performance problems? Would've thought they ironed out most of the kinks since June

 

[SonyToo!™]

Well Capcom have been saying they plan to switch to western style development after watching how studios like Ninja Theory operate.

IE more eyecandy comes first rather than a solid gameplay groundwork that's the norm for Japanese studios.

[Projectjustice]

Dat next gen power.

 

[TheRealTalker]

understandable with all the chaos/zombies/explosions happening all at the same time

 

[eXistor]

30 is fine, but only if they actually make that. Calling 30fps a slideshow is such nonsense. Can you even enjoy games anymore if you truly feel that way?

 

[boingball]

I don't understand what the problem is. Just put up some cloud servers, that should push the framerate easily to 30fps. Heck, double the number of cloud servers and you have 60fps. The infinite power of the cloud.

 

[Papercuts]

Why is this thread so hostile? Knack is made by the damn team with the system architect and is 30fps.

DR3 is completely open, has no load times, and asstons of models on screen at once. 30fps is fine, launch games aren't going to ever be the bastion of showing off system power. But I do completely agree that it shouldn't drop below that.

 

[Withnail]

Ambitious.

 

[GuardianE]

It's good to set your goals so high.

 

[Data West]

Killzone: 'we're targeting 60 fps'

Capcom: 'We're targeting the bare minimum'

Kind of says it all, doesn't it?

There's a difference between 'We've got the game locked at 30 and are targeting 60' and 'We're targeting 30.' The idea of 'targeting' 30 FPS is already saying that this game is going to run shitty like Far Cry on consoles.

 

[Gbraga]

I agree that 30 would be fine for this game, but they're not very confident about 30, that's the issue to me.

And I always say how Knack's framerate is shit, one thing doesn't excuse the other.

About 30 being fine, read above.

 

[Law Abiding Stranger]

From all next-gen launch titles this has the most questionable performance.

The drops were ridiculous and aren't improving that much.

They will probably need to scale down on zombies.

It's not even 30fps at times, that's the problem.

Killzone: 'we're targeting 60 fps'

Capcom: 'We're targeting the bare minimum'

Kind of says it all, doesn't it?

Those games are not finished yet?

 

[Elios83]

Targeting 30fps is like targeting to make it playable ^_^''
Not a really good situation and it's not like the game has this crazy next gen graphics.
Maybe the game just isn't ready and shouldn't be released this year.

 

[3rdamention]

They can easily reach 60fps with the power of the cloud.

Lol made me chuckle..Are they using the cloud at all? Is the game online?

 

[hellmonkey]

I thought the gameplay and animation looked weird at the E3 reveal. Something just seemed off, maybe this is it.

 

[Syntax]

Even 24 ain't that bad. Sorta. Right guys?

That would have to be the absolute minimum.

 

[cyberheater]

30 fps is not "very smooth" it's a fucking slideshow.

Moronic post is moronic.

Back to the topic.
I wonder if this well be the first sub 30fps (on occasion) next gen game when it launches.

 

[Ragnarok]

lol @ 30 being a slideshow. Ya'll motherfuckers is crazy.


Still, "targeting 30" doesn't sound great.

 

[Lunzio]

I have a bad feeling about this game as a launch title. Hopefully they can lock that 30!

 

[omonimo]

I think DR1 and 2 were 30 with lots of effects. They felt okay.

Sub-30 would be pretty lame.

DR1 & 2 has not 30 fps from what I remember, especially the second. I'm not expecting great changement in DR3, but it's surprising see sort of difficult even in a next gen title.

Because 30FPS is the bare minimum which most of us can indeed accept

BUT they can't even guarantee that

What was the last game that admitted having problems hitting 30FPS?

Because "targeting 30 fps" makes it sound like they aren't actually going to hit it. It should be a requirement, not a target.

Plus every video of the game so far has been like....15-20 fps. Not inspiring confidence.

 

[Gestault]

30 fps is not "very smooth" it's a fucking slideshow.

I think you may overstate your opinion. I don't describe broadcast TV and DVD playback as "a fucking slideshow," even ignoring videogames in general.

 

[Discusguy]

I'm ok with this. It'll feel more cinematic for a game like this.

It is hip to hate on anything X1 related

 

[Nightengale]

What happened to wanting the Call of Duty audience? /s

You won't get the CoD fans without 60fps.

 

[Paches]

So Xbone doesn't have hUMA after all.

I think you know why it's so hostile...

 

[Ryuuga]

So they're targeting 30 fps all the while targeting the CoD audience. Something tells me they won't be successful doing either.

 

[LCGeek]

Dat fuck you talk'en about?

Starting to wonder about most you with the 30fps bits.

A game running peaks and valleys of 30fps is not the same as game running 30fps flat. Which is why saying it's like a movie is beyond dumb. Movies don't drop frames ever while games do.

 

[red731]

Am I really reading it right?
They are targeting 30fps? Wow.

Targeting ##fps is really catching on.

 

[oVerde]

30 fps is not "very smooth" it's a fucking slideshow.

Well I fucking hope they do not only target 30fps because that sounds horrible.

This is not the Driveclub thread.
Boom.

Classy as fuck

 

[B.O.O.M]

I'm guessing this is an unfortunate use of a term like 'targeting'..because if they are still actually working towards hitting that..good lord
