Dragon's Dogma 2 was running at 30 FPS on PlayStation 5, whomever this was uncapped

The game also has no peformance or visual modes on console.

While the gameplay was amazing and I can’t wait to get back to play more, there was one concern I’ve seen the community curious about: the uncapped framerate on console. When looking at this it should be noted that I’m playing a version which Capcom clearly states is “still in development, and is not equivalent to the final product.” But in this build on PlayStation 5, Dragon’s Dogma 2 was averaging around 31 frames per second with dips during heavy moments of action while playing with the PS5 set to output at 4K. I did not get to test at lower base revolutions or VRR during my time to see if that had a positive impact on performance however, if I had one hope, it would be that Capcom added more options in the framerate department including, at minimum a capped 30 frames per second mode.

RGJ confirms the game targets 30 FPS and above:

 

[Spyxos]

Most people prefer to play at 30 fps. So no problem.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

30 FPS is the best way to play anyway

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Just buy and tweak the PC version.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Doesn't matter, 30fps is perfectly fine as long as it's stable, couldn't even tell you the difference between a smooth 30fps versus 60 or 120. But of course the performance/graphics whores will be here any second telling us how it's better on their $50k PC. Like yea no shit, but some of us don't care about the differences enough to pull out a second mortgage on our house. Plus the PS5 Pro will run this just as good as high end PC's anyways in a few months. /s

Am I doing it right?

 

[R6Rider]

I'll be going PC unless there is a framerate option. Fuck 4k if it means 30fps.

Might be waiting a day or two on how it performs either way.

 

[Kuranghi]

No FPS cap? Absolute bongo-heads its the same in The Talos Principle 2, the fidelity mode is so much better looking but it barely ever keeps 60fps so I just have endure v-sync stutter almost constantly because I don't have VRR (or want it).

 

[Portugeezer]

Uncapped garbage.

No longer day 1 for me.

 

[Pelao]

30 uncapped. That way no one is happy.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Uncapped framerate that stays around 30 fps is certainly a choice. Isn’t this RE Engine? One of the easiest engines to get high framerates.

Is this an inside joke I missed out on?

 

[MagiusNecros]

I prefer a consistent framerate over something that teeter totters so this is fine for me. Combat really isn't complex like say Bayo 2 to warrant 60 FPS.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Now listen here you li--

[Mister Wolf]

Unacceptable.

Uncapped framerate ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

[Bkdk]

As long as pc version is uncapped, then it’s fine.

This is the first RE engine game set in a huge open world, though. I don't think any of their other games do the kind of physics calculations and world destruction like DD2 does. PS5 doesn't exactly have a beast of a CPU. I can't explain capcom's fascination with uncapped framerates though.

It's even more baffling for that game specifically because it has fucking horrible motion blur (or at least did at launch).

Absolutely terrible.

I was talking about the consoles, but I have no problems with 30 fps on the PC also.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

30 fps.

Awesome. Right back to the 1995 era of gaming where 3D engines were in their infancy and pulling off 30 fps on PS1 and Saturn was considered a smooth wow factor.

Congrats gamers. Consoles are probably 1000x more powerful than that era and we are back to 30 fps.

Only if the stick is a PS5

Meanwhile my cheap RTX4060 laptop I bought for $750 will play this beautifully.

 

[Topher]

That's fine, but you said "most people". Think it is pretty obvious PC gamers want higher frame rates than 30.

Only if the stick is a PS5

Give me a few.......I'm thinking about it.

 

[StereoVsn]

Most people prefer to play at 30 fps. So no problem.

I prefer 24fps for that cinematic look.

 

[Bojji]

So uncapped meant that's it's not locked to 30fps but averages around 31? Thanks Capcom!

 

[Perrott]

Is this an inside joke I missed out on?

No. The boss fights will feel more epic at 30fps or lower

Yes, wrongly worded, when I thought about ff16, Pc didn't even cross my mind.

Come on man.....we can do better than that.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

That game was more like 20 fps or lower. It was so choppy when I first played it and your guy is running around the castle, I rebooted my system because I thought the disc was skipping. Never played a game on PS2 with a worse frame rate, You could practically count the animation frames of your character running around.

 

[Mister Wolf]

PC it is, better to play this at 1440p@60 than 4k@30

No way this game is outputting a native 3840 x 2160 on console.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Not on my PC it won't.

 

[StereoVsn]

On a more serious note I can’t understand how people can now days deal with 30FPS on large TVs, especially if the said TV is an OLED. And of course cherry in too is bad motion blur implementation.

That legit makes me feel nauseous.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

At 0FPS you can roleplay timestop magic

 

[Alebrije]

This means Will be 40 FPS on a VRR 120 hz tv, right? ...Right.

Dragon's Dogma 2 will have frame gen support on release.

 

[Lokaum D+]

this is the problem with this mandotory 4k mentality on consoles, we could run the game at 1440p ( DLSS ) with high assets at 60fps, but for some reason ppl prefer to play at 4k with uncaped framerate and god knows how many assets are turned down to reach 4k.

i would say that 4k nowadays is a cancer in gaming industry.

@sendit Dragon's Dogma 2 will have frame gen support on release.

Yeah, but Nvidia dont want to support frame gen on my old RTX2060

 

[ungalo]

So now they can't even make a locked 30 fps game ?

Itsuno saying "around and above", the guy's full of shit lol.

 

[StereoVsn]

On PC, knock yourself out. In consoles - sure it will have it, any day now.

Opposite for me. 60fps on my OLED makes me feel nauseous, which I find really bizarre because it's a new phenomenon to me and I also have zero issue playing VR for hours at a time.

I tried to play that first ginger kid Star Wars game a while back and I had to dip out cause it made me physically ill.

1440p just doesn't give marketing guys hard-ons like 4K, huh?

Read past the title.

It's not consistent, it's uncapped.

This generation should really be 1800p as the maximum.

 

[mortal]

Seems like PC and PS5 Pro will be the saving grace for decent performance.
