Japanese companies are going through growing pains on the PC platform it seems.

They just don't understand it. From Bamco's terrible Dark Souls port, fixed by Durante, Koei Tecmo threatening fans about mods, and now this.

Please get it, Japanese companies.

Good thing the Dark Souls 2 port was good.

 

[goldenboy]

Having the DLC on PC is already a feat for many.

Don't sweat it.

 

[entremet]

Yep. Hence the growing pains mention. Hopefully, more of these companies mature.

 

[Deadbeat]

People were saying the graphics/performance took a hit. Anyone do any comparisons?

People were saying the graphics/performance took a hit. Is that true?

I got it playing at 4k and 60fps... So I don't think so. I also got it running at 8K but the framerate was 30 or below. Lol

I5 3570k, gtx770 4gb here.

 

[benjammin]

Fuck Capcom. anyone at the company who had any semblance of a clue quit years ago

 

[Megasoum]

My guess? The G4WL backend was what was actually adding support for multiple controllers on the PC version which means that now that this has been taken out the mod would not work anymore without G4WL.

GFWL was removed some time ago. Months if not a year ago.

You don't need GFWL to use either the Xinput API or the DirectInput API.

 

[Mechazawa]

This has to be spin because they accidentally broke it, right?

Even Capcom can't be stupid enough to maliciously remove local co-op from a 6 year old game. Nothing about that plan makes any sense.

Nope. Sectus is working on a mod and already has two players being controller with separate controllers.

The biggest issue is that the second players inventory seems to disappear between play sessions because it views the second player as a separate profile and it doesn't store their inventory anywhere when you save.

At the very least, GFWL wasn't responsible for controllers functioning to control 2 players.

Right...but G4WL was responible for profile handling though.

Yeah I know that co-op code wasn't "official"

I'm just saying, there's no way(hopefully) Capcom took it out to be dicks and not just because they accidentally broke functionality or I guess like you implied, to make the transition to Steamworks easier.

Anything other than "muahahaha let's take it out to mess with those fuckers/get that fat online co-op cash"

 

[deeptech]

It gives me the impression as if Capcom doesn't actually want PC gamers to play split-screen modes in their games. Do they want people to NOT buy their games on purpose? What the hell

Can't he put in code to make Player 2 save to a Player2.dat or something file? Seems like that'd be the easiest solution if possible to solve.

 

[me0wish]

The more I know, the more I get annoyed, the only reason I see why Capcom removed local-coop is to make more people buy the game for coop. No thanks Capcom, the main reason I didn't get RE5 when it first got out is because it lacked coop.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

People were saying the graphics/performance took a hit. Anyone do any comparisons?

In the +/- 10 hours I've put into the Steam version (20+ into GFWL) I've noticed maybe 1 or 2 hitches that weren't there before. None of them happened during any action.

Playing on max settings w/ a Radeon 6870.

 

[Nephtes]

Code unable to recognize two controllers on a PC?

Please explain Ultra Street Fighter IV... It recognizes two controllers just fine the last I checked...

I hope they don't take this same stance with SFV on PC.

"Want two players? Get a PS4."

 

[ProfessorMoran]

An all-digital future can seriously fuck off.

This has nothing to do with digital future and everything to do with Capcom being dicks because their RE fans would continue to support them regardless.

Stop buying RE games.

 

[eyeless]

i'm mostly just depressed by this, it's just a huge bummer, here's my post from the other thread

wow, so they straight just ripped the shit out for no good reason and have made it so modders can't even do their job for them? so i can't play this game splitscreen? they've made it unmoddable?

i don't even know what to say, what a fucking bummer, the fact that i have wanted to play re5 for months with a friend but decided to wait for steamworks, when actually what i should have been doing was beating the game before they could fuck the game up so i couldn't actually play it

i stupidly made myself have a frustrating wait and what i was actually waiting for was a patch that would fuck me over and make me unable to play the game, great reward after a long wait

great decision after great decision, capcom really knows how to endear themselves to the pc userbase

why can't some publishers just make decent pc versions and not fuck us over in weird ways time after time? would it kill you garner some good will, to be viewed positively by pc players? i don't even need you to fucking put splitscreen in, just don't actively wreck an already existing mod that did the job for you, i just want to be able to play the damn game

i'm just really fucking bummed that i can't play this game now

hopefully capcom will re-enable it in whatever way is possible, through their own work or at least allowing modders to do it as easily as they did before the patch. i just want to play re5 splitscreeen with a friend, i was looking forward to it for months. ugh. please capcom don't leave pc players hung out to dry.

 

[Parfait]

Lol, people still have faith in capcom to do anything right.

That tickles me

 

[Krappadizzle]

Capcom be high sometimes ya'll. Just accept that at this rate they won't be around in 15 years or so.

 

[Victrix]

Japan's lack of comprehension of modern pc gaming is... not good for their game companies.

Still waiting for GGxrd, I know its going to be a long 10 years, but I'm patient. "We are VERY happy with Blazblue sales that had blown away all expectations!! Stay tuned for more amazing news!" One week later, a port of a 6 years old BB gets announced, the decisions those Japanese companies make..

 

[Lafazar]

Reminds me of the worthless Pixeljunk Eden PC port that also removed local coop. Why have developers such a conceptual problem with local coop on PC? There is no reason for that, technical or otherwise.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Probably trying to get people to move on to RE: Revelations 2.

Where couch co-op also doesn't exist?

 

[Condemned]

Oh dear Capcom. Still no save transfer tool either?

 

[prudislav]

is giving a weapon to the partner still not working on new version??

They added it after we created some noise:

Well, at least the news is getting pushed on some sites. Capcom adding back the GFWL version is just pathetic, why not give us the game before "Ripped out the Split Screen code." happening.
