Well, regardless I'm very, very happy performance is solid now. Looking forward to playing this next year.

Discussing the technical hitches the studio has faced during Dead Rising 3's development, producer Mike Jones said that the team "got dinged" by the response to the game at Gamescom.

"Everybody online was freaking out around Gamescom," said Jones (via Capsule Computers), "they were like 'oh the frame rate looks sh*ty,' and it's like 'dude, we're still working on the game. We're still optimizing it. It's not finished.'

"That's the last thing you do, once it's complete and you have all the world built, all the missions built and everything in there, THEN you start optimizing. Then you start getting the frame rate up there, getting the performance up there."

"People have noticed," Jones continued. "I've seen articles hit the web just last week when we were at Tokyo Game Show, from our Gamescom build to our Tokyo Game Show build. It is similar content, and a similar area of the world so people who saw it at Gamescom and saw it at Tokyo Game Show were like, 'oh sh*t they weren't lying, they actually did optimize everything, and the framerate is totally solid now,' and we're like; 'See? We're not done, we're still working on it! Give us a break, there's two more months till we come out! We're human beings too! We have feelings too!'"

Thanks Videogamer

How dare those customers be concerned about the final quality of a product they wish to buy...

 

[Conan-san]

Give us MML 3 and EX Troopers and we might be willing to not be (righteous) asshats about this.

 

[Toki767]

Don't you have to finish the game maybe a month before it comes out?

 

[Ceadeus]

It's like, Dude bro cant ya get it?

 

[Silky]

Work harder.

Damn did you even read the thread?

 

[Rhiwion]

THEY CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

DEAD RISING 3 CANCELLED!

 

[Ein Bear]

Whilst it's great news that they've fixed it, it's not exactly common for a game's framerate to look that rough in pre-release media, so some concern was warranted. They're acting like every game is a choppy lag-fest at E3.

 

[HammerOfThor]

How do you expect people to get excited about a game when its running poorly? Maybe don't show it until its ready to be shown.

 

[RedNumberFive]

That added balance works miracles.

 

[TechnicPuppet]

I have been guilty myself of being a bit quick to judge some games. Especially when I don't really fact them anyway.

 

[robot]

My biggest worry is/was having to "optimize" to hit 30fps on a next gen console.

 

[Dahbomb]

Capcpom ain't getting no breaks.

You produce shit, you will get shit.

 

[King Beyond the wall]

The criticism was well warranted considering that Dead Rising 2 was a technical mess. Its one of the few games I have ever seen were the sequel looks and performs worse than the original.

 

[alr1ght]

Dead Rising doesn't have the best reputation for a solid framerate. Add that to a ported/rejiggered 360 game running terribly and people will notice.

 

[abstract alien]

Well, they said when first showing it off that they were working towards locking it at 30fps...and now they have. Capcom told the truth.

Guess we will see.

 

[Impeccable]

Leave Cacpocom ALONE!

 

[sixteen-bit]

Well since you asked so nicely...

 

[ezekial45]

Give us MML 3 and EX Troopers and we might be willing to not be (righteous) asshats about this.

What does that have anything to do with this particular game?

 

[Sean*O]

See we will keep cutting shit back and lowering the quality of the assets until we can make it run at 30FPS 720p on this hardware.

 

[Chamber]

He isn't really wrong. All the freaking out around E3 about framerate and jaggies on next gen launch games was a bit laughable. Look at the differences in Killzone and DriveClub.

 

[Wynnebeck]

With their history, they shouldn't be surprised people are jumping all over them.

 

[Tsundere]

Although, being locked at 30fps is nothing to brag about either. But good to hear it's running at the bare minimum framers the we'd expect from this generation.

 

[Killer]

Is that Phil Fish?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Same publisher I believe.

 

[SwiftDeath]

What producer talks like that?

I get he's referencing what others may have said but it's such a weird way of running an interview

Just provide the information, K?

Thanks

 

[MagiusNecros]

I'd say give them a break but the Framerate takes those frequently I guess.

Spoiler

That was funnier in my head

 

[Ceadeus]

My biggest worry is/was having to "optimize" to hit 30fps on a next gen console.

Ahah yeah. I think the magic appears once you get 60fps. It's what i'm looking for the most.

 

[Squishy3]

I wish they had said "The feel of 30 FPS." before they locked the framerate.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Good news, still doesn't change the fact that the game is dumbed down in a number of respects.

 

[.la1n]

I'd given more benefit of the doubt had this not been from Capcom, sorry.

 

[bigboss370]

pretty sure everyone calmed down anyways about framerate after TGS impressions, so this statement is kind of late.

 

[Caboose]

 

[PureGone]

All at the all the Microsoft fanboys supporting this guy right now then going into the DriveClub thread and trolling about framerate.

 

[ezekial45]

Same publisher I believe.

Yes, I get that. But those games and their productions have nothing to do with this particular title.

He just said that as a petty jab.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Wait, what? I thought core optimization began early in development? I vaguely remember reading that some developer preferred to get performance out of the way first. Might have been Igarashi during the development of Lament...

I don't think you know what an interview is?

 

[Warm Machine]

Optimization is always the last thing done. Game fans need to accept this.

 

[Nags]

Where is Cassidy? I need an explanation of why we can't get 60 fps.

 

[bryehn]

To be fair, most consumers are uninformed troglodytes that have no idea of how the development process works and a propensity for knee-jerk reactions.

wasnt final quality though, so their "concern" was unfounded at the time

 

[DeVeAn]

Sorry been burned too many times to give a fuck about "your feelings". Really every time I hear "we are still working on it" its release half done. SHOW ME a final product running solid and I'll buy.

 

[LevityNYC]

 

[chugen]

can't wait!

 

[TurboDonkey]

Game fans will never accept such facts !

 

[Shpeshal_Ed]

Santa Claus doesn't give any breaks.

Spoiler

my day one copy is ready

 

[Miles Quaritch]

can't wait!

The glass shattering manages to impress every time I see it.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Lol.

 

[Mugatu]

I hate this stuff, if people have a negative reaction then it's "come on the game's not even finished" but they would have no problem reaping the benefits of people who are impressed by something that ends up not making it into the final product.

What is it with the company whining lately? We as individuals are supposed to cry and complain, corporations are supposed to have spokespeople who stay professional.
