As reported by PCFocus, a Japanese insider claims a 60FPS performance mode is not planned for Capcom’s upcoming RPG. This report does not seem hard to believe when looking at official information surrounding Dragon’s Dogma 2. For starters, the title is now two months away from launch. Typically, performance modes are confirmed for games several months in advance, but Capcom has been suspiciously quiet about its frame rate targets for consoles.

The game’s current system requirements on Steam also list 30FPS targets. Capcom asks for a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU to aim for 30FPS, which is roughly equivalent, if not better, than the CPUs found in the PS5 and Xbox Series S|X. Being an open-world title, Dragon’s Dogma 2 will stress the CPU more than Capcom’s linear games. As such, the current console CPUs might be incapable of reaching the 60FPS target in this massive and dynamic open world.

If this is true it's an easy wait for deep sale. (Would reconsider if there's a decent 40fps mode)

Game doesn't look nearly good enough to justif not having a 60fps mode.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I'll cancel my pre-order if it doesn't run at 69 fps or above. /s

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

30fps??

 

[adamsapple]

 

[Pop]

If there isn't a 60fps mode, I'm not playing

Shame

 

[dreamstation]

Hope it stays as just a rumour. 30FPS would be a mistake.

 

[StereoVsn]

Action game like Dogma with 30FPS kind of sucks.

 

[tusharngf]

PC it is.. i hope my rtx 3080 runs this on highest possible setting

 

[abstract alien]

Shit. Guess I'll have an extra 70 bucks on my hands now.

 

[lh032]

game doesnt look that technologically advance to run games at 30fps only.
Hope they patch it later cause i only game on console.

 

[LectureMaster]

I don't buy it.

The RE engine is renowned for crazy good optimization and I thought this was the whole point that DD2 switched to it.

 

[BouncyFrag]

F

 

[Diddy X]

Lol poor console gamers, I don't see myself playing a game at 30fps ever again.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Damn it, and the previews look good. Ps5 pro launch update then.

 

[Damigos]

Vote with your wallet

 

[Bojji]

LOL, fuck that. That's why it's good to have gaming PC, you don't have to be locked in 2005 standards.

 

[Mattdaddy]

Ill be on PC but legit feel bad for the console bros. This one deserves to be played at 60. That stinks

 

[RavageX]

This falls under DGAF to me. I never care about FPS anyway, hasn't stopped me from ever enjoying a game unless we are talking bad emulation.

Try playing 30fps on OLED then. It will change your opinion. Complete garbage.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

If it’s a full-on ground-up next-gen game that truly pushes the boundary, I am fine with this. This is how it normally goes traditionally with big games on consoles that come mid-late cycle that take full advantage.

 

[adamsapple]

Well, I'm not *not* gonna play this just because it's 30 fps.

Hype too high.

 

[Danjin44]

Good….Bloodborne had frame pacing issues but that really didn’t stop me from enjoying the game.

 

[CoreyFlawless]

I mean, even when they show gameplay. Wasn’t it not running 30fps and dip every now and then?

 

[rofif]

Yeah of course.
No matter really. This really feels like Dead Rising animations which felt right at 30fps.
Heavy gameplay, heavy animations. Sure, whatever.
30fps is rarely if ever something to make me skip the game. I am not a fake gamer that is too proud because he discovered 60fps lol. I game for almost 30 years. Game is what matters.

That said - there is a pc version and rengine is great on pc. so I don't see a problem. I might even end up with pc version

 

[Arsic]

Before CP2077 came out we saw them cutting game features, odd stuff kept coming up, etc.

I get the same stink off this game. I don’t think it’ll be a banger on release l.

 

[March Climber]

Is this the first stumble?

 

[CoreyFlawless]

Then that’s a oled problem then. If oled was fine for switch and Zelda with its dip. Long the game is fun. It doesn’t matter

 

[asdasdasdbb]

See this is why the PS5 Pro is needed. There's enough 30 fps haters out there.

 

[Gp1]

Sad, it's the game I'm hyping the most at the moment.

But I'm playing on Pc so...

 

[Perrott]

If this is true it's an easy wait for deep sale. (Would reconsider if there's a decent 40fps mode)

Well, it's an open-world with no loading, dynamic time of day and weather, several AI agents of all kinds, destructible environments and in which you can summon a fucking fire tornado or a rain of meteors anytime you want.

I can see that being taxing enough for a 60fps mode to be an immense challenge, to say the least.

 

[Danjin44]

Is this the first stumble?

One thing I'm surprised, Apollo Justice Trilogy is using RE engine, We might see they do the same with Ace Attorney 7.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Went from wait for a sale to F off.

 

[Insane Metal]

It was bound to happen, eventually. These consoles CPUs are weak now.

 

[FeralEcho]

That's great,it probably means it's full 4k if that's the case. Couldn't give less of a shit about 60 fps as I always go for quality mode in my games.

 

[Barakov]

All this and at $70 as well. I was hyped when it was announced but this one seems like you might be better off waiting for a sale on it.

 

[FeralEcho]

Went from wait for a sale to F off.

Lmao you guys can't be serious with these replies Are you one of those elitists who jerk of in front of a fps counter ?!

 

[Jesb]

I don’t get it. The game doesn’t even look that good.

 

[Hugare]

Is this the first stumble?

It never rendered an open world before DD 2, so I wouldnt be shocked if it were the first RE Engine game to run at 30

I'm fairly certain it wont have a performance mode. I've seen some huge frame drops below 30 in gameplay videos.

90% of the best games of all time played at 30. But of course we will see the usual drama queens here.

 

[Bojji]

That's great,it probably means it's full 4k if that's the case. Couldn't give less of a shit about 60 fps as I always go for quality mode in my games.

Haha, I bet it will be 1440p at best.

 

[worldwithpyramids]

hopefully the pc port is good.... sigh...

 

[Kamina]

What, why? The game doesn’t look all that good graphically.

 

[March Climber]

Lmao you guys can't be serious with these replies Are you one of those elitists who jerk of in front of a fps counter ?!

After Monster Hunter World and Exoprimal both having performance modes, this potential news is not only concerning but also raises a question based on how their other games have handled things.

The only thing I can think of that's buckling the performance is the inclusion of multiple physics systems interacting with each other. Throwing a barrel into dynamite which explodes a rock wall, causing a waterfall that blows over trees, grass, enemies, and building structures, is no small feat for a game that's also running at up to 4k on current gen graphics(for Capcom).

There's a good reason why games like The Finals, Teardown, Red Faction Guerilla, or Bad Company a few and far between and I think the devs behind this game are finding out why.

 

[Skifi28]

hopefully the pc port is good.... sigh...

Games that are locked 30 on consoles this generation have historically not been a very good indication of a PC port being decent, but we'll know soon enough.

The drama queens are out because console players don't want games to go backwards after opening up the pandora's box known as 'performance mode'.

It's like giving a kid a shiny new christmas toy and then yanking it away from their hands.

 

[Fake]

Next gen was a mistake.

 

[Hohenheim]

Sad for those playing this on console (if true)

 

[MikeM]

Yeah of course.

I knew you’d be here lol

Auto PC buy. 30fps can go back to the 1980’s.

30fps didn’t become common until the 360/PS3 gen. Before than 60fps was more common.
