Dead Rising 3 will be locked at 30 FPS for PC * WTF Capcom

The PC version of Dead Rising 3 will be locked at 30 fps and Capcom invites PC community to unlock it by themselves. WTF, Capcom. Who does this shit at this point ?

PC Gamer

This is the most refined of the Dead Rising games, and with mouse and keyboard that makes the usually-tricky combat a little easier, this has all the hallmarks of a great port. Just not the framerate. If you're willing to forgive the locked 30fps—and I'm definitely not saying you should, if it's a dealbreaker for you—this otherwise feels like a strong port of a game that is worthy of a much bigger audience than that currently found on Xbox One.

Thanks for testing, consolites.

On the bright side? the game will hopefully be moddable so people can stabilize the game from 60 fps and beyond (most capcom games are perfectly moddable so...)

**** you Capcom, I was'nt going to buy DR3 anyway, but this is just another nail in the coffin.

I already ate that shitpile with a smile in Dark Souls and I don't care to again. This kind of extraordinary acceptance is reserved for truly stellar pieces of crap.

Whatever 30fps is fine

There will be a mod within one week to amend this.

Locked 30fps is better than 20 fps on average & drops to the 10's on Xbone & 0fps on PS4

I believe dark souls was lock at 30fps but someone from gaf fixed it . Maybe if he could unlock the fps for dead rising 3 if he wants to.

The framerate could be unlocked in Dark Souls, but it made the game very buggy and basically unplayable. I expect the same kind of problem with DR3.

There will be a mod someone will make to unlock this. Just like Dark Souls.

How was it buggy? I applied the mod and it was golden.

It better not drop for one millisecond.

It was reducing your parry/guard break/roll input windows to a half, I believe. The same problem is with DS2, too. It's much more difficult to parry at 60fps, as inputs windows in Dark Souls are boung to FPS count (pretty retarted things to do if you ask me). So fps runs twice as fast, therefore your input windows for parry/guard break end twice as fast.

Probably some quick events in DR3 are also tied to fps count so you only have half as much time to react.

lazyness

Owell its a great game and mods will have that fixed in the first day or 2

WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY LOCK FPS???

Modders will fix that, but the game is quite playable at 30fps.

A bullshit excuse for a lazy effort.

30FPS

60FPS

Interesting. I never experienced that though. I only played Dark Souls with the mod. I guess I just got used to the parrying and didn't notice it.

I give it one day, before modders fix this.

There will be a mod within an hour

@jhonMalcovich: Someone will unlock it to 60fps and then the game will play like shit on the PC. lol!! Most gamers have already played and beaten it on XB1. I wouldn't waste money buying it for the PC again just for prettier graphics.

That's really strange.....

Modders will fix this like always, can't wait to play this on a real system!

I don't know if it's so bad, somebody will probably make a patch to unlock the framerate. Been playing the first Dark Souls on PC. I only installed some graphics patch to unlock the resolution, didn't bother with 60fps.

Dark Soul had unlock frame rate and played fine

"and with mouse and keyboard that makes the usually-tricky combat a little easier,"

Easier? Word? -_- The vast majority of people will not be playing this with KB/M on PC.

Actually most gamers have not already played and beaten the game on xb1.

Modders will fix this, but I have a really bad feeling about the port quality of this game :-(

master race

@jhonMalcovich:

PC gamers will unlock it.

Most people don't own an X1...

60 fps DLC.

Capcom

'Nuff said.

I don't think even most x1 users have played Dead rising 3, let alone most gamers

Lazy port.

Lazy port.

Not really. Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter IV + and many other games are fantastic on the pc.

Hmm when I made a little game I was already aware that tying gameplay mechanics to FPS counts would be a bad idea. I can't imagine these professionals doing something silly like that, when there are alternatives in every free game engine out there that I know of.

And how long ago did they come out? Capcom's efforts on PC have been going downhill very fast.

Street Fighter games are still coming out. Resident Evil Revelations and a re-done (Ubisoft done RE4) came out not too long ago.

As far as predominantly console centric developers porting to the pc go, they are infinitely better than they use to be and easily one of, if not the best.

hermits should be called "divas" instead

go eat a Snicker you irratible bitches

@uninspiredcup: Yeah I think Capcom are alright when it comes to the PC.

Ha, Capcom trolling you guys.

Capcom just keeps getting better and better....

PC gamers are always begging for the things console gamers have. It's nice to see one of their petitions work. I must have missed that 30fps petition though. How many signatures did it get?

don't worry, we will get a decent HD version in 10 years.

luckily we have mods to get it at 60FPS earlier though. :)

It's capcom after all. Just wait for the inevitable DR3: Off the record.

So now when games get ported to the PC that means PC gamers made a petition for it? who cares anyway? atleast they aren't making petitions to keep games exclusives
