Wow so we came to this point where anime games have denuvo :I well bad news to pirates 😀
TBH pirates still get the best version of the game, already patched + DLCs but with delay. on the other hand, paying customers get broken ports/early access games and have to pay +60$ for it.
Yup, so you got a crappy day one release with half the game missing with dlcs for 60 bucks. Pc gamers ignore that and wait till the price is low and the game is patched, pirates ignore it completely until its cracked with all the dlc.
Who exactly wins here? PIRATES, so DONT MAKE CRAPPY EXPENSIVE PORTS WITH DRM TO PROTECT IT FROM PIRATES, MAKE GOOD PORTS WITH GOOD VALUE FOR THE PRICE TO GET SALES FROM PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY BUY GAMES.
The idiocy these corporate suits have is mind boggling its like they never used steam in their entire life..OH WAIT!!
Worryingly the Steam page notes:
Supported resolutions includes 4K, 1080p and even 800×600 in various ratios. However, please note that the 4K resolution is upscaled.”
Erm, what? Heck, even the last game had arbitrary resolution support. How do you go a step backwards in that regard? It makes no sense to me in the slightest. One step forward with the framerate, and one back with resolution :S
Just really, really baffling TBH.
The upscaled part blows my mind a little. I mean, they must think that upscaling a 1080p image will somehow look better than native years from now, compared to native or at least 2-4k textures with DSR or native 4k res.
Well, it could just mean that the UI elements are upscaled beyond that resolution or something or be some communication/translation error from their Japanese office.
In any case, resolution is generally one of the easiest things to fix, whereas framerate can be finicky.
Though it’s just exasperating that arbitrary resolution support is something we should even have to second guess.
As long as it’s 60 and not locked at 30, I’ve no qualms.
I don’t think they would just stick to a UI upscale. That happened with Overwatch on PS4Pro, but not on PC for example.
The way things are today, having the standard or the current feature, is apparently to be marketed or sold as if it’s brand new. Just look at Ubisoft and their PC level marketing, hyping up 60fps and the like as if it’s never been done before.
Blizzard still does good PC ports, though, unlike most of the industry. Yeah, sure, it’s better these days than it used to be, but still……
Especially with how f*cked up 4K & HDR support is on PC right now.

Not to get into the that whole debate, but the image itself is hilarious. Just the juxtaposition of everything 😛
If Denuvo is the shield then UWP could be her castle i guess.
That my friend, is the most beautiful picture I have ever seen on this site.
Jez, did they not learn after the awful DRM Tales of Symphonia used?
if your perspective on growth of steam userbase is positive, you must appreciate denuvo unless you’re a pirate, so far denuvo made pirates struggle like never before which is a good thing
Or I just want games on GOG.
will the GOG version with denuvo suffice?nah because you want to pirate it, that’s why you want it to have no protection
i hate denuvo and i dont pirate anything, i wait for reviews or play it at a friends house who does own it. denuvo does nothing except punish paying customers. and its been proven by cdprojektred that if it wasnt for piracy, they wouldnt have sold as many units. Only idiots or people who praise anti consumer practices believe that DRM is a good thing. so which one are you? an idiot or an anti-consumer fanboy? you probably love preordering, hype trains, microtransactions, preorder exclusive content locked away in the base game, season passes with no description of the content itll provide and NDAs that hold reviewers from reviewing a title until day 1 release.
it’s been proven that denuvo has zero impacts on performance, that’s a fact, what cdprojekt zero said was only sympathy, you are a pirate aren’t you
It’s also been proven that Denuvo has zero impact on sales……
😮
when did anyone prove that?i don’t know games are selling more and more, steam is growing more and more, discounts are getting lower and lower and old games increased their prices, you tell me why all of a sudden most publishers increased their prices on steam, that’s right deunvo made pirates legitimate buyers
all of this aside, if denuvo doesn’t have any impact on performance (which is true) or sales (which isn’t true), what’s your problem with it?let me guess, you are a pirate, no that’d be too silly
The trolling force is strong in this one XD
“when did anyone prove that?”
I proved it by posing the sales numbers from steam spy since denuvo was first used on this very site.
The sales did not increase in comparison with games not using denuvo, if anything games not using denuvo had HIGHER sales.
“you tell me why all of a sudden most publishers increased their prices on steam, ”
The only one who increased it was ubisoft because they are jerks and now nothing about making money off pc. Most pc games dropped their prices, you could use that as an argument “denuvo is protecting game so the games sell and thus publishers decrease prices” but no, you insted took the corporate site of thigns and said “HUR DUR THEY INCREASED THE PRICES NOW YOU CANT PIRATE THEM SO THEY CAN MAKE MORE MONEY OF YOU MUHAHAHHAAHHA”
“That’s right deunvo made pirates legitimate buyers”
Said no one ever, i already told you the sales DID NOT increase due to denuvo, pirates did not even bother with games they could not pirate. ZERO increase in sales. denuvo or any drm method is not causing sales to skyrocket because there any mythical sales that are lost due to piracy since pirates DONT BUY GAMES.
HEY LETS MAKE ARKHAM KNIGHT AND DISHONORED 2 ON PC, SHALL WE MAKE THEM GOOD PORTS SO PEOPLE WILL BUY THEM? NOPE WE GONNA MAKE THEM RUSHED PORTS TO SCORE DAY 1 SALES AND FILL THEM WITH DRM TO PROTECT THEM, PC GAMERS WILL TOTALLY NOT IGNORE THEM UNTIL THEY ARE PATCHED AND THE PRICES DROP.
You are not a pc gamer you are a clueless troll.
the sales did not increase in comparison?which comparison, are you living in an alternative universe?how do you compare sales of one particular game before and after using denuvo?
“the only one who increase it was ubisoft”
you must be living in a fantasy, just take time and look at steamdb, it takes less time than arguing here, again you struggle to understand a simple issue here, more userbase means more potential sales, they’re not going to lower their prices, what kind of sane businessman would want to lower it’s profit?
good ports will sell on pc not doubt, it doesn’t matter if they have protection or not, then why are you bothered with denuvo, let them use it in every game
you are dealing in absolute, taking everything literally, signs of autism
Link please.
lololol oh you moron, when did i say performance? the way drm punishes paying customers is with the always online bullshit. what about the consumers with slow or sometimes no internet in rare cases, they cant play a single player game bc of stupid drm? does that seem at all fair to you? what about modding the game which become nigh-on impossible, is that ok too? and no im not a pirate unless you include emulation which IS LEGAL btw, the fact you want to witch-hunt and call anyone, who thinks drm is anti consumer, a pirate shows how unintelligent you really are. if i pirated something i would have no issues saying so. in fact my entire music library is pirated, over 185k songs. in terms of games though i havnt pirated anything, so if you want to keep acting like Ubisofts personal “pirate hunter” go ahead, you just keep digging this hole of stupidity for yourself.
always online?it sounds like i’m talking to a pirate, because i own every single game which is using denuvo and except for division which is an mmo, none of them are always online, again slow internet doesn’t matter since you only need to activate those games once and yes it does seem fair to me, modding the game is not an issue unless developers don’t want players to modify their game, again you’re not fooling me, i have no doubt you pirate games, i like being stupid
i honestly wish i could meet you so i can prove to you in person i have no pirated games at all and shut you up once and for all. and yes DRM usually works by having a verification check, not just once but every time you launch the game. While doom had denuvo i couldnt play it offline at all because of that, now i can…isnt that odd?
there are websites out there which buy denuvo games on a particular account and what they do (by the way, it’s whole purpose is to serve pirates) is that they tell their customers how to activate these games on their PC via steam’s offline mode, there’s absolutely no need to go online unless you change a hardware
btw, you ain’t fooling me, i know you pirate games
you know what, think whatever you want you f-ing a-hole. i know ive done nothing wrong and i dont need to prove myself to some sniveling little turd such as yourself, get a life you pathetic waste of oxygen
will do
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197980653190/games/?tab=all
I have over 400 games on Steam and 200 on GOG. Your assumptions are asinine.
all old trash cheap games assuming that account is yours. you’re not fooling me, i’m 100 percent sure you are a pirate to some extend
“all old trash cheap game”
killing floor 2, deus ex mankind divided. dark souls 3, doom, dead rising 3 with ALL DLCS.
“Assuming that account is yours. you’re not fooling me, ”
IT HAS HIS NAME ON IT AND HIS AVATAR WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT?
Fingerprint identification, DNA confirmation, vocal print recognition, iris scan clearance, & a 32-digit passcode.
Oh, also, a signed affidavit. Y’know, just for good measure ;D
it’s funny because those are the best games he owns (again assuming that account is his), there are websites which calculate how much your account worth, i have same amount of games and it worth far more
Pity account value =/= d*ck size, eh?
As much as you’d like it to be otherwise, that is.
Old games are not trash. Gamers who cannot appreciate classics are trash, sir. True gamers appreciate the games, and do not judge other on their taste in them. You’re a disappointment.
Good taste in games, Dude.
far cry 4 was cracked recently, piracy is inevitable so you dont have an argument. At least doom removed denuvo when the game was cracked.
Initial sales make the money for the games. Later sales are less significant. Games remove Denuvo when the license expires, not when it’s cracked. They only license the software for the initial release, generally, as that’s when they’re going to make most of their money.
But for how much longer? That’s how it used to be, exclusively, even, sure, but now? Tail end sales are becoming more & more important every season, as more & more people begin to realise that publishers aren’t about to stop releasing broken launch games “just because we ask them nicely.”
The industry’s “Box Office” model is going to become an antique relic if they keep releasing games in such disgusting states, & honestly, it’ll be a damn good riddance, really, as we should never have adopted such a moronic system in the first place, anyway.
Also, you’re still claiming that, but there’s still no proof. Has Lords of the Fallen, Arkham Knight, etc. lost its Denuvo protection yet? Not as far as I’m aware, & neither have any of the more recent Denuvo “protected” releases – save for the ones who removed it to get a refund, that is.
I agree with you. Broken games are a huge problem, and developers know this. It’s the publishers who don’t care, as long as they’re still raking in a profit. It would seem that several quick broken games makes more money than one really solid game, and they’re capitalizing on this. Luckily, we’re getting things like Steam refunds, and maybe they will rethink their models eventually, but it’s usually more about fiscal year sales than long term goals.
I don’t have any evidence of my Denuvo claims, so you’re fair to dismiss it, but from my own deductive reasoning, it seems to be the case.
Debatable – it would sorely depend on the game, IMO. If you drop a dozen mediocrities on people, you might make a decent return in the end, sure, but compared to the money you had to spend making them in the first place, vs. the money you spent making that one good game that keeps bringing in money over 12 months later?
Yeah, no.
U-Be-Soft might [actually be actively] make/ing some decent coin off of their copy/paste model & annualised IP insanities, but those games die really fast post-launch in recent times, whereas Rainbow Six: Siege is still selling strong, to the point where they actually even extended support for it into Year 2. Yeah, that’s overwhelmingly because it took off as an eSport, but it would have done rather well for itself in the end regardless, even if it hadn’t gotten a Year 2, really.
Fiscal Year/Quarter – indeed, & that’s the problem, their “Hollywood Box Office” approach that they cooked up in the last decade, & now desperately cling to like a bad rash. Some companies will undoubtedly continue to cling to that model for as long as possible, but U-Be-Soft is at least acknowledging that strong tail-end sales exist, & can be very useful for games that don’t immediately take off right out the door because they either launched to a mediocre reception, or mediocre reviews (ex. Watch_Dogs 2, Rainbow Six: Siege, etc.).
Others are still squeezing two FPSs together & claiming they won’t cannibalise each other “because they’re fundamentally different!” (*cough EA – Titanfall 2, Battlefield 1 cough*) but obviously that’s not actually the case – not that EA can be told different, of course, after all – they know best ^^ /eyeroll
Well, in order for it to be removed, Denuvo has to be patched out, right? AK (for example) hasn’t had a patch since the hotfix it got on 8 March, 2016, so unless there’s some kind of contract clause that dictates they need to stealth-patch it out once the license in question expires (or maybe the publishers try to do it as discretely as possible in order to not draw attention to such things, I suppose?), I doubt we’ll get any sort of full-frontal “in your face” style confirmations, to be fair.
far cry 4 was not using denuvo and if it did what of it?games will get cracked eventually, what matters is denuvo makes pirates struggle, i’ve seen many of them getting tired of waiting and ended up buying those games, steam getting bigger is not a good thing in my opinion but pirates getting eliminated is very healthy for PC
Alternatively, he & I both just want our games to last longer than Denuvo’s subscription fees will otherwise permit them to, as NAMCO F*cking Bandai is seriously not someone I’d ever expect to bother with a DRM removal patch, unless this one gets cracked in under 90 days as well.
But I guess that makes no sense to a console plebeian that’s well used to just re-purchasing games every generation, right?
I may be mistaken, but I’m fairly certain that the expiration of a timed Denuvo license requires it to be removed from the game afterwards, which is why games remove it after a undisclosed amount of time. It’s actually a pretty good system, if you’re not a dirty thief.
“Link please.”
Are you really saying that I should appreciate software intended to hinder modders and other tweakers?
And this idiotic notion that the DRM will get them the sales is…. well…. just that, idiotic.
That money would’ve been better spent in improving the game for PC. Now that would pay for itself for sure.
yes
You want to combat piracy so badly? Encourage developers to adopt measures that cockblock pirates in-game, like Arkham Asylum did, for example. Those measures work just fine, if not even better than some sh*tty DRM that’ll break down sooner, rather than later.
DRM’s aren’t anti-piracy tech, they’re anti-tamper tech, ergo, anti-modding, anti-consumerist tech.
it doesn’t stop crack scenes to patch it and more importantly it definitely doesn’t stop pirates pirating those games, i know they’re anti consumerist but it’s the only solution, do i like it?no, the only good thing about them is the fact that they slow down piracy
So they “slow down” piracy, & they harass legitimate buyers, but at least they increase sales, right?
Oh, wait.
harassing?you’re making this too big, i’m a legitimate customer and they never harassed me by assuming my gender
….. Wow, you can’t make d*ck jokes on the internet anymore, apparently. I guess this means I shouldn’t follow this up by quoting the Rules of the Internet? >.>
Anyway; well then I suppose congratulations are in order unto you, for successfully avoiding being harassed all these years by the various over-intrusive DRMs that have demanded anything from a constant internet connection, to replacing upgraded GPU’s with their predecessors “because your hardware configuration has changed.”
If only the rest of us could be as fortunate as you in such regards!
i’m not sure what’s there to be harassed by but thank you
OFC they didnt but the will after another crap port 😀
This is them learning probably. they are confident in their PC sales now so they are willing to pay maximum price for DRM and maybe caring more about the PC version. with how the majority count anyone that is against restrictive DRMs as pirates they have customers backing them as well (as oppose to Steam’s DRM that is basically a formality).
They learned to not to cheap out with VMProtect.
Looks like a PS 2 gaym in hi-res.
30 or 60 fps? Wow, so many options. People with hi-end nweedia gfx cards and 144hz g-synk lcds will certainly appreciate such an incredible amount of fps.
Enjoy paying for denuffo.
Sarcasm or dyslexia?
Y nut boath?
Wow, what a feature of the Elder Japanese god devs: a FPS toggle option… DX9 as well, game like it’s 2003 all over again!
You wrote infortunately instead of unfortunately btw.
Damn keyboard. Fixed
I think that’s the plural form of prepositional form of unfortunately.
Demuvo should be its name then.
That game was cracked and broke on release…. oh… you mean the other “crack.”
A comment advocating piracy gets upvoted on a PC centric website. Nice community right here.
He is openly saying it, “I AM A PIRATE AND I AM NOT BUYING GAMES WITH HORRIBLE DRM, I IGNORE THEM, I BUY GAMES WITHOUT DRM BECAUSE I DONT WANT DRM.”
What do you not get?
I understood it all? Where in my post was there a question? My post was a statement. I actually have a job and have an interest in protecting revenue without pirates enjoying a product I would have made. Denuvo is the best solution for the immediate window that prevents piracy, ensuring paying customers get first bid, with no repercussions.
” I IGNORE THEM”
Incorrect. He’s reaping benefits without paying a dime, as if he were entitled to it. You think that’s a great mindset to have on a PC-centric website?
“I’ll just wait for the crack”
What do you not get?
Correction: A comment advocating consumer’s rights to non-restricted access to their legally purchased products gets upvoted on a PC-centric website, because unlike the console plebeians, we’re not particularly interested in re-purchasing every few years. Nice community right here, don’t you think?
Denuvo has an online check portion to it, you know.
Consumer’s don’t have a right to a free commercial product, you know? “particularly interested in re-purchasing every few years” Don’t even know what precedent you’re referencing here.
Remasters.
Console kiddies get to re-purchase their games every few years because backwards compatibility only exists through sh*tty emulators these days on consoles, whereas on PC, I can still successfully boot up a game released in 1994 without digging up my old PS1.
No indeed, but we do have a right to long-term access to a product we paid for, as set forth by the Consumer’s Rights regulations, regardless of the bullsh*t companies like EA have been trying to pull for how many years now, classifying their products as “services” in order to get away with cutting off access to them at any point in time they desire.
Hey, could be worse.They could be advocating for layers of DRM, one of which gimps moddings, kills performance and has not upped sales on the platform in any way since pirates will not buy the game regardless with few exceptions like Total War Warhammer.
I also enjoy cracking games I have bought so they can run without Steam and I can make physical copies
DRM hurts consumers the most, stop defending it.
Dks3 doesn’t have denuvo. The company started using denuvo with Godeater. They don’t use it in all their games though for some reason.
Denuvo for this bullshit ? even if it will be free I won’t play it.
GOOD ubisoft is keep on upping the price on this game to get sales, NO ONE IS BUYING IT, nearly a year later it is not selling, ubisoft should get the message already.
dat denuvo.. haha but anyway im happy pirates dont get to play it. it dont affect me at all.. nothing. nada.. nil. great that pirates cant play it. that’s happy as fckk
They will play it for free as always. It’s a question of time.
pirates will actually play the best version with complete DLC, its sad but truth.
Denuvo is not just anti-piracy, it is also anti-modding. Modders will be very limited.
Because the last one was known for being as moddable as TF2.
And no one is talking about a game to game basis. The “protection” is what gets people upset. But to be against it will get you labeled by shills as “PIRATE! HE HAS TO BE A PIRATE!” immediately. It’s not like they want to discuss the merits of that crap.
At the end of the day, they want our cash and they also don’t trust us, so why should we ever trust them with anything better when they deploy DRM before the game is even out?.
developer will use tool that they are comfortable with. if their game have no performance issue with DX9 then i see no issue with that. also the game engine itself could be build for DX9 usage. not much info about it aside older tales tittles also using the same engine. it is not simply using new API but how developer can really benefit from the new API as well. but in case of tales even DX9 should e sufficient for the job.
just because the game use older version of direct x it means optimization is also bad. the witcher2 for example use DX9 when DX11 was the rage. and most importantly this game will also available on PS3 which primarily built on DX9 class of hardware. so from performance stand point PS4 will have no trouble running this game. and looking how this game look they don’t need advance stuff like GPGPU, async or even massive use of CPU core. if you ever played tales of zestiria on pc you will be aware that not even quad core cpu will going to choke the game performance even in it’s most hectic battle. this is not a type of game that very heavy on resource like some other triple A games out there.
yes, definitely, i have no doubt, yours games are old and cheap too
