In February 2023, we informed you about the possibility of Dragon’s Dogma 2 running with 60fps only on PC. And it appears we were right. According to Capcom’s Hideaki Itsuno, the PC version is the only one that will be able to run at native 4K with 60fps.
As Itsuno told RGJ, the console version will have an uncapped frame rate performance of around 30 FPS or above. This means that the console version should be somewhere between 20-40fps. What’s interesting here is that there won’t be a capped 30fps mode. Instead, the framerate will fluctuate like crazy on consoles.
My guess is that Capcom decided on this uncapped framerate so that it can also take advantage of the additional power of PS5 Pro. Still, given the performance figures we’ve heard, it’s unlikely that the PS5 Pro will be able to hit constant 60fps. For this to happen, PS5 Pro must be 2X more powerful than PS5. However, I don’t believe PS5 Pro will be THAT more powerful than the base PS5 version.
Regardless of that, the PC version will also have an uncapped framerate. However, the game will run with 60fps if your PC system is powerful enough. Thus, we can’t wait to benchmark this upcoming title.
Back in November 2023, Capcom shared the game’s official PC requirements. These PC specs seemed a bit high, which may explain why the console versions are at 30fps. For gaming at 2160i/30fps, Capcom recommended an Intel Core i7-10700 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 or AMD Radeon RX 6700. Plus, these requirements were for the non-RT version of the game.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is coming to PC on March 22nd. Thankfully, the game will support DLSS 3 Frame Generation at launch. Thus, owners of the RTX40 series GPUs will be able to improve performance so that they can get framerates higher than 60fps.
Finally, as we’ve already reported, the game will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech!

how can they call it uncapped frame rate if you cant go higher than 60?
It means 30 FPS with constant dips below for consoles.
lol
Uncapping a game doesn’t make it magically go faster than it is capable of running …… A 40 FPS game with a 30 FPS cap will still only run at 40 FPS if you remove the cap. It won’t magically run at 60 FPS
damn, i lost some braincells reading that.
lmaoooooooooo, did Joe type this?
I’ve heard the PS5 Pro will feature the matrix cores of RDNA3, i.e. AMD’s version of NVIDIA’s Tensor cores.
This way, it will be able to take advantage of the upcoming AI variant of FSR, so expect Sony to advertise the 2X performance increase of the Pro model with AI-FSR enabled figures vs. the base model.
And once again it will be enough to fool the tech-illiterate, no worries there…
Let’s not promote Crapcom mediocrity that re-use assets from a 2012 game and call it a sequel , lazy companies that put limitations in their IP’s budget just to satisfy their greedy CEO don’t deserve any recognition or success or even money
The title makes it sound like it’s capped at 60 on pc
my first thoughts too.
Nope, the title would make it sound like that if it was “Dragon’s Dogma 2 will ONLY run with 60fps on PC”
My thought was also that it’ll be capped on PC. I don’t think we’re alone in that.

Mental illness
You got that right about your brain not comprehending to accept reality and keeps huffing hopium to live in your own delusional bubble , its time to shake that little brain of yours and face reality
Image is my comparison. I agree this is a lazy game with re-use of assets like someone said below.
The first Dragon’s Dogma 2 trailer I saw, I was under the impression for 2 minutes that they were mistakenly showing off the first game instead of the new game. That’s how much it looks like a copy of the first game.
There are tons of re-used assets. The monsters are 99% the same. The animations are re-used, the climbing mechanic is completely the same, the classes are mostly the same (except for Trickster and Warfarer). Even the terrain and height maps seems to be re-used. The only real difference seems to be the new story.
Capcom cut some content from the first game due to time restraints, this seems to be that missing content.
Yet this is being advertised as a brand new game, a $70 one at that. No one seems to be willing to point out the massive re-use of assets, especially not the fanboys.
Because anyone with half a brain underestand this is a terrible take. The game already has issues you can complain about without having to creact imaginary issues, and in doing so you´re just making yourself look stupid.
Wanna criticize the game ? Go ahead, criticize the 70$ price point, criticize only one save game, criticize the performance that dosen’t look very otimized.
Also reused assets? The game is in the RE engine, the first one was MT framework do you even understand the difference ? Even if it was the same engine we´re talking about a 2 generation jump. To even claim re-used assets like this is some sports game or cod is delusional.
Holy crap you are the biggest Crapcom apologist I’ve seen and worse than the resetera retards or twitter normies , once you wake that little coconut between your shoulders and realize Capcom now is run by greedy ruthless CEO that controls everything who because of him every talented person left the company you will understand this is not the same company that used to make actual games since their last good release MHW a game that uses MT Framework , no matter how much hopium you wanna huff to justify their lazy shenanigans right now current Capcom management SUCKS A*S and its run by western cucks who try to shove the most insufferable sh*t in our beloved franchises , Capcom Japan is DEAD long time ago and its now fully westernized company and controlled by freaks who try to push their political agendas for a quick ESG $$$ cash and they don’t care about their history as a company .. its dead jim just admit it
Apologist ? Because I don’t condone the game outright for some issues ? Is funny you say that MHW was their last good release, sure it was better than MHR but to claim that was their last good release is just factually incorrect no matter how you look at it.
Thank God, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to play the game at twice the frame rate of the average movie.
Reasons are starting to pile up fast:
-Sub 720p resolution
-Blurry textures
-60fps was a lie
All the reasons I bought a console for, mainly 60fps, have vanished.
Game is optimized for PC. RE engine supremacy!!
Requiring an RTX 2080 to target 4K interlaced (which is only 12.5% more pixels than native 1440p) and 30FPS average while looking like a somewhat dated game doesn’t really sound optimized to me. And this isn’t even with ray tracing effects enabled. Capcom’s had a pretty decent track record with optimization on all platforms, so it’s quite odd that DD2 seems to be rather lacking in this department.
Have any other games done open-world with RE Engine?
Monster Hunter Rise is all I can think of.
Hey there Shieftain, can you tell One90sGuru to unblock me? Why did he block me to begin with? He’s a nice person and I agree with lots of what he says. Maybe he blocked me by mistake?
No worries. I Fixed it. Welcome! 👍✨
Looks like he unblocked you. Isn’t it great when these things just resolve themselves?
Yep! 😁
Update: he unblocked u.
lol ill tell him shieftain wont do sht, he’s a stubborn selfish troll. I blocked that shtty shieftain long time ago.
its just another case of Crapcom fandom huffing that hopium and pretending that outadated engine that was designed to make VR games since 2016 is optimized when it barely pushes more than 128 arc-byte of physics which is far worse than UE4 early builds , btw RE engine is a modified Unity engine uses unity coding and pretends to be a new engine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY-fof4iEt0
so far the best optimized engines are Decima engine and 4A Engine and RE Engine doesn’t come near them when it comes to visual fidelity and optimization .. its a disastrous engine if people pay attention
I’d rather say given the recent “next gen” releases for the past few years, since the dawn of dx12, requiring 30s or 40s series graphics power only to produce stuttering slideshow when even the game is not proper open world; Dragon’s dogma 2 having 2080 as recommended requirements is pretty stable. And I’m sure with just a few setting tweaks it will be enjoyable enough at 1080p or 1440p at 60fps if you want to play the game. But being Enthusiastic and 8k maxing over everything graphics is another thing.
Except them recommending a 2080 for 2160i/30fps isn’t for a stable 30fps according to their own words:
One reason I’m thinking the frame rates are low are because of whatever awful new DRM they might be implementing in this game in addition to denuvo. Capcom is notorious for doing all sorts of stupid things when it comes to that. The biggest example is the DRM in RE8 that dropped FPS so frequently that they patched it out after a few months due to being pressured by angry buyers. And most recently they were caught silently adding some strange Russian-made DRM to some of their older games and only removed them after they got caught red-handed. They said that the removal is only a TEMPORARY measure as they’ll put in a new kind of DRM as soon as they find something less sketchy.
It’s too bad really. At one point, they were my favourite Japanese developers, but thanks to their practices (and lately adding pozz to street fighter 6 because they’re trying to follow western “progressive” trends according to leaked internal documents) I’ve more or less boycotted them.
Yes, I remember some guy buzzing all that stuff prior to SF6 release but hey, look what we’ve got instead! killer sexy ladies and a beautiful fun game. But yeah they’ve sort of… messed up quite a few things recently but Partially maybe due to the propaganda happening in the west in the first place. Still they respected the “cultured audience” at best so I’m sure they’ll follow it. Lastly, DRM thing is something I’m not concerned anymore since I only buy when its removed or unless I’m too hyped for anygame, which, in today’s generation is a diamond in the sand.
>killer sexy ladies and a beautiful fun game
Highly debatable. The only woman that looks good in that game IMO is Cammy. Chun-Li looks like she got a downgrade, and all the other female fighters look meh, with that one giant muscular one looking outright monstrous.
As for the game being fun…. from what I’ve played it’s better than SF5, but other than that it’s okay I guess. I’m just over fighting games ever since SF4, which was like 15 years ago. I bought SF5 because of my friends and got burned badly thanks to the terrible PC version at launch. SF5 being a barebones freemium-like game that launched with only 16 or so characters didn’t help either. In comparison, Super Smash Bros Ultimate on the switch launched with NEARLY SEVENTY CHARACTERS. Capcom has no excuse.
And the DRM thing should concern you whether or not you buy a game after it’s removed since capcom went back to add it into games YEARS after they launched. You just can’t trust them man. These days, if you’re going to buy a game from a shady company, either get a used copy on console, sail the high seas or get it on a deep, deep discount from one of them ‘grey market’ key selling websites. Don’t directly give them your hard-earned shekels, otherwise they will get emboldened and keep doing anti-consumer things.
Got that right. Let’s just see what they do. We’re getting Ghost of tsushima baby! Yeaah!!
Yep, I saw that. It’s too bad that Tsushima has a higher amount of pozzed characters than the last of us 2. Even if the game didn’t have any of those, I still wouldn’t get it because Soyny’s been on my boycott list since 2020. If you’re wondering why, it’s because this callous and evil response to someone who pointed out the awful rioting that happened in that year was the straw that broke the camel’s back:

They kept doubling down on their BS too:

Hey hey hey, Calm down dude! Chill. Look around. You’re letting them into you. Taking over your mind, That’s what they want. “Your attention”. Keep thinking about them all the time. Distracting away from your goals. It’s dirty capitalism rooted deep down the investors funding these corpos just for bagging money. Their ideology is volatile. It will change whatever is fueling them. You want to stop it, right. The only thing that’s gonna do it is ignorance. Find a better purpose, stop talking about it, stop consuming it and it’ll dry dead. Soon they’ll be forced to do what will generate money. That’s all.
lol dude, they haven’t distracted me from any goals as I haven’t wasted any of my time or money on any of their products for years now. That’s the magic of a boycott. It frees you from their mind poison. Also, I’m at an age where my moral fortitude is unshakable, so no limp-wrist video game company with their half-hearted propaganda can change my principals.
And I’ll never stop talking about it until it dies the death it so rightly deserves. Spreading awareness is how we beat the ideologues, being ignorant of them only empowers them as it lets them work longer in the shadows to gain more power. Always shine light in the dark to make the rats scurry away, for living in darkness only lets them inch closer to you until they take the collective jump to devour you whole.
hey cyan color wants you to unblock him, he says he agrees with all your opinions lol
hey cyan color wants you to unblock him, he says he agrees with all your opinions lol
Done. I think I mistakenly blocked him instead of someone else.
he’ll be happy to hear it 🙂
Will you actually be able to click on things in the menus in this one, or will it be another trash console port like the original?
As long as Capcom doesn’t put DRM on it, like they did with the RE revelations game which caused backlash in 2023 (thankfully they reversed it). However knowing Capcom…

If the only thing Japanese developers are able to do, is to release lazy console ports, cap games at 60fps and add DRM to every game, please just leave the PC gaming pace.
French early review. Ex serve (youtube). French reviewers are unapologetic when a game is bad. US reviewers sugarcoat issues, especially from Capcom, since Capcom in the US invites reviewers and pays for their trip, if you give a bad review, they won’t invite you again.
(The only English language Youtube reviewer I know who seems honest is Worth-A-Buy, and he’s from the UK and buys most of the games himself.)
“I finally got to play Dragon’s Dogma 2 … and I’m so disappointed.
Outside of the updated graphics, I have seen nothing new in Dragon’s Dogma 2. I would say it is worse than that, because unlike the first game, this game has issues even maintaining 30 fps on PS5.
You can’t walk 2 meters outside of a town without encountering hordes of goblins, lizards or griffons.
Visibility is very poor due to all the effects on screen.
One can not lock onto enemies. This leads to a lot of frustration. With the archer-mage, I was unable to hit where I wanted to hit, I hit the wrong enemies, and most of the time hit nothing at all. I never got used to the controls which remained very frustrating. When companions start attacking, it is impossible to even know where to hit due to the horribile visibility.
Many of the combos are so complex, that Capcom developers themselves were unable to tell me how to execute most.
The sound is another disappointment. How would you feel if an NPC walking behind you said the same thing every 30 seconds. Luckily you can disable the sound.
The environment looks nice, but there is no time to take it in, because there is constant fighting, it makes no sense. It means one does not want to explore, especially not considering endurance is limited and one is constantly out of breath.
The map is not very usable, and the menus are clunky.
The narration is mediocre. When entering towns NPC will run up to you, asking you to aid them, to find a small items, to help them find their missing children. The game itself has no compelling story, it constantly asks from us to save it behind every corner.
Another issue is that conversations often start out of nowhere, without even engaging NPC.
One can not walk over water due receiving damage. The explanation for this makes little sense, a Kraken has cursed the water, and is apparently omnipresent in the world, one can not even walk over small puddles of water without receiving damage. Enemies can also die through water, and seeing a massive griffon die in a puddle of water is….well, hilariously bad.
The game is extremely similar to the first. But 12 years along now, there are much better RPG than this game.“

Some more screenshots from another French review that show just how horrible visibility is. The reviewer said the game is simply unreadable during combat, you have no idea what you are looking at most of the time.
Imagine having to aim arrows at an enemy in that mess, without lock-on, in a game that can’t even maintain 30fps.
The only way to know an enemy is even on your screen is because of the shouting of your pawns, sounds the reviewer actually recommends turning off because of how unbelievably repetitive and annoying they are.
This game is far worse than the first game. And the first game wasn’t even that good to begin with.

3700X/3600X equivalent CPUs are no beasts but they are still on average what is just about recommended for tons of games released in recent years. I wonder what they are lacking or if the Series X and PS5 are really almost EoL already. I guess Zen 2 is already a dinosaur too now though
I remember Sony promissing 60fps at 4K resolution when they announced the PS5. Almost half a decade later and still no
Project management skills executed with the precision of a well-orchestrated marketing campaign.
Did you write it wrong, or who the f*k uses 2160i?
That’s what Capcom has listed.
Wow, that’s dumb
