Yeah, I understand what you're saying. This game is essentially a return of an old classic, so Capcom are most likely testing the waters with a cost and time efficient budget title.

Watched the video earlier today and got my pre-order in. Maybe this has been answered already but do we know when it unlocks on the eshop?
I know and that shit didn't bother me when I was a kid. It does now though but I can adapt to it when games are good...ie Bloodborne. It still doesn't mean an inconsistent framerate is a good.
It's already playable here in Japan. You know, I'm never going to be a fan of this paper doll animation method, but the game actually looks really beautiful. The music is great, and it's just a ton of fun! Really glad this series is back. I'm going to feel real dumb when they release a physical version, though :(
Shame about the pockets of framerate drops. I might have preferred a 900p resolution for docked if it meant more solid performance across the board.
it's like in three segments? i wouldn't even call those pockets.
Enoyed that video a lot and the game looks quite good in motion. I would have probably preferred it 3D based originally, but the story book look makes it quite unique. I played Megaman 11 fairly recently, but it ultimately seems forgettable viaually. I applaud them going for something interesting here.
Is this game something that would be sharper at resolutions over 1080p, or is it essentially mastered at 1080p like Cuphead, so that running it higher would make no real difference? (assuming the timed exclusivity leak is true and it's coming to other platforms later)

I would assume that the only real difference you would see in motion is that it would likely gain AA on more powerful platforms to clean up the edges, even as John here does make a decent argument that the aliasing seems to compliment the art direction. I doubt Capcom afforded the team here the ability to do even higher-res assets, though what we see here looks beautifully detailed as it is.
60fps with a few dips is 60fps. Some people here and their framerate obsession is so silly. Regular ass people will not recognize this as performance issues. It is rare console games are a flat 60fps bar. We should not take people whining about this seriously.
Yeah, that's pretty funny lol
Stable framerate is super important to me. The ideas that I don't value a good framerate because I can accept an occasional frame drop into the mid-50s is pretty nonsensical. I honestly can't think of many 60fps games, particularly on consoles, that NEVER drop below 60.
I have yet to try this game, but I wanted to chime in and say that Ultimate GnG can be played at 60FPS on a hacked PSP, very easily. You just need to activate cwcheat plugin and get this under the UGnG entry (US version of the game only!) in cheat.db file:
_C0 60 FPS
_L 0x20457A98 0x42700000
_L 0x20457AA0 0x00000001
_L 0x20457AA4 0x3C888889
Then make sure to play the game using PSPs 333MHz CPU /166MHz bus clock, and that's it. It's really smooth with some rare moments of slowdown. Cheat must be enabled only while you are on game's title screen, otherwise the game will freeze.
If you want to be able to go back to 30FPS, also add this:
_C0 30 FPS
_L 0x20457A98 0x41F00000
_L 0x20457AA0 0x00000002
_L 0x20457AA4 0x3D088889
I hope John will read this, because I know how much it would mean to him :)
