What is Capcom doing?? Dino Crisis, Power Stone, Rivals Schools etc.

[2 Up 2 Down]

Where is Dragon's Dogma II?

Hideaki Itsuno is working on Devil May Cry 5. Probably after that but he did say he wanted to make another Rival Schools, though

Monster Hunter (Has main titles in development)
Ace Attorney (Just had mainline and spinoff releases, only mainline titles localized)

Unknown status IP

Strider (Last title was three years ago, lukewarm critical reception)
Devil May Cry (Reboot was about five years ago, 4 Special Edition was about two and a half)
Sengoku Basara (no news after last spin off, not localized)

Lost Planet (3 "sold below expectations" and critically bombed)
Dead Rising (4 missed sales goal by over a million)

Power Stone (Last sequel was 17 years ago)

Commando (Last title was nine years ago)
Dark Void (Came out eight years ago, failed to meet sales expectations)



Failed IP

Deep Down (Panta Rhei MIA, still not seen 4 years after announcement)

Seeing that list and remembering all of the classic games (especially the bolded) they dropped in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s has a breh like
It's hard to watch a company you love fall of this hard.

They're still shyt. Mh saved their asses

they were doing good even before World dropped.
What makes them shyt?

What makes them shyt?

They dropped so many good franchises that had potential, they rebooted dmc against the fanbase wishes, mvci is a fukking abomination, and if it wasn't for the last resi they would have ran that shyt into the ground

 

[Just like bruddas]

it's sad because capcom has so much piff in their closet, like onimusha would cause shockwaves through the industry.

I think a lot has to do with titles not selling, development of games take a lot of time money and manpower, and nobody proposing a good enough idea for a dormant IP.

As far as Resident Evil, RE6 was it's highest selling title and they could've easily kept on the same path but creatively they took a gamble with 7 to bring it closer to the series' roots. In my opinion that is a good sign and I don't think too many companies would make that decision.

DmC sold well and had good reviews
Capcom got the next Devil May Cry developed in-house and from the rumors it sounds dope and got game hype

 

[Amor fati]

Too busy milking on RE(wack releases at that) and SF. Similar issue like Konami, and sometimes Square-Enix doing dumbshyt.

That moment when EX comes back before Darkstalkers and Rival Schools

Man is it a good time to be a Street Fighter EX series fan


Fukk Capcom

 

[Brian O'Conner]

Its not only games they have movie and tv franchises off those names also, mega man cartoon was my shyt and i think the original street fighter 2 cartoon movie was the first anime I ever watched

To hell with their self-destructive business moves.

 

[Slystallion]

I miss powerstone so much...whatever happened to the poster who made his own game that paid homage to powerstone how did it turn out?

 

[KravenMorehead™]

Rival Schools>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Street Fighter/Tekken.

Stop.

Just give it props and keep it moving.

real shyt

 

[KravenMorehead™]

Those ragging on Rival Schools probably never fully played it competitively. The mechanics and fighting system are years ahead of its time. I feel the same about Bloody Roar.

now THAT needs to make a comeback
