Things continue to look bad for Capcom.

Maybe im a bit biased, but i would love to see Nintendo buy out Capcom, and keep them as a first party publisher. I say im biased cuz i still want a DECENT SEQUEL TO MY BELOVED CONKERS BAD FUR DAY!!!!!!!!!!

Drunk post?

Crapcom needs to take their shit together and make a new Megaman game.

 

[2ndApex]

MH4 sold really well so they're fine for now, but they're probably wishing they released that MML3 prototype :\

Except that some of the games they have made in the franchise were good. Most of the PSP and DS games were awesome, the worst ones were the Star Force games. The older Battle Network games, Megaman ZX and ZX Advent were great titles and franchises. Also WTB new Battle Chip Challenge game.

didn't like MMSF as a whole because the core gameplay was like being stuck in the backrow of MMBN but SF3 was amazing and made up for everything else.

MMZero = best Megaman series doe, and it isn't even about Megaman

I have this theory. Nintendo wanted to buy Atlus and let SEGA get it from them, despite being several times more rich. Why?

I see a future with Nintendo and SEGA as a single company. Merged.

Where am I going with this? Well, now let's assume Capcom hits rock bottom.

Nintendo buys Capcom and all it's IPs.

SEGA merges with Nintendo, and by proxy, Atlus becomes Nintendo's as well.

The DreamCube console and GameCast handheld come out.

Best gaming since the 80s and 90s ensue!



Please let me day dream about it happening. ;_;

Comcept needs to acquire capcom

I haven't bought a Capcom game since the MML3 cancellation, and they've continued shitting all over their fanbase since then. I hold no sympathy for them if they go under. The days of Ducktales and Little Nemo on the NES have been long passed, Oh there's an HD remake of Duck Tales? I suppose that's the equivalent of adopting an orphan and then burning down the orphanage with everyone else inside.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. Capcom, the golden age of Capcom I should say, are dead. They have been for a long time. But now, it's just all rehashes after rehash. And they fuck over their IP's that brought the fans in. It'd suck if they go under, but they did this to themselves. It wasn't the fans fault or anything. It was just shitty management.

I once read the whole bad managment thing began during the golden era itself as well. How many SFII re-released were there before they finally did a III? I think it was Inafune who said years, years ago the executives of Capcom don't understand videogames.

Which sounds like the current Cartoon Network executives, not understanding cartoons... Makes me wonder why then take over a company in a medium they don't neither understand nor appreciate?

Oh my god, that would be so freaking epic! Nintendo, Sega, Capcom, Atlus, all together in one massive video game company? They'd be unstoppable. And wouldn't need any third party support since they would have over 100 different IPs between them to use for games.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Protip making any third party dev a first party dev is just a bad idea. Especially Nintendo who, in this day and age, will rarely greenlight anything past a soft T rating.

 

[raulpica]

RE5 was ass, RE6 was even worse. Capcom kept alienating its fanbase, and now it's payback time.


RE4 was a good game, but THIS was heaps better. And it was CANNED as someone in Capcom thought they needed to get casual, have dynamic cameras 'n' shit and no more zombies.

You DON'T alienate your core market, or it'll bite you back on the ass years later.

 

[BAHIM Z 360]

For what they did with Resident Evil 6,Breath of Fire 6(Really? after all these years of waiting you decided to make it an online game?) and especially Megaman Legends 3....I don't feel bad about crapcom.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Why do people actually give a shit about zombies in Resident Evil. Virus, zombies, the two have generally been interchangeable. 28 Days Later isn't a zombie movie but people still praise it like a zombie movie.

It creates an effect of horror and that's what counts.

Also with the amount of zombie stuff polluting the market do we REALLY want another zombie game?

But what about Project Zero 2: Wii Edition and Zero 4? And Spirit Camera? Those are M and since Nintendo now owns Fatal Frame, they've been greenlighting it. Maybe the upcoming X will be also M? Or T, at least?

Shitty J-Horror games that bomb outside of Japan?

Moving on...

I don't know, the whole Spirit Camera promotion thingy had lots of people.

And I think Zero 2 is game in years that actually scared me. Most "horror" games nowadays (Dead Space, RE5 onwards, even Silent Hill) are basically action/adventure games with a horror theme rather than actual horror.

Same could be said about horror movies as of these days.

And I know there's those Slender and Amnesia games and scary but the former once you have an understanding of how it works, it's... Nothing really.

And I still don't see why people think Amnesia is creepy. So... yeah, horror games is pretty much dead. I think at least those Zero games tried harder.

The only Capcom game I've bought in a LONG while is Ace Attorney 5. Its the only series Capcom hasn't slaughtered.

oh no, I've jinxed it

When Phoenix Wright x Street Fighter comes out, I'm blaming you.

RE5 was a bad RE game... but it was a good game. It was more action packed yeah, and that was a shame, but me and my friend had fun with it. The DLC in Gold Edition was sort of creepy. Reminded me of RE4 a bit. But still. They can't make an RE game anymore.
