I don’t think anyone is trashing Capcom’s other efforts, but this is the FIGHTING GAME DISCUSSION FORUM and this thread is about their fighting games. 
I bet if they released Capcom Fighting All-Stars on PS2 instead of CFE it would have sold better.
Agreed.
CDL speaks the truth.
Add the fact that one of the original producers of the Street Fighter series has retired from Capcom and has formed his own company with another Capcom retiree. They are working on the new Dragon Ball Z game called Super Dragon Ball Z. Link here:
DIdn’t all the main fighting game designers at Capcom left the place a year or two ago? That should answer your questions.
As of right now, SNK, Namco, and Team Ninja (yes, be suprised that I put their name up) are the only ones making fighting games that grab more than 2 people’s attention. Yes, SNK reheashes sprites (all 2D fighting game companies do, in case you haven’t noticed), but at least the gameplay changes (for better or worse) and they are actually TRYING to make new games (they want to take advantage of their “second chance”). I guess you can’t rehash visuals in 3D games (which is why Namco doesn’t get these kinds of complaints).
I guess Capcom’s future with fighters is over. We’ll be stuck in the year 2000 for the rest of our lives (that is, until the Marvel, ST, 3s, and CVS2 scene fell off the face of the earth; then Namco will be the ruler of fighting games).
It seems that 3D companies show more effort in continuing their franchises than 2D ones.
I hope they don’t. I don’t want them to rush sf4 if they ever do release it. first of all, I don’t know where they can really go after releasing third strike besides 3D. so, there needs to be a lot of thought put into this game to set it apart from past sf games. second, i don’t want to see an update to sf4 every couple of months as we did with sfII or every year as with sfIII.
Yeah, but where the hell are they now, and does anyone know what they’re working on?
Umm
Its only acouple posts up from yours. Its not that hard to look when its that close.
as m121akuma and jae hoon put it, its cause the fans are never satisfied and then they suddenly realize that the game they were bitchin about isn’t half bad. by then capcom has already had it and said fuck it. i never played CFE but by not buying it, sales show that people aren’t interested and capcom won’t bother making more. just diggin our own graves shrugs
in the end, it’s a catch-22 deal if that’s the case.
capcom doesn’t have any shit to get anymore in the first place
You either didn’t read my post or you don’t know how to read. I clearly said that all of Capcoms games BESIDES their VERSUS games are not rehashes. Alpha, SF2, SF3, Darkstalkers, Marvel Superheroes, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Powerstone, Warzords, they are all different games.
The versus games are combining characters from all the games.
With SNK, it’s like, if you’ve played 1 you have played them all. True, they add something new every year, but it’s still the same gameplay. You can’t sit there honestly and try to say that the difference of Samurai Showdown 2 to Samurai Showdown 5 is like the difference of Street Fighter 2 to Street Fighter 3.
Now, use your brain before you post, or at least read the persons post you are replying to. And stop looking so hard for the opportunity to be an asshole.
Yup. It’s over.
That’s because SNK usually doesn’t make Samurai Showdown 2:Champion Edition, King of Fighters 2003 Turbo or Last Blade 2:3rd Strike. Street Fighter is like 4 series’ put in one (WW, Alpha, 3, and EX), and the VS. games aren’t SF games. Each on SNK’s series are ONE series of games, so the sequels aren’t going to drastically change.
Which means one thing: Your comparison was pretty poor. SS2 to SS5 is like NG to 3s (or the other way around).
Back to topic: I honestly think Capcom is done with fighters, which leaves SNK (not the most popular company mainstream-wise or tourney-wise), Sammy (who won’t release a true sequel to GGX), and Namco (who will eventually rule the fighting scene and single-handingly keep it alive). At least we still have Resident Evil and Devil May Cry to play.
CDL you have a vaild point but if your saying capcom uses different sprites for each of their series then u must say the same for snk games.
kof has its own sprites as does samuari showdown etc diffrent series different sprites if thats what your tryin 2 say.
Yea i know kof has been rehashed nuff but i dont see SF11 around and im sure capcom would not be bothed 2 update each time.
I wouldnt say all kof play the same either depends how good you are i guess on the surface it all looks the same.
Anyhow im not dissin what u said just puttin my pov on it :karate:
well roninwarrior24 u have 2 say aleast snk and sammy are given it a go:
NGBC/KOFXI/SAMURAISHOWDOWNT/GGSLASH/FISTOFNORTHSTAR
all these ahem 
new fighters comin out pepz should be glad in the age of the PS3 that new 2d fighters get made.
But really ill expect pepz to burn those games down like 2k3/svc/cfj so really when their are no more 2d fighters we will have ourselfs to blame.
It’s only natural to understand why fans are fed up with this bull$!!@. Although having a new Street Fighter game will be good, here’s why I doubt they will bring one out:
"Presenting Capcom’s latest incarnation of the Street Fighter 2 game, Hyper Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo X. In this game, what’s new is that Akuma, the hidden character of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, can now be played without a code! Also, he now has a super bar present from Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo:Revival! Use the Shun Goku Satsu as well! Other than that, nothing else is new! Everything else is the exact same thing from Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo!
Buy this game now for $1000! Why? Because no matter how much you guys complain, we still have fans who will support us no matter what!"
This is why there are no “new” fighting games from Capcom. Even if CFJ was considered to have decent gameplay, there is no excuse why a game can’t look good and play good, especially considering the small roster.
If Capcom announces a Capcom Fighting Evolution 2 which turns out to be the first game with only 4 four new people, yet fans continue to support and buy these games, I don’t know what to say.
You want to know why Capcom has been considered “lazy” for the past six years? All that I said above is the answer.
Isn’t Capcom doing kind of poorly now? I heard they have lost a lot of money. Capcom doesn’t care about 2D fighting games anymore; it’s not worth it for them. Besides…if they’re doing so poor, how can they afford to develop a game that has such a high risk factor of doing poorly since the fighting game scene is so small compared to Halo 2 scene.
i doubt that capcom will ever release sf4 since they are making new titles at the moment, we can only hope that marvel vs E.A. sucks so much that capcom hears about it and remembers how great MVC2 is and makes MVC3 or atleast make sf4 cause that’s all we really need
It doesn’t help that Capcom whored the SF name as much as they did. Instead of remaking SF2 so many times they should have just made sequels. Besides, SF isn’t going to be the kind of game to bring in new people the way it did when SF2 was still new. For the average people not being able to win after learning all the special moves and supers makes the game “too hard”. And the “average person” makes up most of their sales. Meanwhile there are other games with the an easier learning curve…
