Capcom is just the name of a publishing company now. I haven’t really played anything from them other than their fighting games since the early 2000’s. Didn’t even play most of their non fighting game IPs that were good. I don’t see them going bankrupt, but they’ll have to go through a transition like Sega did to get back to something decent. They’re definitely going to need a new IP that makes a big hit pretty soon though.
insert uninformed yet shamefully smug comment here
Not really. Irony implies a subversion of expectations.
Dragon’s Dogma
Who knows…maybe they’ll get desperate enough to add more characters (Gouken, Miguel, Y+Y, Leo) to TXSF, remove the gem system entirely, and call it Ultra Tekken X SF?
I think the DLC update bit is a great way to extend the life of a fighting game so long as Capcom doesn’t get their hands caught in the cookie jar again and leaves it all on disc. Adding a few new characters (minor) and some more balance tweaks (MAJOR, especially with characters like Hwo and Nina right now) is a pretty low risk/high reward scenario. You renew interest in the game, bring in some new audience members if it’s a character addition, and not have to spend too much money on it as it’s only a handful of characters and some tweaks.
Release Strider HD and Street Fighter 5 and I’m okay with Capcom’s death.
While Capcom recent downturn is well deserved and completely their own fault I still don’t want them to go under. They are still producing games I enjoy like Monster Hunter, Phoenix Wright and Dragon’s Dogma.
GO FOR BROKE
Pretty curious… I heard about this a couple days ago on /v/. Any chance this is going to affect the quality of USF4?
Either way, I’m kind of glad… Sounds like Capcom has been pretty damn greedy in the past and what better to repay them by not buying their shit? Which appears to be what people are (or aren’t) doing.
It has more to do with mismanagement of budgets and stupid expectations
The game is 95% done NOW (as in the copy of ssfiv you have right now). They really aren’t doing much for this u[grade asside from adding animations and porting graphical aspects…and tweaking existing frame data and move priority. They could have this in our hands by mid November if they wanted to. If ANYthing can botch the little work Capcom actually has to do, they deserve to fail.
Oh, so NOW all you niggas are on the “Fuck Capcom” train?
I don’t sound so crazy now, do I?
Maybe Warner Bros. can buy them and we’ll finally get our Mortal Kombat VS Street Fighter game!!!
Don’t go there.
Rival Schools
Darkstalkers
Viewtiful Joe
Final Fight
Dino Crisis
Power Stone
Saturday Night Slam Masters
MEGAMAN!!! whatever one (take your pick)
There’s a lot of series that didn’t get revived. And Capcom loves hinting at them to start up the hype train.
Streetwise…shudder
No Dragon’s Dogma 2 then?
cvs3 is the answer
Dragons Dogma was literally Capcoms gift to the world before peacing out, all the bad assness of real DMC and BoF in a sweet rpg. Damnit I keep forgetting capcom was behind that, DLC Dogma was pretty decent too, spiked the difficulty factor over dark souls head. Talking about dark arisen btw.
I just gave them a tenner today so they should be alright
