Capcom Going Broke, only $152 mill in the bank

[Sleazoid]

hey maybe now disney can buy capcom and make marvel vs capcom 4

[SNAAAAKE]

Yes xxxfactor plz

[Wellman]

No to Disney buying Capcom, one need only look how after buy LucasArts with the Star Wars franchise, they gutted all the development studios and internally developed games and sold license to EA for the next several years. Do we really want another Imperfects disaster?

I hope Microsoft doesn’t buy Capcom, because a)I don’t want to have to buy an xbone, and b) I can’t imagine it working out well for either party, as Japan is Capcom’s strong suit, and the Xbox is almost a non entity there.

Xbox has never has a presense over in Japan, but Capcom always has. It could be the one thing that makes Japan look at the XB1.

I don’t know, I think the Japanese would still ignore the Xbone as much as we did the Gamecube when Capcom was releasing great games for it.

Speak for yourself, I loved the Gamecube.

Did you guys know Capcom had a booth at NASA control center in Houston?

This could only mean one thing and one thing only. A certain someone is stranded on the moon. He needs assistance. Faith in Capcom restored.

It seems you missed my point- the GC was a poor seller. Yes, it had some really good games, but Capcom releasing gems for it didn’t make much of a difference, and nintendo owners seems even less interested in good 3rd party games now than they did then.

Oh! Well to be totally fair RE4 aside the type of game they put out didn’t really sell on any platform.

[LivewireX]

To be fair, when you botch something as badly as how they capped off the Wesker arc in RE5’s ending, well…it shouldn’t come as a surprise that some stuff Capcom put out post-RE4 didn’t sell that well.

I don’t give a damn about sales.

This guy is better than 10 Resident Evils:

Well Po, you could give a shit about sales, but companies do since having a profit allows them keep making more games, just saying.

[Blindknagg]

Then the solution is simple. Make all game companies state owned and funded by taxes and/or have prisoners make the next cod instead of car license plates Kappa?

[po_pimpus]

If you put out a good product, you will get your profit.

Making something just for profit’s sake never works out in the long run, hence why Capcom is in the situation they are in now.

[PresidentCamacho]

I thought RE: Revelations was actually pretty damn good, it’s a shame so few people gave it a shot. Capcom makes the sort of RE fans have been asking for, releases it on a crapload of platforms, and sales are mediocre.

[LivewireX]

Yeah, I’m actually playing through Revelations now, and it feels like such a breath of fresh air.

[DrellyFish]

Did you guys play Revelations on 3ds or consoles? I tried the demo on ps3. I liked it, but aiming felt way too loose, and I heard that’s not an issue in the 2ds version, just the consoles.

Not necessarily true and you know it, is more than just put a good product.
Also what is good ends sometimes subjective.

Bullshit.

There are countless examples to the contrary.

PC, you can use a mouse and have the screen that’s not 3 inches.

Mediocre sales for mediocre game… Nigga
