Do you think Capcom will jump in the F2P online Fighting Game bandwagon?

[CaptainGinyu]

They will. Capcom is like most businesses, they only innovate when they have to and if F2P is where the market is going, they will follow.

I do agree with Tataki, I’m sure Capcom will make it known which games people are supposed to take seriously and which games aren’t meant to be.

Like that one time when they let Japanese developers do an open world western RPG with DMC-lite inspired battle system and it turned out a really good game that didn’t sell well?

It sold okay, given that it’s a new IP. It’s not surprising that over half of all copies of the game sold were in Japan, which was the only country the game had a real advertising budget.

Come on, don’t tell me that “it’s a new IP” is a serious risk, I don’t want that to be the status quo nowadays…

They’ll definitely introduce a F2P fighting game in 2014. I’m betting Capcom All-Stars. But I think they’ll approach us in some scumbag way. It’ll be like Tekken Revolution, but more greedy.

Currently, capcom doesn’t have the money or the wiggle-room to attempt F2P, so we shouldn’t even worry about this.

Capcom doesn’t take risks, they don’t innovate

Capcom does a ton of things that I don’t like, but sometimes they also do cool stuff, like every company.

Agree 1005, Dragons Dogma is awesome, btw, from what i know the game ended selling well after Dark Arisen

And their fighting games, as mediocre as they may be to me, at least show that they understand what most people really want and know how to deliver it.

To me it shows mostly that people actually don’t really care as long as is Marvel or Street Fighter

Hey, they could do a F2P Capcom vs SNK 3

Spoiler

Card Fighters, of course ;D

1. Not sure how that is a legit risk and not them just doin’ their job, making a game that just so happens to be what you described. Nothing about that sounds innovative or risky.

2. Then that’s your opinion and I can respect that, cuz Capcom aint did shit cool in my eyes, in about 5 or 6 years. True Honesty, they legitimately suck now.

3. Yeah, Capcom really knows how to deliver what the people want in Fightin’ games when it is a hard fact that each Street Fighter and crossover they’ve made has sold less than the game before it. They sure know how to deliver dem crossover and Street Fighter games to Shoryuken.com members. lol

It’s nothin’ to find me defendin’ alotta the shit Capcom has done in the past that had me in a minority, but when it’s time to be honest, Imma be honest. And Capcom aint shit right now, they are 90% short sighted-fuck ups and 10% actual gaming company that wants to make games people can enjoy. I understand them folks be a company but Ga’damn, don’t make “profit over product” be so obvious. At least pretend like you give a fuck about what you put out there.

“Please don’t tell me the sky is blue”

Which means Capcom did their research!
