one last question, what are the most popular games in japan? I’ve heard stuff like blazblue and guilty gear and tekken are way more popular than street fighter and KOF. This true?
It is true.
But it is also true that some games tend to be more popular than others depending of the arcade and zone.
For example, there are arcades where Dangeki Bunko Climax is the most played game.
Arcadia was always very bogus with their rankings.
They used to make it look like SF4 was struggling and making it seem like 3s was doing better than what really is.
They used a “hit” metric, but they never really explained what the hell it was.
So with Disney announcing that they’re going back to licensing properties instead of developing their own stuff, does this mean there’s hope for a MVC4? I think with the critical acclaim for Avengers and everything MCU it could totally work, right? I think it’d gel well with Capcom’s plans for a game that can work as a platform. I’m prolly deluded at this point.
Yeah, they could if they had plenty of backing from Disney!Marvel… but this is Disney!Marvel we’re talking about. And hearing about how they were a pain to work with during the development of MvC3… game made some buck, but not enough in the eyes of Marvel back then. You think Disney!Marvel will want what they consider chump change back with their greedy asses?
Maybe if they were generous, but seeing as how they dropped Disney Infinity so damn fast (along with entire development team!) just because of a SLIGHT dip in profits.
I don’t think everyone’s necessarily “okay” with it, more that we’re begrudgingly accepting and adapting to it. Capcom still hasn’t responded to it so at the moment it seems we may be stuck with it.
