I’m sure they will take your advice on board.
wtf happened to this forum? this is like a gamefaqs thread.
Lalalalalala, the game is breaking records, I don’t wanna hear anything else.
Breaking the records of lowest sales and biggest flops 
Lol, but no it’s true. Disney are currently taking more interest in eSports events, even to the point of thinking about hosting their own. It’s convenient that a likely eSports candidate is MvCI which is partially their property, and potentially their window into eSports would be the FGC, with games like Marvel and Smash etc. With their previous and current partnerships with Marvel and Capcom SFV would probably be invited to the party as well, so they’re already tickling each others balls at the idea of eSports being the next big venture for their business.
And Capcom are just hanging on by a thread, literally. Almost every game of theirs recently has been a let down and a major flop, if eSports doesn’t work out then what does that leave for the rest of the company? They’re either too afraid or don’t have the money to commit to making big risks by resurrecting old properties, but they can’t keep on living on Arthur, Nemesis and Spencer. So at some point in the end they’re going to have to take a risk or give it all up for something else, which they’ve partially done already by moving on to VR.
So to the future of fighting games and the history of Capcom it makes sense to me, as crazy as it sounds, for Disney to buy out Capcom and partner them with Marvel to give them the resources they need, for example more money to make financial risks, or higher quality teams to work on comic and cinematic adventures. I mean fuck Udon, they couldn’t even draw a bunch of sprites they had to do it twice over and they still suck, to this day nobody uses them.
Marvel on the other hand have been around for over half a century, they’re one of the biggest comic industries in the world, even one of the biggest cinematic industries in the world, and had they worked on the art direction and story mode for MvCi instead of Capcom, how much better would that have turned out? How much better of a game would it have been had both companies had a major role in developing something for what is Dinsey’s property?
It sounds crazy but to me it makes sense, it was sad to see SNK go when they got bought out by Playmore, but ten years later they were back in action and KoFXIII was a major hit, they’re being bold and committing to resurrect old properties such as SS and FF, and we need the same with Rival Schools and Darkstalkers too.
Think of Bandai Namco, Tekken being made by the same people who sell Power Rangers products, yet every game Namco put out is top top quality. It’s a fucked up mismatch of properties but it can work, and the same could happen to Capcom too.
Yeah Disney will tots buy capcom at some hundred(s ?) million(s?) they are still worth (for all their goddamn IPs at least plus the physical real estate and such…). So they can do better on the shoestring budget fighting game that isnt selling and even when the serie was at it’s peak popularity, still wasnt THAT big compared to non-fg AAA games.
Solid buisness plan.
As for capcom going bankrupt. They’ll dive right into full P2W mobile game before waiving a white flag. And by the way, we are angry now at their shitty DLC practice. Wait till they are desperate enough to try the lootboxe craze that is sweeping even sologames "Hey kids, wanna spend another 50bucks but this time directly for us, you’ll win some shitty alternates color, voicelines and maybe a nice skin "
Maybe they’ll even go the konami pachinko way before.
What capcom invest in esport is a pittance when compared to the mobas/overwatch/counter strike scene and yet they get the same hype, so far they arent risking anything with it and reaping huge result for those setups/winner purse.
So yeah, Capcom is still on the “let’s see how stinky we can make our shit and sell it in parts” until they get a real slap on the money. So far, even with MVCi failling, it’s not happening.
Capcom are worth $1.bil, Marvel were worth $4bil, Disney are worth over $90bil. If eSports interests them enough, and Capcom CEO’s are greedy enough, I wouldn’t be surprised if something like this went down.
Coming in 2020, Star Wars ESPORTS presented by Capcom!
Disney would never buy Capcom.
They can’t take responsibility of games featuring zombies, demons and scantly clad females.
It’s simply not the style of their company.
Don’t all of these things exist in Marvel?
Yeah. And they mostly don’t adapt those stories.
Also, the amount of “bright, family-friendly” stuff at Marvel outweights by one thousand the creepy stuff.
I’m at that point where I’m mostly okay with Capcom being acquired by a more capable/responsible entity.
I feel like the days of Capcom pimping Street Fighter/Megaman/RE/etc, like Sega pimps Sonic, are closing in.
There’s a Marvel comic out right now, set in the MCU, that features a zombie outbreak devastating the city.
Also, Netflix MCU, anyone?
Isn’t there an X-Men episode where Bishop goes into the future with Wolverine and the world is over run with zombies while the old aged X-Men fight the chaos?
That cartoon series is from the 90s. Disney didn’t buy Marvel until 2009.
Either way, Disney wouldn’t buy Capcom because it’s not worth it. Disney has tried to make its own games multiple times before. Most recently, Disney backed out of video games hard after Infinity died and is more than happy to license out their properties to 3rd party studios instead. Buying Capcom is worth more time and money than it’s worth, and it certainly isn’t worth it just for MvC:I. They are more than happy to just continue making money with TV/movies, which has been their bread and butter since the 30s.
Also. Disney buy thing that are selling.
They arent in the buisness of buying stuff that’s doing shitty and improving it.
I doubt Disney buy anything Japanese. They’re 100% American.
They probably don’t even understand the appeal of Capcom.
They understand for sure Marvel and Star Wars, though.
Coming? They’re already here. It’s just like Sega that’s likely how it’s going to stay and no company intervention is going to happen
Sonic Mania was a success, though. Colors and Generation also did well.
It took many, many years of darkness before we finally saw these recent glimmers of hope from Sonic & Sega.
No surprise that the game sidn’t sell well, and I can also sense the lack of enthusiasm for this game even on this site. People used to talk combos and strategies a lot back when marvel vs capcom 3 was released. If you look at the posting count for the character discussion, it is very low compared to what we have seen before.
