Video Game General 2.0: Yo Dawg I Heard You Like Remasters And Ports

You are aware that Sega does huges amounts of money with their pachinko machines, that yakuza money, and no, i am not talking about the video game.

This conspiracy theory that jap gaming companies have "questionable"revenue streams has to stop…can’t they just be rich with honesty and hard work!

Yakuza is involved in every major business in Japan. It’s a proven fact. Some companies even have Yakuza pay-offs and bribe money as part of their budget.

Can’t they just fire Tsujimoto senior? Even since the early days this nigga has been making crappy decisions for capcom. If you are on the fuck capcom train just now, than with the shit capcom has done before this honestly should have been expected. This is why i am able to remain a fan of the IPs the company produces, because its same shit new day.

I agree with Martian. dmc was okay as its own game but slap Devil May Cry on it and it shits all over the series. These two are very different games.

On the Capcom buyout thing, the dream is for Capcom and SNK to use Potara Earrings.

“I am neither Capcom or SNK. I am SNKappacom.”

Bionic Ikari Warriors. My body is not ready.

Because he got them Yakuza connects, most likely. Wait until he’s light bringing in their monthly take… The Ninjas will get 'em, lol.

That’s what I mean… They find new and original ways to prevent their games from making any money.

Imagine the irony if Kamiya bought capcom.

I think Bethesda would benefit the most from buying capcom IF, I said IF, they do not get involved with the development process too heavily. I say this because of a few things.

  1. Bethesda needs a better stable of games besides “Shoot stuff”, and “slash stuff and do spells”, and the occasional licensed game title(see terminator games).
  2. That said about needing a broader stable of games, the ones they currently do own, just absolutely print money. So bethesda has deep ass pockets. Money is something Capcom needs right now. And lots of it.
  3. Whether you like their games or not, Bethesda is a solid company. Capcom could use new reigns while they develop new stuff. “Quit putting so much budget into that fucking cut scene.” “Stop pissing off your fan base” “You arent hiring 100 people a year anymore. Work with what you have.”

I struggled to think of a prospering Japan based game dev company that isnt in dire straits. Sure Nintendo is there but they are still having an identity crisis trying to adapt to the times. Plus their super strict media policies would completely remove Capcom fighters from EVO altogether. Probably even youtube as well. Valve cant have them because Capcom can count to 3. EA and Ubisoft are absolutely out of the question. Activision is too. I guess Sony could work out but I dont see that happening even in an alternate universe.

Okay you are wrong. Also The New DMC and God of War games?
All credibility is lost.

Nintendo not doing well.

And if that happens all of Capcom’s IP is dead. Sonic already has one foot in the grave. Only thing Sega knows how to do now is make releases of retro game ports.

As awful as his decisions have been it hasn’t stopped Capcom from making money. Most of the games they’ve put out have been successful. Capcom got the dough to build two new building for the sole purpose of having more in-house studios. Capcom ain’t hurting. They won’t force him out until they do.

They got to the skill tree - class changing names at the very end of the Treehouse, all gameplay stream by someone who did know how to play to breeze through it.

Ridiculous scale. Only as big as that dinosaurs toenail!

How exactly did Capcom lose all that money? I know they dropped some shitty games but they still sold well. Only main IP that flopped was DmC. Anyone have more info on how they got into financial trouble even though for the most part their games are selling?

Im guess theres something else hurting them

God damn does Capcom suck.

SFxT flopped even harder than DmC, There was also Lost Planet 3, Remember Me, both MvC3 and UMvC3 wasn’t as good as they hoped.

I think RE6 sold decently but they put so much money into it that it still didnt matter. They were expecting numbers greater than RE5 and they didnt get it. Asura’s Wrath, even though it is a really cool game experience flopped HARD. The kinda hard where people dont even know it exists until they see it in a bargain bin.

MVC3 wasn’t as good as anyone hoped :coffee:

Spoiler

Still buying it for the Vita. I didn’t outright dislike it, but the Ultimate edition coming out 9 months later has resulted in a boycott that hasn’t relented yet.

SFxT was their fault with DLC scandal. I know LP3 did bad. Had no clue on the MvC3 on rather it did good enough. I didn’t know how much cut they would’ve got for Remember Me, since they only published. But it was a solid game. But it didn’t help that it dropped during Last of Us hype release window

SFxT didn’t flop harder than DmC. It didn’t reach it’s sales goal but the game wasn’t a financial failure while DmC was. MvC3 sold over 2 million and UMvC3 got in additional million according to Capcom’s investor site. 2 mil is the usual Capcom sales forecast so MvC3 is a success.

The biggest thing that’s killing Capcom is their investment on the mobile market. None of the games they dropped on mobile have made a dent in any market.

I recall MvC3 doing alright, but Ultimate fucked it up because lol $40 dlc 5 months later.

Interesting few pages…

So anyway NPD sales results are starting to get put up for May

Watch Dogs is sitting at the top of the food chain for that month which is to be expected. Mario Kart 8 is in second. Wolfenstein and MLB also made the cut in the 4th and 3rd positions respectively. CoD: Ghosts is hanging on to the top 10 by a thread. The one title I wasn’t expecting to show up in the top 10 was Kirby…nice job puff ball.

Seems everything is doing well right now and better than it was last year. The system sales so far that have been reported are saying that PS4 is the top selling console followed by 3DS. Wii U managed to do 85% better than it did last year same month. No word on how Xbone is doing yet but we probably won’t see the impact of taking the Kinect out of the box and dropping the price by $100 until next month’s NPD.

Also another interesting tidbit…apparently Nintendo’s E3 presence was strong enough that 47% of tweets that were made during E3 week had to do with them.

Smash Bros. is serious business…no?

Also Bayo 2’s developer blog has begun for those interested

this includes being able to get a peek at Bayo 2’s 3rd trailer running at 60fps

If you want to dl the trailer and check out the buttery smooth framerate unhindered

website has also been put up

Think I like Bayo 2’s main fight them a bit more than Bayo 1’s at the moment.

I’d post up this info in the Bayo thread but I need to sleep. Anyone is more than welcome to post this in there though.

Capcom is in the same boat Nintendo has been in in that they still havent caught up to the online gaming age and even then i would say Nintendo has even been ahead of them in that regards. Look at pokemon and all the stuff they added with the GTS battling options and the like that are offered and thats going back to BW DPP and the like look at mario karts online options. Now I want you to look at SF4 and how barebones it is granted I will give them the +1 for their replay options which are some of the most extensive out of any game out. Resident evil, lost planet, and MVC (they really fucked up with MVC3 online) even their golden goose monster hunter have garbage online options compared to even the most mediocre of western titles.
