What tataki said, many of my favorite games from my childhood where made by classic capcom, who used to make great games, now they are barely a shadow, with a lot of crap decisions in all the fronts of making video games.
If this lets him greenlight a new Darkstalkers and get someone else in to make it because he’s busy doing that stuff then I guess it’s ok. (My internets is not liking eventhubs so I’m just assuming he’ll have less time for personally butchering series)
You can be grateful…that don’t mean you’re gonna like the shit they put out 100% of the time or even 50% of the time, you don’t even have to like them period.
I mean I’m grateful to Nickelodeon for giving us the Avatar series. Doesn’t mean I don’t want to hit them with an Ares Super every other time I even witness the channel though.
Darkstalkers 4 is inching closer to reality with Ono being in a position to call the shots.
But I’m gonna bug him for Rival Schools.
I just finished Devil May Cry HD last month and Ono was credited as lead sound designer. He’s come a long way in 12 years.
This, IIRC Ono doesn’t really get involved in the intricate, nitty gritty design bits of the games. That’s not his job.
Yeah, I know. It’s just kinda hard to imagine goofy old Ono sitting near the head of a table, deciding stuff for a company the size of Capcom. That said, I hope Capcom can change for the better with him as a CO. He’s spent a lot of time with us fans in the states, so I hope he brings some reasonable logic to Capcom.
@iambuttmustard Let’s hope he can bring some logic to that damn company. Seriously, as much as folks complain about Capcom fighters these days, there fine/fun enough to make money off of.
There problem is, they release the wrong games at the right time, the right games at the wrong time, certain fighters just wont see a release, they released 45% of their fighting games in the wrong order, and they released them all too fast and close together. As tired as I am of crossovers and SF, I did wanna see CVS2:OE at some point, but now they’ve made it impossible for reasons I complain about ALL THE TIME.
My complaints are almost prophetic; and I’m leik, Capcom, if I can see this, you damn well should be able to. Fools thought I was crazy when I said SFxT and 3S were gonna flop, the very day they were revealed.
Problem is SFxT didn’t and there are a lot of questions that need to be asked about the direction Ono had for that game in his pitch to the higher ups. Then look at that Remember Me, does anyone here actually care to remember about that game? Then now you have Sven complaining about the drop in sales for Capcom’s fighting game re-releases, but did anyone actually expect people to care about Darkstalkers Resurrection when the series itself had never been popular? ATM SF4 looks like nothing more than a one hit wonder for Ono.
Remeber Me actually looks pretty interesting but Capcom is doing absolutely nothing to get it out in the public eye.
I would have said you were crazy, too. I knew SFxT was going to be a hit. I mean, it still sold 1.8 million, not the 2 mill they were looking for, but I find it hard to believe 200k off was a loss for Capcom.
DS is big in Japan, hence how carefully CoJ watched over it and provided a disc release for the region. It had it’s own TV series. I notice some like to say the West took to Marvel series and ignored DS and the East took to DS and ignored Marvel series.
The moment I seen MVC3 sell considerably less than SFIV (even though it still did “well”), I said, “Uh-oh, here comes the 90’s all over again”. Now even Tekken and Soul Calibur are feeling the hurt. Hell, Nintendo said they were doing a new Smash and everybody was like, “So”.
These companies are just repeating the same shit and the crazy part is, Capcom has SO MANY fighting game franchises. Yet, they bombard casuals with the same two. Including all their AAA and digital fighters, how many of them DID NOT have Ryu in it? How long do they expect that to last, Capcom has literally spoiled the entire market and I hope Ono can snap some sense into those guys in Japan.
The fact that people think that how things are now are even CLOSE to the 90s show…they weren’t sentient in the 90s.
It aint on the same scale (times are different for games), but the same pattern is being repeated. You’d have to have been under rock since 08, not to notice this.
I don’t know why people keep bringing up DSR; Sven was talking about JoJo and MVC:O, Resurrection JUST came out on the 12th. That said, DSR probably isn’t gonna be a smash either, they waited too late. Nothing they release (fighting game related) after SFxT is gonna be a hit. Doesn’t matter what it is.
Street Fighter Alpha 4?
The JJBA port is atrocious.
We aren’t close to the 90s.
“It aint on the same scale (times are different for games), but the same pattern is being repeated. You’d have to have been under rock since 08, not to notice this.”

Nope, not even SFA4.
The only difference between now and 2008 is that Capcom is making new fighting games. For everyone else it’s business as usual.
If capcom makes a fighting game for Shonen Jump, with project justice music
