What's the current consensus on Capcom?
they peaked around PS1 - Dreamcast. now they are shit and their last good game was RE4
>>337298954
>Monster Hunter
>>337298954
This
I hate them but once in a while they do something amazing like Dragon's Dogma.
>>337298832
They will ruin REmake 2 and I will piss on their grave.
Who knows? Honestly at this point, they are kind of a wild card in some areas. Dragon's Dogma pretty much came out of nowhere and was pretty decent, if flawed. Monster Hunter is consistent since it has little to no executive meddling.
One this is sure, I will never forgive them for DmC.
>>337298832
fuck them and fuck Dual Destinies
We're still waiting for Capcom to release a big game. They're probably still recovering from near bankruptcy. I think they're getting stable again but they're still pretty poor at the time. I doubt anything big will be announced this year. We are probably getting some rerelease yet again. Resident Evil 6 basically completely fucked them over so we won't see Resident Evil 7 anytime soon.
I only care about Dragon's Dogma, Dead Rising and Ace Attorney. Ace Attorney going full digital is shit but at least we get it. The rest of what they release I feel apathetic towards. What they did with sf5 launch is pathetic but retards will eat it up anyway so who cares.
With the success of the Souls games i wonder why they haven't brought back Ghosts 'n Goblins.
>>337298832
Dead.
They're not good again yet, but you can tell they're at least trying.
>>337298832
They really need to win back my trust. But it wouldn't be impossible.
>>337300283
capcom being bankrupt is a huge meme. Just because they don't see certain games as being worth making doesn't mean they don't have money, it just means they don't want to take risks.
Have you ever even looked at their financial releases, or are you just parroting something you read on /v/ a few years ago?
http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/
^go ahead, try and find anything relating to them being close to bankrupt in the past.
They are doing better, I loved Dragon's Dogma on PC.
>>337298832
Got a neat bundle right now.
>there were nintendrones that thought nintendo was gonna buyout capcom
>>337300771
PS4 port when.
What are they, /v/?
>>337300394
Because fags would not be able to finish it, just image Ghouls' difficulty in a DaS-esque game. It would require them to git gud and we can't have that in this instant gratification generation
>>337300394
If they could do for G'n'G what they did for Bionic Commando, I'd be for it.
Hell, I want them to revive 90% of their "dead" franchises and go this route.
>>337298832
Fuck you
>>337300945
4 had 4.1 million sales, X has 3.2+ million sales, they are aruright in MH dept
>>337300969
DAMMIT MO- I mean HIROSHIMA
>>337298832
Ace Attourney is still good.
Monhun is still good.
SFIV was treated right, and while they fucked up and SFV is never going to be successful, it's still a good game.
hopefully they got the message about DMC.
Dragon's Dogma is neat.
Resident Evil is sadly beyond saving.
Mega Man isn't being rehashed every year like clockwork anymore, so that's a plus. It can stay dead.
Their other fightan franchises will likely never return and that makes me sad.
overall 6/10, nowhere near glory days but still decent.
hating capcom is the dumbest /v/ meme ever
I like SF and play it a lot
annoying how they shit up threads over some autistic singleplayer game they didn't like 10 years ago or something dumb
>>337300903
I don't think anyone believed it was happening. Everyone seemed to be saying "Wouldn't it be awesome if they did?"
>>337300767
>basically every financial review every fucking year
>thank god monster hunter saved our ass
Monster Hunter is the only reason they didn't went bankrupt. When they still put any kind of risk, and risk being in this case releasing new games and not rereleasing the same shit over and over again, Monster Hunter was literally the only glue holding the company together.
If for some reason Monster Hunter declines they are seriously fucked because they have nothing else going for them.
>>337300945
the 4 million one is definitely RE7, no doubt.
The other one, not a clue. It can't be DMC5, can it... ?
>>337301297
that's a nice narrative you have there, any actual facts to back it up?
>killed megaman
>killed clover
i don't much care for them
that said: still better than sega
>>337301403
Are you blind? I literally mentioned the source in my post.
>>337301479
Whoa, hey, Sega isn't THAT bad.
Now, if you had said Konami...
>monster hunter will soon surpass street fighter
>>337301618
Sega buried all their franchises except for Sonic. Sega has a lot to answer for.
They have so many good IPs, I wish they would try and use them.
>>337301201
>forgetting selling dlc that was already on the disc
>giving their ips to shit developers
They make some pretty awesome games from time to time
>>337300945
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Down_%28video_game%29
Maybe? Completely forgot this one.
>>337301827
True. But at least they still make actual video games. No giving the ENTIRE CONSOLE INDUSTRY the finger and making nothing but pachinko machines.
>>337301678
>Mega Man series is no longer listed
It hurts breh
>>337301201
You're a fucking retard.
>>337301678
How does this franchise showcasing even matter?
Resident Evil has a million games under its belt and Street Fighter sold relatively poorly. The number of collectively sold games really isn't showing the current popularity of a franchise. Pretty surprising that Monster Hunter doesn't have more sales than Street Fighter although they rehash the series every single year.
>>337298832
I hate them and their great franchises they vehemently try to rape. Every time I think that I won't be giving them any money, they release bunch of shit and that one gem that tricks me into giving them money again.
Their games are always lacking in one area or another, but god damn do they have the best girls.
>>337301874
What is this?
>>337301874
Any reason he's counting in French?
>>337302086
>but god damn do they have the best girls.
Ain't that the truth.
>>337301201
This. I know /v/ loves to be contrarian but Bioware, Konami and Capcom? Where does it end? Meanwhile From gets a pass from these hypocrites for milking out Souls until it it literally a dried husk.
>>337301967
Yeah but Sega hasn't done much of anything as recent last I heard from them are 3DS ports and Bayo which was funded by another team.
>>337302239
Capcom fucked up their consumer relations from the late 360 era onwards. You can only blame so much on Inafune.
most of /v/ dislikes capcom
What did Capcom release in the last 5 years that flopped hard except for RE6 and DmC?
>>337302653
Did RE6 flop?
>>337302239
Personally, From doesn't get any sympathy from me, I consider Souls games to be Japanese AssCreed.
But Capcom really was trying to burn all the bridges with its consumer base. Day one DLCs that were locked on discs, how they still handle Resident Evil, Devil May "FUCK YOU", absence of physical release of Dual Destinies, absence of any release outside of Japan of DGS, and now Ace Attorney 6 is digital only. Like, fuck man, aren't we abused wives. If we don't buy them, then there's no release at all, but only thing we can buy is digital one at full price with no hopes of getting shit Japs get, just look at sweet shit Japanese collector editions have.
>>337302898
Not really. Still sold over a million. Maybe 2, I can't remember.
>>337302898
It barely made the money back despite selling quite well because the development costs were so ridiculously high.
>>337303012
I'm pretty sure it sold like 6 million.
>>337301967
If they prove Generations wasn't a fluke and they can still make even a good Sonic game, I might agree hold them slightly higher.
>>337303289
I want that to happen. I want alot of things to happen that could make Sega better.
But nothing will ever change until someone sits down the heads of SoA and SoJ and forces them to cooperate. Learn to get along or get the fuck out.
>>337303289
But Colors was out before Generations, and was a solid competent game as well.
>>337302898
They wasted so much money on that game even selling 6 million wasn't enough.
current consensus is when the fuck are they going to release a monster hunter at more than 240p?
>>337303508I like Unleashed
>>337303643
How much did they expect?
>>337303676
Once they stop pulling profit on it and even then that's expecting too much for they'd think no one wants the series anymore.
>>337303289
Lost Worlds was a fine game. Not as good as generations sure but it was solid
>>337303862
well, hopefully the NX will have video out and a higher res or something
>>337303882
While I am mostly mad it isn't even shades of Generations, I still didn't have much fun, frankly. It felt way too easy, too slow, and featured some of the weakest boss battles in franchise history.
Nothing against the Zeti since I'm fine with villains of the year, but multi-lockon destroyed any sense of challenge.
>>337303643
They said they were disappointed with RE6's sales like a month after it came out, when it had sold a little over 3 million. It has certainly made money by now though.
>>337304128
More like bring Monster Hunter to Sony.
Fuck Nintendo.
They still make good shit just not as much as they used to. MH's, RE Rev2 was pretty good, DMC4se with 5 on the way, SF5 despite the muh single player haters, Ace Attorney, Dragons Dogma.
Hopefully the outsourcing meme is truly behind us...
>>337303739
Needed 7, sold like 5.
Should be better, but could be worse.
They were pretty bad a couple of years ago and made some questionable shady decisions but looks like maybe they're getting back on track.
At least they're not as evil as Konami.
>>337304137
Also that one level in the last world one big rail grind.
>>337304139
It also dropped in price fast but the re-release plus PC sales should have helped.
>>337304518
>>337304880
Konami did nothing wrong.
>>337304330
Wow that not bad at all including all the bitching RE5 had to deal with I'd be rather pleased with those numbers.
>>337304238
I thought the sony handheld sold poorly in japan?
Needs more Darkstalkers.
>>337304974
Ohhhh yes they did.
Never in the history of vidya has a company committed PR suicide as fast and as thoroughly as Konami did.
>>337298832
They have some good games but people are just made they killed off shitty series like DMC and Megaman
>>337305175
Why did they have to be the ones to buy Hudson? The loss of Castlevania was enough without this.
>>337305175
>fire a shitty hack
>rather than risk more monetary losses in a dying industry turn to pachinko for more money
They did nothing wrong.
>>337298832
Kinda shitty
>>337304987
Indeed, selling mostly on name alone.
>>337305314
They could auction all their former properties to... you know, a game company who would use them.
>>337305314
t. Goldberg Silverstein
Shit company.
Localize Dai Gyakuten Saiban already you useless fuckers.
Capcom, Konami, Square Enix, is there even ONE company that isn't horribly screwing up?
>>337305314
Uh huh.
Now try to justify treating its employees like slaves in a Chinese sweat shop.
Shit until they make Dragon's Dogma II
>>337305624
Now to be fair, that's probably just typical Japan.
>>337299049
This
>>337305482
None of them would do those games justice.
Frogger would be a disaster in third party hands, Castlevania would be a mess without Iga, Bomberman wouldn't be the same etc.
Konami is the only one who can do their franchises correctly.
>>337298954
this so much it hurts.
>>337305861
>None of them would do those games justice.
Maybe. But at the same time, anyone willing to shell out big for these big names would PROBABLY back up the money with serious labor, or they'd be stupid to snatch up such a big name.
May they all rot in Hell forever.
>>337298832
They make good games, but is massively gimped by Shitty business decisions
>>337305990
come on dude, It's just megaman.
>>337305990
They at least put all the existing Legends games on PSN.
>>337301479
>>killed clover
Blame Inafune for that one too.
God, he was such a toxic influence on Capcom. Glad he cannot touch Megaman anymore.
>>337298832
Allow me to point my finger at Monster Hunter Frontier G.
-Online PS VITA Monster Hunter. (Its also on some other consoles or something)
-No offline mode whatsoever
-Buy the game, Pay to play (subscription), pay to win, and everyone will lose everything once servers go down.
They just need to fuck off.
>>337306074
It was something like 12 years hiatus and they jerked it away. People got a right to be mad still.
>>337306137
Now if only PS1 classics were available on PS4. I'd like to see an even larger audience have access.
>>337298832
Not great, but they can fix it. Question is whether they will.
>>337300254
The problem with Ace Attorney is that Capcom doesn't really get involved with it, they essentially just publish it.
The Ace Attorney team has gone to shit, and it's time Capcom kicked them to the curb like they did with Clover. 6 is gearing up to be the worst one yet.
>>337305616
Atlus
>>337305314
>went full pachinko
>terrible treatment towards their staff
>fired kojima and banned him from even attending an award show
>killed off most of their ips
>shady copyright claims against small time media people
Gee I dunno sounds pretty evil to me
Reminder, that this man is responsible for a great deal of the actions CAPCOM took last gen.
>>337305990
Seems like someone was tricked by the business man. Legends 3 was a trap set by Inafune in order to embarrass Capcom, all to justify his MN9 shit.
>>337306293
That is easily the stupidest part of the PSN store.
What, can the PS4 not handle PS1 games or something? Come on.
>>337306514
It can. The PS4 is confirmed to use the same POPS loader as the PS3.
>>337306614
I don't know why they are holding off on letting us run Classics on a PS4 then. Rainy day salespitch in case Microsoft ever got an upper-hand? I hope not, or we'll never see them.
>>337301323
oh it just might be
>>337306371
I dunno, DD was the only real turd of the bunch and simply by going back to real investigations they seem like they're already doing better than DD.
>>337306726
I think it has to do with Capcom moreso.
>>337301874
>Ex-Troopers never got released the west
>We still got Lost Planet 3
>>337300394
what does the rise of casual normie games has anything to do with GnGs?
>>337306998
I'm pretty sure all PS1 classics are withheld from PS4's. They're only offered for PS3 owners.
>>337306173
why are you still mad at a game from 2013
why are you playing MH on anything other than a 3DS
>>337307209
You are correct.
Which is just so stupid.
>>337306425
And now he's stuck with a bunch of chinese businessmen and their Android console
>Kick Inafune out
>He turns out to be a thieving "artist" who has never made a game in his life
>Kick Kamiya out
>He turns out to be a mad social media midget and a clandestine softcore porn actor who will do anything and sign any contract for money
>Kick Shinji out
>He makes Resident Evil 4.5 and makes you pay for the ending that doesn't even explain shit
Capcom is the only company who gets rid of people BEFORE they become failures, and I'm OK with that.
Imagine if Nintendo had kicked Miyamoto out 10? 15? Hell, 20 years ago? The world would be a better place.
>>337307236
>playing MH on a shitty 240p system
lol
>>337306494
stop
>>337307316
Does that really prove any of them are worse than their former peers? The fact that they stand out now can be attributed to the fact that they aren't hidden behind the corporate facade anymore. It isn't proof that they aren't all that bad or worse.
>>337307115
LP3 was developed in the west, while the text in EX Troopers didn't use an easily-replaceable font but graphics for each individual blip of text. I don't know if it was to be stylish or specifically make localization a nightmare.
>>337307236
The very fact they tried to pull this stunt should show you, they're not afraid to go there.
>>337307509
Their peers had the sense enough to know when they (Inafune, Clover) had past their prime.
Most likely Capcom offered them executive positions, similar to the aforementioned Miyamoto, and they declined and set out in their own.
They put themselves in the limelight, and they'll be judged by their own name. They're shit. Some worse than others, some can turn that around.
Capcom as a business, I.E. a publisher is the least offensive around IMO, and they're developments in the last decade haven't been all bad either (Lost Planet, LP2, Dragon's Dogma).
At the end of the day, Capcom has cleansed themself of old ties, at the very least attempted to start new IPs and continue trucking. Companies like Square Enix promote hasbeens (Lookin' at you, Nomura), and haven't made a decent game in 10 years.
Capcom's alright in my book.At least Square Enix publishes Deus Ex, it's all they've got left.
I want the Capcom that gave me Marvel Super Heroes, Jojo, Vampire and Third Strike back.
>>337308621
>Their peers had the sense enough to know when they (Inafune, Clover) had past their prime.
That's not how a corporation works. They aren't voted out by their "peers."
>Most likely Capcom offered them executive positions, similar to the aforementioned Miyamoto, and they declined and set out in their own.
Hard to imagine someone wanting to make games instead of be jammed behind a desk in a figurehead position with no real control over development.
>They put themselves in the limelight, and they'll be judged by their own name.
Fair enough, but I'm not going to sing Capcom's praises just because of a couple rowdy former employees look bad at the moment.
>>337298832
They are still doing a great job with my favorite series of all time, and they managed to get DD ported to PC. They are alright in my book.
>>337308792
Good luck with that. The key players of those games are spread all over now.
>>337308959
>Hard to imagine someone wanting to make games instead of be jammed behind a desk in a figurehead position with no real control over development
Yeah, I don't blame them, but sometimes you have to admit when you've got nothing left in the creativity tank. It's called a job for a reason, if they got into game development to be creative they need to stay creative. It's not like if they became producers, executive or otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to direct something later on. Take a break, think of some new ideas...
Instead Inafune tried to make Megaman 0.5, Kamiya remakes DMC, and Shinji remakes RE4. If they wanted respect, they would have sat out for a few years and let some new guys try their hand, instesd they insisted on themselves and got the boot. I'll praise Capcom for putting "rowdy" in it's place.
I had more fun with LP2 and Dragon's Dogma than anything else last gen, and certainly more than any Megaman, DMC, and RE. That's just my personal taste, but it's where my opinions stem from.
>>337309619
I'm not sure that you can just sit out for a while and pop back into a designer role whenever you please. The Japanese game industry, to my understanding, tucks people behind desks when they don't want to deal with them anymore. To say they can just hop back on a creative team at their whim doesn't really sync with that. If it's anything like the movie industry, people are always ready to assume you're washed up if you aren't constantly getting new roles. The fact that Capcom wanted to cut them loose kind of supports the "no take-backs" mentality.
>>337306371
DD may had flaws but they are polishing them for SoJ. However I'm sure it won't be perfect but the lesser shit the better, just look they finally added difficulty choice
>>337309619
>and let some new guys try their hand
Well, what we got were three dead franchises in the end.
>>337306726
probably have to license the games again for a new platform. I doubt they'll ever bother doing that for most of them. maybe they will for the best selling ones.
>>337298832
they are untrustworthy cunts
they might try to get back to good graces again

They've been fucking up a lot for the past three console generations but I still want to see them succeed.
I know that the Capcom I loved is still in there somewhere.

Is there a new Resident evil movie coming out? they might bring it out along side the movie.
>>337311886
Yup. "The Final Chapter," in fact.
They release flawed games but they still generally have the best combat on the market and that matters to me.
I'd rather play dmc than dante's inferno
I'd rather play Dragon's Dogma than Skyrim
I could continue but I won't. I like them despite their flaws. They excel at things that matter most to me. Excited to see what deep down turns into and excited at hints about a possible dmc5.

Still not buying capcom games until they restart Legends 3.

name one ps1 game that's better
At Anime Expo 2014 I saw he was going
I missed the chance to go get his signature but I knew his panel was still going to be a chance to get this signed.
At the end of his panel (after befriending a Capcom dev of all things. they worked on most street fighters except 5) they said there would be some items signed
I rushed to the table on stage and pulled this PS1 Debug station out.
When he got it from me, he took a moment to see what I just handed him. It's been years since he's ever touched another of these. As I watched his face when he looked at it he was clearly holding in tears. One even escaped a little bit.
He signed it and handed it back.and then the fans tried grabbing me and pulling me away from the table
It was then, that I knew, he knew he messed up and had one chance to redeem himself. The people he hired made this a problem, and he's probably torn as fuck for what happened.
He really cared for Megaman and fans, but the choice to leave the company and still try to fulfill what the fans wanted (or what capcom does - merch) was too much to handle and the quality of the product was shot.
Trust me anons, he meant well, but he couldn't do what he wanted.
>>337313740
To add, im not defending what happened, im just saying there was a little hope left in him before red ash
>>337313740

I'm sorry, but excuse me? Why would you include Bomberman in that at all? Hudson is the one behind Bomberman, and unless I'm missing something, they haven't even been allowed to make a Bomberman game since being bought out by Konami.
What's the current state of Hudson anyway? Is anyone even still around now that they're under Konami?
