So... Megan Man MMO, right?

I'm curious to see if they'll really work to make this happen, or if they'll just push out ports that are unplayable without a console controller, just so they can have another outlet for their games (via digital distribution) with minimal effort.

Here's hoping. I'm not a huge Capcom fan, but it's good to see people trying new things.

Phoenix Wright for the PC...please? It worked in Japan, it can't take SO much effort to alter the DS release for PC...

The PC version of RE 5 was one of the best ports I've ever played. So this gets my thumbs up.

No doubt they'll also bring their always-online DRM as well. Since, you know, its totally not hurting any paying customers on PSN right now.

Your avatar amazingly fit perfectly with the techno song I was just listening to.

I just hope that they optimize their games a bit better, and maybe drop GFWL. I have no problem with ports as long as some effort has been put into it. Include detailed graphics settings, customizable controls, and a menu system that doesn't make me want to punch things, and I'm happy.

Is it me of have alot of companies lately said they wanted to support the PC platform more..?...

Maybe it is because of the incredible year the PC market has had...

Completely off topic though:

What on earth is Dead Rising 2: Off the Record?

Is it a GOTY edition? Standalone game like Fallout New Vegas? DLC!?! Or just a patch?
Seems like an enhanced version of DR2 with Frank West instead of Chuck Greene.

Source: Joystiq
Link broken...

Enhanced version... What does that mean? The same thing but with a new characther and less bugs?! Bugs and load time that should have been fixed for Dead Rising 2?
Load times? They weren't that bad in my opinion, although I did use them to plan ahead and/or chat with my co-op buddy about what items we hadn't thrown at each other. Bugs? What bugs? I never had any?

And to answer your first question, off the record is a game featuring Frank West as the main character with a complete story rehaul. Aside from one area however, the city is the same, but Chuck Greene is still in it, as a co-op character. Combo weapons are also still in the game and more melee moves are being added. All in All, sounds pretty good so far, but very little is known about it aside from one article where the website got to try a demo of the first 10 mins or so.

OT: Sounds good, if it means more money for Capcom. However, I'll be sticking to their console games for now, just their stronger market right now.

What game are you talking about here? I just tried DMC 4 and the only thing it wouldn't let me access are the leaderboards as if anyone cares about them.

Yes they're small PSN games, but I don't care. Yes the pirates knocked out PSN and screwed with lots of people. They're criminals, its what they do.

But whats Capcom's excuse for putting in DRM that locks out paying customers?

The port of Resi Evil IV was shocking. On the Gamecube it was a brilliant, genre-defining game that spawned many imitators (good and bad) like Dead Space for one. The PC port was one of the worst, with people popping in and out of nowhere, horrid controls, QTEs that quite simply don't work well on PC at all and the menu/save system wasn't adapted for a mouse at all.

Saying that, this news can only be a good thing. PC gaming is a great thing and I don't believe it's a "small" thing by any stretch. Perhaps the reason console games outsell PC titles are because games are being designed for them primarily. With hard drive space, RAM, processor speeds and graphics power better than 10 360s combined, it's tragic that few developers are Pushing the boundaries and instead limit themselves to working with only what was possible 4 years ago.

Capcom saying they have an interest in the PC games market is brilliant news. I for one will look forward to their efforts. They make fantastic games so perhaps the can work their magic on the most advanced system available. The next big PC exclusive to look forward to is The Witcher II, hope that will last till Capcom throw something on the table :)

But we'll still make sure to rob as many gamers as possible!

I'm not the biggest fan of Capcom.
