Capcom Looking to "Sell" 3DS Demos in Japan

[brant0]

Capcom is going downhill. It all started when they closed Clover.

*Sigh* just *sigh*.

Honestly, let me run down a list of things Capcom did that pissed off fans.

Billion versions of Street Fighters 2, 3 and 4.
The new Devil May Cry.
Cancelling Mega Man Legends 3.
Closing Clover Studios.
The save feature of The Mercenaires: 3DS.
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 only being a disc.

Let's talk good now...

The had a facebook poll for the Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright thing.

Am I missing anything?

The demo will also be available on the PC, obviously without the fancy 3D visual effects

Am I the only one who finds that weird? not that the PC demo won't have 3D but that there will be a PC demo at all.

What platforms is this being released on again?

 

[Beautiful End]

No Megaman Legends 3, no 3DS demo sales for you, Capcom! Now, good day!

I'd love to discuss how stupid the idea of selling demos is; how no one else in the world has ever consider such ridiculous idea and how this is a bad move in so many levels...but I think we've all got that.

 

[chuckey]

This is just getting ridiculous. I hope for the citizens of Japan/fans of Japanese games that this game is big deal otherwise I see absolutely no reason to buy this demo.

 

[Allan Foe]

Have these people actually finished a business school of any sort? Or, barring that, just read a cheap book on marketing?

'Cause it seems like the concept of a free sampler is not something they are familiar with.

 

[Michael Connell]

Doesn't this pretty much sum up everyone's opinion of Capcom?

*Flips up the middle finger*

Oh, just like they were GOING to do for MML3 until it was CANCELED?!

 

[scorptatious]

Smart move Capcom. Smart move. (Not really)

Ah well, I stopped caring about what Capcom was doing ever since Dead Rising 2.

Sometimes it feels as though video game companies are trying to destroy the video game industry.

and sadly only the informed will care of what is going on and the masses will just spend their money on stuff anyway.

I can't even say I'm mad or frustrated with Capcom anymore. I'm just more disappointed. It is kinda like watching a friend make bad decision after bad decision while rejecting all forms of help around them...

 

[Podunk]

Capcom... I keep wanting everyone to be wrong, wanting you to be misunderstood instead of simply evil... But dammit, I can't ignore it any longer! Charging for demos is pretty fucked up Capcom. I loved Case Zero and decided that that style of demo was pretty innovative and would be nice to see more often in the future... But this is not like that at all.

Capcom...its time for you to go away...


Canceling Megaman Legends 3

ReReleasing the Same Shit Different Price

Selling Demos

Its time for you to pack up whatever you have left in your dignity and sell off what you have

Seriously, I was on the fence about the eventual Dead Rising 3, but no.

FUCK you Capcom

 

[Carnagath]

Such a shame, I love most of their games. Not gonna be paying for any of them anymore though. If they go under, it will be deserved.

 

[Raddra]

There is something seriously wrong with Capcom in the last several years. Its like their management has been suffering form some kind of brain degenerating disease.

 

[Your Fearless Captain]

Capcom is officially the new EA. Except worse. I used to like Capcom, used to be one of my favorite publishers what with Megaman series and RE 4.

 

[Sean Strife]

Can Warner Brothers or Disney just buy out Capcom and it's IPS already? Probably Disney because of Marvel vs Capcom.
