Capcom Wants to Cut Ties With The West, Increase DLC
- Thread starter Steven Bogos
- Start date
Because they don't see what the community sees, they literally are only given numbers, both of their own games and how other studios are doing and they try to find a way to make theirs as big if not larger than others. It would be like a sports athlete trying to develop a new car with only sales figures to go off and no understanding of how the system works or what people want.....J Tyran said:

Very much this.mirage202 said:
All publishers need to die. Badly. Cut out the scummy middlemen and let the devs publish independently. It'll fix problems OVERNIGHT, I promise you that.
... Resident Evil 5 sold 5.9 million units and you expected 6 to sell fucking SEVEN MILLION?!
That's 1.1 Million units more.
Fuck, what are these people smoking? I want some of that shit.
please Capcom, don't be surprised no one buys your games anymore. You still haven't released Miles Edgeworth 2, you piss into the fans' mouths by how you treat megaman and your 2D fighters are getting annoying and boring.
I'd say "good riddance" but I still want Monster Hunter 4 and the Ace Attorney games >:C

Okay, this is something that's been confusing me for a while. When people announce a boycott for a stupid reason (no longer console exclusive, not enough DLC, PVP allegedly unbalanced/wrong or whatever), then don't follow through on said boycott, we laugh and shake our collective heads at their hypocrisy.1nfinite_Cros5 said:
When DMC fans announce they aren't buying a game because it's missing what makes the game enjoyable for them (taunt mechanics, complex combos, high difficulty, weapon/style customization) and then actually follow though on it, they are 'knee-jerking', 'entitled' and even 'destroying a brand out of spite' as one person put it.
So I have to ask, what is a good way of expressing distaste for something nowadays?
But they'll still sell Resident Evil games right? I know 5 and 6 (especially 6) were let downs, but I enjoyed them and I would really hate to see the company act like an even bigger dumbass than they already have acted. I get why they want the Resident Evil series to be multiplayer and what not, but they need to realise that not every gamer wants to play with other people. Also, the whole, "WOW LOOK! 4 whole story lines!" is rarely a good thing. Each campaign was too short and personally made me unsatisfied as I never got invested enough in the story because I knew after 5 chapters that was it and it was onto the next game. And this is the first time I have ever said this, but the game was too streamlined. You got one pistol, one shotgun, one sniper, one machine gun, one magnum etc etc. Come on Capcom, don't you remember how great it was in RE 4 and even RE 5 to have different weapons with different upgrades. And how some has special final upgrades once everything else was upgraded. Remember the alternate costumes actually changed gameplay? How Leon's RPD outfit gave him the bullet proof vest, or how Ashley's knight armour outfit made her invulnerable? Remember unlocking the Chicago Typewriter after beating Ada's campaign? Remember getting the PRL 412 after beating the game in Professional?
Come on Capcom, I liked RE6, but lets see the next one come back to a better time, where guns were many, upgrades were a must, and we had incentive to play the other campaigns/difficulties.

I'm starting to see why Keiji Inafune left the company. Looking back over the last few years they've been unintentionally burning bridges every which way with DLC and underwhelming development (at least locally). Devil May Cry was one of their better games, being basically a new series with an old name, and they are scrapping it when it had a fairly decent turn out and probably would have been worth making a sequel for. At least, I know I'd be more inclined to buy something if the company has a sequel coming out, as I did with Dark Souls.
Shouldn't that be reading "...in the home videogames market" ?Steven Bogos said:
But honestly, I couldn't care less about what Capcom is doing; seeing as how I haven't really bought any of their games, and given recent incidents that have come to attention (e.g. their first person shooter, "Maverick Hunter" being cancelled, which looked like it had a lot of potential), this recent event isn't going to change my mind anytime soon.
Though, now that I think about it, Remember Me looks like it has potential, I'll keep an eye on that one at least.
i hope all those dmc fanboys who was hoping the game failed are happy(not that that's the only reason). now (granted, they seem to have unrealistic expectations on game sales) capcom is overreacting and we'll probably see nothing but more of the same with lots of dlc
Well yes I am quite happy. Any company that tries to rile up its customers to get free publicity should be laughed at as it is burning to the ground under the controversy they created and the related IP is better off dead rather than mutilated by soulless suits.ilexuki said:
Feel free to write this off as the ramblings of a fanatic but please try to pay attention to the real culcript here.
Well I was going to say that this was disastrous news because it means I'll never buy a Capcom game again. Then I realized I haven't purchased a Capcom game in years anyway, so crisis averted. Bye bye Capcom. Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya on your way out.
Didn't Capcom actually sell a game without much of ending only to sell the real ending afterwards as DLC? I do not know for sure, never played it myself but it was called Azuras Path or something. The article I read mentioned it was a narrative anime story game with 3rd person combat, so messing with the end screwed it over even more than usual.Jiefu said:
Still you would think execs in charge of a consumer product type company would take some time every now and then to personally see what the customers think of your products, wouldn't that be part of being a successful executive by trying to oversee as much as possible?RicoADF said:
wow, so they obviously missed the point here by a few hundred miles. they think their numbers suck because they aren't producing enough DLC? further evidence that the Heads of major game companies are business people, not gamers. I will be glad to see them go the way of companies I'm beginning to hate, by which I mean dying broke and alone in a gutter.
