Crappy Capcom Proofreader Strikes Again

[Hitchmeister]

This reeks of Capcom hiring in someone who said he could do the job, but evidently cannot.

Or it could be Capcom is trying to turn cover sleeves into collectors items by including typos.

This reeks of Capcom hiring a nigerian kid who'd blagged them into believing he was a highly trained box art professional.

I mean it wasn't oven a case of a typo that wouldn't be picked up by a spellchecker. My browser is currently doing a better job than their people who create box art for millions of people

oven?

Even I guess my spellchecker didn't pick it up

 

[Waaghpowa]

No way they make this many mistakes accidentally. I smell an attempt to increase sales by creating "collectors" item copies of the game.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

So...does that make the IGN Okami, Resident Evil Revelaitons and, the press-release Azura's Wrath collector's items? I guess the one closest to collector's item status at this point would be the Okami one...

Spoiler: Capcom: What?

It isn't that big a deal to me unless they don't fix it but it is still funny.

 

[Flailing Escapist]

That's just part of Capcom's neverending charm. Don't take this away from me, nitpickers.

A link to the Mega man box art? That's aiming the blow a little low.
On the upside, they're no longer forcing actors to pose with broken right ankles.

Spoiler

Come to think of it, they're plenty of funny jokes that vould be levelled at the Mega man boxes besides the first, like the third, look at where he's shooting, and I think he's having a little too much fun doing it.

[Rheinmetall]

I think "Chanllenges" is a valid way to explain to someone that we are not just talking here for ordinary challenges, but "chan-llenges" with an "n". It's written this way to emphasize the seriousness of the challenge. Like mission impossible and above.

 

[weirdee]

BTW, the bad spelling in Revelations extends ingame also, to the point that both dialogue and SIGNS THAT THEY HAD TO MAKE TEXTURES FOR are misspelled.

Spoiler

Although at least back then they were willing to hire models with two right hands, even if they did break their ankle as well. Also, with how Drillman is posed, I have to wonder where Wiley's other hand is...

 

[Andy of Comix Inc]

I'm actually convinced this isn't because of a bad spellchecker or box art QA. No, I'm willing to bet this is because of a fired box art QA team. ...what? QA is expensive!

Could it be Capcom is trying to usher in the age of digital distribution quicker, by making boxed copies irrelevant hilarious?

 

[rapidoud]

To be fair, Blizzard had a lot of mistakes in Starcraft 2 that I can recall, and SWTOR had some.

On the box art...?

I still remember how Ocarina of time advertised its "immersive storyline and envirironments" on the back.

Can you show some evidence please? I just wanted to see it.

I was a little off, "Enivironments"

 

[Voulan]

Oh god. I can imagine the chaos over there when they found out.

Seriously though Capcom, do you want me to proofread things for you? You wouldn't believe the number of mistakes I've found in subtitles and other written things in games. Not anything as embarrassing as this, mind, but as a Grammar-Nazi it's enough to make me want to bash my head against a wall.

 

[Strazdas]

So they hired me for typing and i didnt even knew it. nice.

 

[JesterRaiin]

...Suddenly i feel a lot less dumb. Thanks Capcom !

 

[Poster1234]

Seriously, if you believe that's bad, you should have a look at Steam, french version : I have no idea who they have translating the games' descriptions, but it is just screaming "Google translate" at every turn, it's just painful to read (that is, when it is actually translated).

It simply baffles me that such companies can't even get the blasted spelling right with the millons of dollars they spend on advertisement.
