"shows the success of our decision to try the new approach of using an alliance with an overseas development company."
Yeah, more like "shows the success of taking a beloved brand-name and slapping it onto a humdrum shooter we got some foreigners to churn out on a lazy Sunday afternoon...now give us your money."

That or the fact people waited over a decade for a game that was made popular by its large impressive roster only to have a pile of shit placed in their laps and told they had to buy an ultimate edition to get more characters. People are wise to Capcom's bullshit and don't want partial access to a full priced game.
And people wonder why I don't think customers should be limited to voting with their wallet. Even with complaints openly stating why people might have avoided this, these corporate bozos come up with the wrong answer.
I just hope one day, one day they finally bite the bullet and finally blame themselves for their own failures, even just once!!!The Artificially Prolonged said:2020: Blame the weather on release dayNameIsRobertPaulson said:

On topic:
I hope this teaches publishers a lesson that if your going to do loads of dlc and then release a complete edition further down the line your just screwing yourself over as customers will quickly get wise to your plan.
But who am I kidding, they won't do it even if their families are threatened to be killed by Wesker.
Actually I do agree that there is quite an over-saturation of fighting games as of late. As someone who recently got into the genre I find it difficult just to try one game out because five more get released a week after, not to mention most cost around $60 and I cant afford that.
However like everyone above me posted this is all just Capcom creating BS to hide their horrible habit of major bits of contents locked away and re-releasing the same game over and over.

Oh, gee, I wonder who was responsible for making too many fighting games in a short period of time...but it couldn't have been the big company who cut a large chunk of their other games out of the picture (regardless of the stage of development) in order to make a gazillion copies of the same fighter!

Note how they didn't mention Street Fighter 3: Online Edition or any of their SF4-iterations as one of the cannibal perpetrators. Which is sort of ironic, as these were the reasons I didn't buy SFxT. They're both cheaper and better games.
Well played, Capcom.

Given how pants-on-head retarded Capcom tends to be I wouldn't be surprised if there where tying these two items together. Honestly at this point I'd be fine if Capcom took one more crack at fixing MvC3 and then never published another fighting game as their recent offerings could charitably be described as lacking. Even MvC3 is a broken mess. It's a fun broken mess but it's still a broken mess. Sleep Fighter X Timeover is not fun to play, watch or be near. It's just a shit game that has real, pervasive issues starting at a very low level of how its mechanics work. Short of a complete overhaul I'm not sure how salvageable it is. All this on top of the fact that Skullgirls just came out, King of Fighter XIII seems to be gaining more and more fans (even months after its console release) and that Persona 4: Arena looks to be a really solid game. I think that the world will be able to live without Capcom fighting games.Volothos said:

I don't know about that. There seemed to be a lot of people hyped.Lunar Templar said:
I think they're just missing the point that, while market saturation likely was an issue, there's a ton of others. And since Grey wrote 'em out in the article itself, I won't repeat 'em.
yeah there where other games, doesn't really change the fact that, near as i could tell, no one really gave a crap about this one.Zachary Amaranth said:

I'm glad Campcom remain blind to the actual reasons that a bunch of players took a dislike to the game.
It's like they always blame everything and everyone else than themselves and their decisions.
It couldn't have been any decisions they made - it was things outside of their control! Of course!
(This is also in part why I applauded that STO dev who was big enough to criticise his own product and understand a problem with their own decisions)

Indeed. Especially as "cannibalism" has no other meaning than "the practice of eating human flesh". Maybe a bug in translation?jokaero said:
as a long time fan of fighting games trust me you start to notice trends in them that help you know which ones to try. and when it comes to capcom they always tend to screw over their fans who buy their fighting games either by on disk dlc or a better version within a year. granted mortal kombat did the kompleat edition but who doesn't nowadaysArmored Prayer said:
