Forums - Gaming Discussion - Capcom is garbage

It’s not a new thing to see games released on Apple’s iPhone/iPod service that are considered ’clones’ to regular, console releases. In most cases, they are developed by a single person and they don’t end up making much money. But what happens when a major developer releases a game that is very similar to another release? What about if the developer of the original game proposed their game to that same studio and was rejected? Well, that’s what seems be the case today.

According to the Twisted Pixel Twitter Feed and CEO Michael Wilford, the recently released Capcom Mobile game MaXplosion is a rip-off of their popular 2009 XBLA game ’Splosion Man. Via Twitter, Wilford mentioned that they originally pitched the idea of ’Splosion Man to Capcom who rejected the idea.

As this is a developing story, Capcom have yet to respond to the accusations. Hopefully we’ll hear more from either side in the very near future.

If you’d like to see maXplosion in action, check out the clip below.

Everybody is doing it. EA rejected UFCs offer yet they made MMA. Yeah, Capcom is not better then any other profit seeking company, but I will never be able to hate them after they made games like RE/DMC/Street Fighter/Dead Rising etc.

And on top of all those awesome games, they even dared to support the Wii when no one else did.



Capcom made Duck Takes on NES, they are not garbage



Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?

Yeah I wouldn't say capcom is garbage either... but I'd say Capcom 2006-2011 is garbage for the most part. Yeah, that rolls off the tounge nicely...

I guess Inafune was right about Capcom being like a communist country, right down to the shoddy knock-offs of popular things.

Comcept for life!



gameloft is not amused... ripping of games for the iphone is their job.. I present to you their new game:

It's one thing to see games being ripped off and borrowed from, but this is what makes the current situation unforgiveable inmy opinion. 

If this happened in the book publishing or music industries we would see the most massive copyright suit in history...
