Forums - Gaming Discussion - CAPCOM is killing their own IPs

Hisiru on 31 March 2011

Resident Evil is already dead. Resident Evil: Revelation is the only hope I have for a revival of the series.

Regarding Resident Evil, have you forgotten the survivor and Dead Aim games, or how crappy Code Veronica and Zero were?  Even 5 has seen plenty of backlash.  It's not like it's got a perfect reputation to tarnish...


Whoa. The fuck are you talking about. RE Code Veronica and Zero were amazing.

Just for making the villains a transvestite with a sister fetish and a pile of leeches respectively, I disagree.  This is before we get into things like having the new enemies be giant Frogs or making us put up with Steve.  Such letdowns...

They just canceled the atrocious looking Mega Man Universe. Do you still think Capcom doesn't know what it's doing?

If they knew what they were doing then they would've not started making Mega Man Universe to begin with lol

That was Inafune's attempt to sabotage the IP before he left.

they need to kill off the old ones so they have space to steal more games from independant developers.

CAPCOM has a REAL Jekyll and Hyde thing going on. On the one hand we have a great set of teams who have made stuff like DMC4, Dead Rising (2 was thus far the only GOOD game made by a Western partner of theirs), SFIV, TvC, MvC3, Mega Man 9 and 10, Ghost Trick, Pheonix Wright vs Proffessor Layton, RE: Mercenaries, and Okamiden. But then you have the other side that makes STUPID decisions like handing DMC off to dev team that has an insecure egomaniac as a lead designer, do a stupid relaunch of Bionic Commando (though Rearmed was good), make a bland shooter like Dark Void, make Lost Planet 2 unplayable without co-op, and then give an RE project to a dev like Slant Six (though it's not a NUMBERED release at least). With a lot of the stupid decisions I smell Inafune's grubby, self-xenophobic influence. They still make great games, but they have made a lot of stupid moves

I'll second this opinion. There seems to be the smart Capcom that's been doing great with their fighting franchises, with Megaman and Phoenix Wright, Dead Rising, Monster Hunter and some of their Resident Evils, and then the stupid Capcom running around and doing Dark Void, dmc, and trying whatever the hell they're trying with this Resident Evil



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Well the new RE game looks fun, and yeah the graphics are bad, but its still in developement.... I cant wait to play it, finally a new game, not just another marine space shooter who is saving the planet, or COD.

if that's the case, consider me cautious of Megaman Legends 3

I seriously need to agree, both 0 and Code Veronica were really great games. Zero might not of been AS good as the other RE titles, but it was still definitely a great game. 5 on the other hand, brought the series in a terrible direction.

Waitaminute... Heavenly Short was a better game than DMC4 and featured WAY MORE innovative content than another Devil May Cry rehash. Shit yeah, I may actually play DMC again because of this.

And Capcom brought us Dead Rising. For that alone, I will give them a pass this generation.
