| RafaelOrix said: I have no idea what happened between Sony and Capcom (plus Capcom and Nintendo) but the lack of Monster Hunter title had some major effect on PS Vita on a bad way. However, hopefully Sony will use it's core competence (in terms of gaming) and push some amazing titles from first party studios. Imo, if Sony got MH4 we would never had Soul Sacrifice and that would be a big loss. |
I'm not sure, either. With Monster Hunter it could be as simple as Nintendo offering assistance with promoting the franchise and Capcom being annoyed by SCEA blocking Monster Hunter Freedom 3 HD. But it seems like there could be something larger. Capcom was all in on the PS1 and then pulled back a bit the following generation, giving the Gamecube and Xbox a lot more support than they warranted (not coincidentally, this is when Capcom actually did get into financial trouble). The Capcom Five was a very strange move, especially Resident Evil 4 which should have been a huge hit but flopped on the 'cube and forced the company to liquidate a bunch of assets. Either there's a little bad blood between them and Sony, or Capcom just makes really terrible business decisions for no apparent reason.
