RE3R is still considered a good game it may not be as good as the other REmakes but then not many games are, spin offs like ORC and such aren't taken in the same context as mainline games hence why I didn't bother bringing up the FF spin offs and even when included Capcom still beats out SE because then we'd be bringing all the FFCCs and Chocobo racings etc... which is pointless as they have no bearing on fans perception of the mainline games, the fact that XIV had to have two development cycles highlight the whole point Capcom at least had their games in a respectable playable form in one go and if we're looking from gen 7 onward we can add VIII and RE4R to the mix it's not the same circumstances as SE.
RE6 sold as it did off pure hype this was still in the shadow of RE4 and it was marketed heavily, RE5 was a decent game yes but it also had a great co-op mode which was one of the best of the era so still retained good will with fans Capcom were nowhere near as consistently subpar as SE has been, the difference with Capcom compared to SE is that the former acknowledge RE6 was trash despite sales and took action immediately with RE7 and a full series reboot while SE didn't even have a game in the works they had to take control of Versus and rebrand it XV while chopping and change it to suit and it still launched a mess showing a fundamental problem in management and leadership. To put it in perspective fans went a full six to seven years of a disappointing XIII installment and its follow ups to get XV for another four years and this is with what someone earlier highlighted FFX being the last fully well rounded FF which means someone can make the point that FF has arguably been inconsistent for 20 years that's is going to hurt your brand no matter.
Capcom didn't get away with being subpar they fixed the problem before it got out of hand.
