Forums - Gaming - Is Capcom going to bankrupt?

If other games can sell well like MH4, then no. But if they keep messing up, then they're doomed. They could merge with Namco Bandai, Square Enix, Tecmo Koei, Konami and Sega to create a Deadly Alliance!

I can't make up my mind up if that would be a good idea or not!

It's true (apparently) but no need to worry.

Wah ? That was the time when they churned out one fantastic game after the next !

There is no justice in the world...

Sure. Just look at Sega. Whenever they have been on fire making the kinds of games the internet claims to want, their console dies or they die or at least lose a lot of money. But whenever they don't want to localize anything but Sonic they always seem to make bank. Long story short: don't listen to us.

But yeah, it was late 2004/early 2005 when Capcom was in pretty bad straits. The trifecta of Onimusha, Viewtiful Joe, and RE4 all flopping in a row put them on the ropes for a bit.



Even if they did, i'm pretty sure someone would purchase them.



It's a shell of it's formal self much like SE so I can't give less fuck about it right now.

Is this good or bad news ?

I don't think all of that matters now, they probably made it all 10x back with Remember Me.

...ugh...did not know about that :/...man, what a shitty situation (Capcom was such a monster in the PS2/GameCube days)..sad to hear that their financials didn´t reflect their high quality output

kinda similar to Nintendo :(

I think that's one they'd rather forget.



No. They might get further down, but they would eventually shape up again, for better or worse.
