This is really bad sign for gaming industry. Sure. Capcom is notorious for their poor DLC strategy and neglecting what gamers want. But once they get bankrupt many other company will follow the trend. What do you think?

More bad news regarding Capcom. When asked by a fan if the company would be bringing Ultra Street Fighter IV to next gen consoles, Yoshinori Ono responded with a very grave statement:

Earlier this year we reported (through GameIndustry) that Capcom had a very minuscule amount of cash in the bank. The company is currently in financial disarray. Then the news surfaced that Capcom of Europe is planning to cut more than half of its staff members. Combining those two older reports with Ono’s recent remark, it’s clear that Capcom is seriously, undeniably in trouble.

Not to mention that fighting games are necessarily as resource-heavy as say adventure or 3D action games. The fact that the company cannot afford to make a fighting game, or even port a fighter is devastating news.

As I stated in our earlier reports, I personally cannot feel sorry for the company. What goes around comes around. This is what happens when you betray you fans and kill off beloved franchises.

how hard is it to port the same game lol

Capcom not making ports? Now this is something new...

I don't think they are saying they don't have enough total resources to do this as what they made from Monster Hunter 4 should be more than enough, I think they are saying they know they have to be careful with evey dollar they spend and start to save up so a next gen port of ST4 is not a priority.  Also they are making a next gen game in Deep Down as well as Dead Rising 3 and making RE7, which is probably a next gen game so this isn't as bad as what people might think.

Well, it's normal. With the exponential rise of staff and costs needed to develop for HD and next-gen, there are companies that will most definately go bankrupt. There will be less new IP's and more CoD and GTA games that are sure-sellers. For a taste of something different, gamers will have to turn to indie games or high-funded crowdfunding projects.

Maybe they would make a good investment for MS? :)

jesus christ we've had like 3 threads about this already. they're not close to being bankrupt. They 1 billion in assets 400 million in liabilities. Their profits were less than expected and RE4, DmC, Lost Planet didn't meet expectations but they still made profit. Resources could mean manpower because they're working on other things, money because they're spending it on other things they'd rather be spending things on that will net them a higher IRR. You lay people off because certain divisions are in the red while other parts are really profitable. So you cut the people that are lagging.

They were profitable every year including last, with one year in the negative all last gen. From my post in the other Capcom DOOMED threa

Here's a table of company's quick ratio taken from 2013 financial reports. It's more complicated than this, Revenue, Profit, direction, etc is all important. And the fact that their IP's failed to meet their expectations definetely hurts the companys longterm.

But the quick ratio is a good  indicator on how likely they are to go belly up because of their ability to meet financial obligations. Despite all this bad news for Capcom they still made a profit unlike SE and Take 2. They made a profit despite having an underperforming year! (Though, SE has had FFXIV: ARR be more successful than expected and Take 2 has Grand Theft Auto 5 which are not indicated from 2013 financial reports).

But I was told next-gen development wouldn't be significantly more expensive than current-gen.

Anyway I guess this is why they need a partner like Disney to foot half the bill.

They really got some great Ips. Wish some capable company buys them...

This could mean anything, you are jumping to conclusions WAY too early.
