I'm still holding out unreasonable hope that Megaman Legends 3 becomes a reality.

With focus on delivering quality products to a wider audience base, Capcom has strived diligently to create innovative and exciting sequels to existing popular franchises to increase consumer opportunities and to strengthen its revenues. One of Capcom's many popular franchises, "Mega Man", which was first released in 1987, has seen numerous popular sequels and a plethora of merchandise which has established it as one of the premier franchises in all of video games.
There's sales data too! As it turns out, of all Capcom's franchises, the only ones that have sold more are Resident Evil and Street Fighter! But of course, they're dead too, right? |
Their actions to it speak differently compared to a PR statement ...

You asked for a statement, I gave you one. As I said, there's sales data too, straight from Capcom to back up their PR statement. They have it as their third most sold franchise, and recognize it as their most prestigious franchise.

And how many megaman games were there ? Having hundreds of games with less than 50 000 units for each does not make it a successful franchise. It's too bad that their statement doesn't match their actions ...

What's your point? You got the statement. Sure, it's too bad, but what's your point?
In my eyes Capcom was big and great during the early days of last gen. Hope they can regain their glory of that time, but RE6 was a huge downer for me. I haven't played it myself but I understand that it was more shooter and less horror... I loved RE4 and to a degree 5, but I decided not to buy 6 after reading a lot about it.
They have to make a few changes to become what they were though.
Yep.

Treating a franchise like shit just means that it probably doesn't make them any money ...

It wasn't a bad game, just a bad survival horror. Kind of like how Star Fox Adventures wasn't a bad game, just a bad scolling space shooter. The series can recover if they give it a chance, which it sounds like they plan to.

Probably? So this is all speculation to you then?

It's not completely out of sight as you think it is ... Actions ARE also EVIDENCE. All in all capcoms sees it as garbage that doesn't produce them cash.
