Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Capcom: Dead Rising Chop sold Ok. More demakes comming!!!

alfredofroylan on 06 January 2010

Uuuhhhh but the French guy said they're leaving.....

As for moments that didn’t quite hit or miss, Seth was a little more obtuse, but he did throw me a bone. “I’m preaching to the choir on this one, but Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop definitely got a bad rap. If you stop counting the number of zombies on the screen and just play, you’ll have some fun. People couldn’t help comparing it to the X360 game, which I can understand, but it did okay at retail, so I’d put this in a grey area.”

So Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop wasn’t a flop at retail, nor was it low moment for Capcom. Amazing. So what was? What was the low moment for Capcom in 2009? Was Seth even going to tell me, or was the infamous “we’re proud of all our titles” talk-block about to be put into play?

So this game wasn't a flop but Flock was. Anyway with Dark Void DSi seems like they have more at the bag.

To conclude on the topic of past and future, I had to ask a bit more about Dark Void Zero, the strictly under-wraps DSi demake of the upcoming 360/PS3 title. Was this game a signal that we’d be getting more NES-style games from Capcom this year?

Grinning ear to ear, Seth let me know that he’s “... happy to say there’s something else distinctly demake-esque coming soon. Of course, there’s also Mega Man 10, which isn’t so much a demake as a straight up high-five to the joys of classic gaming...”

And with that, we’re out of time. Tune in next time, when I talk more with Seth about Dark Void, Dark Void Zero, and Mega Man 10.

Ask three different Capcom employees how any given Wii title does and you'll get three different answers.

As for games on the HD consoles, they're boasted about if they were a success and not mentioned at all if they weren't. I'm sure Bionic Commando was a much lower point for Capcom than Flock could ever be. For that matter, so was Spyborgs.

But this is Seth who usually knocks Wii, so if he says it sold okay, it must have sold okay.   Probably in the low end of expectations which were probably quite low considering the bad rap it had before release.

Doesn't mean they'll make more though.  Just means they probably broke even or better.

Grab a concept and try to make it "older" gaving a retro atmosphere, for example here's a picture of a demake from American Mc Gee's Alice

Looks like a Windows 3.1 thing. dark Void for the DSiware is another example of demake.

A lot of people take new games and "demake" them for the NES.  Here's Final Fantasy X running on the NES.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCUMGW2Sw5A&feature=related

I've also seen Resident Evil and GTA III on the NES, and I think somebody made a Guitar Hero for the Atari 2600, but I think that was a joke that didn't actually work.

Technically, Double Dragon and Contra on the NES were demakes.

As for more from Capcom, good. Why? Because Dead Rising isn't just some information black hole. They can actually use what they learned from it to make better conversions.

Plus with the MT Framework being ported to the Wii, they'll have even better tools this time (not that the RE4 Engine is bad, just likely not made for games of larger scale).



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

BTW, the game now stands at 200K. Not as much as they hoped, but even a well-budgeted Wii game can turn a profit with that (and if the game was as cheap as many claim, it cannot be a flop in that case).

"maybe to hardcore (whatever that means) Wii games"

Capcom is not hardcore?

 

 

I like demakes.

A remixed Resident Evil 5, perhaps?



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
