Capcom Co., Ltd. today announced that in its consolidated earnings for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, net sales were 152,410 million yen (up 21.0% year-over-year), operating income was 57,081 million yen (up 12.3% year-over-year), ordinary income was 59,422 million yen (up 15.7 % year-over-year), and net income attributable to owners of the parent was 43,374 million yen (up 18.1 % year-over-year).
Hey Capcom I want a remake of Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 on Switch or, maybe Switch 2. I loved both of those games on GameCube.
Good. capcom and square enix were my two favourite developers and now it's just CapCom! Square enix keeps missing the mark, their sparks gone.
Following the closure of 4 studios, many are now worried for the future of Ninja Theory once Hellblade 2 is released.
Because they're next come next year. HB2 won't hit some impossible metric within MS so they're getting axed in 2025. Leave gaming now MS.
Every xbox studio is in danger now because there’s just no way they’re gonna rake in big money from game sales because of gamepass, even CoD was rumored to not come to gamepass because it would canibalize their sales number.
Ninja theory games were never big sellers. I could be wrong, but I doubt hellblade 2 will sell millions. I would rather they go independent and make heavenly sword 2.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
...Now this is going too far.
I understand if you hate the game to the point the names Capcom and Ninja Theory makes your blood boil. But seriously, this is immaturity at its finest.
Ninja Theory have the right to laugh - people have no right to feel entitled to anything. At least you're getting another freaking DMC game - it's better than nothing.
Not to mention that the game is awesome and totally deserving of the praise it's receiving.
The guy said it was a good game but not DMC so he rated it 0/10? Yeah thats why he doesn't review games for a living.
This is Dragon Age 2 all over again. Glowing reviews, fans absolutely hate it.
Why does this happen every time a bad game gets bad user reviews despite reviews "liking" the game...people are striking out against the reviews that journalists have done because they don't make sense, most of them don't actually talk about the good things in the game and the ones who do contradict the things people experienced first hand in the demo, which was taken from the final version of the game.
It's a bad DMC game, users are speaking out about it, Capcom obviously learnt there lesson from RE6 reviews, they thought the brand name would automatically give it good scores but they were wrong. I don't know what they've done behind closed doors but they've done something and I've said so since last year this would happen. You don't say nothing about the fan back lash for two years, do your normal previews then SUDDENLY a month before release, defend the game as much as you can with article after article...then funnily enough that site is the first to give it a good score.
A sequel in a popular franchise is supposed to evolve, not take a step back. If everything seems more dumbed down, easy and accessible then the past games, especially from 60fps to 30 then sorry but it doesn't deserve high scores. Most of the things they've "praised" this game for they criticized for other low scored games they've reviewed.
Rather listen to fan feedback then reviewers.....they could either be payed off or threaterned that there mag/site won't get the next scoop on a new Capcom game, thus giving there site/mag lower sales/hits.
Maybe a zero is extreme but NT has ticked off the fanbase....it's their own fault
