You don't say?

showtimefolks4100d ago

its capcom who have been worst than EA as a publisher, they went from a great publisher which made quality games last gen to just money hungry and greediness till they get every cent out of you

on disk dlc check
character dlc for SF check
selling actual ending of a game via DLC check,asura wrath

i buy all capcom games used since i rather give my money to someone on ebay or a used game retailer than to capcom.

Root4100d ago

Money....I always imagine Mr Krabs saying that

"So why did you want to make the Krusty Krab 2"

"....money"

ThanatosDMC4100d ago

Well, they're also selling Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen which is basically the ultimate edition, which is basically MvC3 to UMvC3.

Forbidden_Darkness4100d ago

For someone who is just buying it for the expansion, I agree... But someone just buying into the franchise, its a great deal indeed. I'll be picking it up after its release either way, when its like $25 dollars or so, just to save more money

Mounce4100d ago

Just like why they're not making it on PS Vita.

They'd think it not make them enough profit to warrant it. Screw RE fanbases or Vita owners wanting a good game.

'Money'.

metroid324100d ago

Vita has sold so poor i have to agree with Capcom keep your Monster hunter's and Resident evils on 3ds.

ABizzel14100d ago

@metroid

Then what's the excuse for putting it on the Wii-U. ZombiU is the best selling non-Nintendo game and it hasn't even broke 500,000 copies sold and it's the 3rd best selling game on the Wii-U.

younghavok4099d ago

With the poor sales of the vita i wouldnt port it over either. Not only is the hardware selling poorly but so is the software. Big name games are struggling to find legs on the system. CoD AC LBP PSASBR just to name a few. If sonys big name games arent selling why bother? And before people start the Wii U crap, one is 3 months old, one is over a year. Capcom has already sold 200k on the console in japan alone where the sales arent even at a million yet, thats a pretty good number. So why not bring over another title thats kind of the same?

Mounce4099d ago

@younghavok - Did you just call the CoD Vita game a 'Big name game'? Hah....hah....

Games sell the hardware, the only way to make the hardware sell is games and publicity/advertisement and marketing.

So you're saying, because the launch games and after a year that it hasn't sold many games that came for it, yet none were 'MASSIVE', to give up? lol....

The idea is this....Make MORE GAMES...Better games, and games that push it more and more, not simply Give up, it's reasons like that why you don't work for gaming companies :L Lest a "Eh, this series didn't sell to my quoto, let's give up" type of expression would be more frequent...

Riderz13374100d ago

LOL 50$ for a HD port? F*ck off Capcom.

InTheLab4100d ago

I love the reasoning for it..

"Umm, it's in HD, new raid mode, it's in HD, new characters, it's in HD, unlockables, it's in HD, platinum trophy, it's in HD....oh, and it's in HD".

F*** off indeed.

TheDivine4100d ago

I won't buy it but to be fair it's a year old game that sells for 40 on a handheld totally redone in HD with new stuff added in and an expanded raid mode. I paid 40 day 1 (2 copies actually one was for my bro) and it was well worth it. Best RE since 4 by FAR!

I still say should've been the 40 the 3ds title cost but its Capcom. Its def worth it if you missed it. It's long, fun, tense, scary atmosphere, has the classic feel, and raid mode is the best coop in RE ever IMO. So addictive.

Number-Nine4100d ago

This is the company that originally wanted to sell the handheld version for $50. Now they finally have a legit excuse to sell it at that price! woohoo...go capcom!

....god i hate them.

PopRocks3594100d ago

I remember originally they stated it was because the cartridge held more data than the 3DS standard. Which is odd because Kid Icarus Uprising did as well, AND was bundled with the stand and that game was still only $40.

I agree, it was just to squeeze out more money, but hey, at least the game was worth it. I would never pay near as much for RE6. Sad that a portable game wound up being so much better than a full on numbered release.

Steam Uproar as Capcom Slips In Restrictive DRM Software

From Xfire: "Steam users and the larger PC gaming community are lashing out at Capcom over a streak of sneaky DRM updates as the Japanese gaming giant continues to flirt with controversy"

LordoftheCritics80d ago

RIP

Capcom turning into Ubisoft.

Well success can have that effect.

just_looken80d ago

Yep this shows how bad a digital world is now well for the old titles new games disc or not the drm is there but you can get the old games on dvd then try to monkey the last pre drm update onto the game files.

I love GOG for this reason i saw that skyrim bs update so i know not to run that version as gog you can select what patch to download/install with capcom hopefully we get a list of the update numbers that add this horrific drm.

With denuvo as a alder lake pc user it still has issues with E cores and i remember when the servers were taken offline forcing hundreds of games to be paperweights.

FinalFantasyFanatic80d ago

It's also really annoying how they can cut or change content later, like the Skull Girls controversy, a decade later after the game came out, they decide to censor it. The game is a decade old, if it's not broken, leave it, adding DRM back into older games is BS.

just_looken80d ago

@final

Good point even major sp games got the cut after the fact be it last of us with maps/art or gta 5 removing stuff in the world.

Cyberpunk ps4 day one disc copy the sept build still has stuff the other versions no longer have.

With the gta 6 controversy right now i think back to the days of saints row creating a character beating up cops with a dildo bat and now we have elon crying over gta 6 guns killing cops i bet you if they made saints row 2 hd they would half to cut half the games content or go to jail lol also sad.

Was watching avatar last airbender 13yr old ang kissing katar again can not have that in a kids show or game now.

PRIMORDUS80d ago (Edited 80d ago )

Do they want more of their games to be torrented? Seems like it, I don't mind 🤣 Just ripped them a new asshole on Twitter, as I do not care what I say or post on there LOL.

banger8880d ago

Let me guess, you have a vpn enabled. For your sake I hope it's not in any 5 Eyes territories.

PRIMORDUS80d ago

I have ExpressVPN but on Twitter I don't use it lol. For other things I use it :D

Barlos80d ago

Nice. I got a lifetime ban on Twitter back in 2020 for speaking my mind. Don't care tbh, I'm not really into social media. I don't even have a Facebook account.

PRIMORDUS79d ago

I'm still trying to get banned to lol I'll keep at it 🤣 I have FB but maybe log in once a month but yeah always speak your mind no matter how bad the words come out, do not hold back online or IRL. Fuck them shit bags lol.

got_dam80d ago

This is classic Capcom. They everything they go on a hot streak and win back some consumer good will they have to turn around and burn it to the ground and have to start the whole process again.

Chocoburger80d ago (Edited 80d ago )

Additional DRM just pushes people to pirate more. These ignorant executives just don't get it. Only the legitimate customer is affected by DRM. 😕

Darkegg80d ago

Drm punishes legit customers and encourage hackers. It’s the wrong way to go about it.

It's Time For Resident Evil's Most Unique Mode to Make a Comeback

With series staple Mercenaries Mode returning to the Resident Evil 4 Remake, it’s time to remind fans of another mostly forgotten mode from the RE series. Reaching the second chapter in the 2012 3DS game Resident Evil: Revelations unlocked something called Raid Mode for players to enjoy. Unlike Mercenaries, Raid Mode is not a time-attack mode and instead operates as a more RPG-lite version of the main game. While players are expected to try and hammer down on a handful of levels in Mercenaries, Raid Mode gives players a much more expansive game type to play around with.

This mode was included in ports released on the seventh and eighth generations of consoles and was part of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, which was released in 2015. However, the Revelations duology is the only time that Raid Mode has existed in the massive Resident Evil franchise, and that should change in some future release.

I'd like to raid mode make a return in the future. When Capcom was hacked there was a as of yet announced RE game in there that I was hoping might turn into Revelations 3. There were also reports that whatever that RE game was scrapped and cancelled.
