Which company needs to redeem itself the most next generation, Square Enix, Capcom, or EA?

This generation in particular was unlike any other before it. While we have seen many great games, we've also seen many blatant negative issues come about. Whethere it be exploitation, DLC abuse, fan neglect, or just plain greed, this generation was rife with it. Many companies are guilty. But Square Enix, Capcom, and Electronic Arts are probably the three that are among the top in that regard. So between the three, which one do you feel needs to redeem itself the most?

Dare I say it because my favourite games fall under their library, but Square Enix. Unfortunately they are the developers that need the most reform.

What major wrong has Namco done?

Yes, they've failed to bring several games to the west, but that is nothing compared to what S/E and Capcom have done.

@godmars

the last dbz game was pretty crappy compared to the others.

Heisenburger3901d ago

@Godmars

Perhaps that's why they are third on the list, hmm?

MWong3901d ago

I'm going to say overall Square-Enix needs to really redeem themselves the next-gen. While the Tomb Raider reboot was pretty kick-ass, but SE just didn't deliver like they have with previous console cycles.

EA to me they need to really go back to the drawing board with their sports lineup. Same thing can be said about Capcom with Resident Evil. At the same time both EA & Capcom had a lot of great game.

the only decent Square games these gen were the ones made by Eidos, Capcom revived 2D fighting games by itself with SFIV and EA has more amazing games than both combined.

I think it's Square the one that needs redemption.

Godmars2903901d ago

"Capcom revived 2D fighting games by itself with SFIV"

And promptly crapped over everything with DLC and new versions of the same games, which then didn't use the old DLC.

As for EA it was specifically their company policies which messed up their "good games" and directly pissed people off.

Not that compared to all that Square have messed up in both policies and game quality. Had the additional nerve to be arrogant about it.

The_Sneauxman3901d ago

I don't actually own any Square-Enix games but I have seen plenty of dislike since the merger.
Square-Enix needs to prove itself or I'm afraid gamers will spell their doom

MrBeatdown3901d ago

Capcom easily. EA makes some great games, and Square Enix, even if FF has gone downhill, still makes great games like Tomb Raider, Hitman, and DX.

Capcom's biggest accomplishment this gen was ruining RE.

solidjun53901d ago

Crapcom. After they tried every thing in their power to milk people for more money, They really have to do something special in order for me and a lot of gamers to buy their games from here on out. The on disc dlc of characters -blanka for example, who was already in ssfae- behind a pay wall of characters to the dlc for the "true" ending to "Asura's Wrath."
Honorable mentions include canceling MegaMan Legends, and ruining Resident Evil.

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.

I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence

solideagle12d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger12d ago

Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.

carrotcakeag11d ago

@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.

jznrpg15d ago

Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
