Capcom saving some surprises for E3

Even with all of the information that has become available following CAPTIVATE 09, Capcom is teasing more surprises for E3.

[Lord Shuhei Yoshida]

Lost Panet 2 for PS3 won't really be a surprise

[I did not murder him]

Can LP2 even run on PS3? LP2 is superior to the first and the 1st one barley ran on the PS3 and had inferior graphics by far.

I don't think it would be quite the same game on PS3. Its obvious Capcom is using unified techniques with some of the threads in different cores. That type of action and the blowing foliage etc would bring the PS3 to a crawl.

Thats a real question not flaming you.

[Cwalat]

1.1 -

Are you being sarcastic, or were you born this stupid ?

[Smacktard]

"It comes across more like a bare boned port of an action title, with weak controls, bland and unimpressive visuals, and significant frame rate issues in both the single and multiplayer versions of the game."

"The slowdown and overall visual fuzziness leave it looking unattractive and barren compared to the Xbox 360 version"

"Capcom has created a PS3 version of Lost Planet that includes extraordinarily limited bonus content and which doesn't run very well."

Wii gets flack because of Capcom's shortcomings with the Dead Rising port, so why shouldn't PS3 get flack because of Capcom's Lost Planet port shortcomings?

[PirateThom]

Because, PS3 proved it can run games that look better than Lost Planet.

Wii gets flack for Dead Rising, because it's removed the main element of the game - the hoards of zombies.

[I did not murder him]

We'll see right!?

Average multi platform games lag behind on the PS3 side.

No trouble No trouble You leave now.

This news is about two new games that are yet to be announced.

[OmarJA]

"I did not murder him" is just another malfunctioned bot created by M$, don't pay any attention to him... :D

Poor guy... :(

[I did not murder him]

That does not compute I'm a NS-5 unit.

[TheBand1t]

LP1 was bad on the PS3 due to lack of optimization. I could make a game with crap graphics and a horrible framerate if there is no optimization and code tweaking done at all.

[G4Chicks]

uh yea i did not murder him its true
the ps3 and 360 each have different ways to optimize their respective games. saying lost planet couldn't run on the ps3 is kind of ignorant.

[thebudgetgamer]

i think devs are alot better at coding for ps3 now then they were when the first lost planet came out. will it be released for ps3? i guess we will see what happens.

:) edit: deleted

[I did not murder him]

That does not compute all Multi platform games on PS3 are inferior. Some humans say that the engines are at fault or what you have just reiterated but my findings prove otherwise.

The three laws of Robotics
1) A robot can never harm a human. 2) A robot must obey all human orders unless it conflicts with the first law. 3) A robot must protect itself unless it conflicts with the first two laws.

Your consistent denial is harmful and must be corrected for the benefit of your well being.

*Smokes*

*deactivates*

[G4Chicks]

lol okay

[TheBand1t]

And PS3 exclusive games like Killzone 2 and Uncharted show it's not a lack of power on the PS3's part. Perhaps it's just that multiplat coding works marginally better on the 360?

It isn't like this is 2006/2007. The differences between most multiplats are so minute it's not even worth the time trying to find them

[Kamikaze135]

Seriously, somebody hand these guys a freaking reward for best developers of 2009. They've been coming out with AAA titles left and right.

[Smacktard]

And paid downloadable content days after their games are released!

wait what

[ThanatosDMC]

How bout DMC5 where Dante is actually the main character and they all act as if DMC4 never happened (aka Nero never existed). Hopefully they get Vergil back somehow. DMC1 he like teleported out or something he didnt die off like all of the DMC bosses.

[kingme71]

DMC5 is coming out this year. It's called Bayonetta.

[TheHater]

you forgot that those contents are already on the disk :)

[Beast_Master]

Mega Man HD? lol couldn't even imagine that one.

Resident Evil 6? please (with Leon and Chris trying to save Claire from Ada Wong's new Employer), and make the cry babies happy by updating the control scheme.

[panasonic23]

no but a new monster hunters game only xbox 360 will.

[El_Colombiano]

Haha that would be stupid. 360 is non-existent in Japan.

[Lord Shuhei Yoshida]

I disagree with you Colombiano.The 360 is not just non-existant in Japan,its non-existant everywhere

[Palodios]

We've seen what monster hunter did for the PSP in Japan. Why pay for all those rpgs when the best bet is putting stock into the biggest new series in Japan. Sure, the next game in the series is hitting the wii, but you never know who the wealthiest company in the industry will write its check to.

[Gamer_Politics]

i guess thats why 360 is still ahead by units/software sales......

[GiantEnemyCrab]

How does this Lord guy keep his bubbles when all he does is talk lies and bullsh*t about MS?

oh wait..

[green]

Pls just release Power Stone 2 on XBLA.

[sack_boi]

OMG can you imagine Power Stone 2 with online multiplayer?! That would be huge, for me.

[Bnet343]

Capcom vs. SNK 3, kthxbai

[G4Chicks]

power stone would be so good!
:)ryoma!

[rambi80]

been hoping for powerstone a long time now - the psp version sucks

[ceedubya9]

I throw in a vote for Capcom vs. SNK 3 as well. Part 2 still gives me fond memories.

[Ps_alm3k]

What is a 360???

[DNAgent]

In winter it's a heater.

[muddygamesite]

I think its about time they announced a non-westernised and commercialized version of Onimusha 5 or something of that nature. Its overdue. Enough of all the dancing around.

[Bnet343]

lol forgot about Onimusha. Capcom has so many good IP's, I don't think they have time to make sequels to all.

[Danja]

Onimusha in HD would be freakin awesome...

[themyk]

I heart onimusha. Been waiting patiently for the next one.

[ceedubya9]

I'm sure they are thinking about bring a lot of old favorites to this generation of consoles. Onimusha has to be on the top of their list.

[Arnon]

-More Monster Hunter
-Onimusha
-Powerstone
-Mega Man
-Okami
-Viewtiful Joe

and hell... I cant really think of anything right now because of how many they have.

[Palodios]

Nuff Said.

[Torkith]

God BoF 6 would be huge for me at least, I've played and beaten all in the series so far. The only thing is, I've been reading a bit lately and it does sound possible that one could be coming to the DS, The Takahashi brothers from Camelot Software Planning have been considering ways that the series could grow. I think they have some deal with Capcom. I'm not entirely sure. Here's a link.

http://www.cubed3.com/news/...

That being said, I would still buy it and play it, but I've always found Breath of Fire to be a console game. I have BoF 1+2 for GBA and I even imported BoF 3 for PSP. I played them but it was more satisfying to play them on the TV.

Regardless if a new BoF is announced and it's going to any system I'm set. 360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP....IDC...I have them all, any announcement would make me happy.

[M_Adkins]

I love BoF series. 3 was my favorite! Personally, it had the best world map of any rpg to date to me.

[kewlkat007]

Some old-school flavors

-Breath of Fire ( Great music from this series)

-Strider ( We need you back)

-Power Stone( ala capcom VERSUS style characters)

-Mega Man (I'd buy it)

-Marvel Vs ( I'd take SNK, Capcom or DC)

-Final Fight (Bring back one of my fav genre R.I.P Brawlers)

Looking forward

-Bionic Commando
-Dead Rising 2
-Resident Evil 5
-Lost Planet 2

I wouldn't mind CAPCOM buying the MK franchise from Midway and bring it back to it's 2D goodness...

[Freak of Nature]

And dont forget "Dark void" coming soon.....

I would love to see a brand spanking new "Ghouls 'n Ghosts"... Not an HD re-mix. A full blown next gen Triple A effort....Not holding my breath however....

[swiftshot93]

I hope a port of Lost Planet 2 isnt categorized as a "surprise" though. I have no interest in that franchise.

Still cant wait.

[Spike47]

It was still a very fun game, but jeez even Left 4 Dead "plays" better.

[Bnet343]

LP2 will be different than LP1. Haven't you been watching the videos?

[G4Chicks]

ive watched the videos and don't know what your talking about? im not trying to start something but it looks like the gameplay from lp1 and the action sequences are similar?

[GiantEnemyCrab]

@6.3: Well it looks similar in that it's still a third person shooter. What were you expecting? Him to be flying around with a jet pack or something?

Co-Op, new swinging mechanics, new weapons, new environments, new updated engine with gorgeous graphics, etc.

[interrergator]

plz put resident evil 1 2 and 3 on either xbl or psn idc just plzzz build up ur old game library for ppl to play

[ceedubya9]

How about a remake of Resident Evil 2, Nemisis, and Code Veronica. Even just RE2 will make me happy.

[interrergator]

i think thats gona stay a dream lol

[DNAgent]

Remakes & DLC? lol

[Abash]

Let Devil May Cry 5 be at this year's E3!

[The_Firestarter]

To me, that'd be a pretty big announcement.

Please let DMC5 be as awesome as DMC 1 & 3!!!

[Abash]

DMC3 and DMC1 were insane! DMC4 was just okay...

What DMC5 needs is more time as playing as Dante. And more missions would be great too.

[xboxman08]

yea im lookin for to the marvel vs capcom i love too see mega man strider and i reall would love to see capcom vs snk but i doubt it

[s8anicslayer]

I would love to see a marvel vs capcom with sf4 graphics, that would be really slick!

[Aclay]

Pretty much the only franchise I've been interested in from Capcom is Megaman... Megaman Legends 3 is pretty much the only thing I want from Capcom.

I never owned a Dreamcast, but remembered playing Powerstone at a friends house back in the day and really loved that game. It would be amazing to see them bring the old Powerstone games to the PSN/XBLA... or better yet, a next-gen PowerStone sequel.

[Spike47]

Yes I saw the videos, I didn't play the game. I only saw the graphics which are the best so far on the xbox360. Gameplay is another thing.

besides, with games like Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock 2 I don't know why one would be so excited about LP2. I'm not bashing the game, its just that the hype is just over the top.

[Bnet343]

Nah, the hype isn't over the top. People are just excited about the game. It was a AA game on Xbox 360. Plus, it's exclusive right now, that makes people more excited for obvious reasons ... -_-

[FFXI101]

More DLC on the way :p

[jBat17]

key codes to unlock content that's already in the disc..

[Spike47]

I'm foolish enough to try and slap some sense into some of these guys that say LP2 is the best looking game this gen. If at all, it is very close to Killzone 2, but I wouldn't compare them because it seems they have different styles.

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Please just give me Devil May Cry 5, non of that DMC4/DMC2 cr@p! Please!!

[mario8888]

MS$ paid Capcom for 5 exclusive characters. So capcom went to to Sony and Sony had no choice but to pay too. So now each version will have exclusive characters.

Xbots are rejoicing that they have exclusive Content and real gamers are b1tching again about another Multiplatform gimped Game.

THANK YOU MICROSOFT

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Where were all these "real gamers" last gen when one game after another on the Xbox got a crap port and never was optimized to the superior hardware?

How convenient for you to be able to blame everything on MS and how Sony is a saint.

[thebudgetgamer]

but they sure warent gimped. and in the end i ended up buying most games on my xbox. madden games allways looked better splinter cell and abunch more shooters.

edit: Man_of_the_year
im not bashing microsoft in anyway i love my xbox and i cant wait to get a 360 in my collection of consoles. crab stated. "never was optimized to the superior hardware". "technicaly" the ps3 is superior
but yet most games look better on 360. so what in your mind people that bought the other console are fanboys that hate microsoft?

[Man_of_the_year]

Yes MICROSOFT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU for thinking of me first. Your customer that bought your console. THANK YOU for not caring about what the fanboys that chose to purchase the other consoles think. THANK YOU for thinking of me FIRST.

MUCH APPRECIATED.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Your sorta right on that. Xbox just wouldn't even see the games at all. Heck with getting a gimped version they just skipped the Xbox all together. Just a couple examples like Psi-Ops, Terminator Redemption and Metal Gear all were gimped buggy crap on Xbox while their PS2 counterparts were not.

[thebudgetgamer]

for the most part its true but there were alot of games that were way better on xbox. like i said splinter cell allways ran better on xbox and i dont just mean graphics it actualy changed the gameplay with being able to shoot out lights in levels. all the tom clancy games. i think what im saying is that i dont think anyone should have to deal with gimped versions of multi-plats no matter what console you choose. we may not agree but bubble up for the fun debate.

:)

[Man_of_the_year]

Sorry bro. My response was to mario8888 who stated "MS$ paid Capcom for 5 exclusive characters. So capcom went to to Sony and Sony had no choice but to pay too. So now each version will have exclusive characters.

Xbots are rejoicing that they have exclusive Content and real gamers are b1tching again about another Multiplatform gimped Game.

THANK YOU MICROSOFT"

As if it was MS's evil doing to try and ruin this generation of gaming.

[ehkinoh]

I'm interested in how RE6 will be due to the announcement that they are going to be changing the gameplay drastically.

I am enjoying RE5 currently, though do feel that it was a slight stepback from RE4 (especially after enjoying Deadspace so much).

[nelsonkiki1988]

plz dino crisis series capcom bring it back but do it like the 2 first sequels not like the third cause that one suckkkkkk

[LostChild]

Some games I would like to see Capcom come out with.

MonsterHunter: Online (PS3/360)With CrossPlay or...
MonsterHunter: Remix (PSN/XBLA)
Strider: Remake like Bionic commando (PSN/XBLA)
Powerstone: (PSN/XBLA)
Onimusha5: (PS3/360)
Marvel vs Capcom3:(PS3/360) Using the SFIV Engine
X-Men vs Streetfighter:(PSP)
Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat (PS3/360)Using the SFIV Engine

[xino]

Strider game!?

the arcade ones were dead HARD! Only got to the second level where you fight those robot gorillas in the snow.

[jesuisankit]

Devil may cry with Co-op!!!! Dante and Nero.. if no co op plz keep dante in lead and get vergil back.. or heck DMC 5 with co-op Dante and Vergil.. THAT WOULD BE HUGE!!!!! can keep some extras like trish and lady around :P... and plz make it kick bayonetta's ass ( a fanboy call ):P

[JokesOnYou]

Other than DMC4 I really like Capcoms games, so whatever its I'm almost positive it will kickass.

JOY

[Finalflash22]

DINO CRISIS

[SonyRulz]

...the last one sucked so bad, it made people wish the franchise had never existed. :o

[specdoTsign]

It won't happen, because Capcom is just in it for the money, but I only ask for 3 things:
A new Megaman Legends
A new 2-d Megaman X game in HD (X1-X6) - they did it with MM9 why not X?
And for goodness sake, Marvel v. Capcom 2?! REALLY?! One of the most unbalanced fighters EVER?
Bring us real fight fans Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike with online multiplayer trophies/achievements and some added characters (mainly some SF:Alpha3 characters because let's face it, that was the best lineup of characters that Capcom has ever put together).

[mastiffchild]

I'm honestly glad that people are happy with Capcom even if I'm not. There's more than enough room for opinion here and mine is that they haven't been involved in an above average game since RE4.

LP2(I loved the idea of the first game but but was so montonous to play)will have to move firther away from the first game than what they're showing atm to tempt me, and while it's undeniably better looking than most games this gen I wouldn't make it the best looking 360 game either. Given that Capcoms desire for Co-op to be king of RE5(killed it stone dead as a SP game for me as Sheva's AI is cack)where it wasn't perfect I wouldn't hold out too much hope for LP2 til I see A LOT more.

SF4 was okay(SF2THDR was much better)minus the costume gouging but DMC4 is terrible, DR overrated(could have been great though)and I'm not sure I can play a game as the protagonist of DR2 the way he currently looks unless you can control the hive mind of the zombies to hunt the fool down(seriously-that jacket, wtf?). I don't want to even start on the things Cacom have inflicted on Wii owners post RE4 as it borders on cruelty in my book and I think they're being really hopeful if they think making MH3 pay to play online over the Wii Connect service is workable(though it really is a looker for a Wii game-prolly the best I've seen).

So while many long time Capcom fans are still excited by what they have up their sleeve this year I'm just left a bit jaded and cynical about them , and I've been a huge fan of them and several franchises(almost religiously of RE til RE5- and while much of that game looked good it was still very patchy over a full playthrough)for years and years.

I'm not alone in feeling this way either but, as I say, it's not something I can put my finger on ,just for me they aren't pulling out the same level of quality they did last gen. Hey, I know lots of people think that Capcoms PS360 performance has been great but the fact that opinion is so polarised(and not over any normal fanboy lines either)I find interesting and of you like the recent games then fair play it's all about enjoyment. Sadly, for me, the promise of two more Capcom games doesn't fill me with either excitement or hope anymore when it would always have done in the past.

What I don't think is debatable is the way they are just turning a quick buck on the Wii. PS360 owners wouldn't have put up with UC yet Wii owners have to get excited about another installment? After they suffered CTYD? They just sell games by name alone on Wii-very little sweat is broken on those games(even Okami and RE4 are mere ports really).
