Capcom Is Losing Money? It Can’t Be True

The Tyuno Project: "So I know I’m late to the party with this story, but I want to say something about this issue. So news are spreading around the internet that Capcom is losing money. Reports are saying that Capcom only have about 125 million dollars in the bank. Capcom have acknowledge this issue and made a statement saying that it will focus on creating new DLCs. Now it’s ashamed that Capcom is facing this financial crisis but to be truly honest, Capcom did this to themselves."

Although I'm sure that nintendo has an exclusive contract but I'm pretty sure capcom wishes mh4 was multiplatform right now. An extra million sales of the franchise wouldn't hurt.

PSNintyGamer4293d ago

Doubt that Nintendo Money Contract + 'Monster' Monster Hunter Sales = $$$$

GreenRanger4292d ago (Edited 4292d ago )

@ PSNintyGamer

Capcom would get more money if MH was multiplatform.

When a game is exclusive, you always have people who want the game but don't want to buy the console/handheld it's on, or they just can't afford another console or handheld.

How many people wouldn't buy a game because it's a multiplatform title? Not a lot, I'd bet.

EVERY exclusive game in the history of the games industry would have sold more if they were multiplatform games.

insomnium24292d ago

@green

Porting costs money too. Money made from exclusivity deals make up for the sales losses to some extent.

It's not all black and white.

Studio-YaMi4292d ago

I agree to a point,but don't forget that porting the game and polishing it for another gaming platform costs money too.

Maybe they just can't handle the stress right now,who knows ?

zeal0us4293d ago

They screw most of their franchises up, made them look like quick cash grabs and cancel games that fanbase wanted.

Creating new dlc isn't going to help much. They have a portfolio of games they should be trying put some of these old games on multiple platforms and selling them at a decent and attractable price.

TrevorPhillips4293d ago

It's no wonder why so many people have left Capcom. A good friend of mine Vince Tran has left, Shinji and Christian Svensson

pr0t0typeknuckles4293d ago

its okay guys you can get it together just rape Dante again,keep megaman in his cellar,and butcher resident evil,the kids will love it

Faux dinosaurs give them great hope.

Oh….wow, RE6 huh….urm, cool, just what we always wanted.

1Victor155d ago

EW
NOOOOOOOOOO
In what mind make sense to do this with the worse game on the series 🤦🏿

DivineHand125156d ago

I loved Resident Evil 4 back in the day and enjoyed Resident Evil 5 even though I had to do co-op to beat the final boss. Shiva was just too dumb.

Resident Evil 6 on the other hand, was so bad that I stopped playing after an hour in the game. That was before I even played any high-quality single-player games outside of Mass Effect, Portal, and Skyrim. I can't imagine playing RE6 now.

Chances are their next remake will be 5.

Profchaos155d ago

I just don't get why it's already on the platforms via BC unless it's a remake which would piss everyone off as fans are hoping for either the original game or code veronica to get the remake treatment

CrimsonWing69155d ago

Isn’t it already backwards compatible?

Capcom Plans To Create Mega Man Games On An Ongoing Basis

Capcom is planning to develop brand new titles in the Mega Man franchise on an ongoing basis in the future.

Question is always going to be what are you going to do with it? Capcom has burnt mega man fans many a time and trust is low overall so I think a bold new direction may not be the best idea unless it's backed with a sonic mania style project alongside it.

I could see a bold new 3d take on the Willy wars alongside a mania style game being very popular.

Just keep it far away from Live services and loot boxes

DarXyde336d ago

Hear me out.

........I think they could pull off a MetroidVania Mega Man.

Even better: make it Megaman X, but in a pre-X7 style.

Old McGroin336d ago

Or maybe do what Nintendo did with Metroid. Go from a 2D platformer to a 3D game, like Metroid Prime.

shinoff2183337d ago

Sounds like a plan Capcom. Just don't forget the disc. Also I think alot of the mega man base would love to see a return of the rpg

Brazz336d ago (Edited 336d ago )

You know... I realy think a MM game that plays like ratchet and clank can work great! Mega Man can be very light hearted and family friendly, something for everyone If they use a formula similar to Ratchet and Clank, i realy want to see Capcom giving It a try.

Resident Evil 5 - 15 Years of Being the Most Misunderstood Resident Evil

Resident Evil 5 launched 15 years ago today - and it continues to stand as a stepping stone from the good to the bad.

TheBrainZ476d ago

One of my favourites because of the co-op. Then Resi 6 arrived and the series nosedived further.

Knightofelemia476d ago

I enjoyed the game co-oping with a friend I know the game in solo the AI can be an idiot but RE5 is way better then RE6. I played RE6 with a friend if it wasn't cheap when I got I would have avoided RE6.

thesoftware730476d ago (Edited 476d ago )

5 was excellent, still play Mercs with my brother.
I would love a fully remastered RE:5, with some added, reworked content. The DLC for 5 was also excellent.

6 was awful.

CrimsonWing69476d ago

I never understood why the game was misunderstood. It was a fantastic game at launch and is still fun today to play. It’s as action packed as Resident Evil 4 was, yet that’s regarded a masterpiece 🤷‍♂️

chobit_A5HL3Y476d ago

it was "misunderstood" because they introduced co-op into the franchise at a time when people loved to have fake rage about co-op. like, you could play the game as a solo experience, but people chose to have their bandwagon rage because it was cool at the time lol

-Foxtrot475d ago (Edited 475d ago )

What the hell are you talking about? Fake Rage? Bandwagon? Come on.

You can play it solo but you are forced to carry around a shitty AI partner you have to micro manage. It wasn't as fun solo.

Co-op sucked all the horror, tension and suspense from the game because having a partner covering you was like a safety net. Enemy trying to sneak up on you? No sweat the AI will just automatically lock on, alert you while they shoot first telling you where they are basically.

It was the start of Capcoms fall with the Resident Evil series where it basically become an over the top generic action game which betrayed it's own survival horror roots. Least RE4 had a good blend of both but Capcom just went the wrong way with RE5, especially going off what they were going to do during the RE4.5 beta phase before co-op was added.

franwex475d ago

At least the game was a ton of fun tho. If the game was bad, the outrage would’ve been justified. They simply pivoted for a couple of games. At this point it’s bad because it’s called Resident evil 5? But if was called something else it would’ve been good? Please.

chobit_A5HL3Y474d ago

like i said: fake baby rage and bandwagon hate. res4 wasn't really that scary, either, and was already taking the series into more of an action-oriented direction at the time. 5 was a good game that people fake-hated because of co-op that you didn't even have to play lol hence the fake rage and bandwagon hate. i mean, it obviously did well enough for capcom to go ahead and make 6 the way they did, right? if 5 was so bad, they would have changed what 6 was during development. the difference is that 6 was actually just bad.

people "hate" 5 because res4 was so good, and 5 was just unfortunate enough to be its successor. like i said, 4 wasn't scary, either, and relied more on tension than horror, but it was already more of an action game. if you don't wanna like 5 because it's not scary or whatever- that's fine, but it wasn't meant to be strictly a horror game anymore at that point anyways. the gameplay was a lot faster-paced than 4, so saying that the ai helping you by potentially shooting someone that was sneaking up behind you is a moot point. there were more enemies that were more aggressive, along with newer threats.

5 isn't as good as 4, but it's not a bad game by any stretch.

RNTody450d ago (Edited 450d ago )

What? I always thought RE5 had fake controversy because it was set in South Africa and you shot a bunch of black zombies. I live in South Africa and thought the game was absolutely awesome, played the whole thing co-op with my brother.

@Foxtrot I think you're confusing the garbage Dead Space 3 with Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 4 was already a hyper action game and had zero fear factor other than the grotesque appearance of some enemies.
