It's Time To Start Trusting Capcom Again

After some less than stellar years, Capcom has been on fire lately. Has the company really managed to turn things around this quickly?

[Smokehouse]

Yeah I have loved the last 5 games I have bought from them. A few are remasters but they are killing it. Can’t wait to try dmc5 later.

[FalconofLucis98]

RE7 sucked balls, MHW, RE2 and DMC5 on the other hand.... yes.

[KyRo]

RE7 was bloody amazing! Then again I guess it's down to tastes as I really couldn't get into MHW. It was the first in the series I had tried but it was alot to take in.

[Smokehouse]

I enjoyed re7. Re2 was better though I agree. MVCi sucked though, I forgot that one.

[mezati99]

RE7 is a fucking masterpiece

[PoSTedUP]

we complained about re5-6, they listened. RE1 remaster, RE7, RE2 remaster. what more could i ask? apology accepted, capcom!

[Sirk7x]

Have you played it in VR? Friggin' terrifying.

[Thundercat77]

You are crazy. RE7 is spectacular and revived the franchise.

[Larrysweet]

Re7 arguably scariest and best

[Movefasta1993]

good and great games they released this gen: Monster hunter 4u, Monster hunter gen ultimate, monster hunter 5, dmc5, res 2, res7. They have been the best so far this gen for me. SF and Marvel were big dissapoinments but I am more of a tekken guy anyways

[monkey602]

Dead Rising 4 was a stinker too 😔

[Dacapn]

Capcom is making great games except for their fighting game division. They still haven’t figured their sh*t out yet.

[jaymacx]

They need to change the art direction for SF. Also give us the complete package day one. SF5 almost felt like a free to play game when it released. It’s come a long way since then but this practice is unacceptable. As for Infinite, it was boring and the roster was weak. It also needed better art direction.

[Fluttershy77]

Oh I would love them to go back to the Alpha series

[SuperSonic91]

Power Stone 3
Mega Man Legends 3
Dino Crysis 3

[jaymacx]

I never lost faith in them. I have been disappointed though, but I knew they’d get it together eventually.
Low point for Resident Evil- RE6
Low point for Devil may cry - letting another studio do DMC
Low point for Mega Man - no new entry in a long time
Low point for Marvel vs Capcom- Infinite was mediocre and lacked the roster and soul of the older games.
Lowest point was Bionic commando for 360/ps3
As a Japanese 3rd party, they have some of the biggest IPs. Hopefully they can return to glory with their fighting games as they have with it’s other games.

[Sevir]

I'm in the minority but I loved DmC:Devil May Cry and wished they'd have done that instead of DMC5 especially since they swapped the Canon for DMC again.

I'm not upset we got a DMC5 though as I think, both of those could exist. But they'll never happen because NT is owned by MS.

[Shiken]

What do you mean "Swapped again"? It was never swapped before to my knowledge.

Anyway DmC should have always been its own IP, they were just milking the name. The game was not bad. But I am in the camp that would be very upset if they made DmC2 instead of DMC5. I have been waiting for a proper sequel to DMC4 for a long time, and hope they never stray from the mainline canon again.

[thatguyhayat]

I lost faith in them with the stunt they pulled with Asuras Wrath. But im starting to trust them again with MH world, Resident evil 2 and Onimusha remaster. Havent picked up Devil May cry 5 yet

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

What did they do wrong with Asuras Wrath? It was a good game.

[paintedgamer1984]

How have capcom not made a new dino crisis yet?

[mgszelda1]

That's what I said

[NarutoFox]

Hopefully RE8 is good

[generic-user-name]

Hopefully it has vr support like 7.

[SockeyBoy]

After they just said that they'll bring DMC5 to the Switch is Dragon Dogma sells well...I don't think so. In good time.

[Godmars290]

No. never trust a game company to put out a good, uncompromised, product. Each new title, much a sequel, has to be judged as if from someone you've never heard of.

Otherwise we get the industry we've largely got now, of which many segments take us for granted. We get "Games as Services" and $90 DLC for $60 games.

[gangsta_red]

Give me a Power Stone, Breath of Fire and a new D & D beat 'em up...plus throw in a Darkstalkers for good measures and I'll definitely forever be on board.

[DVAcme]

In the last couple of years, I've bought RE7, REMake 2, Dragon's Dogma (for the fourth time!) Megaman 11 and Monster Hunter World. Can't wait for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and I'm crossing my fingers they finally start work on Dragon's Dogma 2. Capcom's been crushing it lately.

[Relientk77]

Still waiting for a new proper Breath of Fire game

[Lovable]

And no one gives a F about Onimusha remaster? That game was a gem in PS2 and thank god for bringing it in PS4

[Movefasta1993]

it's cool but we want a next gen onimusha, or at least remaster them all in a package.

[PurpHerbison]

When they release a good fighting game with no bs attached I'll trust them again.

[jbull]

There back in the game so going forward from this gen into the next we want to see in no particular order:
Dino Crisis
Onimusha remake
RE: Nemesis & Code Veronica
Resident Evil 8
DMC 6
Power Stone

[isarai]

I really want to start seeing the more experimental things they used to dabble in like Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance, GODHAND, Viewtiful Joe, etc. Not to knock what they've been doing lately cause damn they are killing it, i just used to love seeing all the different things coming from Capcom back in the day and would like to see that come back

[Doomster1971]

If they get rid of Microtransactions in their games (especially SF5) then yes I'll trust them. They should go back to the DLC model. It worked (kind of). Although dead or alive 6's DLC is nuts. Nearly £100 for season pass 1? I'd love to have been a fly on the wall to see what meeting they must have had to have come up with that. They must have had some pretty good LSD for that meeting.

[Traecy]

I'm enjoying RE2:R & RE7 was good,Onimusha Remastered is good & I just bought DMC5. Imo Capcom is doing fine.

[pyroxxx]

Crapcom on the roll,.. everything they release is really good.

[--bienio--]

I already did that when they released RE2

[Vandamme21]

Of course. Capcom is my favorite game company. I’ve enjoyed every game, they made this generation. Except for Monster hunter world. It just wasn’t my type of game.

[Flewid638]

They put passion into everything they make....except for their fighting games. lol.

RIP SFxT, RIP MVC, RIP SFV

[KTF26]

Vote with your wallet for good games not companies
sure Capcom recently released very good games but that doesn't give them a pass if they released a bad game in future

[BlaqMagiq1]

Capcom rose up from the grave

[Lexreborn2]

I never stop trusting them, I loved the strider remake, I loved SFV regardless what everyone else felt, I loved Resident Evil 7 and recently started enjoying Monster Hunter World WHICH is the first monster hunter game I actually liked playing.

I never cared for the dead rising series so they never lost me there because it never had me. I love Megaman games and can’t think of a Megaman game of late I haven’t liked. I even really enjoyed DmC so they have my trust period.

[Thundercat77]

In my book, Capcom is on the green.

I loved RE7 and R2 Remake. I hope Athry make a Dino Crisis remake too.

[NapalmSanctuary]

Don't be the fanboy. I know they've been doing pretty good but its still the company that tried to turn RE into CoD.

[CJLogix]

Me after they released:
RE7: im like yay they saved resident evil!
MHW: woah.. they actually put some work into MHW this is fantastic!
RE2 Remake: yep Capcom has their mojo back.
And now im about to play DMC 5 :)

[criticalkare]

Really enjoying dmc5 and more good games to come looking forward to re3 remake and new onimusha

[chris235]

no. not really. besides monster hunter world there hasn‘t been much good stuff that was worth the while.. close to zero.

[SkippyPaccino]

If Days Gone turns out to be another great game by Sony, I think it's time to start trusting them also... I find ever since Capcom stopped doing exclusives for Microsoft is when they turned it around.

[StarkR3ality]

They have been the success story of late. Among all the bull that other Devs are pulling like EA, Activision etc.

Genuinely love the fact they are focusing on amazing single player focused games, Resident Evil's downfall broke my heart, genuinely love that franchise and they brought it back better than ever.

Never played devil may cry but I know it means a lot to the gamers that play it, and it looks like they've made another absolute gem

Please please please, other companies take note. All it takes to be successful is give your fans what they want, and they will buy your products.

[Larrysweet]

Wheres all the micritransaction haters for dmc v huh huh oh it dont matter now eh people kill me boycott one game or studio for it yet oh its no big deal for another damn clowns

[Sieg]

Quality games, proper PC support, and good business practice is what makes a good relationship between companies and consumers. Capcom is on the right track and I hope they can keep this up.

[Hardiman]

It just shows that even successful companies can lose sight of what matters but being able to pivot and get back on track is pretty amazing!

I can think of a few companies that I wish could do what Capcom has done.

[lio_convoy]

DMC5 is fun, provided you can look past a few of the games graphic shortcomings. Not kidding. Collision detection is very low-res to help framerates, and character shadows on characters are an absolute joke when not in direct sunlight. (Jump on top of Nico's van in the demo stage and look down at shadows under Nero's feet to see exactly how the team pulled off another framerate saving trick. You'll laugh once you realize just what they did!) There's lots more, but seriously, this game is more than the sum of it's parts. MVCI wasn't a bad game, it just was lazy and the put the effort into the wrong things (story mode - seriously, nobody cared and nobody wanted it). SFV sucked when it first came out, and TBH it still is pretty rancid if you're a day one adopter. Megaman 11 was good. Capcom got lazy for a while and it showed. But truth is they're on the right path now. Hopefully they continue the trend and when MVC4 comes out, it's what everybody was hoping for when we got MVCI.

[Knightofelemia]

I trust Capcom over EA and Activision any day

[SugarSoSweet]

As a dedicated Capcom hater I have to give credit where it's due:

RE7, Monster Hunter, RE2 REMAKE, DMC 5 have all been pretty good.

However I'm still salty about the colossal MESS that was Street Fighter V and Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite.
