Devil May Cry and Resident Evil Are Now "Major Brands" For Capcom

Capcom now considers Devil May Cry, which was once a niche series for them, as one of their major brands along with Resident Evil.

What!?, Good job Capcom, you just displayed yourself how damn clueless you are, seriously why until now they start considering Devil May Cry or RE as major brands?, this are damn huge franchises since the PS2 and PS1, same goes for Monster Hunter on the PS4 is also a major brand, also to name a few Dinocrisis, Omnimusha , Darkstalkers, lots of fighting games like Rival Schools are major brands but it seems Capcom just don't like money, oh well.

Man atleast Capcom isn't being greedy lately. I hope they stay 😎 and keep making awesome games

Asura wrath remaster

They have completely forgotten about rival schools, I was hoping for a project Justice remastered but that will never happen.

I guess you are the clueless guy by just relying on the title of an article, just read it and you will see that THIS TITLE is BS AND They always considered dmc and Resident evil as major brands.....

its a clickbait title and a shitty article.

Dino Crisis says hello

[DarXyde]

Dino Crisis was great, but kind of redundant next to Resident Evil. If they do enough to showcase a newfound divergence, I say great. But if they bring it back to mimic RE's direction, I cannot say that's a good move.

Resident Evil is Capcom’s most successful franchise. They obviously already considered it to be major brand.

Devil May Cry has also been a very prominent series for Capcom for a long time.

[UltraNova]

Both IPs are No 1 & 2 in total Capcom IP sales since their debut.

Some times I wonder if these guy's know what the hell they are talking about...

[FallenAngel1984]

While Resident Evil is their #1 most successful franchise, Devil May Cry is not their #2 most successful franchise

1.) Resident Evil - 92 million
2.) Monster Hunter - 55 million
3.) Street Fighter - 43 million
4.) Mega Man - 35 million
5.) Devil May Cry - 20 million

DMC as a franchise still sold well enough to be considered a big brand for Capcom even before DMC5. It’s in their top 5 most successful series for a reason.

[zodiac909]

Did it take the head of Capcom 20 years to realize that Resident Evil was a "Major Brand..."???

[AK91]

Oh wow I thought they were done with DMC after DMC5 sales, yes I know it broke records for the DMC series but comparison to RE2 Remake it can’t even compare.

I just hope they don’t make it a co-op Game with Microtransactions *looking at you Project Resistance*

[DarXyde]

I still want a solid remake of Outbreak.

[AK91]

Me too

[amobius]

No shit

[FernDiggidy]

GIVE US VIEWTIFUL JO!!!!!!!!!!!

CMON, CAPCOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sgt_Slaughter]

Devil May Cry 5 didn't do so hot sales wise so I'm surprised they're still going forward with the franchise. Yes it eventually became the best selling in the franchise, but under 3 Million units sold for a "major brand" that's multi-platform isn't great. Once it hit 2 Million sales slowed down.

[NeoGamer232]

I would love to see a movie adaptation of Devil May Cry.

[Juancho51]

....this should've been a thing after the original Resident Evil. Or even after RE4, which was very well received. Timing is odd.

[Mroc13]

Megaman was holding DMC back all this time lol

[BadElf]

Cool and all...but, release zack and wiki on the Switch
