Here’s looking forward to a fourth!

naruga1869d ago

imagine if RE 3 Remake was actually good the amount of profits that would have announced

roadkillers1869d ago

Just imagine if it was bad tho..

DrDeath1869d ago

It was good. But it was short. Took me 6h:22 minutes my first playthrough not including cutscenes (1 hour) I enjoyed the game after just finishing 3 runs of re2 remake

ifrit_caress1869d ago

Making good quality games that fans/games adore brings record profits... It's a mystery how that works.

kevinsheeks1869d ago

Right, like catching lightning in a bottle.

DOMination-1869d ago

It seems so simple yet nearly every major publisher seems to fail to understand this concept.

galgor1869d ago

And there I was thinking it was shipping a game with the DLC on the disc and making you pay to unlock it!

caddytrek1869d ago (Edited 1869d ago )

To be fair I never understood why that got focused on Capcom other devs had been doing it before Capcom.

But the 360 generation was all about dumping on Japanese devs so much that many of them went out of business or nearly failed like Capcom, Konami and SquareEnix.

Luckily the success of the PlayStation 4 brought a revival of Japanese gaming.

neutralgamer19921869d ago

yeah who knew gamers wanted great games without MT

RosweeSon1868d ago

Cannot agree more it’s not always the way as some really good games don’t catch on and sell big but generally release a quality game or a few and you make some serious money. There’s also the other side as some of these yearly churns make billions.
Nintendo show it time and time again tho not everything they release is perfect but when they get it right wow hence the majority of games that sell over 1 million on switch are made by them. 3rd parties only have themselves to blame I get switch isn’t on par with the current gen and there’s bound to be some compromises but good devs can make it work and work very well with minimal compromise, problem is the majority like ea Ubisoft etc port piss poor versions masses of content or modes missing or on EA’s case with Fifa just release a legacy version, because Fifa is so technical baring an opening cutscene or 2 the majority of the game is same and many years previously so to just do a legacy version is a joke and I’m glad they struggle to sell. Put some effort in few switch extras even and you’ll see them sell millions it’s not rocket science. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤓 ✌🏻

I want a new Onimusha. The remaster only increased my appetite for more.

jeremyj29131869d ago

Same but I don't think we're getting one. They are in full blow RE mode..... again.

Silly gameAr1869d ago

Yeah, I agree. Onimusha probably isn't popular enough for a full blow remake or even a new game.

jeremyj29131869d ago

I truly wish it was. I loved the hell outta Onimusha.

Truly amazing!

Draws inspiration clearly draws gameplay inspiration from Assassins Creed and action cinematics from Uncharted!

Powered by UE5!

Definitely on my radar!

raWfodog5h ago

Eastern devs are putting in that work this gen. The quality of their games have been top-notch across the board. Looking forward to seeing more of this game in action.

Other devs need to take notes and step their game up, figuratively and literally.

Lightning7715h ago

Looks very good why wasn't this at SGF?

Obscure_Observer12h ago

Probably because this trailer wasn´t ready yet.

I doubt the developers would miss the opportunity to reveal their games to millions of gamers on four major events like Summer Game Fest, Future Games Show, State of Play or Xbox Showcase on purpose.

Napoca867h ago(Edited 7h ago)

This feels like 90% stolen from Uncharted and the guy is also falling or almost falling to often down. Nah this is to much show, something is strange here.

Sonyslave36h ago

It does look like it could be staged or the combat might be like hellblade, but i have hope the devs made naraka battle royal game.

Lightning772h ago

Ryse had staged area like combat. So did Hell Blade. Linear story based games do this. It's very cinematic like gameplay. The game did remind me of Ryse, how Ryse would of looked if they had a sequel of sorts.

pwnmaster30004h ago

This reminds me a bit of uncharted, ghost, Gow and AC.

Count me in.

The director of the original Silent Hill: “I look forward to seeing bold interpretations.”

Keiichiro Toyama—the creator and original director of the 1999 Silent Hill—shared his personal thoughts on the recently announced remake by Konami, reflecting on what the project means to him after more than two decades:
“I felt something similar when the game was adapted into a movie. It deeply moved me to see the names of the characters and locations I had created come to life visually, even though I wasn’t directly involved. That wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of the fans and the dedication of the developers who’ve kept the series alive.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how the remake evolves this time. With the advanced technology we now have, I’m sure I’ll be surprised by how the game is reimagined. Since the original was built for the first PlayStation, there will naturally be challenges—like the camera and controls—but I’m eager to see bold and creative solutions to those elements.”

Haha Not only is bold and creatively not what the industry wants, it’s not what most people want.

They want to get scammed and pay twice for a thing they already own.

Nightcrawler8913h ago

Hope they use his vision in the game

Inverno13h ago

Was the SH2 remake even bold? Or was it more or less just a 1 to 1 over the shoulder remake?

Pedrof13h ago

I wouldn't hold my breath on "bold".

Where to watch Capcom Spotlight, when it kicks off in your region, and what to expect

Capcom Spotlight is just around the corner: tune in to see the latest titles being shown off by the Japanese masters.

SockeyBoy13h ago

I feel a new DMC on the horizon.

thorstein10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

New IP, please. Used to be (in the 80s) if it was a Capcom game, you knew it was good.

jznrpg9h ago

Pragmata is a new IP so there’s that. Another one would be nice though

Babadook78h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Honestly Capcom is still somewhat of a seal of quality for me.

shinXseijuro8h ago

Trust me I’m a Capcom baby. Got fond memories of Megaman and all the good library they had on snes 😂 . I always felt bummed Capcom shunned Megaman tho ever since inafune left the company . Pragmata seems like it’s a new Megaman sort of
