According to today's Forbes profile on the company that published Keiji Inafune's epic shooter, Capcom is in deep about forty million bucks getting Lost Planet out the door, on store shelves, and into the minds of gamers.
Forbes details Capcom's executive VP of publishing in North America and Europe Mark Beaumont and his efforts to shake up the company's marketing. In the case of Lost Planet, advertising and awareness came to a cool $20 million. Combined with a $20 million development budget and you'll see where that $60 you plop down goes.
So where did that twenty mill go? Theater advertising, the two Xbox Live demos, TV spots, community funding-it all costs money. Apparently, a lot of money.
Resident Evil 2 2019 launches in a few short weeks and it looks, and plays, amazing. Capcom has taken the classic and renowned title and not only modernized the visuals but added new content to keep the experience fresh for veterans who played the original. But there are some games that deserve the same treatment from Capcom. Here are 5 games from Capcom that deserve the Resident Evil 2 2019 treatment.
well for me there's
dino crisis
clock tower
haunting ground
resident evil 3
the whole onimusha series (except 4)
chaos legion
crimson tears
ring of red
This is a horrible list!
There are a load of titles far more deserving of a remaster than these picks. Seriously ! Dead Rising, Lost Planet and Dragons Dogma aren't even old games and have had recent sequels already!
Top of the list should be Dino Crisis,
I'll accept Resi 3 because I'm hoping that happens.
Clock tower and Haunting Ground are good choices too, It would be nice to be able to get them for a non extortionate rate.
Shadow of Rome was an amazing game and I'd love a remaster or new entry but I genuinely don't think they'd get away with it today unless it was massively toned down
Resident Evil 3 yes,Dino Crisis games?Yes.Onimusha 2 hell yes.never got to play Powerstone properly so yeah i would love to see it remade,others on that list i just dont care about.
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition was released in Europe in 2007 as an Xbox 360 exclusive, though it would later come to other systems as well. Aside from the regular version, a Collector’s Edition was made available, which includes an art book and a steel case, and early access to free multiplayer maps, as well as a soundtrack cd.
JP: Not every game receives massive critical acclaim. Yet, there are some titles that stick with you despite their lack of success. For me, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is one of my most memorable multiplayer experiences of this generation.
The CG trailer was so damn good. Almost thought it was a preview for a movie until I saw the title. It's crazy that the advertising cost as much as the game itself.
but I thought some of the really hectic scenes where miss-leading. I have a good 200 plus online matches in and some boards are very intense, but not like the commericals.
I just can't believe how much money this game has cost with marketing. I hope it does well, cause I wouldn't mind some more content and a Lost Planet 2 someday. It's got a learnign curve, but once you've got it down it's much better than what some reviews give it.
I wonder how much Gears of War and Halo costed to advertise?
I wonder how much microsoft spends on advertising the 360
I'm sure they made some of that back from the exclusive deal with microsoft. They sold over a million copies on launch of this game so they are bound to sell atleast 2 million copies worldwide. Lets say they make $40 per game sold x 2 million copies and thats a cool $80 million dollars, plus the money made from DLC and also from microsoft's exclusive deal.
