How Capcom Failed Resident Evil 5 for a Decade

Capcom seems to be making amends for its overall neglect of the fifth title in such a flagship franchise, but it may be too little too late.

I really enjoyed it co-op for what it was, an action game. While I wouldn't want every game from the series to be in the same action vein it was a very good game.

Hope we get a remake someday

One of my favourite co-op campaigns. We don’t even get split screen couch co op of this quality anymore. Didn’t appreciate it when we had it. Also really enjoyed splinter cell convictions co op. AAA devs don’t seem to do split screen at all anymore. Shame if you ask me :/

Neglect?

RE5 sold more than RE4 and it was a great game.

Hell they ported it over to PS4. What did Capcom neglect exactly?

Huge Microsoft Leak Reveals Plans for 2028 Next-Gen “Cloud Hybrid” Xbox

Microsoft's plan for its next-generation Xbox console due out 2028 leaked from FTC trial document.

Well I guess my hope is Sony isn't planning the Sam's thing? Because cloud anything isn't exactly my cup of tea tbh.

Microsoft is buying up IPs and eating a ton of costs to push people into it. I really hope people are resistant to an industry change in such a manner. I get it's an option people want, but Microsoft doesn't want to stop there. They want to get rid of hardware. They've said as much multiple times in the last two generations of hardware. I'd go full Steam/GOG before I went into the cloud. It's just not a good way to game, IMHO. Too many elements you can't control and the subscriptions already suffer the issue that video streaming sites suffer where you can't just rely on what you want being there when you want it.

I couldn't agree more. 100%!!

Also, once more games on there, price hikes will follow.

hiroyukisanada1d 2h ago

Yep. They're pushing towards the exact same idea they had for Xbox One launch lol Digital, online-only, subscription model. Remember "power of the cloud?" Cloud hybrid sounds eerily similar, doesn't it?

Profchaos1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

Agree once you own the worlds most loved IP it will be next and it seems more inevitable every year we will only be playing games from Microsoft data centres in the next 15 years if they get their say

Microsoft is pushing so hard for ownership of Nintendo as it differs to a franchise game like tlou you can only make so many tlou entries before the popularity drops but you can make a hundred Mario games because each entry is unique.

It's why Microsoft wants ownership of Doom, cod, crash, Spyro etc.

Once they have what they want better believe they will charge through the nose for gamepass and I honestly see a future where games are exclusive to GP removing the ability to simply buy them

Were falling into a long term industry trap and some people are far to excited about it

Not saying whether it's smart or not, but every far fetched idea sounds stupid until someone makes it work. iPhone 2007.

U must mean like when Apple stole the idea for the mouse from zerox, stole their software, then Microsoft licenced said software from Apple to make word and excel (which actually debuted on Mac first). Then proceeded to steal all apples hard work and use their code to make windows, including, stealing said mouse idea.

Fishy Fingers18h ago

Yes thats exactly the same as my point.

MS: How can we get to our Xbox One ideals with always online DRM no physical copies ? Cloud hybrid , that’s how.

Barlos21h ago

Well if that's true they can keep it. Cloud gaming is not my future.

Are Fans Ready To Forgive Konami As It Makes A Potential Return To Gaming?

Konami has blemished its reputation after venturing into many things outside of gaming, leaving some of its iconic IPs to collect dust.

Fist4achin1d 8h ago

Next are going to be free games with online pachinko accounts.

Chocoburger22h ago

Nah, the games they've released since 2015's Phantom Pain have been cheaply budgeted, sloppy, poorly thought-out games. Unless if they start releasing masterpieces again, which they won't because they don't have the talent, nor the willingness to budget for quality games anymore, they aren't worth forgiving.

Just releasing a bunch of emulated classic games, or sloppily porting MGS games onto modern hardware isn't enough. It has to be NEW GAMES, not remasters, and no emulation or ports. But without the talent that made them an amazing company in the past, it all means nothing.
