Capcom are unveiling their next Bionic Commando 3D side-scrolling action game dubbed Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 at GamesCon.
Capcom have promised several improvements including a makeover on the 'bionic arm.'
Capcom at TGS by the Bay was a special event that invited commentators and the press for a hands-on preview at their San Francisco office.
The boss of Capcom has insisted any buyout attempt from Microsoft would be rejected.
It was obvious also pretty sure the others big JP company would decline both of them. Wish he said more like "even if we were looking to be bought MS can't buy us anyways"
@blackblades
"even if we were looking to be bought MS can't buy us anyways"
They would also refuse a offer from Sony as well, so Sony can´t buy them "anyways".
@Obscure
Is that your panic logic? lol
Trying to gather words that aren't there?
Phil Spencer: getting Capcom would be another moment and I honestly believe a good move for both companies. It's just taking a long time for Capcom to see that their future exists only on Xbox hardware. A long time.... :-)
For the people who don't know, Outside_ofthe_Box is being sarcastic. He doesn't actually want to see anyone buy CAPCOM.
you would think that with how much money M$ they would have enough resources to make quality games instead of just buying already successful studios / publishers. But I guess whats the point if they have the money to burn. Just look at all the canceled games and flops under M$'s direction in the past 10 years. I guess they were tired of being the laughing stock of the gaming industry.
They release another Forza next month. First new game i ages that isn't either Bethsda or Obsidian. They would be in serious trouble without Bethesda.
Nah not happening. Very unlikely MS will be able to aquire any Japanese publisher. It's not for lack of money, more to do with culture.
It's always been that way because resident evil and PlayStation have a history. Even resident evil and Nintendo have history. But Xbox? Not really. Maybe exclusive dlc for that crappy brainless crappy third person COD like operation raccoon city shooter that released in 2012 that was obviously targeting Xbox like... "Clientele".
Microsoft has never been able to properly push into the Japanese market. Every Xbox system and major game they've released there failed. Nintendo and Sony have a hold there and always will.
From GameWatcher: "Following the announcement that Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4 Remake will be playable on the iPhone 15 Pro later this year, publisher Capcom has confirmed that it intends to develop more titles for mobile platforms.
Capcom's push into the mobile market is meant to support the company's efforts of reaching an annual sales volume of 100 million copies. In addition, it will not affect the PC's status as main platform."
This is GREAT news, overall.
This, along with Pixel Junk Monsters, was the best DD title of 08'.
Making over the bionic arm makes me nervous though.
Im hoping the arm is tweaked and not completely re-done
