The (real) story of Keiji Inafune. By Jay of gameweb.fr. translated from french.
Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.
RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.
The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.
By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.
Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!
Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one
Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.
They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.
Many details for the upcoming rumored Resident Evil 1 remake have already leaked online. Capcom appears to have huge ambitions for it.
While I want another modern remake of 1, I think code Veronica should be first. The first re1 remake holds up amazingly well. Give CV it's due.
That was a long article and makes you think a little bit about what is going on over there.
This is a very long, and very interesting look into the state of Capcom and the amount of mouth running that Inafune does. I think he's an alright dev but he is getting seriously douchey and his comments disparaging the Japanese games industry is really pathetic because he isn't that awesome, nor are his games.
Interesting article. A bit hard to read due to the translation, but I got what he's saying. He blames Inafune for Capcoms recent failures.
And with the direction Capcom is taking he might be right too. Their westernization and rebooting of franchises have had very variable results.
But much of what's in this article is the authors opinion and he's very negative. His opinions on Ninja Theory and their games I don't share at all...
I agree. this man is responsible for all Capcom recent flops. Dark Void? Re5? lost planet? Blame this man.
I agree.
Inafune is...a small fish in a very large pond. Dead Rising 2 is good. It's nothing great though. The story COULD have been great. They COULD have given us checkpoints. The online games COULD have been explained better. The load times COULD have been minimized.
Missed opportunities are everywhere at Capcom now.
