Did Capcom Screw Over Slant Six Games With The Resident Evil 6 Announcement?

Analoghype: "It really makes you question whether Capcom have really lost faith in the game midway through the development process."

I think they really did! I'm not sure if I'm going to get Raccoon city anymore

Pein4890d ago

I'm a big fan of Operation Raccoon City from what I've tested.

Why....a crappy looking SlantSix title which has only been been to make Capcom some quick money....with RE6 I bet Capcom don't care it fails or not. Thats probably why they got SlantSix to work on it in the first place and they were probably cheap aswell.

The only reason I thought they made the game was so they could seperate action from the horror in the RE games, that they go back to horror in the main RE titles but still cater to the action crowd in some way......obviously I was wrong and now it means I have no real idea why this game exsists in the first place

Good luck with your next "AAA game" SlantSix, that is if your studio is still open by then

suicidalblues4890d ago

You fail to realize slant six gets paid regardless of it being a success or not. They were contracted for the job, its a "services rendered" deal for them. So it would make sense for capcom to want it to succeed.

"You fail to realize slant six gets paid regardless of it being a success or not"

I never even give the impression that they wouldn't

I'm just saying it's cheaper for Capcom to pay these guys to do this type of game rather then a big name developer because SlantSix are no names and produced the worst SOCOM game to date.

RaidensRising4890d ago

No, not at all seeing as the time between both releases is huge.

Pein4890d ago

It's true but REORC is getting released in 2 months time. So it kinda killed the buzz.

suicidalblues4890d ago

But it's also created franchise buzz. And with half a year between them there's more than enough time to enjoy ORC before 6 comes out. So if the casual person hears about 6 they might be tempted to check out ORC in the meantime.

Lets face it, if the argument is that you can only afford one RE game then you need better income, as they are half a year apart from each other.

yokokoroma4889d ago

It doesn't matter either way, ORC was doomed once the 30 minute gameplay footage was shown!! It's not an OFFICIAL RE game and it's NOT selling 2 million copies or anywhere near it! (as far as it's release goes)

Capcom reveals its PC game [digital] sales overshadow console, and it's only growing

The earnings reports of Capcom's Fiscal year 2024 showcase the growth of PC over console, with 60% of game sales being made on the former.

Vits18d ago

What’s interesting is that, given how well their games sell, it’s very likely most of them fall into the 25/75 revenue split bracket. The larger ones, like Monster Hunter, are in the 20/80 bracket.

So even accounting for the vastly superior regional pricing on PC, I wouldn’t be surprised if revenue-wise from digital sales, both platforms are close, or if PC is ahead as well.

neutralgamer199217d ago (Edited 17d ago )

Yes PC is the biggest platform and it has definitely improved as a home console of sort plug and play. It's the only platform with actual freedom for gamers with modding. I was a console gamer for over 38 years and now I only play on Pc. Whether you are buying pre-built or building it yourself it's now easier than ever before to jump in

And my experience with pc gamers has been excellent, they are helpful with any questions on pc boards

FPS_D3TH17d ago

As a gamer who also loves replaying his old favorite titles, possibly with a few mods as well, I can’t imagine ever getting another console.

Profchaos17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

They spoke about resident evil and monster hunter I would actually find the monster hunter breakdown more interesting tbh as I've always felt like this game would be at home on PC

but for resident evil it's always felt like a PlayStation mainstay despite having exclusivity elsewhere likely because it was where I first played it. The game feels like it's begging to be played lights off in the loungeroom late at night or also in VR I've never been as scared as I was playing re7 in VR

dveio17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

Is this really suprising? Looking at the evolution of the Switch, X|S and Playstation 5?

Eonjay17d ago

The biggest cause is probably the lack of game purchases on the Xbox platform. Also keep in mind this is only digital sales so there is a chunk of sales not being shown here.
