VideoGamer: "Capcom has pulled the plug on collaborating with western development houses. Where does that leave Lost Planet 3, and what does the game say about Capcom's strategy this generation?"

I'm trying to think of one Capcom game I ever bought and nothing at all comes to mind. They could cut out their games to the west completely and I doubt I would notice. lol

Baka-akaB4056d ago

Well you are not wrong then , if you got no ip from them you care about .

I have no issues with some of their fighting games ip and enjoy them tremendously (Street fighter and Marvel Vs capcom) , i'm looking forward to remember me , so far , and Dragon Dogma was amazing imo .

Gravitic4056d ago (Edited 4056d ago )

Dragons Dogma was in-house, not leased out to a Western Development studio.

Baka-akaB4056d ago

i know , he is saying that he doesnt care about anything capcom , not just western titles

Baka-akaB4056d ago (Edited 4056d ago )

Thank god it's the end of those crappy collaboration wich failed to be successful anyway .

When the best thing coming out of our obsession from capitalizing on the western market and influence , is a barely ok game ( and i'm talking about lp3 here , not the previous game that shouldnt even be named ), drop it like it's hot .

The only critical and financial successes from that trend , have been Castlevania Lord of Shadows , and otherwise western games published by Asian Publishers

Capcom's problem wasn't that they collaborated with western developers, there problem was that they collaborated with shitty western developers. Keiji Inafune's idea of working with western developers to make games sell better in the western markets was a solid idea. Obviously, Capcom took the cheap route and everyone suffered for it.

jc485734056d ago (Edited 4056d ago )

I wouldn't say it was Inafune's fault either as he did manage to find a team who was able to deliver Dead Rising 2 with good results. The idea is great, but it depends who you end up with like you said. Capcom just really got out of hand with the Western projects and alienating the existing fanbase, and it's just sad to see it turn like this. Take a look at Tango Gameworks for example, if you watch their Making video of The Evil Within, you will realize that you got all kinds of people from around the world working together in one single spot. We just don't see the collaboration through the trailers of Capcom games or even a glimpse of their workplace. Are they really supervising LP3? I doubt it, at least not hard enough from what I'm seeing. I do not expect to see a collaboration project to feel 100% Western even if that is their aim, but there's gotta be at least 10% coming from elsewhere in order to deliver a game that feels more of a hybrid between two different developers because I like seeing how they mix ideas.

Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica Remakes are reportedly in the works, not Resident Evil 1

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.

-Foxtrot6d ago

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.

Cacabunga5d ago

Wise decision. 2 of my favorites!

repsahj4d ago

RE Zero is one of my favorite game on gamecube!

Knightofelemia6d ago

Give me Dino Crisis dammit Capcom

TGG_overlord5d ago

And all it took was +24 years + a phone call from me lol.

GotGame8185d ago

LOL! A phone call from you? ROFL! They have been remaking RE games for YEARS! It was a matter of time!

Stellar Blade has sold more physical copies than Dragon's Dogma 2 in Japan, despite PS5 exclusivity

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.

Hugodastrevas9d ago

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!

BrettAwesome9d ago

More than it got? It got tons, by everyone except the sad wankers who's idea of a sex life, is pulling on their dicks while watching big fake cgi titties 😂

gerbintosh8d ago

Don't see the difference between cgi titties and fake boobs. Also no difference to wanking it to either one of them since both aren't physically there

RiseNShine8d ago

Salty that the game is doing well hm? ;) I suggest some cheese with your whine.

Skuletor8d ago

So you're saying the people that like watching CGI tits didn't praise the game? An educated guess is you meant the opposite.

BrettAwesome8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

@Risenwhine
What the fuck are you talking about? I think it looks like an awesome game. I don't get the sentiment that it didn't get as much praise as it deserved. The only ones who's been shit talking it, are sad wankers with no sex life. Am I whining? How? 😂

I think we can safely claim that Stellar Blade 2 is confirmed!
I got it day one, i have some backlog due to RDR2 i just platinumed.. i will get to Stellar Blade in the near future

shinoff21839d ago

Same but I'm hitting yakuza right now. Stellar blade looks cool though.

neutralgamer19929d ago

Capcom really dropped the ball with DG2. They had easy success on their hand but instead with their stupid decisions ruined the games success

Stellar blade is an amazing game and deserves all the success. For all the artificial hate it got from people who had no interest in the game to begin with this shows if you make a good game it will sell. The so called 1st party drought from PlayStation has meant 4 exclusives in 2024 so far. Other companies need to learn how to run a business and plan for the future

H99d ago

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

Redemption-649d ago

DS2 sold 2.5M in a little over a week, what the hell are you talking about?

H99d ago

"there", that's Japan, this article is about Japan, the bad word of mouth is about Japan

Hereandthere9d ago

Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.

The_Hooligan9d ago

How dare you speak common sense!!??

jznrpg8d ago

It would if they added a lot more combat and didn’t focus on graphics

XiNatsuDragnel9d ago

Stellar blade is great excited for 2

anast9d ago

They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.

shinoff21839d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Said that dd2 was missing things the first one did,like mass effect 2? I haven't played it so I'm really asking.

spss119d ago

I've played both and I have no idea what people say when they claim it's "incomplete". I've only noticed new things in comparison to DD1 (I would give a list but spoilers). Sometimes I wonder if some people actually played DD1 or maybe they remember it differently. Anyways, if you liked the first one and want more of that, you'll probably like DD2.

anast8d ago

Yeah, the content, combat movement is slower, less vocations, the armor system, it's more simplified, and dungeons are lacking. It's like they rushed it out or something, but didn't forget to add in youtuber pawns and micros. At least ME 2 upped the content.

Resident Evil 1 Remake To Have Slower Pace; Will Further Expand On The Game's Lore

Many details for the upcoming rumored Resident Evil 1 remake have already leaked online. Capcom appears to have huge ambitions for it.

XiNatsuDragnel14d ago

Sounds interesting I'll be interested in the second remake of re1

Cacabunga14d ago

They game cube remake was mind blowing.. another remake would be nice but i was really hoping for Code Veronica first

-Foxtrot14d ago

If it's true they are probably leading up to RE5 with the Chris vs Wesker story

RE1, CV and then RE5

Terry_B14d ago

Their REmake is still one of the best 3 video game remakes ever made.

Cacabunga14d ago

Terry

Zero was not a remake but an amazing game as well. I hope they remake that one one day with some coop play.. great great game

maelstromb14d ago

The whole Lisa Trevor side-story was an incredible addition and really fleshed out more of the lore. It could have easily felt tacked on to artificially extend the length of the game, but it felt 'right' like it should have been in there from the beginning. I'm hoping they include that in the Re-remake.

Yui_Suzumiya13d ago

Code Veronica definitely needs it the most!

Cant wait until they cut the basement section and replace it with something worse.

Becuzisaid14d ago

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.

Scissorman14d ago

As long as the Crimson Heads are back.

Nerdmaster13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

I hope they don't. They were created mainly to justify Wesker not really dying, and they do create more tension, but they don't make much sense.
Re-reviving things that were twice dead? Why would the virus stop there and not keep reviving them forever (until the head gets destroyed)?
And also the characters knowing that destroying their heads keep them from becoming crimson heads, while having a combat knife and lots of heavy objects around to do it while they're down, but having to rely on lucky shots or burning them with oil?
They can create other stuff that serves the same purpose of creating tension but that makes more sense.

Levii_9214d ago

Come on State of Play already!!!
