Stop hating Capcom

They are short on money and they don't have the same kind of development budget as before. That's why games like SFV and MVCI are lacking at some aspects, not because Capcom suddenly become super greedy and don't want to spend money on development anymore.

In 2012 Capcom released 24 games
In the last year they released 6 games

As Ono said, they also didn't have the money for SFV before Sony started somewhat funding the project to push their E-sport scene.

Not saying to financially support their games if they eventually turn out lackluster, just to be a bit more symathetic of why they turn out like that instead of spreading the "punish Crapcom for their greedyness" mentality, and overexeggerate the flaws of their othervise decent games. If their games flop that won't make Capcom "learn from their mistakes", that will just kill their franchises for good.

>we're not making as much money as we used to
>lets make low quality products

I don't give a shit about character models, I have problem with the gameplay.

Look at what they've done to Monster Hunter.
They're killing their own franchise because they want the casual audience.

t. Apologist

they are already making much less games

completely dropping development (because they couldn't make a proper big budget game) of some franchises also casues hatered towards the company, see: dmc

>not because Capcom suddenly become super greedy
>season pass scam bandwagon to sell games for $90 now instead of $60

Opinion discarded.

opening to a broader audience this suddenly is also probably a desperate attempt to make money. Still, most people way overexxeggerate how drastic these changes are.

If they don't have fucking money anymore they could just stop losing money trying to get a wider audience and stay focused on their loyal fanbase.

Their loyal fanbase will probably buy it anyway because you don't have much choice when a new fighting game comes out so might as well grab the other retards too.

>capcom

tfw the only series they didn't fuck yet is MH

12edford, is that you?

>ywn spank juri as her impenetrable sassy attitude comes crumbling down and she begs for you to stop in a whiny voice

Big games won't be financially succesfull if you only sell them to 1 million people. If you sell it to 2 million the development costs will probably pay off but you still didn't made money.

A game like MonHun wouldn't appeal to westerners more than that without designing the game a bit more towards them.

>whiteknighting a corporation
jesus

Do you know how economics works? When you're short on money, you don't make more elaborate products since that's just a bigger drain on finances especially if they fail.

Nowadays consumers are jaded and cynical to most of the big companies of late
They are as follows
Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, ValVe, EA, Ubisoft, Capcom, Bandai Namco, Tecmo, and Comcept
In the past they have made bad games in which before consumers praised most of their products with their money. Nowadays Consumers are more stingy buying products at sales and at a cheaper prices instead of purchasing on opening day or pre-order.

Rule of thumb to a savvy game player is that 3 to 7 months after release of a title. Sales tend to happen may they be 10% off or higher.

>I'm going to whine like a faggot about optional things I don't have to buy

Fuck off commie

spanke girl

didn't they just recently release a resident evil movie? was that through some other company that borrowed the IP?

Children are just cheap fucks in general and feel they deserve games at the lowest price possible and the idea of making a profit these days has been vilified to hell and back by retarded coffee drinking armchair socialists.

Make shitty fighting games, make shitty money

this

Capcom is loving money because of shitty practices. They deserve every nail in their coffin.

Company who bought an IP license.

It would be incorrect to say Capcom is on the verge of going broke but a more proper way to describe their situation is downturn. Something most gaming companies are in these days due in part to the stinginess of new adult consumer base.

Nah B, everythang that happened to them fools is they own fault, nahmeen? They don't make shit for years while the industry moves on without em', they leave they flagships games to rot in a some shithole ether like some bustas, they let they fuckin' subsidiaries like Clover die n' shit, and then they release some halfass games while doing some shit business practices.
Capcom's some perpetrators, and now even they know it. Them fools can rot in hell for all I give a fuck.

>Capcom will die in your lifetime

What a time to be alive

You gotta look at it outside of the situation. The world as it is. Its shit. People are either getting richer or poorer.
While I do agree that making a profit is good for some companies like SEGA which almost nearly delivers on Consumer friendliness and games in general (a few are shit but they have an decent track record) Not everyone could afford everything and as it is. Word of mouth, Friends playing games, Streams, Videos, Ads, and marketing are what makes a company grow into something more prominant.

If you lose trust in the consumer. Then your product might not fare well despite being a cult sleeper hit.

SFV is completely alright tho
it had a bad launch but now it's just a good example of how people can overexeggerate a game's flaws if it belongs to a company they dislike.

This is now a Juri thread

>They are short on money and they don't have the same kind of development budget as before
>this game game with 50 characters at launch
>none of them recycle animations

I read that in Sweet's voice.

Didn't help with the whole shit in a can Kickstarter that spawn Mighty Number 9

After that game released. People are getting the general gist that putting forth money at face value at a game that wasn't made isn't the brightest of all ideas.

Hopefully Konami joins them

Not to mention butthurt nintendo drones spreading lies about the game

>capcom doesn't make big budget games for franchises that didn't sell well
>those fucking dipshits, how do they dare

>meanwhile the thread is exactly about how they already don't have the proper money for developing even some of their more popular franchises

Quality and detail aren't the same thing. Just cutting corners doesn't excuse ugly character models and bad writing.

>They are short on money
They're short on money because they created shit games and dumped their great franchises. Recently Capcom could have made a lot of money with the Switch and what do they release for it? Fucking Street Fighter of all things.

>terrible netplay
>terrible RQ system
>no arcade mode
>season passes
>discourages playing defensivly
>unbalanced characters

Nah, this game sucks as much as it did when it launched. It's not even a finished game. STILL.

>They are short on money and they don't have the same kind of development budget as before
are unironically saying that other studios who ship MUCH better fighting games are rolling in dough and are free to spend decades developing their games?

are you for fucking real

no excuses for hacks

You forgot to mention how shitty REVII is.

All people in all income brackets have a better quality of life than they did 20 years ago. These days people are up in arms because someone has more zeroes in their bank account than them which is childish as fuck. And yes, I agree that consumer friendliness is key to success, some people are making mountains out of ant hills (DLC) or just feel that they're entitled to a product at a lower cost simply because. It's a two way street here and both sides share blame.

Street Fighter II for $40, for that matter.

>SFV is completely alright tho
It has some issueswith gameplay (everyone knows about risk/reward on jump-ins, anti-air jabs being too strong, some silly balance decisions)
I like how I can start SFV and get a match going in few seconds though.
KoF online on PS4 was pretty much empty on release, and empty now, GG is "same 20-30 people in french lobby the game" and so on. SFV has players.

Mighty Number 9 had nothing to with Capcom. That was an independent project by the Megaman Creator after Capcom gave him the boot.

Things like overtime exist along with pay scale for more experienced developers. Those are things that can cost a project cost to skyrocket if not checked

SNK's fighting games have been low budget since the PS1 era. It's pretty much how they stay afloat

>terrible netplay
not perfect but definitely not terrible since the season 2.5 patches
>no arcade mode
just play fucking survival or player vs ai againts whoever you want. The arcade mode is literally just slapping 9 random matches againts each other and you can already do that.
>season passes
you can literally unlock shit for free without too much difficulty
>unbalanced characters
compared to USF4 sure, but compared to other fighting games it's still pretty good
>discourages playing defensivly
that's a real flaw
>terrible RQ system
the fuck does that mean

It's not completely alright.

The game still isn't fully functional. Literally some options in the menus don't funation.

The game play is canned and stale. They are still making costumes to milk idiots at 5 dollars a pop when the online while better after 2.5 still doesnt properly work.

One sided roll back still exists. Matchmaking is still bunk. Placing you with people across the ocean.

They finally got the players flag to show in lobbies. As of season 2.5 Of course the fucking ping bars still don't work though.

Story mode was a joke. Arcade mode still doesn't exist. ( literally rumored to be in super v aka season 3)

Don't pretend sfv is a good game. It's not bad everyone knows it

No but Capcom neglicting their other IP's like Megaman and choosing how to properly build ports of said games and ilk is bad practice.

Why would you have 2 versions of Megaman Legacy when you could just put all of said Megaman series in one game. Then X in the next. Value them at say $35 each.

Comcept had NOTHING to do with Capcom yes BUT the actions they did as to be of a Game Developer did not and as such hurt consumers in trusting the bigger companies.

People do not like how Games are becoming more of a Service in that you have to pay to play constantly as to say pay once and play it whenever and however til days of end.

>People complain about SFV having season passes when the traditional Capcom business strategy was to simply just rehash the game altogether, add a few new tricks and characters, slap either SUPER or ULTRA to it and sell it again at full price

I don't know if all you are either just retarded or ignorant

by alright I meant that the game is neither great nor bad.

When people say it's a shit game you just know the only ratings they know about is "10/10 goty" and "fucking piece of shit".

>They are short on money
because they keep putting it into sucky content in the first place desu

All points that arent problems in USFIV. The game before. Talk about two steps back

The rumor is that they are literally putting out Super SFV for season 3. And I don't put it past them.

Because Megaman never drew in big sales numbers, not in the way Street Fighter or Resident Evil did. A sad fact of life is that Megaman was niche. As for the collection thing, that's classic Capcom, They've been doing that since the Playstation days.

>They are short on money and they don't have the same kind of development budget as before

I wonder if Capcom is enough in the red to be bought by another company

USF4 was also the 4th installment for SF4

I also agree that SF4 was better than SF5, but there is no need to overexeggerate the flaws of SF5, it's still a good/decent game just not as great as it's predecessors. Capcom was financially also much weaker when making SF5 than when they made SF4, still it's good to see that SF5 is still getting updated or that the updates didn't even slowed down, even though noone wants to buy the game because of all the shittalking about it.

well, I was a loyal fan myself but they lost me.

I hope they get bought out by Bamco

In all honesty, Capcom has made terrible games for years, it's just now that it's caught up to them.

Anyone remember Capcom fighting Evolution? They were still using Morrigans old DarkStalker sprite

>over 2000 employees
>adding 100 employees every year since 2014
>building two of new development studios

>short on money

Is this new meme?

I would like it if Sega Sammy could acquire them like they did with Atlus

Better then them to be claimed up by Sony or Nintendo

Didn't those sprites in KOF 13 bankrupt them?

CFE didn't have Morrigan, but it still mixed Darkstalkers sprites with ones that really, really didn't match.

>they just suddenly turned into super evil greedy bastards. They are also so stupid that they don't even develop games anymore because they want to keep the money for themselves.

Reminder:
Crapcom fucked over every Megaman Legends fan by canceling MML3.
Crapcom fucked over all Devils May Cry fan when they decided not to listen to the fans and went ahead with Donte's DMC.

Crapcom will never localize Ace Attorney Investigations 2.
Crapcom will never localize Dai Gyakuten Saiban.

i like how they haven't even bother to change Ironman's proton canon.

i took one look at MvC:I roster and i can't believe people are going to pay money for so many return characters. THEN pay more money for dlc which will feature actual new comers.

.. wait street fighter.

Unlikely.

Yep. Capcom has been making money hand over fist lately but since old franchises have been neglected some fags are butthurt

Capcom has been treating it's customers like shit since 7th gen so they deserve to die.

Defending them is just beyond sad.

You should blame yourself for AAI 2 if you didn't buy the first game because its low sales is why they never localized the second.

One thing that should never have been made a console exclusive was Monster Hunter 3,4,5. It just doesn't make sense when playstation has the established fanbase and way more playerbase right there. But they went ahead and made it nintendo exclusive for a long time. Sure it sold very well, but I have a feeling it could have sold a lot more if it wasn't exclusive to nintendo.

But whatever.... now it feels retarded that they are fucking over nintendo fanbase just to make World for everything but nintendo. Monster Hunter is a game that will sell well on any console, which makes no sense to suddenly make it exclusive to some and not available to others. Especially now that there is a established fanbase on sony and nintendo markets.

What the fuck is crapcom thinking?

can you provide a source on that?

>What the fuck is crapcom thinking?
I've been asking that since 2009.
It's amazing they are still around

Despite the r/kappa spread negativity Capcom is still working on SFV and not abandoning it. There even seems to be plans to improve netplay since they made that new deal with Bamco.

And Apollo Justice's low sales is why DD and the other one were only released oveseas digitally instead of a physical release. You fags whine for these games and when Capcom delivers you don't even fucking buy them

More like they have one guy working on it

And people say company shills getting paid to promote their shit in Sup Forums don't exist...

implying reverse shills, paid to shittalk about a company don't exist

Their revenue for the quarter is up too. If anything Capcom is doing good right now

Nice try Capcom shill

>If you don't hate on a company then you're a shill

Ok

I'm not a shill but I think Capcom deserves a second chance. They made millions of people's childhood awesome.

They did it to themselves by destroying just about everything good they had.

>muh corporate boogieman

You fags need to move to North Korea

Lost Planet was never good

Lost Planet 3 could have been good if Capcom handled the gameplay while Spark handled the writing/scenario. There's decent writing and characterization there, but it's wasted on a shit game.

nice fresh memes from 2016, kappaturd

Capcom pls

Their cancelling a group of Megaman games was an omen.

It's been so long yet I still can't believe he's really dead.

kekken shill pls

>They are short on money and they don't have the same kind of development budget as before.
With all the nickel and dime bullshit they pull, they should have enough operating profit
They keep making bad decisions and cutting corners and there's nothing more to it.
This is coming from a die-hard Capcom fan.

This place is now literally r*ddit

Phoenix is in a great spot.
