Capcom Reorganization Results in Layoffs and Svensson's Departure

[Shin Johnpv]

well yeah. They're interpretations of western games have been shit.
But it's the western style game that sells. Capcom can't do a "japanese" style game and expect to make bank on it.
Just look at Okami, Zack and Wiki, Devil May Cry, etc.

Their shit interpretations haven't sold though, so why keep spending large budgets on outsourcing your IPs and dragging them through the mud? Why not just say fuck it and do things internally and go back to what you can do. I'm sick of everyone chasing the same damn audience. I specially wish Japanese developers would go back to making games like they used to. At least for those of us that enjoy that. There needs to be some god damn diversity in the industry. I'd take another Viewtiful Joe, Okami, or Zack and Wiki over Bionic Commando any day of the week.


To be fair to Zack and Wiki, they didn't advertise, hell they barely even released it. At release that game was hard as hell to find.

Are they still releasing Lost Planet 3 for reasons no one understands?

Yes, but its PS3/3DS spinoff E.X. Troopers looks more interesting.

That's the weirdo cel-shaded one? That did look cool.

Preaching to the choir.
I hate handhelds, yet that's where I am forced to spend most of my game time.

I don't think that is coming out here.

[kedawa]

PSN has both, I think? Not the best versions, but still.

I need the GGPO and all that.

[MechDeus]

I don't think that is coming out here.

Pretty sure they confirmed that because they made all the dialogue as image files, so it would require literally rebuilding the game to translate it instead of the traditional text swap.

I hear good things about the PC version.

lol yea. Of course, it makes perfect sense to do it that way in the year 2013.

I don't think that is coming out here.

Since the PS3 is region free, and it's a 3PS, it really doesn't matter.
