Capcom Is Losing Money? It Can’t Be True

The Tyuno Project: "So I know I’m late to the party with this story, but I want to say something about this issue. So news are spreading around the internet that Capcom is losing money. Reports are saying that Capcom only have about 125 million dollars in the bank. Capcom have acknowledge this issue and made a statement saying that it will focus on creating new DLCs. Now it’s ashamed that Capcom is facing this financial crisis but to be truly honest, Capcom did this to themselves."

Although I'm sure that nintendo has an exclusive contract but I'm pretty sure capcom wishes mh4 was multiplatform right now. An extra million sales of the franchise wouldn't hurt.

PSNintyGamer4637d ago

Doubt that Nintendo Money Contract + 'Monster' Monster Hunter Sales = $$$$

@ PSNintyGamer

Capcom would get more money if MH was multiplatform.

When a game is exclusive, you always have people who want the game but don't want to buy the console/handheld it's on, or they just can't afford another console or handheld.

How many people wouldn't buy a game because it's a multiplatform title? Not a lot, I'd bet.

EVERY exclusive game in the history of the games industry would have sold more if they were multiplatform games.

@green

Porting costs money too. Money made from exclusivity deals make up for the sales losses to some extent.

It's not all black and white.

Studio-YaMi4637d ago

I agree to a point,but don't forget that porting the game and polishing it for another gaming platform costs money too.

Maybe they just can't handle the stress right now,who knows ?

zeal0us4637d ago

They screw most of their franchises up, made them look like quick cash grabs and cancel games that fanbase wanted.

Creating new dlc isn't going to help much. They have a portfolio of games they should be trying put some of these old games on multiple platforms and selling them at a decent and attractable price.

TrevorPhillips4637d ago

It's no wonder why so many people have left Capcom. A good friend of mine Vince Tran has left, Shinji and Christian Svensson

pr0t0typeknuckles4637d ago

its okay guys you can get it together just rape Dante again,keep megaman in his cellar,and butcher resident evil,the kids will love it

So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.

I mean 0, 1 and Code Veronica should be way before we get into 5 or 6.

Darkseeker136d ago

5 and 6 are so bad that even Capcom want to pretend they don't exist.

Levii_92136d ago

Dude Code Veronica is bad too but RE5 and 6 were mega successful and to me it makes much more sense for Capcom to do them instead. Nobody cares about Code Veronica except niche fixed camera era RE fans, i bet most modern RE fans probably don't know Code Veronica even exists. Based on all that i don't believe CV remake is coming but we will see i guess.

MehmetAlperTR136d ago (Edited 136d ago )

Actually RE5-6 was not Classic RE game.. They are not even Survival Horror game.. They are just an action game with coop and named by RE... And for me RE Code Veronica was masterpiece.. I remembered the first time i played it in Dreamcast.. It was absouletly excellent game. And specially for RE6.. I was quit from game after the camera shakes when Leon's kick to zombies.. There's a video about RE6 and they are telling the truth about that shitty game https://www.youtube.com/wat... here it is.. Enjoy it..

Neonridr136d ago

people are DYING for a Code Veronica Remake. Not sure who you are talking to, but the die-hard RE fans of the series are very familiar with every entry. That's what it means to be called a die-hard fan.

neutralgamer1992136d ago

Levii

I am sure If they were to remake CV that it 2ont have fixed camera angle. I hope whatever they do they take their time like RE2/4 remakes and not rushed with cut content like RE3 remake

Before they should do RE5 they should go back and remake earlier games. In a perfect scenario we would get CV and RE/Zero before RE5/6

Tapani136d ago

Code Veronica on Dreamcast was absolutely AWESOME.

It makes more sense for them to remake earlier games like Code Veronica. RE5 is a good game though - it's not THAT different from RE4.

RE5 just doesn't really need to remade in general. The co-op element makes it tricky - you'd probably add more moments where Chris is by himself enhance the horror but some would want co-op to stay.

thesoftware730136d ago

RE:5 Was and still is a great game, with hands down the best Merc mode, that I still play from time to time with my brother.

RE:6 blah, I agree, it was awful.

Redgrave136d ago

Other than Code Veronica, 6 is the one ai want to see remade the most only because pretty much everything has to be redone; can't streamline that hot mess.

DarXyde136d ago

6 was pretty bad. 5 just tried too hard in being an action-oriented RE4.

In some fairness to Capcom, 5 was the first Resident Evil on then-new hardware for them (X360 and PS3). And it was pretty damn hard to follow up RE4.

Imagine everyone's surprise when EA of all companies dropped Dead Space.

Alos88135d ago

The first half of 5 wouldn't be too hard to do in the more grounded style the remakes have gone for, but the second half gets pretty silly and uncomfortable at parts.
6 is a wash. You'd have to basically make a whole new game to salvage that one at this point.

__y2jb135d ago

6 is garbage. 5 is excellent.

Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.

gerbintosh136d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
