Capcom Now Prioritizing "Completeness," Even If That Means Delays

"After Street Fighter 5's struggles, Capcom has a new plan in store. Following Capcom's recent acknowledgment that Street Fighter V had a "lack of content" and "needed more polish," the company outlined a plan to work on games longer to ensure they are ready for launch. Now, CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto has shed more light on that new process.

Capcom is prepared to delay games if they need more time, Tsujimoto said as part of a Q&A session at the company's latest earnings report. The English translation of this session was published today [PDF] on Capcom's website." By Eddie Makuch

That is good news. I like to think this was one battle where the gamer won.

rdgneoz33657d ago

Yah. Who knew that gamers wanted complete games to begin with?

gangsta_red3657d ago (Edited 3657d ago )

I personally always thought it was a good idea. But I didn't know how others felt.

;)

XtraTrstrL3657d ago

LOL, baby steps Capcom, you're learning. Now add 'Daily Targets' to SFV so it doesn't look like the obvious setup to rip us off in the near future, by not giving us the ability to realistically earn enough FM to keep up with any content(cuz Hard/Extreme Survival is not very practical, I've seen too many pros fail repeatedly even), without buying $$Zenny$$.

Fin_The_Human3657d ago

I actually applaud Sony fans and they have my respect for boycotting SFV.

No game is worth buying at full price when it only 30% compete.

HipHopGamer must feel like a tool right now since he was defending Capcom with his life.

Tetsujin3657d ago

They should have done this a long time ago. There's no excuse for a company like Capcom to half deliver games, then "hope" the customers buy into season passes and 1/3 of games for that extra sale.

pompombrum3657d ago

The ever intelligent CEO of Capcom sharing his pearls of insight and wisdom, who would have thought that prioritizing on completing finished products would lead to more sales? What an absolute revelation /s

CrimsonWing693657d ago

Can't believe it took them this long to come to this realization...honestly what person doesn't know not to pull out something half-baked in the oven?

Fin_The_Human3657d ago

What do you expect from a company that gave you like 30 versions of SF in one one.

BillytheBarbarian3657d ago

All companies need to do this instead of relying on patch updates after release. It's one thing gamers didn't deal with on console before the Xbox 360.

phoenix_dusk3657d ago

Well, the problem is fans, trolls or both combined(most especially the loud ones) uses delays as some form of catchphrase, quick memes to enrage the community and devs as well. Think if those are cut down to a minimum then devs will be more.willing to delay games in order to maximize development.

Ol_Boy3657d ago

The player base isn't the one to blame. If these companies would've chosen to wait to announce a game when they're certain it would be completed by the set date instead of trying to create bs hype and then scramble to try to get it out in time to beat the competition, you wouldn't have all these delays which is the reason said trolls and angry gamers make those memes you speak of in the first place.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing23d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9223d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit23d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing23d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9223d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
