Capcom wasn't in a great place as 2016 came to a close. That year was meant to be Street Fighter's triumphant current-generation debut, but sales were sluggish and hardcore fans were pissed at its multitude of technical problems. Elsewhere, Mega Man was dead, Resident Evil was still struggling to recover from the disastrous Resident Evil 6, and Dead Rising 4 and Umbrella Corps were being hammered by critics. It had been that kind of generation.
Since then, though, Capcom has started to turn things around. Monster Hunter: World, Capcom's bestselling game of all time, is celebrating its first anniversary and should remain strong through Iceborne's release this fall. Resident Evil 2 is enjoying critical acclaim and strong sales. Devil May Cry 5 launches in March, marking the return of another fan-favorite franchise.
After a rough start to the PS4/Xbox One era, it feels like Capcom is finally back on track. So what's changed? The answer is pretty simple: classic franchises.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
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.
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.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
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.
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
Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
TNS - NCSoft CEO admitted that AI is rapidly becoming a core part of game development, but he added that it cannot replace what makes games fun.
To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.
Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.
It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
Yeah. Me and my coworker were discussing this. After Monhan World now RE2!
How about Power Stone 3, Cap?
Can I haz new Saturday night slam masters :(
I wish they'd outsource the Street Fighter Alpha series to Arc Systems, considering they'd nail that 'anime' look, as well as being more than competent when it comes to releasing fighters with amazing gameplay.
Just picked up Monster Hunter World 2 days ago btw.
Now hopefully remake the Onimusha series properly, Dino Crisis and of course Nemesis and Code Veronica.
Still can’t forgive Capcom for what they did to Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite
“Resident Evil was still struggling to recover from the disastrous Resident Evil 6”
- RE6 still sold very well
- Resident Evil still produced the exceptional Revelations series before and after the release of RE6.
- The remaster of the RE1 remake performed exceptionally well commercially.
