Capcom Is Killing It

WTMG's Jordan Hawes: "While Capcom may not have had a killer E3 2019 since they didn’t really have a new game to show, what it let me know is that they are still going strong. Continuing with the success of porting their series to Nintendo Switch; Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil 6, and Devil May Cry HD are making their way to the Switch. They are also supporting one of their biggest titles, Monster Hunter World, with a massive DLC update that is as large as the original base game. I was able to get my hands on a couple of these titles as well as a couple missions of the new Iceborne expansion."

That and a Dino Crisis remake would make me sooooo happy.

Where's Dragon's Dogma 2?

DaDrunkenJester2476d ago

I think they may have held back a bit this e3 like most developers/publishers since it's too early to show their next gen stuff.

Hardiman2476d ago

I'm playing through the Dark Arisen Remaster now and I can just imagine what Dragons Dogma 2 would be like. Especially if it winds up being a next gen title. It would be insane!

NeoGamer2322476d ago

Capcom is doing well and they are being smart. They have some great games this generation. But their remasters were garbage and were there just to take advantage of gamers.

BadElf2476d ago

No. No one is making you buy those Remasters. If you never played them, or if you want to play them again, its an option for you.

Come on now

Tross2476d ago (Edited 2476d ago )

I don't think they've all been bad, and I appreciate that Capcom has taken the time to port some of their older games over, which a lot of companies haven't done. There is certainly value in being able to play retro games on one's platform of choice, especially on modern systems as that ensures that said games aren't lost to time.
Capcom has had a decent flow of both old and new games in recent years, and I appreciate that.

Hardiman2476d ago

Absolutely and it's a good way to judge interest in an IP. I'm playing through the Dark Arisen Remaster and it's pretty good. Hopefully we get a sequel one day.

Oh and I'd love for a modern Dino Crisis built with the RE Engine as well.

Tross2476d ago

@Hardiman Holy...I'm just imagining that T-Rex in the same engine they used for REmake 2.

Hardiman2476d ago

Having grown up playing so many great games that were produced or developed by Capcom and then the continued success they saw throughout the 90's and 00's, I'm glad to see them getting back to where they should be.

I just need a Dino Crisis remake, Onimishu and Dragons Dogma 2 to make the circle complete!

AK912475d ago

Street Fighter 6 should be announced soon as well.

Game came out in 2017 . I expect the newer console to at least match or be better than the older ones .

Snookies1264d ago (Edited 64d ago )

It's still a great looking game though. Just because it came out years ago doesn't mean it's not demanding. I just started playing it on PC and with maxed out graphics. It really holds up well to current games.

Stevonidas64d ago

PS4 PSU = 250 watts (base model)
PS5 PSU = 220 watts
Switch 2 = 22 watts (docked)

Crazy efficiency from Switch 2.

Deathdeliverer64d ago

I don’t know who keeps posting this guy. The switch does NOT match the PS5 performance. Please put digital foundry vids instead. It beats series S visually. The beginning of the video shows the car hood example. The upscaler is pixelated as hell on switch but smooth, but less detailed on PS4 and not even on PS5s league. That’s the upscaler trying to make 540p look higher res. I really don’t understand the reasoning for the gas lighting.

Neonridr64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

what are you even talking about? where do you get 540p? The game is rendering at 1080p and then upscaling to 4k on the TV.

are you somehow confusing this analysis with Requiem?

repsahj64d ago

Even if it comes from 240p, I don't have a problem with it. What matters is the end result. RE7, 8, and 9 are very detailed on the Switch 2 in docked and handheld mode.

Neonridr64d ago

it says on the video 4k from a base 1080p. Where do you get 540p from?

Benjaminkno63d ago

He’s referring to “native” output and ignoring the upscaling. 90% of these nintendon’ts clamored for a “better performing switch” only to pretend it’s not what they asked for. If they were to play this game without seeing hair, they couldn’t tell the difference.

Neonridr62d ago

@Benjaminkno - I think this person is thinking of Requiem, which was using a base 540p. Clearly they can't read.

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.
