I'm hopeful for the Netflix theory. Seeing something like Megaman or RE getting the Castlvania treatment would be nice.

Another theory is that it's payment for a PS+ or Game Pass signing.

There's a rumor about DMC 5 hitting gamepass soon. Could be part of it.

Zeref2497d ago

For 19 million? Nah that's way too much lol.

I think they actually sold an IP.

Poopmist2497d ago

@Zeref. I said part as in it could be part of a larger deal. Like having all Capcom games coming to gamepass day 1 for a few years or packaged together with the Dead Rising ip(4 underperformed so Capcom may not be wanting to use it anyway)

@Zeref

They did nii-san!!

Off-topic: I will stop your project neo-eclipse, because you need to face reality, and live in our cruel world!

I'd be down for Netflix making a Dino Crisis tv show, because then you know Capcom will make a new game soon.

Next up Konami sells the Silent Hill IP

Knushwood Butt2497d ago

Not sure if there are any buyers.

KaaF2497d ago

Just the PT/Silent Hills name alone will guarantee a hit, especially if they get Kojima back.

IamTylerDurden12497d ago

Silent Hill remake ala RE2 would sell huge. Blue Point remasters would sell huge. A reboot would sell huge. There is value in Silent Hill.

rainslacker2497d ago

They've already licensed it a few times for different media

cell9892497d ago

I wish they sold the metal gear rights to Sony already

Sophisticated_Chap2497d ago

Nah, because the games would get locked on Sony's hardware, like MGS4 on PS3, never to be seen again.

BehindTheRows2497d ago

@Sophisticated_Chap

MGS4 is Konami's property, not Sony's. It could have been a multiplatform title if they wanted it to, so you're barking about the wrong company there.

The_Sage2497d ago

I'd be extremely happy if that were to happen and Kojima Productions bought it. Oh well...back to reality.

Summons752497d ago

God, I wish they would. That and Metal Gear but they never will, not when their Pachinko machines are making them the big bucks

Here's how proper journalism works.

1. Find something that happened.
2. Research what happened and draw conclusions with corroborating facts.
3. Write articles based on known facts.

What not to add into the mix

1. Baseless assumption. It's ok to list what it may have been in a list of things it could be, but generally, respectable journalism will at least try to find out what is going on somewhere between 1 and 3 above.

Imagine all the free advise games journalists get. Bet it makes them wish they hadn't spent all that money on journalism degrees...to which they apparently failed out of anyways.

One IP they haven't really used / done much with yet that was announced a while ago was Deep Down. It has been playable at game shows, but yet to release and Capcom requested to extend the trademark last year. Would be funny if they sold it to Sony (since it was exclusive) or FromSoftware (who could easily finish that game).

jukins2497d ago

That what I was thinking as far as what ip. It was supposed to be f2p and have a long life. Could see Sony reworking it and having it as a gaas

Cmv382497d ago

I doubt its deep down. Hard to pt a price tag on something that never came out. My wild guess would be street fighter....

Summons752497d ago

A dead IP that never had a single game or as far as we know any playable versions in any form of development selling for 19 mill? Definitely was not Deep Down.

rdgneoz32497d ago

It's been playable at game shows in the past. Capcom is probably having a hard time figuring out a way to monetize it as a F2P game. And 19 mill for a half finished game isn't bad, when development for most games is a lot higher.

IamTylerDurden12497d ago

Doubt Deep Down is still alive, but it was a visual marvel at the time. The game should've released as a regular AAA. Chasing the f2p model was a mistake.

SheenuTheLegend2497d ago (Edited 2497d ago )

then it would not be in Digital Content Category i think like the article states.

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

dveio36d ago

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.

Jingsing36d 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.

Tanktopmaster9236d ago

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

S2Killinit36d ago

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

Jingsing36d 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.

Tanktopmaster9236d 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
