Capcom: Getting By With Old Hits

Games such as Killzone 2 and Gears of War 2 are just a few of the best representative games this generation. However, it is becoming apparent that one developer/publisher in particular has yet to graduate to the next level of gaming.

Why would they, Resi franchise, street fighter franchise are both timeless IP'S, many people including myself grew up on these games, If it aint broke don't fix it!

onijutsu6280d ago

they broke resident evil with 5, street fighter 4 is still the same fundementally flawed game and devil may cry 4 was an abomination...

fail capcom fail...

Flipgeneral6280d ago

The whole purpose of SF4 was to make players of old (you and me!) get that feeling of nostalgia. They were not trying to do something totally off the wall with SF4 that would semi-alienate the old-school.

Not to mention, Bionic Commando (completely original new take), Dark Void, Dead Rising(!!!), Lost Planet.

Horrible article. Author needs to do more research and be objective in his writings.

KingKionic 6280d ago

capcoms doing great this gen. they need to bring back marvel vs capcom...or marvel versus snk. :)

legionx6280d ago

Dont you mean capcom vs snk

BigKev456280d ago

Come on, onijutsu. You know your so wrong. Let's see you do it then.

Devil may cry 4

1. While nero was fun to use, it was a bad decision to put dante halfway through the game, most of the people who bought dmc4 have played at least one of the previous games, capcom brought something new in the form of dante(edit nero) but failed to capitalise on that by not going further with him...

2.Halfway through backtracking, you have to agree with me there.

3.Fighting bosses over and over again, if the bosses changed their attacks enough i would forgive this, making the player change his tactics on a familar boss would have been an intersting experience, but no they got lazy, i mean from the boss's perspective all they did was have some super sayin mode that did virtually nothing to change it up.

4. bad story, felt like the worst parts of bleach.

Street fighter 4

i have to say i disagree with this article about how capcom didn't do a good job with the graphics of street fighter 4, i don't want realism in a fighting game, anyone who calls any fighting game realistic has clearly watched to many kung fu flicks...

i geuss fundementally flawed is overley harsh, what i feel is that most of the charachters get ignored, most people usually try out these charachters and go back to ryu or ken, this is why i say its flawed, you play a game like tekken, each charachter really has potential to be used by anyone well, and it does happen, to be completely owned by a slightly joke charachter like the panda proves that tekken has a great balance, while the juggle based gameplay in the hardcore circles isn't everyones cup of tea at least you get variety from it. although in hardcore circles street fighter gets the proper treatment but otherwise its slightly abused.

Resident evil, again i was overly harsh with this one, really its is a very fun game, but its not my cup of tea. from having loved the atmosphere that the ps1 titles offered i felt a little left in the cold by the gameplay, sure it offers a different perspective on the emotions that were offered in the originals, but the end result isn't as great as the original atmospheric survival horror franchise that it is so well known for.

lord_of_balrogs6280d ago

Lost Planet anyone, that was a new IP.

Flewid6386280d ago

I finally played the game. I hate 2D fighters.....the only one I was forced to play (and mastered) was Alpha 3. Once 3D fighters came out WAY back in the 90's, I stuck to those. And with that said??

Street Fighter IV kicks ASS! Yes, it has the same control scheme as SFII with minor updates (EX moves, Focus attacks). But the physics of the game make it feel BRAND new. It's like the way SFII was meant to be played. I understnad it may not be ENTIRELY user-friendly to everyone (half circle this, quarter circle that)....but man....the way it moves and feels now......who would've known. 1991 Gameplay with 2009 Physics = Greatness. Not to mention the graphics are RIDIIIIIIIIIIIIIICULOUS.

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.

Darkseeker141d ago

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

Levii_92141d 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.

MehmetAlperTR141d ago (Edited 141d 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..

Neonridr141d 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.

neutralgamer1992141d 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

Tapani141d 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.

thesoftware730141d 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.

Redgrave141d 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.

DarXyde141d 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.

Alos88141d 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.

__y2jb140d 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.

gerbintosh141d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
