Capcom Aiming to Increase Resident Evil Output

Andriasang: "Capcom will be upping its output of Resident Evil, according to a report from Nikkei's web edition.

As part of a general report on attempts by publishers to reduce development times, the site states that Capcom aims to increase output of popular series like Resident Evil from the current two titles per year to three or four titles per year."

So we should hear about RE6 soon then?

Faztkiller5781d ago (Edited 5781d ago )

Hope so

I want two new RE games one like RE5 with the awesome Co-op/Multiplayer and one with the scary style gameplay.

Dragun6195781d ago

Hmm, not sure if this is a great idea, I mean, sure we get more Resident Evil games, but Capcom hasn't been entirely lucky with western developers for example Bionic Commando and Dark Void. Hopefully, they get the right developer that will help make RE6, but I prefer Capcom at least try to get Shinji Mikami to do the next resident evil.

HolyOrangeCows5781d ago

Oh, yeah, THAT's what Resident Evil needs, more sequels spat out.

Mahr5781d ago

"So we should hear about RE6 soon then?"

This is Capcom we are talking about, so the more likely scenario is more Resident Evil railshooters, remakes, and ports for the duration.

Hopefully bro, haven't heard from a new Resident Evil game in agesss.

I also hope they remake Resident Evil 2 and 3

dizzleK5781d ago (Edited 5781d ago )

reduced development times doesn't mean you should shit them out as fast and as much as possible.

how about releasing less but BETTER games? that'll stabilize earnings too...

this industry is doomed. capcom seems to ignore the fact that they've released nothing but shit this gen. maybe THAT has something to do with falling profits? nah, make more games!!!

Baltis5781d ago (Edited 5781d ago )

Oh, god. Typical Capcom. I can see a Super Resident Evil 5 Gold edition coming before we see RE6. God I hate Capcom and love them at the same time. I have a lot of fond memories of their games growing up. Sadly, I can't think of anything good they've done since then. Commando, Ghost n' Goblins, Mega Man, Strider, Street Fighter 2, Final Fight and so many others made me love Capcom when I was a kid. Now, it's all the same with them. Milk and bleed, not only their franchises, but the consumer too. Bleed them dry at that.

With this way of thinking and this business model, Capcom will put themselves out of business. They'll become a financial risk to their backers even. Less quality games at a faster rate doesn't sound good to me. The RE series already suffers from a lack of quality.

Take note, Sony, you're falling behind by a lot.

-Foxtrot60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

I was just going to say this, their biggest and top rated game here is TLOU2 for PC….it’s embarrassing.

Even Ubisoft and EA are ahead

Kind of surprised Nintendo is pretty low aswell, their biggest game is also a rerelease with the Switch 2 version of TotK.

StoneColdCrazy60d ago

That’s what happens when you start shutting down your own studios and forget what actually made you matter in the industry in the first place. Sony used to set the standard — now it feels like they’ve lost that identity. And if they decide to walk away from the PC market too, that’s going to be another huge mistake — that platform is only growing, and ignoring it now would just put them even further behind.

@christopher:” Take note, Sony, you're falling behind by a lot.”
.
Why single out Sony? Microsoft didn’t do any better than the year before 5th same as Sony 9th and they have acquired activision and other mayor titles that have boosted their score massively from a 9th and Sony a 4th the year before the acquisitions.
Sony does need to do better without a doubt and I do hope they do take note but not the note of buying publishers is the way to succeed.

Christopher60d ago

1. Microsoft didn't get worse.
2. Sony got way worse.
3. Because Sony needs the criticism the most considering their publishing output this generation has been propped up by last gen ports and third-party developers for the most part.

1Victor,

I don't wanna speak for Christopher, but like most of us we recognize that Sony's output this Gen has been way below their own standards.

Also Sony did buy a fair amount of Devs, I know you will say they were not publishers, and don't compare in size, but they had their fair share of Aquisitions, including the very well established Bungie.

The overall point is with their stellar first party track record of the past, they should not be going down, they are singled out because they are some of the best videogame devs/publisher on the planet...no matter what reasons we attribute to the situation, they are moving in the wrong direction... period.

Its widely accept that Sony this generation has been underwhelming. We've had more peripheral releases, controller variants, PS5 accessories than games it feels like. The exclusives were also PS4 and what little output they have put exclusively on PS5 is nowhere near as memorable as what came in every generation before that.

This isn't a Sony hate post but anyone who's older and has been around for a long time gaming will agree that PS5 is by far Sony's worst generation. As much as Xbox is in the gutter, I pray the do bounce back in the hope we get Sony to wake up again.

darthv7259d ago (Edited 59d ago )

If you want to critique MS... you are doing so towards their management. The games output and their hardware have been much better than PS this gen. Sadly... people still hold a grudge against XB because of MS. Thankfully i am not that petty... I've been enjoying their games output in the drought of PS. And add in some NS1/2 games as well to balance things out. Things will change for me once Wolverine hits, and I start using my 5 more. That one I'm looking forward to. And the Marvel fighter... I'm not a GTA player so that has no bearing on my view of things.

Big part of that has been the live service push resulting in cancellation or flop after flop but when they put out the games their fans want we get amazing stuff like astro bot

Leadership really screwed the pooch trend chasing

Well I apologize I was wrong about not doing worse but my statement of Microsoft getting a boost still stand 🤷🏿

1Victor60d ago

Well OBSCURED unlike you I’m honorable enough to recognize when I’m wrong and apologize.
.
@ The software you know there’s no comparison between what Microsoft acquired and what Sony acquired that’s why you tried to get ahead of the conversation, yes we all know Sony can do better than what they have done this gen but they inhaled the poison GAS they thought would bring money for years but we make sure they got the message and quite a few games got cancelled you know as well a hit like that take years to be corrected and by now they hopefully will have taken steps away from the GAS and slowed their approach to them.

bsingle4059d ago

You will say anything when you are in denial that your hardware is dead and nobody wants your platform. Good luck with Helix because nobody will buy it.

But... but... the garbage-mongers always tell us that Square Enix is in trouble! 😂

Christopher60d ago

Square doesn't help that it fear mongers itself with ridiculous 'goals' that they can't reach and then they proclaim failure if they don't reach it. They're quite freaking profitable and people act like they're dying.

SimulationDaily60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

Keep in mind that these "proclamations" are usually third-hand bad translations from somedude who was at the investor conference, posted on Twitter, and picked up by press and youtubers like they were gold, and then when the official translation comes out, they're much softer statements, but at that point, the damage is done.

gold_drake60d ago

to be very fair

being number one on these things does not indicate how "well" their games do selling wise.

Capcom Insists It Won't Use AI-Generated Assets in Its Games, Will Harness Tech during Development

Capcom has clarified its current stance on generative AI in its videogames. The major Japanese publisher and developer behind popular series like Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and Monster Hunter has revealed that while it doesn't use gen-AI assets in their games, it is exploring ways to use generative AI to streamline the game development process.

Chocoburger60d ago

Using Artificial Intelligence (more like Realistic Stupidity) art assets in your games is a great way to get people to boycott your product. We don't need that ugly, unsophisticated, generic, fake art in our games, good on CAPCOM for not using that garbage.

blacktiger60d ago

Naw you can't fool us, You work with Nvidia, that's a fact! And here you wanted to advertise but now look stupid!
