Capcom working on all 3 Next gen hardware

[HereticPB]

Since there is no future or Revolution board I'll put it here.

Capcom has confirmed that they are already working on several titles for all three next generation consoles, including Nintendo's "Revolution". However, Capcom has confirmed that the current generation of hardware is still their top priority.

Huh? Capcom doesn't make hardware.

[Michael]

^What? It's not saying capcom makes hardware, it says they are planning on realsing games on the next gen systems.

[SweetChinMusic]

But the topic says their making "3 Next gen hardware". Take the time to actually read the title.

[Serene Samus]

working on next gen hardware.

Making games for them. Not making hardware.

[SweetChinMusic]

But games aren't hardware.. they're software.

[Serene Samus]

Working on the hardware as working on all next gen systems.

Obviously they're not gonna make hardware.

[koten]

SweetChinMusic.

Capcom working on all 3 Next gen hardware means that they are working on making games for all 3 of the next gen systems. Not that they are making 3 hardwares for next gen.

[Carlos]

Ever hear of Development Kits? The companie(s) might have shipped early-build versions of all three kits....and besides, they can just import the code...Some companies develop launch games BEFORE the dev kits were shipped to them....It happens everytime a console is about to launch. Preparations is the key for successful launch titles.

[Kevin]

Working on the hardware means working on that platform, or in other words, making software for the hardware.

Anyways, that's good news. Expected, but still good.

[SweetChinMusic]

I wonder what games they are making..

[INF-Urafaerie]

Probably a new resident evil...?

Exspecially if RE4 turns out great.

[Markopolo356]

Hopefully a new VJ or RE.

[OutlawAdidas]

If RE 4 turns out to be hit they can carry that for another gen. But I think MGS and RE should be dying. Capcom to me has nothin else left. Capcom needs to bring back Street fighter but make it 3D

[SweetChinMusic]

They need a new series.

[alpha]

Resident Evil isn't dying or MGS as long as they have interesting stories and new gameplay elements.

[Kliq]

How about a new franchise? I'd love to see what else they can do - more RPGs!

[Hylian-Advocate]

This doesn't sound good for nintendo exclusivity:

"However, on the matter of Capcom franchises, the company talked about its Resident Evil series, saying the franchise has seen disappointing sales this generation, specifically for Resident Evil: Outbreak, which released on PlayStation 2 this year, exclusively. The franchise was the only one it mentioned in regards of supporting all three next-generation consoles."

But I guess the possitive for Nintendo is that the Sony Resi game did the worst.
Who knows.... maybee if RE4 does well enough, they'll go back and give Nintendo the Exclusivity,

[X2_revolution]

I figure most companies are by now. The next batch of consoles is pretty close really.

[Serene Samus]

Resident Evil and MGS are far from dead. Every RE game is great and offers something new. MGS - nothing to say, this series wont die.

[X2_revolution]

No, I have done decided that the coch roach of the industry, meaning it wont die not that it is a pest, is Final Fantasy. The damn series seems to keep on going and going.

[OutlawAdidas]

Its really never the Final final Fantasy. Alot of series are dying.

[Vishus]

Probably less games on the Rev and more on the other two.

[prime_timer]

Probably less games on the Rev and more on the other two.

Nah, look at how it shapoed up this gen. Most every Capcom game is on PS2, quite a few on GCN, but maybe 3 or 4 on Xbox. I think Capcom will give MS the shaft.

wait, wait, hold on a second. Capcom doesnt make MGS, Konami does, why the hell did you mention it in a list of Capcom games?

[Shotgun Plasma]

I hope they improved on mega man.

[MCKingKongMushi]

Wow, thanks for that informative information. Too bad nobody asked.



OH SNAP

[koten]

Be happy outlaw. The guy who created MGS (Hideo Kigeoma or something) said that he doesn't want to make any more MGS games. Maybe he'll move on to another stealth series?

[OutlawAdidas]

after RE 4, they can put RE 5 on the PS3 if they wanted to. Oh no. Capcom disappoints me

[koten]

^ well, knowing capcom... they will end up doing that.

I can't believe they are using the gamecube as a tester system. "Hum... Vjoe was hailed as a great game on GC. I bet it would be even better on PS2." They're so two faced it's disgusting

[iandaemon]

How about a new franchise? I'd love to see what else they can do - more RPGs!

Yeah! More RPGs!

[Glenn2K4]

i would hate to see RE5 on PS3 after the (assumed) success of the RE4 on the GC. :(
thats just wrong.

[koten]

Capcom said there is NO REASON to assume that RE5 will be on Nintendo's next console. Now i don't know if that means it'll be this gen or if Capcom is going through it's two-faced act again.

[Viper]

That just means that Capcom had a deal with Nintendo to release (or re-release) the REmake, RE0, RE1, RE2, RE3, Code Veronica X and RE4 exclusivley on Gamecube. Once that contract was up, Capcom has rights to release the main RE franchise games on any system. It was by no means a forever thing.

[X2_revolution]

Yeah, I was wondering why it makes a devolper two-faced if they release a series on multiple consoles.

....damn it, Midway must be up to thier two-faced act by releasing MK: Deception both on Xbox and PS2...

[koten]

I ment two faced by this.

Viewtiful Joe! Only for Nintendo Gamecube!

1 Year later

Viewtiful Joe! Now on PS2!

^ That is two faced. The RE thing is also because they got the hopes of every GC owner up with 2 exclusives, a remake and 3 ports and then suddenly they are going to snatch it away and continue the story on another console.

[Vishus]

The capcom 5 except for RE4 was never meant to be exclusive to the GCN but if the tester thing (link?) was true then I would admit that sucks. If there was no idea of just simply testing then theres no reason to hate capcom.

[koten]

If there was no idea of just simply testing then theres no reason to hate capcom.

I'm sorry, but I really don't get what you are trying to say here.

[prime_timer]

Capcom says it all depends on how well RE 4 sells. Its going to break at least a million or 2 in Japan, and i hope it sells just as well around the world. If we want RE on future Nintendo systems, then we all better pull through and buy the game.

[Michael]

Re4 should sell well in the Us too...It's really dark and griddy, just what the fanbase wants...I hope it sells well too, but this might be one of the defining games of our gen...don't screw it up Capcom...

[Hisham]

That is two faced. The RE thing is also because they got the hopes of every GC owner up with 2 exclusives, a remake and 3 ports and then suddenly they are going to snatch it away and continue the story on another console.

LMAO, your so ignorant. The RE series orginated on the PS1. You could say the same thing for sony fanboys feeling the same thing. If you want to play RE, get your head out of your ass, and buy the system it's on. Don't complain it's capcom's fault. I bet the only reason you got into Resident Evil, was because it's on Gamecube. But you probably cared less about it when it was on PS1. Now that's what I call two-faced.

Capcom needs to bring back Street fighter but make it 3D

Noooooooooooo. Didn't you see how horribly the street fighter EX series turned out. It was there try on 3D, and I can honestly tell you, it sucked.

[Serene Samus]

Yeah, Koten, you pwned yourself. Capcom isn't doing anything wrong. Just because they make games for PS2 doesn't mean their evil.

[Backlash]

Releasing their "exclusive" games on another system was not two faced in this instance (VJ). In their contract with Nintendo, they said that it was a limited exclusivity (except RE as far as I know). Once the limit ran out, they are legally able to port it over to another system. As for letting down all these Nintendo fans, I guess it's not morally the right thing to do to say that these games are exclusive and then take them away, but it was Nintendo who made the announcement that they were exclusive, and then a few months later Capcom clarified that they were only temporarily exclusive.

Capcom did this to make easy money, and if you owned a company, you would be using any shortcuts to making quick money as you could, especially in the game industry.

[Hisham]

It isn't really wrong morally. Even before P.NO3 was released, they said that the capcom 5 (except RE4) weren't going to be exclusive. Now releasing it on other systems after saying that even before they released VJ isn't really wrong. If it got the hopes of gamecube owners up, it's there own fault because it was even said that it may go to another console before it was even released.

[OutlawAdidas]

LMAO, your so ignorant. The RE series orginated on the PS1. You could say the same thing for sony fanboys feeling the same thing. If you want to play RE, get your head out of your ass, and buy the system it's on. Don't complain it's capcom's fault. I bet the only reason you got into Resident Evil, was because it's on Gamecube.

Noooooooooooo. Didn't you see how horribly the street fighter EX series turned out. It was there try on 3D, and I can honestly tell you, it sucked.

make it more like Virtua Fighter or Tekken. Add innovation to it. Or make it like SSBM. An entire areana and when u get close to ur opponent the camera adjusts. SF can't remain 2d forever. Throw in VJ in it. Bison vs Captain Blue

[speed stick]

^Yeah, those street fighter games were really crappy. I would't mind seeing another RE game on the Nintendo console next gen, but like it was said, sales are going to be the main thing.

[OutlawAdidas]

yup so buy 2 copies of RE 4

[Hisham]

Meh, if you make it like VF4 or Tekken, it won't be the same. And the only reason that it's staying 2D is because it's MUCH harder to incorporate all that they have done over the years on 3D. Now in 2D games, you can have jumping attacks. You can't do that in true 3D, unless your thinking of 2.5D where there isn't 8 direction movement.

IMO, the only fighters suited for 3D are ones that can seem more realistic, and aren't as over the top. You see, there are hardly any projectels in VF4 or Tekken. Same goes for many others.

I can only see SF turning 3D, if they totally change up the formula that has made street fighter what it is.
