>>386213762
I used to love Dead Rising, now look at what they did to the franchise.

>>386213804
half of those are dead and you know it

>>386213746
it includes Catalog sales (aka, games that released last year, also by SKU I think it means each individual port)
its 37 Total

so teh Disney Afternoon Collection (PC, PS4, Xbone), the street Fighter II (Switch), Street Fighter V (PS4, PC), Marvel Vs Capcom: I(PS4, PC, Xbone), Mon Hun XX(Switch and 3DS), Mons Hun World(PS4, PC, Xboe) , RE:7(PS4, PC, Xbone) , RE 4 and 5(PS4,PC, Xbone), Revelations dual pack (PS4, PC Xbone, Switch)

this is 27 SKU more or less to my count

>>386214157

>Monster Hunter World is a gamble to appeal to the western market
Did Keiji Inafune's past fuck-ups with Capcom not teach them anything.

>>386214560
They didn't learn from trying to modernize their other franchises like Lost Planet and Dead Rising.

>>386214473
I dont even think Capcom release 42 games last year. or were even 42 Capcom games selling

>>386213298

Atleast Ace Attorney is still great

SoJ was fantastic and Japan literally just got DGS2

>>386214643
dont forget Donte May Cry

Reminder that Capcom somehow considered Ultra Street fighter 2's sales satisfactory to make them support Switch more

Is this due to low expectations or did the game ironically do better than DR4 and SFV?

>>386214560
They learned from MHXX bombing

>>386214818
apparently not considering it's getting a switch port in a few weeks

they should have learned from Stories bombing, they spent so much fucking money on nearly full voice acting and a morning cartoon+premium time slot, as well as a Western localization, and it sold on par with the fucking Airou games

>>386214818
>MHXX bombing
>at 1.6 Million sales

I dont want to know how much they really expect MHW to sell to recover the costs

>>386214780
>Is this due to low expectations or did the game ironically do better than DR4 and SFV?
Low expectations

that being said DR4 sold mediocre, and SFV PS4+ PC sits at like 1.6M copies up to June 30

fucking ARMS is at 1.1M copies up to June 30

>>386214976
>2 million expected sales
>low budget

MH4G alone (not MH4) has

200 dev staff
1.5 years dev time
several billion yen budget (tens of millions of dollars)

About 30-60-ish times more than your average Japanese game, for an expansion.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc0rdazCw24

MHW expected sales are here >>386213746

>>386214780
Half a million copies sold is a lot, especially when it's a cheap overpriced port of 25 years old game.
You might be surprised, but games don't sell tens of millions on every release.
http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/million.html

>>386214780

The game barely used resources so there was no chance of a loss but it still performed better than expected

>>386214780
I doubt that it sold more copies than SFV, but I'm sure that it cost way less to produce. Hopefully Capcom are just thinking "Wow, if something this cheap and shitty can sell, imagine how well an actually good game would do!"
Who am I kidding, they're just going to shit out more crummy cashgrabs.

>>386215068
yes XX its a fucking repacking with extra content, not a full blown out title

if not selling 2M is a flop, I cant imagine their fucking bar for Worlds ,4 years dev time HD.

also >>386213746 is 10.3M sales AMONG 37 SKU counting New and OLD games

>>386213298
So who is going to buy them late next year?

>>386213298
I think it's a great example of a company who have fantastic material to build profit but is terribly mismanaged, and therefore they will never see any.

>>386215075
>>386214780
Yes, the amount of copies need to be sold in order to consider it successful or a flop depends entirely on the budget of the game.
I seriously doubt the additions to USF2 cost much. If the investment was minimal, then half a million copies sold is fantastic.

>>386215670

>>386214780

I hope this actually means something

Yeah, they sure do.

>>386215987
Honestly, for now it means more ports. They're getting out of remasters for PS4 and Xbone so they can sell the same thing yet again on Switch.
Capcom isn't rich enough for development of many games, their recent new games fall short of sale target (SF5, DR4, even RE7), while remasters bring massive profit despite cheap development costs.

Ace Attorney Trilogy was on a mobile first before any 3DS game and we are still getting 3DS games

Mobile doesn't have SoJ or VS Layton or DGS, even in japan

>>386213298
They could make a Darkstalkers 4 with the GGXRd graphic style and have most of their current failures forgiven.
They could release remasters of their classic games to keep functioning while they figure out who's sabotaging the company from within.

REmake 2 is still happening. They are still selling their shit on PS3/X360 to PS4/XBone/etc. For e.g. They are re-releasing Resident Evil Revelations 1 and 2 for Switch.

>>386216567
What does September 14 has to do with anything? It's still in FY2014. Anyway looking at the chart, they sell lesser but have higher profits. Meaning more on catalog sales or that they didn't have many losses that year.

Which was then followed up by the massive piece of shit known as 6. Kiwami was just 0.5 on top of that, while adding dumb shit like Majima Everywhere and the shitty electronic soundtrack.

Every single one of those except for the Sonic games originally came out in 2016 or earlier. It's kind of silly to credit Persona 5 to Sega just because they bought Atlus, and Yakuza has been going on for years. The only reason someone might characterize this as a recent comeback is if they only pay attention to the games that are currently being marketed to them.

>>386214976
3M, as much as Tri.
Unlucky for them there were more Wiis than Bones and Nogamestation4s combined.
PC may save the blunder.

>>386216868


Not even close.

>>386216602
You mean a subsidiary, which wouldn't make sense to keep the business and management as it is. You also wouldn't want to keep the huge amount of capcom workers when any gaming company that buys capcom would have their own developers. The best thing to do at that point would be to dissolve capcom and hold a firesales for the IPs.

All the people on the executive board don't play video games.

Not even "don't like them" like /v/, but simply doesn't play them/know about them.

That's a good thing, though. The less the corporate types know about video games, the more likely they are to trust the creators and approve of their ideas. It's when they actually know a little bit about their industry that they start meddling with design.
Not that any of this matters when the designers themselves don't know what they're doing, of course.

monster hunter and RE save them every time

>>386216397
Sega buying Atlus doesn't make Sega talented in making games.

>>386217993
>The less the corporate types know about video games, the more likely they are to trust the creators and approve of their ideas.

That is like the opposite of what is happening, though. These aren't American Businessmen. These are old Japanese men who like things done in a particular way, all the time, with no deviance.

Also due to their lack of knowledge about the IP's and histories, they don't know how to market them or push the company in a good direction.

when they have a awesome IP like dragons dogma

and never do anything about it outside of japan

Literally nothing wrong this

Most Japanese devs are appealing to the west

FFXV appealed to the west and became the fastest and best selling game of the franchise

But meh, this is /v/eddit, you don't know anything about this

>>386217993
But if the management doesn't know shit about the industry and let the creator makes whatever they want you're going to have the problem such as RE7 where the thing simply won't sell at the budget it got. It's a two way thing.

>>386213298
Capcom's problem is that they stopped catering to Japan and tried to cater to the US, but the US is pretty choosey on what they support, and most of the US population that games isn't interested in things that are from Japan.They literally need to start riding Nintendo and Sony cock harder

It's great they've re-released most of the RE titles, but they need to bring some love for the real Devil May Cry and bring back Onimusha. Definitely move Dead Rising to PS4 and PC.

Not at all

FF VII-XII appealed to the Japanese market

They started to appeal with FFXII

Even Nu-tendo is starting to appeal to the west with games like BoTW

>>386218342
I don't think it's so much the designer has to know things as it is, it's simply not their job to monitor these things. It's up to management to act as a balance and check against the designers.

>>386218321
Thank you anon.

Today I learned I could hate more than I thought was possible for me.

Did Lost Planet 3 try to appeal to the west?

>>386218620
Yes, they made it a generic TPS

It will take a good 10 years of really shitty performance for capcom to actually die. This is how I know most of you assholes are extremely and woefully financially illiterate.

>>386214952
because it wasn't the cool side of monster hunter. I tried to watch that yesterday. It's awfully boring.does it get better?

>>386218620
Story is that Kenji Inafune was asked by capcom of america why there games are not selling. Kenji said is because american game design is better, look at how many copies Call of Duty sells. Then capcom hires western devs to make games like DMC, LP3, etc

>>386213298
MHW is literally the last straw, if somehow they manage to fuck it up im never going to support them again

>>386218463
I guess you might be right. I still think it's true that we're generally likely to get better games if managers meddle less, but thinking about it in terms of sales, it's probably not that simple.

It literally will bomb no matter what, not because of sales, but because Capcom has fucking retarded expectations for everything.

To be fair, Megaman had been selling like shit in the late stages of Battle Network, but that's because Capcom mismanaged the franchise so badly that it had to end.

The tone deaf response to the MML3 campaign has no excuse though, and if I remember what one of my friends said at the time (who worked in Capcom JP), the execs were completely confused on why everyone was so angry a game got canceled.

>>386213762
I mean, it could be good, all the aspects are there. It's just they'd rather create this faux MMO bullshit with good combat and resell it every 6 months.

>>386217265
Fuck that's grim, I loved RE7 at least. It'd be sad if a company with such a great legacy went under.

>>386218965
Sega needed a merger with Sammy in that time.

>>386221360
Who did Nintendo steal from Capcom? I'm aware of the Flagship staff who did the Oracles and Minish Cap, with Hidemaro Fujibayashi in particular who went on to direct Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild.

>>386213298
Eh, Capcom have a history of taking gambles when their IPs get stale.

They make an IP, they run it in to the ground, they revamp it, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

>Successful revamps
Megaman w/ the X series
Resident Evil w/ 4
Resident Evil w/ 7
Monster Hunter w/ 3
Ace Attorney w/ PL

>Unsuccessful revamps
Street Fighter w/ 5 (massive gamble that they fucked up with)
DMC w/ Donte (probably killed the series)
Darkstalkers w/ Resurrection
Dead Rising w/ 4


Etc. It's all part of the big gamble. Don't know what they'll do if Worlds fails, though. They kinda let series die if the reboot fails.

>>386222210
Japan is still getting regular MH games, and the western market is far bigger. They've been trying to make it huge with MH in US and EU for years, and it never quite takes off. Honestly, they're damned if they do and damned if they don't.

>>386225293
>Resident Evil w/ 7
>successful
It's a good game, but it's not meeting their sales expectations which means good luck seeing that quality continue

>>386225293
>Resident Evil w/ 7
7 still under performing last I Remember

>>386213298
My main guess:
BEcause all the good people left long ago and are now either at Platinum Games, Inti, or others.
Capcom won't live long anymore. They should be bought by some caring company to wake all those IPs again. Before it's too late or get bought by some asshole companies like Konami or EA(or any other western company)

>>386225468
>>386225735
I think the distinction here is that it's not meeting their sales targets. The games are clearly profitable, but the fact that Capcom continuously fails to meet their outrageous expectations creates an air of doubt and negativity with investors -- which puzzles me as to why they continue to do so.

MH World is going to fall very short of what they hope, and they'll have no one but themselves to blame for that. What happens afterward will be them scrambling to solidify some sort of foothold in a market that is increasingly leaving them behind.

Resident 7 is profitable for them but Capcom has stupid high expectations

I don't know, what we've heard about RE7's expectations sounds in line with a new mainline game meant to do really well. It's not something retarded like 10 million in a year or whatever the hell FFXIII's was

>It's not something retarded like 10 million in a year
is this Ironic posting? cause 10M is what capcom expect RE7 to sell on its life time (so little over 1 year, 2 at best)

Honestly I feel bad for Capcom, tons of super talented people work there, it's just that management is classic out of touch japanese business men.

RE7 was great but horribly marketed.
Infinite roster is completely butchered due to company politics and greed but the actual gameplay looks great.
Monster Hunter World looks like it'll be fun but they're clearly trying to casualize it.
Dragon's Dogma was a flawed gem and Itsuno's new game will probably be great.

DR4 was trash however and SFV is only recently been shaping up into something decent.

I think the problem with Capcom is the fact that they have upper management and investors who can't accept the fact that the company isn't the juggernaut it once was.

Capcom most likely won't make a game like Resident Evil 6 ever again, that age of Capcom is gone. Resident Evil 7 was clearly an attempt at scaling back and a step in the right direction. Yet despite this you literally have fucking investor Q&A that asks-
>RE7 DIDN'T SELL AS MUCH AS RE6 FUCKING WHYYYYYYYY REEEEEEEE.

Compare this to a company like Namco Bandai, who's games I don't much care for but they fucking understand their place and their audience. There is clearly people at Capcom trying to get with the times, but a lot of people involved can't take a hint and its hurting the company massively.

The Chinese market's going to have a big impact on mainstream gaming in the near future, but it remains to be seen if companies like Tencent can actually compete on the world stage.

It's one thing to try and market a service when you've effectively banned all competition or run them out of town (Baidu, Taobao, WeChat, etc.), but so many 'Chinese-localised versions of X' are just unmitigated trash in comparison to the originals.

I think the problem with Capcom is their intense focus on the West and trying to reach Call of Duty kind of numbers when it comes to sales. Their Resident Evil games always sell a shit ton, probably because of the trash movies with Milla Jovovich that for some reason are super popular, but that is all they have.

If Capcom weren't stupid they'd be filling their pockets with money by releasing a new Power Stone game on the Switch but at this point that company has already lost all their talent. Capcom burnt too many bridges, which is why Platinum Games exist. Because they fucking hated working for Capcom. Especially Kamiya after they took Devil May Cry away from him and forced him to work on game he didn't want to work on.

>>386233712
Broken implies that they're not working as intended. They don't exactly match the monster's models, but they're consistent, and they work perfectly for the style of gameplay classic MH tries to encourage.
Sorry that you actually have to predict attacks and not stand in their way to begin with instead of rolling through everything.

How is Resurrection a gamble? It was literally an HD remaster with a bit of new paint for PS360, but the games were basically the same.

The 'gamble' for them I guess was trying to sell a billion of copies of a 20 year old game, which naturally backfired.

Also I always heard Resurrection sold well yet Capcom wasn't satisfied? If the thing sold well then I guess Capcom made some bank, like it is doing right now with Ultra2 for Switch since they didn't spend a dime on those projects.

It's still a minor change, they're doing an overhaul to many of the series staples, now that they're finally capable of rendering large maps, they've basically put everything under scrutiny and made various changes in order to fit this one in. I wish people would be less pessimistic about all these changes and just be a bit more neutral and consider what changes are being made and why, and consider that maybe, JUST MAYBE, the rest of the game will change so they fit in with it.

Nah it's all awful, it's all over. Time to repost the same IG webm for the hundreth time

>>386235548
It's not a health meter, the heartbeat sensor shows whether a monster is in its regular state, enraged, or weak.

>>386236195
It's still a fucking change in a series that didn't NEED change. All of these changes only serve to make MH more like a generic action game, rather than the Monster Hunter people love. They're changing shit to accomodate other changes that nobody wanted to begin with.

The funny thing is that this is the absolute WORST way to play tonfas. Staying grounded and abusing EX evades/EX clears is far stronger.

>>386236325
And I think that these changes are welcome, will revitalize a series that's been treading water for a fair amount of time now, and will bring in a lot of new people. I love MH and I'm happy to see changes, not that the old things were bad, but changes require balls, which is something i respect, and it's also being run by the mainline team, which is full of people that I trust.

in other words, don't speak for the entire monster hunter community, and stop thinking that every change is automatically a bad one

>>386236973
>and will bring in a lot of new people.
It won't just look at how there's not even a peep of the game outside of places like here. To top it off its mostly negative reception to the changes.
It's not only not going to attract new players but it's also going to alienate older fans.

>>386236973
>will revitalize a series that's been treading water
Define "treading water".

>>386236325
>It's still a fucking change in a series that didn't NEED change.
This is how you know your series desperately needs changes.

>>386237178
What "other places" do you refer to? Where do you see all this negativity? How about you post some actual proof or some shit, because from what I've seen, almost all reception for the new footage, aside from the miserable fucks that sit in 4chan, has been positive, or at the very least, cautiously optimistic.

>>386237287
Doing the same things over and over, running out of ways to make new maps, running out of space in terms of ways to introduce new things to the series, in a way that doesn't fucking suck (like X/XX). 4U was great, but how many releases can you make on the same engine, with the same movesets, with the same map layout into zones, with the same monsters, until it starts wearing out its welcome? Or do you just want them to keep rereleasing 4U, with a few more monsters each time?

They need to sell Mega Man, Okami, Viewtiful Joe and Ace Attorney to Nintendo. It's not like they care about the IP's themselves.

You don't honestly believe this is the case do you? Literally every game thus far has expanded the game in those areas gteatly including Generations and XX.

>Capcom

Still haven't forgiven them since the multiple on-disc DLC in RE5.

They were the first JP company to heavily adopt kike western practices in all of their vidya series. They played themselves for those short term gains.

The fucking Activision of JP if you will.

If they keep on ding what they've been doing for the games from FU to XX then never. Sounds like you either didn't like MH to begin with or are burnt out.

>>386237609
As far as I can tell, 4U introduced some of my least favorite maps in the entire series, and added 2 new weapons, which are kind of wringing out the last drops of weapons that can be added to the game without going overboard and breaking the game by making a weapon that just doesn't mesh with its themes. Hell, IG is fairly close to being that.

I honestly, honestly believe that if MHW weren't to exist and MH5 would be yet-another-MH-game in the same engine, that it'll start to get old for some people. Probably not a lot more than a small minority, but these kinds of things cause burnout.

>>386237680
Here's your (You)

>>386237759
They're also free which is the only way to make it acceptable

>>386237768
X and XX aren't mainline games and I would much, much rather have MHW be the new mainline entry than X, seeing as it's a broken, ridiculous mess of a game that introduced some insanely unbalanced shit.

>>386237821
>that it'll start to get old for some people.
You do realise the series you're talking about right?

>>386237905
X is the most balanced game in the series.

World defenders haven't played X. Their knowledge of it ends at LOL ANIME.

>>386238129
Nice strawman, I have played X, lost my save file, and am currently playing through it a second time, and I stand by my statement that X is the most broken game in the franchise, if only for the introduction of adept style, which makes every encounter into a trivial one.

>>386238370
And there it is again, like fucking clockwork

>>386226216
Master, I have traveled many miles to get here

I can never forgive them for making a jap only DD mmo instead of a sequel.

>>386238259
Case in point. Regurgitating the same thing over and over without going into actual detail.

>>386238259
Adept isn't even that safe outside of guns and DB

>>386238562
You want actual detail? Fine.
Adept Longsword lets you
1) Have FREE evasion +2 for the awful, awful price of not being able to fade dash away from a monster, and not being able to do the 4th spirit combo
2) Lets you LEVEL UP your sword in ONE spirit combo hit, instead of 4
3) Lets you level up your sword without knocking everyone to the ground
4) The counter hit is insanely strong and can pretty much stop every monster dead in its tracks

These changes make longsword from a weapon of positioning, abusing your fade slashes, and wringing every drop of your spirit meter, into a weapon that's about dodging, and then pressing X and R, and leveling up your sword. I can't remember the last time I had a fight with my adept LS that I wasn't in red weapon form for most of the time in.

Is that specific enough for you? Or do you want another explanation about how with the stupid skill combinations that you can abuse in striker style switch axe you can remain in sword form indefinitely?

>>386238619
Adept hammer and LS are 1000% safer than their alternative and allow you to attack much more often.

>>386238745
Adept is Easy mode and turned off by default. Why aren't you playing on Hard if you want a challenge?

>>386238745
Not the anons you're talking to but aer you really complaining that a game gives players MORE options rather than forcing out in the player like World has?

>>386238814
this is the equivalent of saying
>why aren't you not rolling in all directions, why aren't you not using ___ moves, why aren't you not using scout flies?
Which is basically a moot point. If something is in the game, then the game needs to be balanced to account for it, if "you can not use this feature" is a valid statement then 90% of what you fucking whiners are complaining about in MHW is also invalidated.

>>386238952
I don't mind more options, I mind that the options that are put into the game are there without accounting for balance in the slightest and there's many style/weapon combos that fucking break the game.

>>386238745
You can only get off your full adept spirit slash combo with proper timing, and outside of that simply adept dodging everything is a massive DPS loss
The most popular LS style in MHX wasn't even Adept, but Striker

>>386238959
No, not really. Adept is literally casual mode. All games need to have a casual mode nowadays.

Did you use super guides in Galaxy 2 too and complain about the game being too easy? I mean, it's there, so you have to use it, right?

more like CRAPcom am i rite

>>386239006
>and there's many style/weapon combos that fucking break the game.
You literally just listed one that still requires competency from the player to work. That's not exactly broken.

I'm not talking about what the most effective style is, I'm talking about the styles that make the game the most trivial

>>386239103
>one is advertised as a style that's designed for experienced and competent players, to the point where it's even in the name
>the other is a handholding guide that's signposted as easy mode

Not an argument. If Adept style was "baby mode style" then that'd be a whole other story.

>>386239151
You have to be genuinely bad to not figure out how to play in adept style.

>>386239227
>inb4 people try to blame it on the gamespy servers

>>386239261
>Not an argument. If Adept style was "baby mode style" then that'd be a whole other story.

It is. It's even called Bushido, following the trend of "catering to japan is ez mode" set by Fire Emblem.

Alchemy is even more casual mode but they don't call it as such because the casual/hardcore rift is something that only exists in the west.

>>386239324
I blame Jhen Mohran. Fucker got them at last.

>>386239261
>You have to be genuinely bad to not figure out how to play in adept style
Thanks for stating what I already said anon.

>>386239393
>Alchemy is even more casual mode
Anon is not aware of the equivalent exchange mechanic

>>386238952
Options are fine, but it'd be nice if the Generations and XX were balanced around those options. Instead you have certain styles and skills that break the game as it were because monsters weren't overhauled to compensate for things like Adept, Aerial, or the numerous hunting arts. Then of course Capcom does the most ass backwards thing possible and breaks things even further with newer styles in the sequel.

Shit looks fun as fuck just as MH supposed to be
It isn't Frontier-like anyway, so fuck off

>>386239620
It's the best possible move and one of the smartest directions to take a franchise I've ever seen.

MH is hard but popular, and by adding different styles they

1. Let filthy casuals play the game with their gfs or whatever
2. Let hardcore veterans play the game exactly like the old games

Everyone got what they wanted and yet you're complaining because you think the other side shouldn't be allowed to have what they got. That's just pathetic.

>>386239883
Literally this

But it's capcom.

They made monster hunter. And mega man. And everything else in life that's good.

>>386239620
>Aerial, or the numerous hunting arts
Funny you would mention that because they are balanced. Aerial through greatly increased mounting and the arts through both charge times, which vary with the more powerful ones having a long charge, and the fact that you need to immobilise the monster for a good hit. Hell adept itself requires the player to know how to play at a competent level to be "broken"

>>386239883
Slow your roll, I never said 'the other side' shouldn't have it, but it'd be nice if it was better balanced overall.
>2. Let hardcore veterans play the game exactly like the old games
So what if the hardcore players want to use the new styles, but stop because it takes fun out of the game? You're just going to tell them to run Guild which they have for every other game in the series? How's that solve anything?

>>386239883
And now we have World which is just casual with no option for vets.

>>386239883
So you admit you only care about the series marketing and not the heart of the series itself. May I suggest a noose for an armchair businessman like you?
