Capcom Needs To Focus On New Games Rather Than Remakes

Since the Skate series isn't as dated and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 had the massive leap in gameplay, it makes logical sense to recreate this game . A reenvisioning of the game could add modes like online multiplayer and other cool featu
After rumors of the RE4 remake made the rounds on Sunday, many fans were disappointed that Code Veronica wasn't getting the nod instead. The outcry was so significant that Code: Veronica began trending on Twitter despite there being no recent rumors regarding a potential remake. Despite this Dreamcast classic being overshadowed by the hype and success of RE4 , the game still has its passionate fanbase. And these fans are very vo
Resident Evil Code: Veronica is one of the top selling and best reviewed games on the Dreamcast. In 2020, its cult following is strong enough to make Code Veronica a top trending topic on Twitter. When rumors suggested that RE4 was next in line for a reboot, fans of the famed Dreamcast game voiced their frustrations and got the attention of the gaming press. The Cult of Code Veronica will not be silen
Even when the dust had settled, however, Street Fighter 5 drew plenty of well-aimed criticism for the content on show. The title’s story mode proved to be extremely short, with even Capcom itself admitting that it could be beaten easily within 1-2 hours . Fans of the franchise immediately took the story mode to task, with one user even able to get his 6-month old baby to beat the ga
Both RE titles are definitive classics in their own right, but which one will be chosen as the next Resident Evil remake. Should it be RE4 that redefined the series entirely? Or should the next RE remake stick with strictly survival horror with Code: Veroni
Ever since their introduction in Resident Evil 2 , Lickers became one of the most feared and most popular enemies in the Resident Evil franchise. Similar to Crimson Heads, Lickers are mutations from severely injured zombies, but this mutation is caused by a separate t-Virus strain. Lickers are known for their large exposed brains and extremely long tongue. Although these creatures do not have the ability to see, they are extremely sensitive to sound and are able to hunt their prey just by listening to their movements. Although Lickers were present in Raccoon City during the Outbreak, Jill Valentine wasn't able to encounter them, but it will be interesting to see whether these monsters will be present in the remake, especially inside the police stat
That said, there is still plenty of potential hidden within Capcom, and some games that are trying to push new ground for the company are piquing interest in the community. Although Umbrella Corps , for instance, has caused a few raised eyebrows from fans of the Resident Evil franchise, there are signs that the title could prove to be something to look out for . If nothing else, should Umbrella Corps prove to be an interesting game in its own right, perhaps Capcom will stop trying to shoehorn in action-adventure Game Exploration guide mechanics in to the main Resident Evil series, where they have been widely rejected by longtime follow
Although, at its time, Resident Evil 4 was certainly revolutionary when it came to third-person shooters. But in 2020, the game stands out as a product of the past that doesn't live up to current shooter standards. Adding a "run and gun" dynamic to the game would definitely appeal to casual gamers and bring RE4 up to sp
It’s certainly a concern, particularly when such care seems to be going towards the remakes and side projects that the company has in store. After all, Capcom has confirmed that fan feedback for Resident Evil 6 is helping to improve the development of the Resident Evil 2 remake . Although that's certainly a positive sign for the remake, given the ignominious reception that Resident Evil 6 received, one may wonder why that feedback is not being used for an entirely new ti
All in all, Street Fighter 5 has been a bit of a disaster for Capcom, with some even claiming that the game has essentially been released in an unfinished state . Unfortunately, it is far from the only flawed title to be released from Capcom’s stables. Although Resident Evil: Revelations 2 was well-received , and the Monster Hunter series has continued to maintain a very strong following, those stand-out classics that the company was known for seem to be drying
However, unlike the original Resident Evil 3 , Jill is much more vocal about what she wants to happen, giving her more control of her situation. As previously mentioned, her conversation with Carlos and Mikhail included sarcastic comebacks, which made some fans think that maybe Capcom is trying too hard to portray her as this badass heroine for the sake of just being badass. However, looking at the context of the situation closely, her reaction to Carlos and Mikhail remains consistent with Jill's charac
Ever since Resident Evil 3 remake's official announcement last December, Capcom has been teasing fans with a generous number of screenshots and gameplay videos to get them hyped up for the upcoming game. What's even more exciting is that the Japanese developer and publisher will release a playable demo sometime before Resident Evil 3 's release in Ap
