Fall from grace

They used to be some of the boldest, most innovative game publishers back in the days. Now they just endlessly recycle and remake the same IPs with their garbage ugly RE Engine.

What went wrong?

    they try new things and if they work they milk them as much as possible, just like every other vidya company. Not even a bad thing really, I'm looking forward to MM 12 and SF6. despite the million clones no one does it like them

      RE4 and DMC3 were released neck to neck not to mention their Clover studios games. Those were some of the most legendary times.

        Unfortunately no one bought clover games, that is why they got disbanded.
        Making games like okami isn't cheap, sadly. Nowadays the market is thriving more than ever for those types of games but I can see why they would be scared about doing things like that

      during gen 6 they
      >made resident evil 4 one of the most influential games of the 3D era
      >created monster hunter
      >created devil may cry
      >created ace attorney
      >created a bunch of cult classics or great off the wall experiments like maximo, haunting grounds, godhand, viewtiful joe, okami, steel battalion etc etc
      now they're just shitting out the same handful of sequels over and over and their new stuff is either vaporware like pragmata or who gives a shit tier like dinocrisis meets overwatch

        not every gen is gonna be full of envelop pushing innovative risks, that's normal. especially with big changes in the economy and their staff. The world is fricked in general, but Japan in particular is not the anime paradise Ganker weebs think it is, it's been close to collapse for decades, just miraculously delaying the inevitable thanks to the central bank's trickery.
        What was Capcom doing during the bubble burst? mostly shitting out MM after MM, and then doing contract work for Nintendo.

    Funny how Monster Hunter doesn't have a single remake, not even ports despite everyone wanting it, its like they have a completely different mindset with Monster Hunter

      That's because most "new entries" in the Monster Hunter franchise are essentially remakes. Let's be real. Most MH games are the same but with better graphics and some updated/new features. The first time Capcom tried to change more with MH was with World.

        Holy frick, what a zoomer take. The first time Capcom tried to change was with Dos. Everyone hated it, and the portable equivalent of Dos became the de-facto main MH game of its generation. Then try tried again with Tri, and everyone hated it so much that despite it being on the wii, it sold far than a third of Portable 2, and almost killed the franchise for good until Portable 3 came out and became the best selling MH game by just being a consistent experience with new monsters. MH3U, MH4 and MH4U were basically damage control on the failure that was tri and they dialed back on everything, adopting the portable formula as their core. And then came World, which was goyslop made to appeal to americans, and in fact sold extremely well in the west while being the worst selling MH game in japan since Dos LMFAO.

    As a very long time Capcom fan and amateur game historian I can't really agree with this opinion about the company. Capcom has been more of an iterative company than innovative.

      Today, it's some suits that just green light Resident Evil, MH and nothing else but that. We can't even get DD2 without waiting a whole decade and then some.

    Even if I grant you the recycled IP stuff, there's no way in hell you actually believe that RE Engine is ugly or a bad engine. There's no way you're not trolling. RE 4 demo was one of the only games in recent memory to have well over 100 fps with raytracing turned on, almost every other game is unplayable with that shit turned on. The engine is literally black magic.

      the characters are significantly uglier than in older capcom games but that might just be their ethics department

    They have the same problems that all big game developers/publishers have now, they have to appease investors and suits which means they can't just pump out small titles willy nilly anymore because it won't generate 100 billion dollars by tomorrow
